mariadb/mysql-test/include/diff_tables.inc

# ==== Purpose ====
#
# Check if the two given tables (possibly residing on different
# master/slave servers) are equal.
#
# ==== Usage ====
#
# The tables to check are given by the test language variables
# $diff_table_1 and $diff_table_2.  They must be of the
# following form:
#
#  [master:|slave:]database.table
#
# I.e., both database and table must be speicified.  Optionally, you
# can prefix the name with 'master:' (to read the table on master) or
# with 'slave:' (to read the table on slave).  If no prefix is given,
# reads the table from the current connection.  If one of these
# variables has a prefix, both should have a prefix.
#
# ==== Side effects ====
#
# - Prints "Comparing tables $diff_table_1 and $diff_tables_2".
#
# - If the tables are different, prints the difference in a
#   system-specific format (unified diff if supported) and generates
#   an error.
#
# - If $diff_table_1 or $diff_table_2 begins with 'master:' or
#   'slave:', it will stay connected to one of those hosts after
#   execution.  The host is only guaranteed to remain unchanged if
#   none of $diff_table_1 or $diff_table_2 begins with 'master:' or
#   'slave:'.
#
# ==== Bugs ====
#
# - It is currently not possible to use this for tables that are
#   supposed to be different, because if the files are different:
#    - 'diff' produces system-dependent output,
#    - the output includes the absolute path of the compared files,
#    - the output includes a timestamp.
#   To fix that, we'd probably have to use SQL to compute the
#   symmetric difference between the tables.  I'm not sure how to do
#   that efficiently.  If we implement this, it would be nice to
#   compare the table definitions too.
#
# - It actually compares the result of "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY
#   col1, col2, ..., colN INTO OUTFILE 'file'".  Hence, it is assumed
#   that the comparison orders for both tables are equal and that two
#   rows that are equal in the comparison order cannot differ, e.g.,
#   by character case.


# ==== Save both tables to file ====
