If you want have support for InnoDB tables, you should edit the

@item

You will need GNU @code{autoconf 2.13}, @code{automake 1.4},

You will need GNU @code{autoconf 2.52}, @code{automake 1.4},

@code{libtool}, and @code{m4} to run the next set of commands.

If you are using the 3.23 tree the new versions of @code{autoconf}

(2.52) and @code{automake} (1.5) will not work.

@code{automake} (1.5) doesn't yet work.

If you get some strange error during this stage, check that you really

have @code{libtool} installed!

@itemize @bullet

@item

Use @code{ORDER BY column DESC} now always sorts @code{NULL} values

first; In 3.23 this was not always consistent.

@item

@code{SHOW INDEX} has 2 columns more (@code{Null} and @code{Index_type})

than it had in 3.23.

@item

+-----------+---------------+

@end example

Note that two @code{NULL} are compared as equal is when you do an

@code{GROUP BY}.

In MySQL, 0 or @code{NULL} means false and anything else means true.

The default truth value from a boolean operation is 1.

When doing an @code{ORDER BY}, @code{NULL} values are always sorted first,

even if you are using @code{DESC}.

This special treatment of @code{NULL} is why, in the previous section, it

was necessary to determine which animals are no longer alive using

@code{death IS NOT NULL} instead of @code{death <> NULL}.

@end example

@code{Field} indicates the column name, @code{Type} is the data type for

the column, @code{Null} indicates whether or not the column can contain

the column, @code{NULL} indicates whether or not the column can contain

@code{NULL} values, @code{Key} indicates whether or not the column is

indexed, and @code{Default} specifies the column's default value.

shell> mysql < batch-file

@end example

If you are running @code{mysql} under windows and have some special

characters in the file that causes problems, you can do:

@example

dos> mysql -e "source batch-file"

@end example

If you need to specify connection parameters on the command line, the

command might look like this:

When you use @code{mysql} this way, you are creating a script file, then

executing the script.

If you want the script to continue even if you have errors, you should

use the @code{--force} command line option.

Why use a script?  Here are a few reasons:

@itemize @bullet

@code{mysql -t}.  To echo to the output the commands that are executed, use

@code{mysql -vvv}.

You can also use scripts in the @code{mysql} command line prompt by

using the @code{source} command:

@example

mysql> source filename

@end example

clause, if one is given.  If the user already had a password, it is replaced

by the new one.

Optional @code{PASSWORD} changes behaviour of @code{IDENTIFIED BY} from

accepting plain password to accept encrypted password as argument.

If you don't want to send the password in clear text you can use the

@code{PASSWORD} option followed by a scrambled password from SQL

function @code{PASSWORD()} or the C API function

@code{make_scrambled_password(char *to, const char *password)}.

@strong{Warning:} If you create a new user but do not specify an

@code{IDENTIFIED BY} clause, the user has no password.  This is insecure.

@item

The used table index is an index type that doesn't store rows in order.

(Like index in @code{HEAP} tables).

(Like the @code{HASH} index in @code{HEAP} tables).

@item

The index colum may contain @code{NULL} values and one is using

@code{ORDER BY ... DESC}.  This is because in SQL @code{NULL} values is

always sorted before normal values, independent of you are using

@code{DESC} or not.

@end itemize

Note that if such a query uses @code{LIMIT} to only retrieve

part of the rows, MySQL will use an index anyway, as it can

much more quickly find the few rows to return in the result.

@item

If the index range may contain @code{NULL} values and you are using

@code{ORDER BY ... DESC}
