-
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.
