GNU Info (mysql.info)News-3.20.0Changes in release 3.20.0 ------------------------- * The source distribution is done with `configure' and Automake. It will make porting much easier. The `readline' library is included in the distribution. * Separate client compilation: the client code should be very easy to compile on systems which don't have threads. * The old Perl interface code is automatically compiled and installed. Automatic compiling of `DBD' will follow when the new `DBD' code is ported. * Dynamic language support: `mysqld' can now be started with Swedish or English (default) error messages. * New functions: `INSERT()', `RTRIM()', `LTRIM()' and `FORMAT()'. * `mysqldump' now works correctly for all field types (even `AUTO_INCREMENT'). The format for `SHOW FIELDS FROM tbl_name' is changed so the `Type' column contains information suitable for `CREATE TABLE'. In previous releases, some `CREATE TABLE' information had to be patched when re-creating tables. * Some parser bugs from 3.19.5 (`BLOB' and `TIMESTAMP') are corrected. `TIMESTAMP' now returns different date information depending on its create length. * Changed parser to allow a database, table or field name to start with a number or `'_''. * All old C code from Unireg changed to C++ and cleaned up. This makes the daemon a little smaller and easier to understand. * A lot of small bug fixes done. * New `INSTALL' files (not final version) and some information regarding porting. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
