In server we assume that datetime values stored in MYSQL_TIME struct
are normalized (and year is not greater than 9999), so we should
perform range checks in all places then we convert something to
MYSQL_TIME.
added libs variable for ndbmgmclient used by mysqladmin
add linkage with @ndb_mgmclient_libs@
additional options for ndbcluster
added support for managing the cluster to mysqladmin
added DEFINE_CXA_PURE_VIRTUAL flag to CFLAGS to enable linkage with c++ libs
use macros for C_MODE_START/END so that define of FIX_GCC_LINKING_PROBLEM works in c-programs
binlog coordinates corresponding to the dump".
The good news is that now mysqldump can be used to get an online backup of InnoDB *which works for
point-in-time recovery and replication slave creation*. Formerly, mysqldump --master-data --single-transaction
used to call in fact mysqldump --master-data, so the dump was not an online dump (took big lock all time of dump).
The only lock which is now taken in this patch is at the beginning of the dump: mysqldump does:
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT; SHOW MASTER STATUS; UNLOCK TABLES;
so the lock time is in fact the time FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK takes to return (can be 0 or very long, if
a table is undergoing a huge update).
I have done some more minor changes listed in the paragraph of mysqldump.c.
WL#2237 "WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT clause for START TRANSACTION":
it's a START TRANSACTION which additionally starts a consistent read on all
capable storage engine (i.e. InnoDB). So, can serve as a replacement for
BEGIN; SELECT * FROM some_innodb_table LIMIT 1; which starts a consistent read too.
Now thd->mem_root is a pointer to thd->main_mem_root and THR_MALLOC is a pointer to thd->mem_root.
This gives us the following benefits:
- Allow us to easily detect if arena has already been swapped before (this fixes a bug in setup_conds() where arena was swaped twice in some cases)
- Faster swaps of arenas (as we don't have to copy the whole MEM_ROOT)
- We don't anymore have to call my_pthread_setspecific_ptr(THR_MALLOC,...) to change where memory is alloced. Now it's enough to set thd->mem_root
Added protocol::flush() for easier embedded-server code
Increase block allocation variables a bit as they where a bit too small for MySQL 4.1
Added option --silent to client_test
having approval for it since 4.1.4, I also have some assurance that
very few people actually used this: to enable these calls a user
had to #define HAVE_DEPRECATED_411_API and recompile the client library.
