D.2.20 Modifications de la version 3.22.7

  • Added LIMIT clause for the DELETE statement.
  • You can now use the /*! ... */ syntax to hide MySQL-specific 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 nom_table 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.
  • Upgraded libtool to get the configure more portable.
  • Fixed slow UPDATE and DELETE operations when using DATETIME or DATE keys.
  • Changed optimizer to make it better at deciding when to do a full join and when using keys.
  • You can now use mysqladmin proc to display information about your own threads. Only users with the Process_priv privilege can get information about all threads.
  • Added handling of formats YYMMDD, YYYYMMDD, YYMMDDHHMMSS for numbers when using DATETIME and TIMESTAMP types. (Formerly these formats only worked with strings.)
  • Added connect option CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE to allow use of spaces after function names and before `(' (Powerbuilder requires this). This will make all function names reserved words.
  • Added the --log-long-format option to mysqld to enable timestamps and INSERT_ID's in the update log.
  • Added --where option to mysqldump (patch by Jim Faucette).
  • The lexical analyzer now uses ``perfect hashing'' for faster parsing of SQL statements.
