when the column is to be read from a derived table column which
was specified as a concatenation of string literals.
The bug happened because the Item_string::append did not adjust the
value of Item_string::max_length. As a result of it the temporary
table column defined to store the concatenation of literals was
not wide enough to hold the whole value.
When the SUBSTRING() function was used over a LONGTEXT field the max_length of
the SUBSTRING() result was wrongly calculated and set to 0. As the max_length
parameter is used while tmp field creation it limits the length of the result
field and leads to printing an empty string instead of the correct result.
Now the Item_func_substr::fix_length_and_dec() function correctly calculates
the max_length parameter.
construct references invalid name.
Derived tables currently cannot use outer references.
Thus there is no outer context for them.
The 4.1 code takes this fact into account while the
Item_field::fix_outer_field code of 5.0 lost the check that blocks
any attempts to resolve names in outer context for derived tables.

For built-in functions like sqrt() function names are hard-coded and can be
compared by pointer. But this isn't the case for a used-defined stored

Now the Item_func::eq() function employs my_strcasecmp() function to compare
used-defined stored functions names.

During optimization stage the WHERE conditions can be changed or even

Now if all elements of an Item_cond were removed this Item_cond is substituted

If there were conditions that were totally optimized away then values of the

fixes).
The legend: on a replication slave, in case a trigger creation
was filtered out because of application of replicate-do-table/
replicate-ignore-table rule, the parsed definition of a trigger was not
cleaned up properly. LEX::sphead member was left around and leaked
memory. Until the actual implementation of support of
replicate-ignore-table rules for triggers by the patch for Bug 24478 it
was never the case that "case SQLCOM_CREATE_TRIGGER"
was not executed once a trigger was parsed,
so the deletion of lex->sphead there worked and the memory did not leak.
The fix:
The real cause of the bug is that there is no 1 or 2 places where
we can clean up the main LEX after parse. And the reason we
can not have just one or two places where we clean up the LEX is
asymmetric behaviour of MYSQLparse in case of success or error.
One of the root causes of this behaviour is the code in Item::Item()
constructor. There, a newly created item adds itself to THD::free_list
- a single-linked list of Items used in a statement. Yuck. This code
is unaware that we may have more than one statement active at a time,
and always assumes that the free_list of the current statement is
located in THD::free_list. One day we need to be able to explicitly
allocate an item in a given Query_arena.
Thus, when parsing a definition of a stored procedure, like
CREATE PROCEDURE p1() BEGIN SELECT a FROM t1; SELECT b FROM t1; END;
we actually need to reset THD::mem_root, THD::free_list and THD::lex
to parse the nested procedure statement (SELECT *).
The actual reset and restore is implemented in semantic actions
attached to sp_proc_stmt grammar rule.
The problem is that in case of a parsing error inside a nested statement
Bison generated parser would abort immediately, without executing the
restore part of the semantic action. This would leave THD in an
in-the-middle-of-parsing state.
This is why we couldn't have had a single place where we clean up the LEX
after MYSQLparse - in case of an error we needed to do a clean up
immediately, in case of success a clean up could have been delayed.
This left the door open for a memory leak.
One of the following possibilities were considered when working on a fix:
- patch the replication logic to do the clean up. Rejected
as breaks module borders, replication code should not need to know the
gory details of clean up procedure after CREATE TRIGGER.
- wrap MYSQLparse with a function that would do a clean up.
Rejected as ideally we should fix the problem when it happens, not
adjust for it outside of the problematic code.
- make sure MYSQLparse cleans up after itself by invoking the clean up
functionality in the appropriate places before return. Implemented in
this patch.
- use %destructor rule for sp_proc_stmt to restore THD - cleaner
than the prevoius approach, but rejected
because needs a careful analysis of the side effects, and this patch is
for 5.0, and long term we need to use the next alternative anyway
- make sure that sp_proc_stmt doesn't juggle with THD - this is a
large work that will affect many modules.
Cleanup: move main_lex and main_mem_root from Statement to its
only two descendants Prepared_statement and THD. This ensures that
when a Statement instance was created for purposes of statement backup,
we do not involve LEX constructor/destructor, which is fairly expensive.
In order to track that the transformation produces equivalent
functionality please check the respective constructors and destructors
of Statement, Prepared_statement and THD - these members were
used only there.
This cleanup is unrelated to the patch.
Functions over sum functions wasn't set up correctly for the ORDER BY clause
which leads to a wrong order of the result set.
The split_sum_func() function is called now for each ORDER BY item that
contains a sum function to set it up correctly.

