== New startup option <<fixed>>--connect-timeout<</fixed>>
MariaDB adds a new startup option to mysqltest:
<<fixed>>
--connect-timeout=//N//
<</fixed>>
This can be used to set the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter of
mysql_options, to change the number of seconds before an unsuccessful
connection attempt times out.
== New test commands for handling warnings during prepare statement
MariaDB adds two new commands for controlling which warnings are printed when
using the prepared statement protocol:
* <<fixed>>enable_prepare_warnings;<</fixed>>
* <<fixed>>disable_prepare_warnings;<</fixed>>
Normally, when running with the prepared statement protocol with warnings
enabled and executing a statement that returns a result set (like SELECT),
warnings that occur during the execute phase are shown, but warnings that occur
during the prepare phase are ''not'' shown. The reason for this is that some
warnings are returned both during prepare and execute; if both copies of
warnings were shown, then test cases would show different number of warnings
between prepared statement execution and normal execution (where there is no
prepare phase).
The <<fixed>>enable_prepare_warnings<</fixed>> command changes this so that
warnings from both the prepare and execute phase are shown, regardless of
whether the statement produces a result set in the execute phase. The
<<fixed>>disable_prepare_warnings<</fixed>> command reverts to the default
behaviour.
These commands only have effect when running with the prepared statement
protocol (--ps-protocol) //and// with warnings enabled
(enable_warnings). Furthermore, they only have effects for statements that
return a result set (as for statements without result sets, warnings from are
always shown when warnings are enabled).
