The problem was that the CSV storage engine does not support NULL
fields, yet in some early 5.1 version the log tables (general_log
and slow_log) were created with null fields. On top of this, when
altering a CSV table column, all fields of the table must be NOT
NULL otherwise the alteration fails.
The solution is to ensure that during upgrade all columns of the
log tables are NOT NULL.
The problem was incorrect escaping used inside a strnig : in \"$MYSQLD\" was written as "\MYSQL\"
(backslash and quote characters transposed), when defining FIND_PROC variable for BSD or SysV
style "ps" command-
Additionally fixed obvious code duplication and random naming in CHECK_PID test.
using cmake option INSTALL_LAYOUT=STANDALONE would produce the layout as in
tar.gz or zip packages.
INSTALL_LAYOUT=UNIX will produce unixish install layout (with mysqld being in sbin subdirectory , libs in lib/mysql etc). This layout is used for RPM packages.
Subtle differences in both packages unfortunately lead to the need to recompile MySQL to use with other package type - as otherwise for example default plugins or data directories would be wrong set.
There are numerous other variables that allow fine-tuning packaging layout. (INSTALL_BINDIR, INSTALL_LIBDIR , INSTALL_PLUGINDIR etc).
This options are different from autotools as they do not expect full paths to directories, but only subdirectory of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
There are 2 special options that expect full directory paths
- MYSQL_DATADIR that defines default MYSQL data directory (autotools equivalent
is --localstatedir)
- SYSCONFDIR can be added to search my.cnf search path (autotools equivalent is --sysconfdir)
Several items said to be deprecated in the 4.1 manual
have never been removed. This worklog adds deprecation
warnings when these items are used, and warns the user
that the items will be removed in MySQL 5.6.
A couple of previously deprecation decision have been
reversed (see single file comments)
-lm is sometimes not linked, which causes errors about undefined rint()
- FreeBSD embedded library does not link with the flags returned by mysql_config
(added -lcrypt to LIBS, whereby causing overlinking in case of normal non-embedded client)
"mysql_upgrade (ver 5.1) add 3 fields to mysql.proc table but does
not set values".
mysql_upgrade (ver 5.1) adds 3 fields (character_set_client,
collation_connection and db_collation) to the mysql.proc table, but
does not set any values. When we run stored procedures, which were
created with mysql 5.0, a warning is logged into the error log.
The solution to this is for mysql_upgrade to set default best guess
values for these fields. A warning is also written during upgrade, to
make the user aware that default values are set.
