新しい変更を MySQL に施すと同時に、マニュアルを変更することに注意してください。 もしマニュアルにかかれているのに MySQL download page に 新しいバージョンの MySQL が見つからない場合、そのバージョンはまだリリースされていません！
リリース3.23、およびリリース3.22と3.21との違いは、 3.23が新しいISAMライブラリ( MyISAM )を含むということです。 これは古いISAMより、SQLにとってよりチューニングされています。
3.23リリースは開発中で、機能は速いペースで付け加えられるでしょう。 さしあたり、我々は、このリリースを、このリリースのみにある機能 (大ファイルのサポート、および、マシン非依存のテーブル)を 必要としているユーザーに対してのみ、推薦します。 ( MySQL 3.23の全ての新しい機能は、広くテストされます。 しかし、このリリースが多くの新型コードを含むので、すべてをテストすることが難しいです)。 我々が subselect をこれに含むようにすると同時に、このバージョンは、安定させ始めるべきです。

but as this patch changes ISAM internals it's not yet in the default
distribution.
DATE_ADD() and DATE_SUB() didn't work with group functions.
mysql will now also try to reconnect on USE DATABASE commands.

keywords when you write portable code. MySQL will parse the code
inside the comments as if the surrounding /*! and */ comment
characters didn't exist.
OPTIMIZE TABLE tbl_name can now be used to reclaim disk space
after many deletes. Currently, this uses ALTER TABLE to re-generate
the table, but in the future it will use an integrated isamchk
for more speed.
libtool to get the configure more portable.
UPDATE and DELETE operations when using
DATETIME or DATE keys.
mysqladmin proc to display information about your own
threads. Only users with the Process_priv privilege can get
information about all threads.
YYMMDD, YYYYMMDD,
YYMMDDHHMMSS for numbers when using DATETIME and
TIMESTAMP types. (Formerly these formats only worked with strings.)
CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE to allow use of spaces
after function names and before `(' (Powerbuilder requires this).
This will make all function names reserved words.
--log-long-format option to mysqld to enable timestamps
and INSERT_ID's in the update log.
--where option to mysqldump (patch by Jim Faucette).
mysqldump.
LOAD DATA INFILE statement, you can now use the new LOCAL
keyword to read the file from the client. mysqlimport will
automatically use LOCAL when importing with the TCP/IP protocol.
DROP TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DELETE FROM
TABLE and mysqladmin flush-tables under heavy usage.
Changed locking code to get better handling of locks of different types.
DBI to 1.00 and DBD to 1.2.0.
mysqld. (To avoid errors if you accidentally
try to use an old error message file.)
affected_rows(),
insert_id(),...) are now of type BIGINT to allow 64-bit values
to be used.
This required a minor change in the MySQL protocol which should affect
only old clients when using tables with AUTO_INCREMENT values > 24M.
mysql_fetch_lengths() has changed from uint *
to ulong *. This may give a warning for old clients but should work
on most machines.
mysys and dbug libraries to allocate all thread variables
in one struct. This makes it easier to make a threaded `libmysql.dll'
library.
gethostname() (instead of uname()) when
constructing `.pid' file names.
COUNT(), STD() and AVG() are extended to handle more than
4G rows.
-838:59:59 <= x <=
838:59:59 in a TIME column.
TIME column to too short a value, MySQL now
assumes the value is given as: [[[D ]HH:]MM:]SS instead of
HH[:MM[:SS]].
TIME_TO_SEC() and SEC_TO_TIME() can now handle negative times
and hours up to 32767.
SET OPTION SQL_LOG_UPDATE={0|1} to allow users with
the process privilege to bypass the update log.
(Modified patch from Sergey A Mukhin violet@rosnet.net.)
LPAD().
BLOB reading from
pipes safer.
-O max_connect_errors=# option to mysqld.
Connect errors are now reset for each correct connection.
max_allowed_packet to 1M in
mysqld.
--low-priority-updates option to mysqld, to give
table-modifying operations (INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE,
DELETE) lower priority than retrievals. You can now use
{INSERT | REPLACE | UPDATE | DELETE} LOW_PRIORITY ... You can
also use SET OPTION SQL_LOW_PRIORITY_UPDATES={0|1} to change
the priority for one thread. One side effect is that LOW_PRIORITY
is now a reserved word. :(
INSERT INTO table ... VALUES(...),(...),(...),
to allow inserting multiple rows with a single statement.
INSERT INTO tbl_name is now also cached when used with LOCK TABLES.
(Previously only INSERT ... SELECT and LOAD DATA INFILE were
cached.)
GROUP BY functions with HAVING:
mysql> SELECT col FROM table GROUP BY col HAVING COUNT(*)>0;
mysqld will now ignore trailing `;' characters in queries. This
is to make it easier to migrate from some other SQL servers that require the
trailing `;'.
SELECT INTO OUTFILE.
GREATEST() and LEAST() functions. You must now use
these instead of the MAX() and MIN() functions to get the
largest/smallest value from a list of values. These can now handle REAL,
BIGINT and string (CHAR or VARCHAR) values.
DAYOFWEEK() had offset 0 for Sunday. Changed the offset to 1.
GROUP BY columns and fields when
there is no GROUP BY specification.
--vertical option to mysql, for printing results in
vertical mode.
--tmpdir option to mysqld, for specifying the location
of the temporary file directory.
SELECT ... FROM table WHERE auto_increment_column IS NULLto:
