Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
Portability fixes for HPUX
Rename of CHECK_LOCK to IS_FREE_LOCK
Apply lower_case_table_names also to databases
Cleanup of describe code
Don't allow \ in database names
(All commit emails since 4.0.1 checked)
This had to be done now, before the 4.1 tree changes to much, to make it easy to propagate bug fixes to the 4.1 tree.
accomodate EXPLAIN properly for all possible variant of UNION's
derived tables etc ...
This also fixes all reported (and unreported) bugs when EXPLAIN is
run on UNION's.
select_describe() now has a very dirty hack to avoid some problems
with transactional tables on table unlocking.
Code speedup is possible. For the moment all that was important was
that all tests are passed.
Bug fix when using --no-deaults
Sets ref_length to right value (faster rnd_pos() handling in InnoDB).
Fixed problem with multi-table-delete and InnoDB
Fixed problem with truncate table, which required a COMMIT before.
Fixed multi-table-delete bug with InnoDB.
Remove not used index from EXPLAIN
Test of unsigned BIGINT values
Fixes for queries-per-hour
Cleanup of replication code (comments and portability fixes)
Make most of the binary log code 4G clean
Changed syntax for GRANT ... QUERIES PER HOUR
Faster 'read_first_row' (Fixes slow 'preparing' state)
Read constant tables earlier, which provides better optimzations when using tables with <=1 row.
This also fixes a complicated bug involving const tables.
