"INSERT... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE skips auto_increment values".
When in an INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, using
an autoincrement column, we inserted some autogenerated values and
also updated some rows, some autogenerated values were not used
(for example, even if 10 was the largest autoinc value in the table
at the start of the statement, 12 could be the first autogenerated
value inserted by the statement, instead of 11). One autogenerated
value was lost per updated row. Led to exhausting the range of the
autoincrement column faster.
Bug introduced by fix of BUG#20188; present since 5.0.24 and 5.1.12.
This bug breaks replication from a pre-5.0.24 master.
But the present bugfix, as it makes INSERT ON DUP KEY UPDATE
behave like pre-5.0.24, breaks replication from a [5.0.24,5.0.34]
master to a fixed (5.0.36) slave! To warn users against this when
they upgrade their slave, as agreed with the support team, we add
code for a fixed slave to detect that it is connected to a buggy
master in a situation (INSERT ON DUP KEY UPDATE into autoinc column)
likely to break replication, in which case it cannot replicate so
stops and prints a message to the slave's error log and to SHOW SLAVE
STATUS.
For 5.0.36->[5.0.24,5.0.34] replication we cannot warn as master
does not know the slave's version (but we always recommended to users
to have slave at least as new as master).
As agreed with support, I'll also ask for an alert to be put into
the MySQL Network Monitoring and Advisory Service.
invocations of LAST_INSERT_ID.
Reding of LAST_INSERT_ID inside stored function wasn't noted by caller,
and no LAST_INSERT_ID_EVENT was issued for binary log.
The solution is to add THD::last_insert_id_used_bin_log, which is much
like THD::last_insert_id_used, but is reset only for upper-level
statements. This new variable is used to issue LAST_INSERT_ID_EVENT.
Non-upper-level INSERTs (the ones in the body of stored procedure,
stored function, or trigger) into a table that have AUTO_INCREMENT
column didn't affected the result of LAST_INSERT_ID() on this level.
The problem was introduced with the fix of bug 6880, which in turn was
introduced with the fix of bug 3117, where current insert_id value was
remembered on the first call to LAST_INSERT_ID() (bug 3117) and was
returned from that function until it was reset before the next
_upper-level_ statement (bug 6880).
The fix for bug#21726 brings back the behaviour of version 4.0, and
implements the following: remember insert_id value at the beginning
of the statement or expression (which at that point equals to
the first insert_id value generated by the previous statement), and
return that remembered value from LAST_INSERT_ID() or @@LAST_INSERT_ID.
Thus, the value returned by LAST_INSERT_ID() is not affected by values
generated by current statement, nor by LAST_INSERT_ID(expr) calls in
this statement.
Version 5.1 does not have this bug (it was fixed by WL 3146).
To make MySQL compatible with some ODBC applications, you can find
the AUTO_INCREMENT value for the last inserted row with the following query:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE auto_col IS NULL.
This is done with a special code that replaces 'auto_col IS NULL' with
'auto_col = LAST_INSERT_ID'.
However this also resets the LAST_INSERT_ID to 0 as it uses it for a flag
so as to ensure that only the first SELECT ... WHERE auto_col IS NULL
after an INSERT has this special behaviour.
In order to avoid resetting the LAST_INSERT_ID a special flag is introduced
in the THD class. This flag is used to restrict the second and subsequent
SELECTs instead of LAST_INSERT_ID.
auto_increment breaks binlog":
if slave's table had a higher auto_increment counter than master's (even
though all rows of the two tables were identical), then in some cases,
REPLACE and INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE failed to replicate
statement-based (it inserted different values on slave from on master).
write_record() contained a "thd->next_insert_id=0" to force an adjustment
of thd->next_insert_id after the update or replacement. But it is this
assigment introduced indeterminism of the statement on the slave, thus
the bug. For ON DUPLICATE, we replace that assignment by a call to
handler::adjust_next_insert_id_after_explicit_value() which is deterministic
(does not depend on slave table's autoinc counter). For REPLACE, this
assignment can simply be removed (as REPLACE can't insert a number larger
than thd->next_insert_id).
We also move a too early restore_auto_increment() down to when we really know
that we can restore the value.