SELECT ... FROM table WHERE auto_increment_column == LAST_INSERT_ID()This allows some ODBC programs (Delphi, Access) to retrieve the newly inserted row to fetch the
AUTO_INCREMENT id.
DROP TABLE now waits for all users to free a table before deleting it.
BIN(), OCT(), HEX() and CONV() for
converting between different number bases.
SUBSTRING() with 2 arguments.
ORDER BY and
GROUP BY.
mysqld now automatically disables system locking on Linux and Win32,
and for systems that use MIT-pthreads. You can force the use of locking
with the --enable-locking option.
--console option to mysqld, to force a console window
(for error messages) when using Win32.
DATE_ADD() and DATE_SUB() functions.
mysql_ping() to the client library.
--compress option to all MySQL clients.
byte to char in `mysql.h' and `mysql_com.h'.
<<, >>, RPAD() and LPAD().
ORDER BY to work when no records are found
when using fields that are not in GROUP BY (MySQL extension).
--chroot option to mysqld, to start mysqld in
a chroot environment (by Nikki Chumakov nikkic@cityline.ru).
--one-thread option to mysqld, for debugging with
LinuxThreads (or glibc). (This replaces the -T32 flag)
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS to prevent an error from occurring if the
table doesn't exist.
IF and EXISTS are now reserved words (they would have to
be sooner or later).
mysqldump.
mysql_ping().
mysql_init() and mysql_options().
You now MUST call mysql_init() before you call
mysql_real_connect().
You don't have to call mysql_init() if you only use
mysql_connect().
mysql_options(...,MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT,...) so you can set a
timeout for connecting to a server.
--timeout option to mysqladmin, as a test of
mysql_options().
AFTER column and FIRST options to
ALTER TABLE ... ADD columns.
This makes it possible to add a new column at some specific location
within a row in an existing table.
WEEK() now takes an optional argument to allow handling of weeks when
the week starts on Monday (some European countries). By default,
WEEK() assumes the week starts on Sunday.
TIME columns weren't stored properly (bug in MySQL 3.22.0).
UPDATE now returns information about how many rows were
matched and updated, and how many ``warnings'' occurred when doing the update.
FORMAT(-100,2).
ENUM and SET columns were compared in binary (case-sensitive)
fashion; changed to be case insensitive.
mysql_real_connect() call is changed to:
mysql_real_connect(MYSQL *mysql, const char *host, const char *user,
const char *passwd, const char *db, uint port,
const char *unix_socket, uint client_flag)
accept() thread. This fixes permanently the telnet bug
that was a topic on the mail list some time ago.
mysqld now has a local hostname
resolver cache so connections should actually be faster than before,
even with this feature.
tbl_name@db_name or db_name.tbl_name. This makes it possible to
give a user read access to some tables and write access to others simply by
keeping them in different databases!
--user option to mysqld, to allow it to run
as another Unix user (if it is started as the Unix root user).
mysqladmin password 'new_password'. This uses encrypted passwords
that are not logged in the normal MySQL log!
SELECT code to handle some very specific queries
involving group functions (like COUNT(*)) without a GROUP BY but
with HAVING. The following now works:
mysql> SELECT count(*) as C FROM table HAVING C > 1;
malloc().
-T32 option to mysqld, for running all queries under the
main thread. This makes it possible to debug mysqld under Linux with
gdb!
not_null_column IS NULL (needed for some Access
queries).
STRAIGHT_JOIN to be used between two tables to force the optimizer
to join them in a specific order.
VARCHAR rather than CHAR and
the column type is now VARCHAR for fields saved as VARCHAR.
This should make the MyODBC driver better, but may break some old
MySQL clients that don't handle FIELD_TYPE_VARCHAR the same
way as FIELD_TYPE_CHAR.
CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX are now implemented through
ALTER TABLE.
CREATE TABLE is still the recommended (fast) way to create indexes.
--set-variable option wait_timeout to mysqld.
mysqladmin processlist to show how long a query
has taken or how long a thread has slept.
show variables and some new to
show status.
YEAR. YEAR is stored in 1 byte with allowable
values of 0, and 1901 to 2155.
DATE type that is stored in 3 bytes rather than 4 bytes.
All new tables are created with the new date type if you don't use the
--old-protocol option to mysqld.
Error from table handler: # on some operating systems.
--enable-assembler option to configure, for x86 machines
(tested on Linux + gcc). This will enable assembler functions for the
most important string functions for more speed!
SIGHUP to mysqld;
mysqld core dumped when starting from boot on some systems.
DELETE FROM tbl_name without a WHERE condition is now done the
long way when you use LOCK TABLES or if the table is in use, to

