New program mysqlaccess.
CREATE now supports all ODBC types and
the mSQL TEXT type.
All ODBC 2.5 functions are also supported (added
REPEAT). This provides better
portability.
Added text types TINYTEXT,
TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT and
LONGTEXT. These are actually
BLOBtypes, but all searching is done in
case-insensitive fashion.
All old BLOB fields are now
TEXT fields. This only changes that all
searching on strings is done in case-sensitive fashion. You
must do an ALTER TABLE and change the
datatype to BLOB if you want to have
tests done in case-sensitive fashion.
Fixed some configure issues.
Made the locking code a bit safer. Fixed very unlikely deadlock situation.
Fixed a couple of bugs in the range optimizer. Now the new
range benchmark test-select works.
