WARNING: INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!!
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.
-
Allow
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!)
-
Changed Makefiles to hopefully work better with BSD systems. Also,
`manual.dvi' is now included in the distribution to avoid having stupid
make programs trying to rebuild it.
-
readline library upgraded to version 2.1.
-
A new sortorder german-1. That is a normal ISO-Latin1 with a german sort
order.
-
Perl
DBI/DBD is now included in the distribution. DBI
is now the recommended way to connect to MySQL from Perl.
-
New portable benchmark suite with
DBD, with test results from
mSQL 2.0.3, MySQL, PostgreSQL 6.2.1 and Solid server 2.2.
-
crash-me is now included with the benchmarks; This is a Perl program
designed to find as many limits as possible in a SQL server. Tested with
mSQL, PostgreSQL, Solid and MySQL.
-
Fixed bug in range-optimizer that crashed MySQL on some queries.
-
Table and column name completion for
mysql command line tool, by Zeev
Suraski and Andi Gutmans.
-
Added new command
REPLACE that works like INSERT but
replaces conflicting records with the new record. REPLACE INTO
TABLE ... SELECT ... works also.
-
Added new commands
CREATE DATABASE nom_base_de_donnees and DROP
DATABASE nom_base_de_donnees.
-
Added
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.
-
Changed
net_write() to my_net_write() because of a name
conflict with Sybase.
-
New function
DAYOFWEEK() compatible with ODBC.
-
Stack checking and
bison memory overrun checking to make MySQL
safer with weird queries.
