New prototype for get_auto_increment() (but new arguments not yet used), to be able
to reserve a finite interval of auto_increment values from cooperating engines.
A hint on how many values to reserve is found in handler::estimation_rows_to_insert,
filled by ha_start_bulk_insert(), new wrapper around start_bulk_insert().
NOTE: this patch changes nothing, for all engines. But it makes the API ready for those
engines which will want to do reservation.
More csets will come to complete WL#3146.
ALTER TABLE crashes
Executing fast alter table (one that doesn't need to copy data)
on tables created by mysql versions prior to 4.0.25 could result
in posterior server crash when accessing these tables.
There was a bug prior to mysql-4.0.25. Number of null fields was
calculated incorrectly. As a result frm and data files gets out of
sync after fast alter table. There is no way to determine by which
mysql version (in 4.0 and 4.1 branches) table was created, thus we
disable fast alter table for all tables created by mysql versions
prior to 5.0 branch.
See BUG#6236.
Bug#18282 "INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES provides inconsistent info about invalid views"
This bug caused crashes or resulted in wrong data being returned
when one tried to obtain information from I_S tables about views
using stored functions.
It was caused by the fact that we were using LEX representing
statement which were doing select from I_S tables as active LEX
when contents of I_S table were built. So state of this LEX both
affected and was affected by open_tables() calls which happened
during this process. This resulted in wrong behavior and in
violations of some of invariants which caused crashes.
This fix tries to solve this problem by properly saving/resetting
and restoring part of LEX which affects and is affected by the
process of opening tables and views in get_all_tables() routine.
To simplify things we separated this part of LEX in a new class
and made LEX its descendant.
duplicate fields removed, st_mysql_storage_engine added to support
run-time handlerton initialization (no compiler warnings), handler API
is now tied to MySQL version, handlerton->plugin mapping added
(slot-based), dummy default_hton removed, plugin-type-specific
initialization generalized, built-in plugins are now initialized too,
--default-storage-engine no longer needs a list of storage engines
in handle_options().
mysql-test-run.pl bugfixes
frm and data files for tables created by earlier MySQL
versions becomes out of sync after certain ALTER TABLE statements:
- One that changes column default value;
- One that changes table comment;
- One that changes table password.
As a result one can expirience either server crash or data corruption/loss.
This fix ensures that running ALTER TABLE on tables created by earlier
MySQL versions recreates data files.
"alter table from MyISAM to MERGE lost data without errors and warnings"
Add new handlerton flag which prevent user from altering table storage
engine to storage engines which would lose data. Both 'blackhole' and
'merge' are marked with the new flag.
Tests included.
or implicitly uses stored function gives "Table not locked" error'
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ... statement which was explicitly or implicitly
(through view) using stored function gave "Table not locked" error.
The actual bug resides in the current locking scheme of CREATE TABLE SELECT
code, which first opens and locks tables of the SELECT statement itself,
and then, having SELECT tables locked, creates the .FRM, opens the .FRM and
acquires lock on it. This scheme opens a possibility for a deadlock, which
was present and ignored since version 3.23 or earlier. This scheme also
conflicts with the invariant of the prelocking algorithm -- no table can
be open and locked while there are tables locked in prelocked mode.
The patch makes an exception for this invariant when doing CREATE TABLE ...
SELECT, thus extending the possibility of a deadlock to the prelocked mode.
We can't supply a better fix in 5.0.
Added support for key_block_size to MyISAM.
Simplify interface to 'new Key' to make it easier to add new key options.
mysqld option --new is used to define where key options are printed.
(In 5.3 we should move all key options to after key part definition to avoid problem with reserved names)
Fixed some compiler warnings and a memory leak in ssl
