End of Product Lifecycle. Active development and support for MySQL Database Server versions 3.23, 4.0, and 4.1 has ended. For details, see http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/lifecycle/#calendar. Please consider upgrading to a recent version. Further updates to the content of this manual will be minimal. All formats of this manual will continue to be available until 31 Dec 2010.
Fixed bug where
GRANT/REVOKE
failed if host name was given in nonmatching case.
Do not give warning in
LOAD DATA
INFILE when setting a
timestamp to a string value
of '0'.
Fixed bug in myisamchk -R mode.
Fixed bug in ORDER BY when there is a
constant in the SELECT
statement.
One didn't get an error message if mysqld couldn't open the privilege tables.
SET PASSWORD FOR ... closed the connection
in case of errors (bug from 4.0.3).
Increased maximum possible
max_allowed_packet in
mysqld to 1GB.
Fixed bug when doing a multiple-row
INSERT on a table with an
AUTO_INCREMENT key which was not in the
first part of the key.
Changed LOAD DATA
INFILE to not re-create index if the table had rows
from before.
Fixed overrun bug when calling
AES_DECRYPT() with incorrect
arguments.
--skip-ssl can
now be used to disable SSL in the MySQL clients, even if one
is using other SSL options in an option file or previously on
the command line.
Fixed bug in MATCH ... AGAINST( ... IN BOOLEAN
MODE) used with ORDER BY.
Added LOCK TABLES and
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES
privilege on the database level. You must run the
mysql_fix_privilege_tables script on old
installations to activate these.
In SHOW TABLE ... STATUS, compressed tables
sometimes showed up as dynamic.
SELECT
@@[global|session].
didn't report var_nameglobal | session in the
result column name.
Fixed problem in replication that
FLUSH LOGS in
a circular replication setup created an infinite number of
binary log files. Now a rotate-binary-log
command in the binary log does not cause slaves to rotate
logs.
Removed STOP EVENT from binary log when
doing FLUSH
LOGS.
Disable the use of SHOW NEW MASTER FOR
SLAVE as this needs to be completely reworked in a
future release.
Fixed a bug with constant expression (for example, column of a
one-row table, or column from a table, referenced by a
UNIQUE key) appeared in ORDER
BY part of
SELECT
DISTINCT.
--log-bin=a.b.c now properly
strips off .b.c.
FLUSH LOGS
removed numerical extension for all future update logs.
GRANT ... REQUIRE didn't store the SSL
information in the mysql.user table if SSL
was not enabled in the server.
GRANT ... REQUIRE NONE can now be used to
remove SSL information.
AND is now optional between
REQUIRE options.
REQUIRE option was not properly saved,
which could cause strange output in SHOW
GRANTS.
Fixed that mysqld --help reports correct
values for --datadir and
--bind-address.
Fixed that one can drop UDFs that didn't exist when mysqld was started.
Fixed core dump problem with SHOW
VARIABLES on some 64-bit systems (like Solaris
SPARC).
Fixed a bug in my_getopt();
--set-variable syntax didn't work for those
options that didn't have a valid variable in the
my_option struct. This affected at least
the default-table-type option.
Fixed a bug from 4.0.2 that caused REPAIR
TABLE and myisamchk --recover to
fail on tables with duplicates in a unique key.
Fixed a bug from 4.0.3 in calculating the default data type
for some functions. This affected queries of type
CREATE TABLE
tbl_name
SELECT expression(),...
Fixed bug in queries of type SELECT * FROM table-list
GROUP BY ... and SELECT DISTINCT * FROM
....
Fixed bug with the
--log-slow-queries option when
logging an administrator command (like
FLUSH
TABLES).
Fixed a bug that OPTIMIZE TABLE
of locked and modified table, reported table corruption.
Fixed a bug in my_getopt() in handling of
special prefixes (--skip-,
--enable-).
--skip-external-locking didn't
work and the bug may have affected other similar options.
Fixed bug in checking for output file name of the
tee option.
Added some more optimization to use index for SELECT
... FROM many_tables .. ORDER BY key limit #
Fixed problem in SHOW OPEN
TABLES when a user didn't have access permissions to
one of the opened tables.