refresh often. This could in some very rare cases corrupt the header of the
index file and cause error 126 or 138.
refresh() when running with the --skip-locking
option.
There was a ``very small'' time gap after a mysqladmin refresh when
a table could be corrupted if one thread updated a table while another
thread did mysqladmin refresh and another thread started a new update
ont the same table before the first thread had finished.
A refresh (or --flush-tables) will now not return until all used tables
are closed!
SELECT DISTINCT with a WHERE clause that didn't match any rows

umask() to make log files non-readable for normal users.
--old-protocol option to mysqld.
SELECT which matched all key fields returned the values in the
case of the matched values, not of the found values. (Minor problem.)
FROM_DAYS(0) now returns "0000-00-00".
DATE_FORMAT(), PM and AM were swapped for hours 00 and 12.
BLOB/TEXT in GROUP BY with many
tables.

OSF1 V4.0 alpha, FreeBSD 2.2.2 i86pc and BSDI 3.1 i386.
COUNT(*) problems when the WHERE clause didn't match any
records. (Bug from 3.21.17.)
NULL = NULL is true. Now you must use IS NULL
or IS NOT NULL to test whether or not a value is NULL.
(This is according to ANSI SQL but may break
old applications that are ported from mSQL.)
You can get the old behavior by compiling with -DmSQL_COMPLIANT.

BLOB and TEXT, to
be compatible with mysqldump.
mysqlperl is now from
Msql-Mysql-modules. This means that connect() now takes
host, database, user, password arguments! The old
version took host, database, password, user.
DATE '1997-01-01', TIME '12:10:10' and
TIMESTAMP '1997-01-01 12:10:10' formats required by ANSI SQL.
WARNING: INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!! This has the unfortunate
side-effect that you no longer can have columns named DATE, TIME
or TIMESTAMP. :( Old columns can still be accessed through
tablename.columnname!)
make programs trying to rebuild it.
readline library upgraded to version 2.1.
DBI/DBD is now included in the distribution. DBI
is now the recommended way to connect to MySQL from Perl.
DBD, with test results from
mSQL 2.0.3, MySQL, PostgreSQL 6.2.1 and Solid server 2.2.

designed to find as many limits as possible in a SQL server. Tested with
mSQL, PostgreSQL, Solid and MySQL.
mysql command line tool, by Zeev
Suraski and Andi Gutmans.
REPLACE that works like INSERT but
replaces conflicting records with the new record. REPLACE INTO
TABLE ... SELECT ... works also.
CREATE DATABASE db_name and DROP
DATABASE db_name.
RENAME option to ALTER TABLE: ALTER TABLE name
RENAME AS new_name.
make_binary_distribution now includes `libgcc.a' in
`libmysqlclient.a'. This should make linking work for people who don't
have gcc.
net_write() to my_net_write() because of a name
conflict with Sybase.
DAYOFWEEK() compatible with ODBC.
bison memory overrun checking to make MySQL
safer with weird queries.
configure problems on some platforms.
DATE_FORMAT().

