In the tokenizer we will now recognize the character set names of MariaDB and return a specific token for those. However, where a character set name is not expected, it will automatically be treated as an identifier. Note that when the character set name is explicitly specified for a literal string, the name must be prefixed with an underscore. That is, if the character set name is "latin1", when used when specifying a literal string, it's used as "_latin1 'a'". Note that this does not fix the sqlite3 bug causing a leak, but since the statement will now correctly be parsed, the leak will not manifest itself.
MaxScale by MariaDB Corporation
The MariaDB Corporation MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules, a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of the various servers within the backend cluster of databases.
MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to support different protocols and routing decisions.
For a detailed overview of what MaxScale can do, read the MaxScale page on the MariaDB website.
An Google Group exists for MaxScale that can be used to discuss ideas, issues and communicate with the MaxScale community.
We're also on the #maria and #maxscale channels on FreeNode.
Please report all feature requests, improvements and bugs in the MariaDB Jira.
