Anoniem: 30372 bracht ons als eerste op de hoogte van het nieuws dat het MySQL development team vandaag een verse release van MySQL heeft uitgebracht. Het aantal wijzigingen is volgens de changelog slechts drie, maar de InnoDB versie die bij MySQL 3.23.48-Max wordt geleverd onderging wel een groot aantal veranderingen:
MySQL changes in release 3.23.48:
- Fixed bug in complicated join with const tables.
- Added internal safety checks for InnoDB.
- SHOW GRANTS now shows REFERENCES instead of REFERENCE.
MySQL/InnoDB-3.23.48, February 9, 2002
- Tuned the SQL optimizer to favor more often index searches over table scans.
- Fixed a performance problem when several large SELECT queries are run concurrently on a multiprocessor Linux computer. Large CPU-bound SELECT queries will now also generally run faster on all platforms.
- If MySQL binlogging is used, InnoDB now prints after crash recovery the latest MySQL binlog name and the offset InnoDB was able to recover to. This is useful, for example, when resynchronizing a master and a slave database in replication.
- Added better error messages to help in installation problems.
- One can now recover also MySQL temporary tables which have become orphaned inside the InnoDB tablespace.
- InnoDB now prevents a FOREIGN KEY declaration where the signedness is not the same in the referencing and referenced integer columns.
- Fixed a bug: calling SHOW CREATE TABLE or SHOW TABLE STATUS could cause memory corruption and make mysqld to crash. Especially at risk was mysqldump, because it calls frequently SHOW CREATE TABLE.
- Fixed a bug: if on Unix you did an ALTER TABLE to an InnoDB table and simultaneously did queries to it, mysqld could crash with an assertion failure in row0row.c, line 474.
- Fixed a bug: if inserts to several tables containing an auto-inc column were wrapped inside one LOCK TABLES, InnoDB asserted in lock0lock.c.
- In 3.23.47 we allowed several NULLS in a UNIQUE secondary index. But CHECK TABLE was not relaxed: it reports the table as corrupt. CHECK TABLE no longer complains in this situation.
- Fixed a bug: on Sparc and other high-endian processors SHOW VARIABLES showed innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit and other boolean-valued startup parameters always OFF even if they were switched on.