DATE and TIME values with NULL.
FLOAT. Previously, the
values were converted to INTs before sorting.
key_column=constant.
DOUBLE values sorted on integer results instead.
mysql no longer needs a database argument.
HAVING should be. According to ANSI, it should
be after GROUP BY but before ORDER BY. MySQL 3.20
incorrectly had it last.
USE DATABASE to start using another database.
mysqld doesn't crash even if you haven't done a
ulimit -n 256 before starting mysqld.
errno.
This makes Linux systems much safer!

LIKE on number key.
--table option to mysql to print in table format.
Moved time and row information after query result.
Added automatic reconnect of lost connections.
!= as a synonym for <>.

the result wasn't grouped.
LIKE with '_' as last character didn't work. Fixed.
TRIM() function.
CURTIME().
ENCRYPT() function by Zeev Suraski.
FOREIGN KEY syntax skipping. New reserved words:
MATCH, FULL, PARTIAL.
mysqld now allows IP number and hostname to the --bind-address
option.
SET OPTION CHARACTER SET cp1251_koi8 to enable conversions of
data to/from cp1251_koi8.
CREATE COLUMN syntax of NOT NULL columns to be after
the DEFAULT value, as specified in the ANSI SQL standard. This will
make mysqldump with NOT NULL and default values incompatible with
MySQL 3.20.
ALTER TABLE tbl_name ALTER COLUMN col_name SET DEFAULT
NULL.
CHAR and BIT as synonyms for CHAR(1).
INSERT ... SELECT ... GROUP BY didn't work in some cases. An
Invalid use of group function error occurred.
LIMIT, SELECT now always uses keys instead of record
scan. This will give better performance on SELECT and a WHERE
that matches many rows.
BIT_OR() and BIT_AND().
CHECK and REFERENCES.
CHECK is now a reserved word.
ALL option to GRANT for better compatibility. (GRANT
is still a dummy function.)
ORDER BY and GROUP BY with NULL columns.
last_insert_id() to retrieve last AUTO_INCREMENT
value. This is intended for clients to ODBC that can't use the
mysql_insert_id() API function, but can be used by any client.
--flush-logs option to mysqladmin.
STATUS to mysql.
ORDER BY/GROUP BY because of bug in gcc.
INSERT ... SELECT ... GROUP BY.
mysqlaccess.
CREATE now supports all ODBC types and the mSQL TEXT type.
All ODBC 2.5 functions are also supported (added REPEAT). This provides
better portability.
TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT and
LONGTEXT. These are actually BLOBtypes, but all searching is
done in case-insensitive fashion.
BLOB fields are now TEXT fields. This only
changes that all searching on strings is done in case-sensitive fashion.
You must do an ALTER TABLE and change the field type to BLOB
if you want to have tests done in case-sensitive fashion.
configure issues.
test-select works.
--enable-unix-socket=pathname option to configure.
SUM() functions.
For example, you can now use SUM(column)/COUNT(column).

