5.2.18. Changes in MySQL 5.1.14 (05 December 2006)

Functionality added or changed:

  • Cluster Replication: Incompatible Change: Two major changes have taken place with regard to the MySQL Cluster system tables. These are:

    1. The cluster database is no longer used. The tables formerly found in the cluster database are now in the mysql database, and have been renamed as ndb_binlog_index, ndb_apply_status, and ndb_schema.

    2. The mysql.ndb_apply_status and mysql.ndb_schema tables (formerly cluster.apply_status and cluster.schema are now created by ndb_restore, in the event that they do not already exist on the slave cluster.

    Note

    When upgrading from versions of MySQL previous to 5.1.14 to 5.1.14 or later, mysql_fix_privilege_tables merely creates a new mysql.ndb_binlog_index table, but does not remove the existing cluster database (or, if upgrading from MySQL 5.1.7 or earlier, the existing cluster_replication database), nor any of the tables in it.

    For more information, see MySQL Cluster Replication Schema and Tables. (Bug#14612)

  • Cluster Replication: Incompatible Change: The cluster database is no longer used. The tables formerly found in the cluster database are now in the mysql database, and have been renamed as ndb_binlog_index, ndb_apply_status, and ndb_schema.

  • Incompatible Change: The prepared_stmt_count system variable has been converted to the Prepared_stmt_count global status variable (viewable with the SHOW GLOBAL STATUS statement). (Bug#23159)

  • Incompatible Change: Previously, you could create a user-defined function (UDF) or stored function with the same name as a built-in function, but could not invoke the UDF. Now an error occurs if you try to create such a UDF. The server also now generates a warning if you create a stored function with the same name as a built-in function. It is not considered an error to create a stored function with the same name as a built-in function because you can invoke the function using db_name.func_name() syntax. However, the server now generates a warning in this case.

    See Function Name Parsing and Resolution, for the rules describing how the server interprets references to different kinds of functions. (Bug#22619, Bug#18239)
