MySQL Reference Manual for version 4.0.18.
C.5.26 Changes in release 3.22.10
-
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 tbl_name SET col_name=value, col_name=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
statements 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. It allows easy
creation of 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.