WHERE const op field.
NULL fields.
--pid-file=# option to mysqld.
FROM_UNIXTIME(), originally by Zeev Suraski.
BETWEEN in range optimizer (Did only test = of the first
argument).
mysql_errno(), to get the error number of
the error message. This makes error checking in the client much easier.
This makes the new server incompatible with the 3.20.x server when running
without --old-protocol. The client code is backward compatible.
More information can be found in the `README' file!
sigwait and sigset
defines).
configure should now be able to detect the last argument to
accept().
-O tmp_table_size=# to mysqld.
FROM_UNIXTIME(timestamp) which returns a date string in
'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:DD' format.
SEC_TO_TIME(seconds) which returns a string in
'HH:MM:SS' format.
SUBSTRING_INDEX(), originally by Zeev Suraski.
mysqld doesn't work on it yet.
pthread_create to work.
mysqld doesn't accept hostnames that start with digits followed by a
'.', because the hostname may look like an IP number.
--skip-networking option to mysqld, to only allow socket
connections. (This will not work with MIT-pthreads!)
free() that killed the server on
CREATE DATABASE or DROP DATABASE.
mysqld -O options to better names.
-O join_cache_size=# option to mysqld.
-O max_join_size=# option to mysqld, to be able to set a
limit how big queries (in this case big = slow) one should be able to handle
without specifying SET OPTION SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1. A # = is about 10
examined records. The default is ``unlimited''.
TIME, DATE, DATETIME or TIMESTAMP
column to a constant, the constant is converted to a time value before
performing the comparison.
This will make it easier to get ODBC (particularly Access97) to work with
the above types. It should also make dates easier to use and the comparisons
should be quicker than before.
query() in
mysqlperl to take a query with \0 in it.
YYMMDD) didn't work.
UPDATE
clause.
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE, which didn't correctly if the outfile already
existed.
mysql now shows the thread ID when starting or doing a reconnect.
--new, but it crashes core a lot yet...
isam library should be relatively 64-bit clean.
isamchk which can detect and fix more problems.
isamlog.
mysqladmin: you can now do mysqladmin kill 5,6,7,8 to kill
multiple threads.
-O backlog=# option to mysqld.
ALTER TABLE now returns warnings from field conversions.
ASCII().
BETWEEN(a,b,c). Use the standard ANSI
synax instead: expr BETWEEN expr AND expr.
SUM() functions.
tbl_name.field_name in UPDATE.
SELECT DISTINCT when using 'hidden group'. For example:
mysql> SELECT DISTINCT MOD(some_field,10) FROM test
GROUP BY some_field;
Note: some_field is normally in the SELECT part. ANSI SQL should
require it.
INTERVAL, EXPLAIN, READ,
WRITE, BINARY.
CHAR(num,...).
IN. This uses a binary search to find a match.
LOCK TABLES tbl_name [AS alias] {READ|WRITE} ...
--log-update option to mysqld, to get a log suitable for
incremental updates.
EXPLAIN SELECT ... to get information about how the
optimizer will do the join.
FIELD_TYPE_TINY_BLOB, FIELD_TYPE_MEDIUM_BLOB,
FIELD_TYPE_LONG_BLOB or FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING (as
previously returned by mysql_list_fields). You should instead only use
FIELD_TYPE_BLOB or FIELD_TYPE_STRING. If you want exact
types, you should use the command SHOW FIELDS.
0x###### which can be used as a string
(default) or a number.
FIELD_TYPE_CHAR is renamed to FIELD_TYPE_TINY.
DEFAULT values no longer need to be NOT NULL.
ENUM
SET
double or long long.
This will provide the full 64-bit range with bit functions and fix some
conversions that previously could result in precision losses. One should
avoid using unsigned long long columns with full 64-bit range
(numbers bigger than 9223372036854775807) because calculations are done
with signed long long.
ORDER BY will now put NULL field values first. GROUP BY
will also work with NULL values.
WHERE with expressions.
mysql> SELECT * FROM tbl_name
WHERE key_part_1="customer"
AND key_part_2>=10 AND key_part_2<=10;
Changes from 3.20.18 to 3.20.32b are not documented here since the 3.21 release branched here. And the relevant changes are also documented as changes to the 3.21 version.
-p# (remove # directories from path) to isamlog.
All files are written with a relative path from the database directory
Now mysqld shouldn't crash on shutdown when using the
--log-isam option.
mysqlperl version. It is now compatible with msqlperl-0.63.
DBD module available at http://www.mysql.com/Contrib
site.
STD() (standard deviation).
mysqld server is now compiled by default without debugging
information. This will make the daemon smaller and faster.
--basedir option to
mysqld. All other paths are relative in a normal installation.
BLOB columns sometimes contained garbage when used with a SELECT
on more than one table and ORDER BY.
GROUP BY work as expected
(ANSI SQL extension).
Example:
mysql> SELECT id,id+1 FROM table GROUP BY id;
MYSQL_PWD was reversed. Now MYSQL_PWD is
enabled as default in the default release.
mysqld to core dump with
Arithmetic error on Sparc-386.
--unbuffered option to mysql, for new mysqlaccess.
BLOB columns and the functions IS NULL and
IS NOT NULL in the WHERE clause.
max_allowed_packet is now 64K for
the server and 512K for the client. This is mainly used to catch
incorrect packets that could trash all memory. The server limit may be
changed when it is started.
safe_mysqld to check for running daemon.
ELT() function is renamed to FIELD(). The new
ELT() function returns a value based on an index: FIELD()
is the inverse of ELT() Example: ELT(2,"A","B","C") returns
"B". FIELD("B","A","B","C") returns 2.
COUNT(field), where field could have a NULL value, now
works.
SELECT ... GROUP BY.
WHERE with many unoptimizable brace levels.
get_hostname, only the IP is checked.
Previously, you got Access denied.
INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... WHERE could give the error
Duplicated field.
safe_mysqld to make it ``safer''.
LIKE was case sensitive in some places and case insensitive in others.
Now LIKE is always case insensitive.
'#' anywhere on the line.
SET OPTION SQL_SELECT_LIMIT=#. See the FAQ for more details.
mysqlaccess script.
FROM_DAYS() and WEEKDAY() to also take a full
TIMESTAMP or DATETIME as argument. Before they only took a
number of type YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD.
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(timestamp_column).
mysqld to work around a bug in MIT-pthreads. This makes multiple
small SELECT operations 20 times faster. Now lock_test.pl should
work.
mysql_FetchHash(handle) to mysqlperl.
mysqlbug script is now distributed built to allow for reporting
bugs that appear during the build with it.
getpwuid() instead of
cuserid().
SELECT optimizer when using many tables with the same
column used as key to different tables.
GRANT command to satisfy Powerbuilder.
packets out of order when using MIT-pthreads.

