Benefits of this patch: - Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string - Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of accidently changing a string - Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer) - More uniform code - Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed - Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers, access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions) - Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*) Changes: - This caused some ABI changes - lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING - Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char* - Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING - handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING - Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several errors in old code. - A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to parsing and events. - Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING* - Some changes for char* to const char* - Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf() - Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify code - Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name. - select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.* - removed not used function Item::rename() - Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison - Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc - Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char * - Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse() - Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was set when it shouldn't - ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments. - Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already give the error. TODO: - Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c - Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name (as part of lower_case_table_names)
MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariadB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at: http://mariadb.org/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-features/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
