Re-work best_access_path() and find_best() to reuse E(#rows(range access)) as
E(#rows(ref[_or_null](const) access) only when it is appropriate.
[This is the final cumulative patch]
Correct a bug (that I introduced, after using Oracle's database software for
too many years) where the length of the database-sent data is incorrectly
used to infer NULLness.
"alter table from MyISAM to MERGE lost data without errors and warnings"
Add new handlerton flag which prevent user from altering table storage
engine to storage engines which would lose data. Both 'blackhole' and
'merge' are marked with the new flag.
Tests included.
Binlog lacks encoding info about DROPped temporary table.
Idea of the fix is to switch temporary to system_charset_info when a temporary table
is DROPped for binlog. Since that is the server, that automatically, but not the client, who generates the query
the binlog should be updated on the server's encoding for the coming DROP.
The `write_binlog_with_system_charset()' is introduced to replace similar problematic places in the code.
When converting DISTINCT to GROUP BY where the columns are from the covering
index and they are quoted twice in the SELECT list the optimizer is creating
improper processing sequence. This is because of the fact that the columns
of the covering index are not recognized as such and treated as non-index
columns.
Generally speaking duplicate columns can safely be removed from the GROUP
BY/DISTINCT list because this will not add or remove new rows in the
resulting set. Duplicates can be removed even if they are not consecutive
(as is the case for ORDER BY, where the duplicate columns can be removed
only if they are consecutive).
So we can safely transform "SELECT DISTINCT a,a FROM ... ORDER BY a" to
"SELECT a,a FROM ... GROUP BY a ORDER BY a" instead of
"SELECT a,a FROM .. GROUP BY a,a ORDER BY a". We can even transform
"SELECT DISTINCT a,b,a FROM ... ORDER BY a,b" to
"SELECT a,b,a FROM ... GROUP BY a,b ORDER BY a,b".
The fix to this bug consists of checking for duplicate columns in the SELECT
list when constructing the GROUP BY list in transforming DISTINCT to GROUP
BY and skipping the ones that are already in.
or implicitly uses stored function gives "Table not locked" error'
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ... statement which was explicitly or implicitly
(through view) using stored function gave "Table not locked" error.
The actual bug resides in the current locking scheme of CREATE TABLE SELECT
code, which first opens and locks tables of the SELECT statement itself,
and then, having SELECT tables locked, creates the .FRM, opens the .FRM and
acquires lock on it. This scheme opens a possibility for a deadlock, which
was present and ignored since version 3.23 or earlier. This scheme also
conflicts with the invariant of the prelocking algorithm -- no table can
be open and locked while there are tables locked in prelocked mode.
The patch makes an exception for this invariant when doing CREATE TABLE ...
SELECT, thus extending the possibility of a deadlock to the prelocked mode.
We can't supply a better fix in 5.0.
Bug #19606: ssl variables are not displayed in show variables
Bug #19616: log_queries_not_using_indexes is not listed in show variables
Make basedir, datadir, tmpdir, log_queries_not_using_indexes, ssl_ca,
ssl_capath, ssl_cert, ssl_cipher, and ssl_key all available both from
SHOW VARIABLES and as @@variables.
As a side-effect of this change, log_queries_not_using_indexes can
be changed at runtime (but only globally, not per-connection).
A query with a group by and having clauses could return a wrong
result set if the having condition contained a constant conjunct
evaluated to FALSE.
It happened because the pushdown condition for table with
grouping columns lost its constant conjuncts.
Pushdown conditions are always built by the function make_cond_for_table
that ignores constant conjuncts. This is apparently not correct when
constant false conjuncts are present.
The bug was as follows: When merge_key_fields() encounters "t.key=X OR t.key=Y" it will
try to join them into ref_or_null access via "t.key=X OR NULL". In order to make this
inference it checks if Y<=>NULL, ignoring the fact that value of Y may be not yet known.
The fix is that the check if Y<=>NULL is made only if value of Y is known (i.e. it is a
constant).
TODO: When merging to 5.0, replace used_tables() with const_item() everywhere in merge_key_fields().
The reason of the bug is in that `get_var_with_binlog' performs missed
assingment of
the variables as side-effect. Doing that it eventually calls
`free_underlaid_joins' to pass as an argument `thd->lex->select_lex' of the lex
which belongs to the user query, not
to one which is emulated i.e SET @var1:=NULL.
`get_var_with_binlog' is refined to supply a temporary lex to sql_set_variables's stack.
