I’m with Peter here - maybe one should also file a bug with MySQL to find out why they have done so before it is removed in MariaDB Server 10.2 ?
Nah, not this time. It was done by Dmitry Lenev in 2003 on his second month in MySQL AB. You can as well ask me or Bar :) (MySQL AB back then was probably smaller than MariaDB Corporation now, and everyone knew what everyone else is doing, so we should know)
And as far as I an concerned, I'm pretty sure it was implemented that way unintentionally. An omission, an easy mistake.
I knew you would know :-) In that case, +1 from me to get rid of it, and also file a bug upstream to say we are removing it and they should probably consider similarly for 5.8 (er, 8.0) cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi
