MySQL Manual | D.6.26 Changes in release 3.21.10

New program mysqlaccess.
CREATE now supports all ODBC types and the mSQL TEXT type. All ODBC 2.5 functions are also supported (added REPEAT). This provides better portability.
Added text types TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT. These are actually BLOBtypes, but all searching is done in case-insensitive fashion.
All old BLOB fields are now TEXT fields. This only changes that all searching on strings is done in case-sensitive fashion. You must do an ALTER TABLE and change the datatype to BLOB if you want to have tests done in case-sensitive fashion.
Fixed some configure issues.
Made the locking code a bit safer. Fixed very unlikely deadlock situation.
Fixed a couple of bugs in the range optimiser. Now the new range benchmark test-select works.
