Fixed some possible fatal wrong arguments to printf() style functions
Initialized some not initialized variables
Fixed bug in stored procedure and continue handlers
(Fixes Bug#22150)
Bug #21785 "Server crashes after rename of the log table" and
Bug #21966 "Strange warnings on create like/repair of the log
tables"
According to the patch, from now on, one should use RENAME to
perform a log table rotation (this should also be reflected in
the manual).
Here is a sample:
use mysql;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS general_log2 LIKE general_log;
RENAME TABLE general_log TO general_log_backup, general_log2 TO general_log;
The rules for Rename of the log tables are following:
IF 1. Log tables are enabled
AND 2. Rename operates on the log table and nothing is being
renamed to the log table.
DO 3. Throw an error message.
ELSE 4. Perform rename.
The very RENAME query will go the the old (backup) table. This is
consistent with the behavoiur we have with binlog ROTATE LOGS
statement.
Other problems, which are solved by the patch are:
1) Now REPAIR of the log table is exclusive operation (as it should be), this
also eliminates lock-related warnings. and
2) CREATE LIKE TABLE now usese usual read lock on the source table rather
then name lock, which is too restrictive. This way we get rid of another
log table-related warning, which occured because of the above fact
(as a side-effect, name lock resulted in a warning).
Both on its own and in the plugin shutdown.... not so good. The code is a bit simpler, and we could now technically remove the panic all entirely if we wanted to.
In practice this means that handlerton is now created by the server and is passed to the engine. Plugin startups can now also control how plugins are inited (and can optionally pass values). Bit more flexibility to those who want to write plugin interfaces to the database.
Only MyISAM tables locked with LOCK TABLES ... WRITE were affected.
A query that is optimized with index_merge doesn't reflect rows
inserted within LOCK TABLES.
MyISAM doesn't flush a state within LOCK TABLES. index_merge
optimization creates a copy of the handler, which thus gets
outdated MyISAM state.
New handler->clone() method is introduced to fix this problem.
For non-MyISAM storage engines it allocates a handler and opens
it with ha_open(). For MyISAM it additionally copies MyISAM state
pointer to cloned handler.
Plugins now when compiled or not compiled work correctly with status variables.
Status variables from plugins now set their own names (removed bit where plugin name was pre-appended this broke Innodb and Cluster)
A few Makefile cleanups.
There is an existing macros for initializing LEX_STRINGs
with constant strings -> C_STRING_WITH_LEN. Change existing code to use it.
(char *) STRING_WITH_LEN -> C_STRING_WITH_LEN