kill to mysqladmin to kill a specific
MySQL thread.
AUTO_INCREMENT key with ALTER_TABLE.
AVG() gave too small value on some SELECTs with
GROUP BY and ORDER BY.
DATETIME type (by Giovanni Maruzzelli
maruzz@matrice.it).

CREATE INDEX.
DATE, TIME and
TIMESTAMP.
OR of multiple tables (gave empty set).
DATE and TIME types.
SELECT with AND-OR levels.
LIMIT and ORDER BY.
ORDER BY and GROUP BY on items that aren't in the
SELECT list.
(Thanks to Wim Bonis bonis@kiss.de, for pointing this out.)
INSERT.
SELECT ... WHERE ... = NULL.
glibc 2.0. To get glibc to work, you should
add the `gibc-2.0-sigwait-patch' before compiling glibc.
ALTER TABLE when changing a NOT NULL field to
allow NULL values.
CREATE TABLE.
CREATE TABLE now allows FLOAT(4) and FLOAT(8) to mean
FLOAT and DOUBLE.
mysqlaccess by Yves.Carlier@rug.ac.be.
This program shows the access rights for a specific user and the grant
rows that determine this grant.
WHERE const op field (by bonis@kiss.de).
SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE, all temporary tables are ISAM
instead of HEAP to allow big dumps.
ALTER TABLE according to SQL92.
--port and --socket options to all utility programs and
mysqld.
readdir_r(). Now mysqladmin create database
and mysqladmin drop database should work.
tempnam(). This should fix the ``sort
aborted'' bug.
sql_update. This fixed slow updates
on first connection. (Thanks to Vaclav Bittner for the test.)
INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...
MEDIUMBLOB fixed.
ALTER TABLE and BLOBs.
SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE now creates the file in the current
database directory.
DROP TABLE now can take a list of tables.
DESCRIBE (DESC).
make_binary_distribution.
configure's
C++ link test.
--without-perl option to configure.
ALTER TABLE didn't copy null bit. As a result, fields that were allowed
to have NULL values were always NULL.
CREATE didn't take numbers as DEFAULT.
ALTER TABLE and multi-part keys.
ALTER TABLE, SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE and
LOAD DATA INFILE.
NOW().
mysql/user table.
add_file_priv which adds the new field file_priv
to the user table. This script must be executed if you want to
use the new SELECT ... INTO and LOAD DATA INFILE ... commands
with a version of MySQL earlier than 3.20.7.
lock_test.pl test fail.
status to mysqladmin for short logging.
-k option to mysqlshow, to get key information for a table.
mysqldump.
configure cannot find a -lpthreads
library.
program --help.
RAND([init]).
sql_lex to handle \0 unquoted, but the client can't send
the query through the C API, because it takes a str pointer.
You must use mysql_real_query() to send the query.
mysql_get_client_info().
mysqld now uses the N_MAX_KEY_LENGTH from `nisam.h' as
the maximum allowed key length.
mysql> SELECT filter_nr,filter_nr FROM filter ORDER BY filter_nr;Previously, this resulted in the error:
Column: 'filter_nr' in order clause is ambiguous.
mysql now outputs '\0', '\t', '\n' and '\\'
when encountering ASCII 0, tab, newline or '\' while writing
tab-separated output.
This is to allow printing of binary data in a portable format.
To get the old behavior, use -r (or --raw).
mysql_fetch_lengths(MYSQL_RES *), which
returns an array of of column lengths (of type uint).
IS NULL in WHERE clause.
SELECT option STRAIGHT_JOIN to tell the optimizer that
it should join tables in the given order.
'--' in `mysql.cc'
(Postgres syntax).
SELECT expressions and table columns in a SELECT
which are not used in the group part. This makes it efficient to implement
lookups. The column that is used should be a constant for each group because
the value is calculated only once for the first row that is found for a group.
