column types TIMESTAMP is NOT NULL by default, so in order to have
TIMESTAMP column holding NULL valaues you have to specify NULL as
one of its attributes (this needed for backward compatibility).
Main changes:
Replaced TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now members with
TABLE::timestamp_auto_set_type flag which is used everywhere
for determining if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field
during this operation or not. We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time()
instead of handler::update_timestamp() in handlers.
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Reworked the HANDLER functions and interface.
Using a HASH to store information on open tables that
survives FLUSH TABLE.
HANDLER tables alias names must now be unique, though it
is allowed in 4.0 to qualify them with the database name
of the base table.
Changed the semantics of open_count so that it is decremented
at every unlock (if it was incremented due to data changes).
So it indicates a crash, if it is non-zero after a lock.
The table will then be repaired.
added tests to alter table for "large" alter tables and truncates in ndbcluster
added debug printout in restart() in ndbcluster
added flag THD::transaction.on to enable/disable transaction
Fix for BUG#4971 "CREATE TABLE ... TYPE=HEAP SELECT ... stops slave (wrong DELETE in binlog)":
replacing the no_log argument of mysql_create_table() by some safer method
(temporarily setting OPTION_BIN_LOG to 0) which guarantees that even the automatic
DELETE FROM heap_table does not get into the binlog when a not-yet-existing HEAP table
is opened by mysql_create_table().

Bug #4810 "deadlock with KILL when the victim was in a wait state"
(I included mutex unlock into exit_cond() for future safety)
and BUG#4827 "KILL while START SLAVE may lead to replication slave crash"
BUG#4506 "mysqlbinlog --position --read-from-remote-server has wrong "# at" lines",
BUG#4553 "Multi-table DROP TABLE replicates improperly for nonexistent table" with a test file.
It was not possible to add a test for BUG#4506 as in the test suite we must use --short-form
which does not display the "# at" lines.
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
binlog even if they changed nothing, and a test for this.
This is useful when users use these commands to clean up their master and slave by issuing
one command on master (assume master and slave have slightly different data for some
reason and you want to clean up both).
Note that I have not changed multi-table DELETE and multi-table UPDATE because their
error-reporting mechanism is more complicated.
which occured because we were not lowering case of file names
for temporary tables altough handler assumes so if
lower_case_table_names==2. Now we are lowering case for them.
names to lower case using latin1 instead of utf-8 in sql_acl.cc if lower_case_table_names
was on. Also replaced in other such places system_charset_info with files_charset_info
for consistency.
