=========================
|
|
|
|
1. The testsuite "funcs_1" is mostly intended for additional (compared
|
|
to the common regression tests stored in mysql-test/t) checks
|
|
of features (VIEWS, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, STORED PROCEDURES,...)
|
|
introduced with MySQL 5.0.
|
|
|
|
2. There were some extensions of this suite when new information_schema
|
|
views were introduced. But in most cases the tests for these views
|
|
were stored within the regression testsuite (mysql-test/t).
|
|
|
|

3. Some hints for maintainers of this suite:
|
|
- SHOW TABLES ... LIKE '<pattern>'
|
|
does a case sensitive comparison between the tablename and
|
|
the pattern.
|
|
The names of the tables within the informationschema are in uppercase.
|
|
So please use something like
|
|
SHOW TABLES FOR information_schema LIKE 'TABLES'
|
|
when you intend to get the same non empty result set on OS with and
|
|
without case sensitive filesystems and default configuration.
|
|
- The name of the data dictionary is 'information_schema' (lowercase).
|
|
- Server on OS with filesystem with case sensitive filenames
|
|
(= The files 'abc' and 'Abc' can coexist.)
|
|
+ default configuration
|
|
Example of behaviour:
|
|
DROP DATABASE information_schema;
|
|
ERROR 42000: Access denied for user ... to database 'information_schema'
|
|
DROP DATABASE INFORMATION_SCHEMA;
|
|
ERROR 42000: Access denied for user ... to database 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA'
|
|
- Try to unify results by
|
|
--replace_result $engine_type <engine_to_be_tested>
|
|
if we could expect that the results for storage engine variants of a
|
|
test differ only in the engine names.
|
|
This makes future maintenance easier.
|
|
- Avoid the use of include/show_msg*.inc.
|
|
They produce "SQL" noise which annoys during server debugging and can be
|
|
easy replaced by "--echo ...".
