The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Handlerton array is now created instead of using sys_table_types_st. All storage engines can now have inits and giant ifdef's are now gone for startup. No compeltely clean yet, handlertons will next be merged with sys_table_types. Federated and archive now have real cleanup if their inits fail.
Added archive and example storage engine to Windows build
ha_example.cc, ha_archive.cc:
Windows fix, use relative include path to "mysql_priv.h"
ha_archive.h:
Windows VC6 compile needed (char*) cast of byte var
mysqltest.dsp, mysql_test_run_new.dsp:
Added /FD flag, to avoid include file warnings
cursors. This should fix Bug#11813 when InnoDB part is in
(tested with a draft patch).
The idea of the patch is that if a storage engine supports
consistent read views, we open one when open a cursor,
set is as the active view when fetch from the cursor, and close
together with cursor close.
The idea of the patch
is that every cursor gets its own lock id for table level locking.
Thus cursors are protected from updates performed within the same
connection. Additionally a list of transient (must be closed at
commit) cursors is maintained and all transient cursors are closed
when necessary. Lastly, this patch adds support for deadlock
timeouts to TLL locking when using cursors.
+ post-review fixes.
Now we use TABLE::timestamp_field_type instead of
TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now for determining
if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field during this operation.
We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time() instead of
handler::update_timestamp().
New records_in_range() interface (similar to read_range())
Macros for faster bitmap handling
Simplify read_range() code (#WL1786)
New general key_cmp() function to compare keys
Fixed spelling of example share and fxed indention.
ha_example.cc:
Fixed spelling of example and removed a few unneeded printf pieces.
my_base.h:
Adde HA_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED at Monty's request
