the rpm postinstall script must call mysql_install_db with --user=mysql,
and mysql_install_db must then pass this to mysqld. Otherwise, mysqld
runs as root, and if you have --log-bin=somewhere_out_of_var_lib_mysql
it creates binlog files owned by root in this dir, and this dir is not
fixed by the 'chmod mysql', so files remain owned by root, and later mysqld
(running as 'mysql') can't read them.
I'm hardcoding 'mysql' in the postinstall script, but it's already hardcoded
there in many places (see the useradd and chown) so it's ok.
Ensured that all projects compile
Removed compiler warnings
Better setting of server_version variable.
Fix that make_win_src_distribution creates the privilege tables.
use the local machine's IP address instead of the host name when
building the initial grant tables if "skip-name-resolve" has been
specified in my.cnf. This can be helpful on FreeBSD to avoid
thread-safety problems with the FreeBSD resolver libraries.
(Thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for the patch)
Unfortunately the returned value of "hostname" is inconsistent on
various platforms - some return the host name only, others return the
FQDN by default. On Linux, one can use option "-f" to enable the output
of the FQDN. Use it, if available.
Fixed bug in SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT
Fixed bug in ALTER TABLE and RENAME TABLE with --lower-case-table-names
Fixed hang when using --with-openssl
SHOW DATABASES
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE
LOCK TABLES
REPLICATION SLAVE & REPLICATION CLIENT
SUPER
EXECUTE
All scripts & documentation is updated for this change.
Added better error messages for global privileges
One more notice:
limiting number of queries per hour for different users has been done
on 4.0.1 , but I can port it to 3.23.*
This will require only certain changes, like number of columns in user
table.
I will also make a test case for it, after it is approved by Monty,
as result file will depend on the error message text.
* multi-table updates
* new paid feature for limiting number of queries per hour for users
* optional syntax for multi-table deletes
* optimization for SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
* a small addition for CREATE .. SELECT that will be of future use
I know that all this will require many additions to documentation,
which I have not done, but I am at Arjen's disposal to help him document
all this.
Fixes for embedded server
Made key_cache more configurable
Fixed that one can change key blocksize in MyISAM
A lot of optimizations to make MyISAM slightly faster
