Hi, Rucha! Looks great! Just one question below re. using global vs session old_behavior variable. On May 05, Rucha Deodhar wrote:

MDEV-8334: Rename utf8 to utf8mb3

This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default, so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.

when rebasing and pushing into 10.6 take care not to rollback C/C changes. That is, only update C/C submodule reference if it's earlier than your 03d983b287f8a1fe855cb5ed479a3f7ab4f922ab

if old_behavior is a session variable, then you should use session value here.

technically, you should use a session value here too. but see the old_conv array, it doesn't have "utf8" anywhere, so it doesn't matter what the flag is, you can use 0 there.

Hmm, here you do use a session value. So, I suppose your using global value above was not an oversight, but you intentionally did it. What were your reasons?

up to you, but wouldn't it be more convenient to pass the flag here? Then you can invoke it with thd->utf8_flag()

Why not a session value here?
