Consider the following query:
SELECT f_1,..,f_m, AGGREGATE_FN(C)
FROM t1
WHERE ...
GROUP BY ...
Loose index scan ("Using index for group-by") can be used for
this query if there is an index 'i' covering all fields in the
select list, and the GROUP BY clause makes up a prefix f1,...,fn
of 'i'. Furthermore, according to rule NGA2 of
get_best_group_min_max(), the WHERE clause must contain a
conjunction of equality predicates for all fields fn+1,...,fm.
The problem in this bug was that a query with WHERE clause that
broke NGA2 was not detected and therefore used loose index scan.
This lead to wrong result. The query had an index
covering (c1,c2) and had:
"WHERE (c1 = 1 AND c2 = 'a') OR (c1 = 2 AND c2 = 'b')
GROUP BY c1"
or
"WHERE (c1 = 1 ) OR (c1 = 2 AND c2 = 'b')
GROUP BY c1"
This WHERE clause cannot be transformed to a conjunction of
equality predicates.
The solution is to introduce another rule, NGA3, that complements
NGA2. NGA3 says that if a gap field (field between those
listed in GROUP BY and C in the index) has a predicate, then
there can only be one range in the query. This requirement is
more strict than it has to be in theory. BUG 15947433 will deal
with that.
Problem:-
In case of blob data field, UNION ALL doesn't give correct result.
Analysis:-
In MyISAM table, when we dont want to check for the distinct for particular
key, we set the key_map to zero.
While writing record in MyISAM table, we check the distinct with the help
of keys, by checking whether that key is active in key_map and then writing
the record.
In case of blob field, we are checking for distinct by unique constraint,
where we are not checking whether that unique key is active or not in key_map.
Solution:-
Before checking for distinct, check whether any key is active in key_map.
WITH AN ASSERTION
Recently we added check to handle kill query signal for long operating
queries.
While the query interruption is reported it must to ensure cursor is restore
to proper state for HANDLER interface to work correctly.
Normal select query will not face this problem, as on recieving interrupt,
select query is aborted and new select query result in re-initialization
(including cursor).

Analysis:
--------
REPLACE operation provides incorrect output when
user variable is supplied as an argument and there
are multiple rows on which the operation is performed.
Consider the example below:
SET @var='(( 00000000 ++ 00000000 ))';
SELECT REPLACE(@var, '00000000', table_name) AS a FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='mysql';
Invalid output:
+---------------------------------------+
| REPLACE(@var, '00000000', TABLE_NAME) |
+---------------------------------------+
| (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv )) |
| (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv )) |
......
......
| (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv )) |
| (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv )) |
| (( columns_priv ++ columns_priv )) |
+---------------------------------------+
The user argument supplied as the string to REPLACE
operation is overwritten after the first iteration
to '(( columns_priv ++ columns_priv ))'.
The overwritten string after the first iteration
is used for the subsequent REPLACE iteration. Since
the pattern string is not found, it returns invalid
output as mentioned above.
Fix:
---
If the Alloced_length is zero, realloc() and create a
copy of the string which is then used for the REPLACE
operation for every iteration.
INCLUDES FIRST PARTITION WHEN PRUNING
PROBLEM
-------
TO_DAYS()/TO_SECONDS() can return NULL for invalid dates which
was stored in the first partition ,therefore the first partition
was always included for the scan when range was specified.
FIX
---
The fix is a small optimization which we have included ,which will
prune the scanning of NULL/first partition if the dates specified
in the range are valid and in the same year and month . TO_SECONDS()
function is not supported in 5.1 so removed it from the fix and test
scripts for mysql-5.1 version.
AVAILABLE MEMORY IS TOO LOW
Analysis:
---------
In function "mysql_make_view", "table->view" is initialized
after parsing(using File_parser::parse) the view definition.
If "::parse" function fails then control is moved to label
"err:". Here we have assert (table->view == thd->lex).
This assert fails if "::parse" function fails, as
table->view is not initialized yet.
File_parser::parse fails if data being parsed is incorrect/
corrupted or when memory allocation fails. In this scenario
its failing because of failure in memory allocation.
Fix:
---------
In case of failure in function "File_parser::parse", moving
to label "err:" is incorrect. Modified code to move
to label "end:".