This fix resolves a long standing issue originally reported with bug 8407,
which affect the behavior of Stored Procedures, Stored Functions and Trigger
in many different ways, causing symptoms reported by all the bugs listed.
In all cases, the root cause of the problem traces back to 8407 and how the
server locks tables involved with sub statements.
Prior to this fix, the implementation of stored routines would:
- compute the transitive closure of all the tables referenced by a top level
statement
- open and lock all the tables involved
- execute the top level statement
"transitive closure of tables" means collecting:
- all the tables,
- all the stored functions,
- all the views,
- all the table triggers
- all the stored procedures
involved, and recursively inspect these objects definition to find more
references to more objects, until the list of every object referenced does
not grow any more.
This mechanism is known as "pre-locking" tables before execution.
The motivation for locking all the tables (possibly) used at once is to
prevent dead locks.
One problem with this approach is that, if the execution path the code
really takes during runtime does not use a given table, and if the table is
missing, the server would not execute the statement.
This in particular has a major impact on triggers, since a missing table
referenced by an update/delete trigger would prevent an insert trigger to run.
Another problem is that stored routines might define SQL exception handlers
to deal with missing tables, but the server implementation would never give
user code a chance to execute this logic, since the routine is never
executed when a missing table cause the pre-locking code to fail.
With this fix, the internal implementation of the pre-locking code has been
relaxed of some constraints, so that failure to open a table does not
necessarily prevent execution of a stored routine.
In particular, the pre-locking mechanism is now behaving as follows:
1) the first step, to compute the transitive closure of all the tables
possibly referenced by a statement, is unchanged.
2) the next step, which is to open all the tables involved, only attempts
to open the tables added by the pre-locking code, but silently fails without
reporting any error or invoking any exception handler is the table is not
present. This is achieved by trapping internal errors with
Prelock_error_handler
3) the locking step only locks tables that were successfully opened.
4) when executing sub statements, the list of tables used by each statements
is evaluated as before. The tables needed by the sub statement are expected
to be already opened and locked. Statement referencing tables that were not
opened in step 2) will fail to find the table in the open list, and only at
this point will execution of the user code fail.
5) when a runtime exception is raised at 4), the instruction continuation
destination (the next instruction to execute in case of SQL continue
handlers) is evaluated.
This is achieved with sp_instr::exec_open_and_lock_tables()
6) if a user exception handler is present in the stored routine, that
handler is invoked as usual, so that ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE exceptions can be
trapped by stored routines. If no handler exists, then the runtime execution
will fail as expected.
With all these changes, a side effect is that view security is impacted, in
two different ways.
First, a view defined as "select stored_function()", where the stored
function references a table that may not exist, is considered valid.
The rationale is that, because the stored function might trap exceptions
during execution and still return a valid result, there is no way to decide
when the view is created if a missing table really cause the view to be invalid.
Secondly, testing for existence of tables is now done later during
execution. View security, which consist of trapping errors and return a
generic ER_VIEW_INVALID (to prevent disclosing information) was only
implemented at very specific phases covering *opening* tables, but not
covering the runtime execution. Because of this existing limitation,
errors that were previously trapped and converted into ER_VIEW_INVALID are
not trapped, causing table names to be reported to the user.
This change is exposing an existing problem, which is independent and will
be resolved separately.
The flag alias_name_used was not set on for the outer references
in subqueries. It resulted in replacement of any outer reference
resolved against an alias for a full field name when the frm
representation of a view with a subquery was generated.
If the subquery and the outer query referenced the same table in
their from lists this replacement effectively changed the meaning
of the view and led to wrong results for selects from this view.
Modified several functions to ensure setting the right value of
the alias_name_used flag for outer references resolved against
aliases.
When the ORDER BY clause gets fixed it's allowed to search in the current
item_list in order to find aliased fields and expressions. This is ok for a
SELECT but wrong for an UPDATE statement. If the ORDER BY clause will
contain a non-existing field which is mentioned in the UPDATE set list
then the server will crash due to using of non-existing (0x0) field.
When an Item_field is getting fixed it's allowed to search item list for
aliased expressions and fields only for selects.
Several problems here :
1. The conversion to double of an hex string const item
was not taking into account the unsigned flag.
2. IN was not behaving in the same was way as comparisons
when performed over an INT/DATE/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP column
and a constant. The ordinary comparisons in that case
convert the constant to an INTEGER value and do int
comparisons. Fixed the IN to do the same.
3. IN is not taking into account the unsigned flag when
calculating <expr> IN (<int_const1>, <int_const2>, ...).
Extended the implementation of IN to store and process
the unsigned flag for its arguments.
If we compare two items A and B, with B being (a constant) of a
larger type, then A gets promoted to B's type for comparison if
it's a constant, function, or CAST() column, but B gets demoted
to A's type if A is a (not explicitly CAST()) column. This is
counter-intuitive and not mandated by the standard.
Disabling optimisation where it would be lossy so field value
will properly get promoted and compared as binary string (rather
than as integers).
