Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
Sergey Petrunia's ROR code fails to tell handlers that they should retrieve the primary key columns; let InnoDB ALWAYS retrieve them, to fix many bugs and potential bugs
Anthony's http://lists.mysql.com/internals/18505 patch for DROP DATABASE broke caused it to return errno if .ibd files were present (bas_ext() was obsolete in ha_innodb.cc); fix this
Manually ported this bug fix from 4.0:
Fix InnoDB bug #6287: if one uses INSERT IGNORE to insert several rows at a time, and the first inserts are ignored because of a duplicate key collision, then InnoDB in a replication slave assigns AUTO_INCREMENT values 1 bigger than in the master
locks all rows (BUG #3300). When using innobase_locks_unsafe_for_binlog
option InnoDB does not take locks for those rows which do not
belong to the result set or werent changed by the query. This fix removes
unnecessary locks also from SELECT and DELETE queries.
Remove compiler warning 'skip_auto_inc_decr' : unreferenced local variable in Visual C++; of course, I still have to check Monty's auto-inc patch in whole
Rename innodb_table_locks_old_behavior -> innodb_table_locks
Set innodb_table_locks to off by default to get same behaviour as in MySQL 4.0.20
(This means that Innodb ignore table locks by default, which makes it easier to combine MyISAM and InnoDB to simulate a transaction)
Simple optimzations and cleanups
Removed compiler warnings and fixed portability issues
Added client functions 'mysql_embedded()' to allow client to check if we are using embedded server
Fixes for purify
Change error code to HA_ERR_ROW_IS_REFERENCED if we cannot DROP a parent table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint; this error number is less misleading than the previous value HA_ERR_CANNOT_ADD_FOREIGN, but misleading still; we should introduce to 5.0 a proper MySQL error code