mysql> SELECT id,lookup.text,sum(*) FROM test,lookup
WHERE test.id=lookup.id GROUP BY id;
SUM(function) (could cause a core dump).
AUTO_INCREMENT placement in the SQL query:
INSERT into table (auto_field) values (0);inserted 0, but it should insert an
AUTO_INCREMENT value.
mysql now allows doubled '' or "" within strings for
embedded ' or ".
EXP(), LOG(), SQRT(), ROUND(), CEILING().
configure source now compiles a thread-free client library
-lmysqlclient. This is the only library that needs to be linked
with client applications. When using the binary releases, you must
link with -lmysql -lmysys -ldbug -lstrings as before.
readline library from bash-2.0.
configure and makefiles (and related source).
VPATH. Tested with GNU Make 3.75.
safe_mysqld and mysql.server changed to be more compatible
between the source and the binary releases.
LIMIT now takes one or two numeric arguments.
If one argument is given, it indicates the maximum number of rows in
a result. If two arguments are given, the first argument indicates the offset
of the first row to return, the second is the maximum number of rows.
With this it's easy to do a poor man's next page/previous page WWW
application.
FIELDS() to ELT().
Changed SQL function INTERVALL() to INTERVAL().
SHOW COLUMNS a synonym for SHOW FIELDS.
Added compatibility syntax FRIEND KEY to CREATE TABLE. In
MySQL, this creates a non-unique key on the given columns.
CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX as compatibility functions.
In MySQL, CREATE INDEX only checks if the index exists and
issues an error if it doesn't exist. DROP INDEX always succeeds.
sql_acl (core on new connection).
host, user and db tables from database test
in the distribution.
FIELD_TYPE_CHAR can now be signed (-128 - 127) or unsigned (0 - 255)
Previously, it was always unsigned.
CONCAT() and WEEKDAY().
mysqld to be compiled with SunPro
compiler.
'(' immediately after the function name
(no intervening space).
For example, 'user(' is regarded as beginning a function call, and
'user (' is regarded as an identifier user followed by a
'(', not as a function call.
configure and Automake.
It will make porting much easier. The readline library is included
in the distribution.
DBD will follow when the new DBD code
is ported.
mysqld can now be started with Swedish
or English (default) error messages.
INSERT(), RTRIM(), LTRIM() and
FORMAT().
mysqldump now works correctly for all field types (even
AUTO_INCREMENT). The format for SHOW FIELDS FROM tbl_name
is changed so the Type column contains information suitable for
CREATE TABLE. In previous releases, some CREATE TABLE
information had to be patched when recreating tables.
BLOB and TIMESTAMP) are corrected.
TIMESTAMP now returns different date information depending on its
create length.
'_'.
DATABASE(), USER(), POW(),
LOG10() (needed for ODBC).
WHERE with an ORDER BY on fields from only one table,
the table is now preferred as first table in a multi-join.
HAVING and IS NULL or IS NOT NULL now works.
SUM(),
AVG()...) didn't work together. Fixed.
mysqldump: Didn't send password to server.
'Locked' to process list as info if a query is
locked by another query.
IF(arg,syntax_error,syntax_error) crashed.
CEILING(), ROUND(), EXP(), LOG() and SQRT().
BETWEEN to handle strings.
SELECT with grouping on BLOB columns not to return
incorrect BLOB info. Grouping, sorting and distinct on BLOB
columns will not yet work as
expected (probably it will group/sort by the first 7 characters in the
BLOB). Grouping on formulas with a fixed string size (use MID()
on a BLOB) should work.
BLOB
fields, the BLOB was garbage on output.
DISTINCT with calculated columns.
Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
