connectors plugins
Implemented changes needed to keep the client plugin API compatible with
the existing plugins :
1. Provided an options() client plugin API to let the application pass
options to the plugin after loading it
2. Added "License" (const char *) to specify the client plugin's license
3. Added "mysql_api" as a placeholder that the client library can use
to pass function pointers to the plugin so that the plugin can call the
C lib back.
4. Updated the existing client plugins to comply with the API change.
5. Added more detailed error message generation for Windows.
Restore a stub of the removed mysql_odbc_escape_string function
to fix a ABI breakage. The function was intended to be private
and used only by Connector/ODBC, but, unfortunately, it was exported
as part of the ABI. Nonetheless, only a stub is restored as the
original function is inherently broken and shouldn't be used.
This restoration only applies to MySQL 5.0. This will be addressed
differently in later versions -- reworked library versioning.
Remove the mysql_odbc_escape_string() function. The function
has multi-byte character escaping issues, doesn't honor the
NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode and is not used anymore by the
Connector/ODBC as of 3.51.17.
as a work around for #8317 and #9637
This function sends SET NAMES command and changes mysql->charset
so mysql_real_escape_string will work as expected.
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
produce hex digits in lower case). (fixed version)
Replaced _dig_vec array with two _dig_vec_upper/_dig_vec_lower arrays.
Added extra argument to int2str function which controls case of digits you get.
Replaced lot of invocations of int2str for decimal radix with more optimized int10_to_str()
function.
Removed unused my_itoa/my_ltoa functions.
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Added MYSQL_TYPE_NULL as a dummy bind case for fetch buffers
Fix for offset based re-fetch using mysql_fetch_column
Misc cleanups for ODBC compatibility
