B.3.8. Changes in Release 3.23.52 (14 August 2002)

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.

  • Wrap BEGIN/COMMIT around transaction in the binary log. This makes replication honor transactions.

  • Fixed security bug when having an empty database name in the user.db table.

  • Changed initialization of RAND() to make it less predicatable.

  • Fixed problem with GROUP BY on result with expression that created a BLOB field.

  • Fixed problem with GROUP BY on columns that have NULL values. To solve this we now create an MyISAM temporary table when doing a GROUP BY on a possible NULL item. From MySQL 4.0.5 we can use in memory HEAP tables for this case.

  • Fixed problem with privilege tables when downgrading from 4.0.2 to 3.23.

  • Fixed thread bug in SLAVE START, SLAVE STOP and automatic repair of MyISAM tables that could cause table cache to be corrupted.

  • Fixed possible thread related key-cache-corruption problem with OPTIMIZE TABLE and REPAIR TABLE.

  • Added name of 'administrator command' logs.

  • Fixed bug with creating an auto-increment value on second part of a UNIQUE key where first part could contain NULL values.

  • Do not write slave-timeout reconnects to the error log.

  • Fixed bug with slave net read timeouting

  • Fixed a core-dump bug with MERGE tables and MAX() function.

  • Fixed bug in ALTER TABLE with BDB tables.

  • Fixed bug when logging LOAD DATA INFILE to binary log with no active database.

  • Fixed a bug in range optimizer (causing crashes).

  • Fixed possible problem in replication when doing DROP DATABASE on a database with InnoDB tables.

  • Fixed mysql_info() to return 0 for Duplicates value when using INSERT DELAYED IGNORE.

  • Added -DHAVE_BROKEN_REALPATH to the Mac OS X (darwin) compile options in configure.in to fix a failure under high load.
