For "count(*) while index_column = value" an index read
is done. It consists of an index scan and retrieval of
each key.
For efficiency reasons the index scan stores the key in
the special buffer 'lastkey2' once only. At the first
iteration it notes this fact with the flag
HA_STATE_RNEXT_SAME in 'info->update'.
For efficiency reasons, the key retrieval for blobs
does not allocate a new buffer, but uses 'lastkey2'...
Now I clear the HA_STATE_RNEXT_SAME flag whenever the
buffer has been polluted. In this case, the index scan
copies the key value again (and sets the flag again).
for uca collation isalnum and strnncollsp don't agree on whether
0xC2A0 is a space (strnncollsp is right, isalnum is wrong).
they still don't, the bug was fixed by avoiding strnncollsp
Fixed compiler warnings (a lot of hidden variables detected by the Forte compiler)
Added a lot of 'version_xxx' strings to 'show variables'
Prevent copying of TMP_TABLE_PARAM (This caused core dump bug on Solaris)
Fixed problem with printing sub selects to debug log
Added key cache parameters for midpoint insertion strategy
Many files:
Added midpoint insertion strategy for key cache
mi_test2.c:
Added a parameter to resize_key_cache
Fixes for embedded server
Made key_cache more configurable
Fixed that one can change key blocksize in MyISAM
A lot of optimizations to make MyISAM slightly faster
