Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
This is the main commit for Worklog tasks:
* A more dynamic binlog format which allows small changes (1064)
* Log session variables in Query_log_event (1063)
Below 5.0 means 5.0.0.
MySQL 5.0 is able to replicate FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, UNIQUE_KEY_CHECKS (for speed),
SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL, SQL_MODE. Not charsets (WL#1062), not some vars (I can only think
of SQL_SELECT_LIMIT, which deserves a special treatment). Note that this
works for queries, except LOAD DATA INFILE (for this it would have to wait
for Dmitri's push of WL#874, which in turns waits for the present push, so...
the deadlock must be broken!). Note that when Dmitri pushes WL#874 in 5.0.1,
5.0.0 won't be able to replicate a LOAD DATA INFILE from 5.0.1.
Apart from that, the new binlog format is designed so that it can tolerate
a little variation in the events (so that a 5.0.0 slave could replicate a
5.0.1 master, except for LOAD DATA INFILE unfortunately); that is, when I
later add replication of charsets it should break nothing. And when I later
add a UID to every event, it should break nothing.
The main change brought by this patch is a new type of event, Format_description_log_event,
which describes some lengthes in other event types. This event is needed for
the master/slave/mysqlbinlog to understand a 5.0 log. Thanks to this event,
we can later add more bytes to the header of every event without breaking compatibility.
Inside Query_log_event, we have some additional dynamic format, as every Query_log_event
can have a different number of status variables, stored as pairs (code, value); that's
how SQL_MODE and session variables and catalog are stored. Like this, we can later
add count of affected rows, charsets... and we can have options --don't-log-count-affected-rows
if we want.
MySQL 5.0 is able to run on 4.x relay logs, 4.x binlogs.
Upgrading a 4.x master to 5.0 is ok (no need to delete binlogs),
upgrading a 4.x slave to 5.0 is ok (no need to delete relay logs);
so both can be "hot" upgrades.
Upgrading a 3.23 master to 5.0 requires as much as upgrading it to 4.0.
3.23 and 4.x can't be slaves of 5.0.
So downgrading from 5.0 to 4.x may be complicated.
Log_event::log_pos is now the position of the end of the event, which is
more useful than the position of the beginning. We take care about compatibility
with <5.0 (in which log_pos is the beginning).
I added a short test for replication of SQL_MODE and some other variables.
TODO:
- after committing this, merge the latest 5.0 into it
- fix all tests
- update the manual with upgrade notes.
Fixed problem with char > 128 in QUOTE() function. (Bug #1868)
Disable creation of symlinks if my_disable_symlink is set
Fixed searching of TEXT with end space. (Bug #1651)
Fixed caching bug in multi-table-update where same table was used twice. (Bug #1711)
Fixed problem with UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for timestamps close to 0. (Bug #1998)
Fixed timestamp.test
New formats added for 'week()' function and 'default_week_format' option(4 - 7).
Next formats is supported now:
*Value* *Meaning*
`0' Week starts on Sunday; First Sunday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 0-53.
`1' Week starts on Monday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 0-53.
`2' Week starts on Sunday; First Sunday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 1-53.
`3' Week starts on Monday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 1-53.
`4' Week starts on Sunday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 0-53.
`5' Week starts on Monday; First Monday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 0-53.
`6' Week starts on Sunday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 1-53.
`7' Week starts on Monday; First Monday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 1-53.
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.
Cleaned up (and disabled part of) date/time/datetime format patch. One can't anymore change default read/write date/time/formats.
This is becasue the non standard datetime formats can't be compared as strings and MySQL does still a lot of datetime comparisons as strings
Changed flag argument to str_to_TIME() and get_date() from bool to uint
Removed THD from str_to_xxxx functions and Item class.
Fixed core dump when doing --print-defaults
Move some common string functions to strfunc.cc
Dates as strings are now of type my_charset_bin instead of default_charset()
Introduce IDENT_QUOTED to not have to create an extra copy of simple identifiers (all chars < 128)
Removed xxx_FORMAT_TYPE enums and replaced them with the old TIMESTAMP_xxx enums
Renamed some TIMESTAMP_xxx enums to more appropriate names
Use defines instead of integers for date/time/datetime string lengths
Added to build system and use the new my_strtoll10() function.
