Hi Serg, Please review a patch for MDEV-8092. Thanks. Perhaps something interesting, about #3 in the task description. I added a debug output and collected some statistics for "mtr --suite=main", to check how these changes can potentially affect another task: MDEV-7954 my_strcasecmp_utf8() takes 0.19% in OLTP RO Here are the results: my_strcasecmp_utf8() is now called 18,709,905 times total during "mtr --suite=main" 9,200,498 of those are called to compare Field/Create_field names in Column_name::eq_name(). And 3,855,751 calls of my_strcasecmp_utf8() are now optimized away, because eq_name() immediately return "false" if the two name lengths are different. So before this change there were 18,709,905 + 3,855,751 = 22,565,656 calls of my_strcasecmp_utf8(). Looks roughly like 17% improvement in name comparison.
