-
mysql_install_db no longer starts the MySQL server! You
should start mysqld with safe_mysqld after installing it! The
MySQL RPM will however start the server as before.
-
Added
--bootstrap option to mysqld and recoded
mysql_install_db to use it. This will make it easier to install
MySQL with RPMs.
-
Changed
+, - (sign and minus), *, /, %,
ABS() and MOD() to be BIGINT aware (64-bit safe).
-
Fixed a bug in
ALTER TABLE that caused mysqld to crash.
-
MySQL now always reports the conflicting key values when a
duplicate key entry occurs. (Before this was only reported for
INSERT).
-
New syntax:
INSERT INTO nom_table SET nom_colonne=value,nom_colonne=value,...
-
Most errors in the `.err' log are now prefixed with a time stamp.
-
Added option
MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND to mysql_options() to make
a query on connect or reconnect.
-
Added option
MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE and
MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP to mysql_options() to read the
following parameters from the MySQL option files: port, socket,
compress, password, pipe, timeout, user, init-command, host and
database.
-
Added
maybe_null to the UDF structure.
-
Added option
IGNORE to INSERT statemants with many rows.
-
Fixed some problems with sorting of the koi8 character sets; Users of koi8
MUST run
isamchk -rq on each table that has an index on
a CHAR or VARCHAR column.
-
New script
mysql_setpermission, by Luuk de Boer, allows one
to easily create new users with permissions for specific databases.
-
Allow use of hexadecimal strings (0x...) when specifying a constant string
(like in the column separators with
LOAD DATA INFILE).
-
Ported to OS/2 (thanks to Antony T. Curtis antony.curtis@olcs.net).
-
Added more variables to
SHOW STATUS and changed format of output to
be like SHOW VARIABLES.
-
Added
extended-status command to mysqladmin which will show the
new status variables.
