numbers into char fields" and bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of
exponent between Unix and Windows"
Rewrote the code that determines what 'precision' argument should be
passed to sprintf() to fit the string representation of the input number
into the field.
We get finer control over conversion by pre-calculating the exponent, so
we are able to determine which conversion format, 'e' or 'f', will be
used by sprintf().
We also remove the leading zero from the exponent on Windows to make it
compatible with the sprintf() output on other platforms.
PS-protocol data is stored in different format - the MYSQL_RECORDS->data
contains the link to the record content, not to array of the links to
the field's contents. So we have to handle it separately for
embedded-server query cache.
Bug#31030 rpl000015.test fails if $MYSQL_TCP_PORT != 3306
Note:
This bug does not occur in MySQL 5.0 and up, because
ChangeSet 1.2328.2.1 2006/11/27 for MySQL 5.0 prevents this.
The 5.0 fix uses the environment variable DEFAULT_MASTER_PORT
which is set by mysql-test-run.pl.
mysql-test-run.pl in 4.1 does not set this variable.
There are two alternatives:
1) Backport the 5.0 fix for this test including modifications
to mysql-test-run.pl and mysql-test-run-shell.
This is a not acceptable impact on an old MySQL version.
2) Fix the problem different than in 5.0 like in the current
ChangeSet + do not apply these changes when upmerging to 5.0
1. A bad error message was given when a MERGE table with an
InnoDB child table was tried to use.
2. After selecting from a correct MERGE table and then altering
one of the children to InnoDB, incorrect results were returned.
These bugs have been fixed with the patch for bug 26379 (Combination
of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE corrupts a MERGE table).
For verification, I added the test case from the bug report.
The problem was that THD::killed was reset after a command was
read from the socket, but before it was actually handled. That lead
to a race: if another KILL statement was issued for this connection
in the middle of reading from the socket and processing a command,
THD::killed state would be cleaned.
The fix is to move this cleanup into net_send_error() function.
A sample test case exists in binlog_killed.test:
- connection 1: start a new transaction on table t1;
- connection 2: send query to the server (w/o waiting for the
result) to update data in table t1 -- this query will be blocked
since there is unfinished transaction;
- connection 1: kill query in connection 2 and finish the transaction;
- connection 2: get result of the previous query -- it should be
the "query-killed" error.
This test however contains race condition, which can not be fixed
with the current protocol: there is no way to guarantee, that the
server will receive and start processing the query in connection 2
(which is intended to get blocked) before the KILL command (sent in
the connection 1) will arrive. In other words, there is no way to
ensure that the following sequence will not happen:
- connection 1: start a new transaction on table t1;
- connection 1: kill query in connection 2 and finish the transaction;
- connection 2: send query to the server (w/o waiting for the
result) to update data in table t1 -- this query will be blocked
since there is unfinished transaction;
- connection 2: get result of the previous query -- the query will
succeed.
So, there is no test case for this bug, since it's impossible
to write a reliable test case under the current circumstances.
filesort() uses file->estimate_rows_upper_bound() call to allocate
internal buffers. If this function returns a value smaller than
a number of row that will be returned later in find_all_keys(),
that can cause server crash.
Fixed by implementing ha_federated::estimate_rows_upper_bound() to
return maximum possible number of rows.
Present estimation for FEDERATED always returns 0 if the linked to the VIEW.
Parser rejects valid INTERVAL() expressions when associated with
arithmetic operators. The problem is the way in which the expression
and interval grammar rules were organized caused shift/reduce conflicts.
The solution is to tweak the interval rules to avoid shift/reduce
conflicts by removing the broken interval_expr rule and explicitly
specify it's content where necessary.

The following clarification should be made in The Manual:
Standard SQL is quite clear that, if new columns are added
to a table after a view on that table is created with
"select *", the new columns will not become part of the view.
In all cases, the view definition (view structure) is frozen
at CREATE time, so changes to the underlying tables do not
affect the view structure.
Default values of variables were not subject to upper/lower bounds
and step, while setting variables was. Bounds and step are also
applied to defaults now; defaults are corrected quietly, values
given by the user are corrected, and a correction-warning is thrown
as needed. Lastly, very large values could wrap around, starting
from 0 again. They are bounded at the maximum value for the
respective data-type now if no lower maximum is specified in the
variable's definition.
Fix is to remove any references to the current hostname when running
mysql_install_db --cross-bootstrap. (The dist-hook make target makes
this call, and the resulting data directory is included in the source
distribution as win/data/*.)
Also, a few other clean-ups to mysql_install_db while there.
