Xoror wist te melden dat het MySQL devteam een nieuwe versie van hun welbekende open source database heeft uitgebracht. Versie .41 bevat een aantal bugfixes en verder werd ondermeer support voor <4GB InnoDB rows toegevoegd. De source en binaires kun je neerhalen via deze link:
- Added option --sql-mode=option[,option[,option]]. See section 4.1.1 mysqld Command-line Options.
- Fixed possible problem with shutdown on Solaris where the .pid file wasn't deleted.
- InnoDB now supports < 4 GB rows. The former limit was 8000 bytes.
- The doublewrite file flush method is used in InnoDB. It reduces the need for Unix fsync calls to a fraction and improves performance on most Unix flavors.
- You can now use the InnoDB Monitor to print a lot of InnoDB state information, including locks, to the standard output; useful in performance tuning.
- Several bugs which could cause hangs in InnoDB have been fixed.
- Split record_buffer to record_buffer and record_rnd_buffer. To make things compatible to previous MySQL versions, if record_rnd_buffer is not set, then it takes the value of record_buffer.
- Fixed optimizing bug in ORDER BY where some ORDER BY parts where wrongly removed.
- Fixed overflow bug with ALTER TABLE and MERGE tables.
- Added prototypes for my_thread_init() and my_thread_end() to `mysql_com.h'
- Added option --safe-user-create to mysqld.
- Added options to the --ansi startup options to let the user decide which ansi options one to enable.
- Fixed bug in SELECT DISTINCT ... HAVING that casued error message Can't find record in '#...