I_MAIN.CTYPE_UTF8 FOR MACOSX10.6 FOR 5.1
While converting directory name to filename, a
file separator (FN_LIBCHAR) might get appended
to the resulting file name. This can result in
off-by-one error when length of the input string
is equal to FN_REFLEN. In this case, the terminating
'\0' gets written beyond the buffer allocated to store
the result.
Fixed by incrementing the dst buffer size by 1. As
extra safety, switched to strnmov() and added a debug
assert to check the length of the input file name.
No test case added as the scenario is already
covered by the test cases added for bugs in
the description.
Problem:If Disk becomes full while writing into the binlog,
then the server instance hangs till someone frees the space.
After user frees up the disk space, mysql server crashes
with an assert (m_status != DA_EMPTY)
Analysis: wait_for_free_space is being called in an
infinite loop i.e., server instance will hang until
someone frees up the space. So there is no need to
set status bit in diagnostic area.
Fix: Replace my_error/my_printf_error with
sql_print_warning() which prints the warning in error log.
Details of BUG#11746142: CALLING MYSQLD WHILE ANOTHER

Fix: Before removing the pid file, ensure it was created
by the same process, leave it intact otherwise.
Some shell interpreters do not support '-e' test
primary to construct conditions.
man test 1 (on S10)
...skip...
-e file True if file exists. (Not available in sh.)
...skip...
Hence, check for the existence of a file using
'-e' might result in a syntax error on such
shell programs.
Fixed by replacing it by '-f'.
DOS ATTACKS
Problem:
For detailed description, see Bug#42502. This bug is a duplicate
of Bug#42502. The complete fix for Bug#42502 was not made as
proposed. Hence the bug still persists.
Fix:
Make the changes as proposed originally for the bugfix of 42502.
Which is to remove the allocation of the memory before we actually
check for any errors.
TO SIGNED
Problem:
When we are joining types (of fields) in case of a union, we usually
upgrade the datatypes to the largest present in the query.
In case of mediumint, it is not happening.
Analysis:
When joined with types LONG and LONGLONG, mediumint should get
upgraded to LONG and LONGLONG respectively.
W.r.t the given query, constant '1' will be created as a LONGLONG
internally and SIGNED flag is enabled. As a result, while combining
types for the field, LONGLONG along with MEDIUMINT gets converted
to LONG first. LONG with MEDIUMINT(of the third select) gets converted
to MEDIUMINT. SIGNED FLAG would be that of the first field's.
As a result, the final result would be SIGNED MEDIUMINT.
Fix:
While joining types, MEDIUMINT with LONGLONG and MEDIUMINT with LONG
is converted to LONGLONG and LONG respectively. Also, made some
changes for FLOAT and DOUBLE.
Analysis:
When thread cache is enabled, it does not properly initialize
thd->start_utime when a thread is picked from the thread cache.
This breaks the quota management mechanism.
THD::time_out_user_resource_limits() resets
m_user_connect->conn_per_hour to 0 based on thd->start_utime
Fix:
Initialize start_utime when cached thread is reused.
Notes:
Enabled back tests which were disabled because of this issue.

IN QUERY CACHE CODE
DESCRIPTION:
MySQL Server crashes sporadically when Query Caching is on and
the server has high contention among clients.
ANALYSIS :
Scenario 1:
In Query_cache::move_by_type() when handling RESULT or its related blocks,
Write Lock is acquired on its parent Query block. However the next and prev
pointers are cached in local variables before lock acquisition. In an extremely
high contention scenario there exists a possibility that
Query_cache::append_result_data() is operating on the same query block
and as a consequence might append a new Result block to the end of Result
blocks Linked List of the Query. This would manipulate the next, prev pointers
of the Block being processed in move_by_type(), however the local pointers
still point to previous nodes there by causing Data Corruption leading to crash.
FIX :
Scenario 1:
The next, prev pointers are now accessed only after Lock acquisition in
Query_cache::move_by_type().
SAME VERSION NUMBER 1.0.17
Now that InnoDB/InnoDB Plugin is no longer separately developed and
distributed from the MySQL server it does not need its own version number.
Thus use the MySQL version instead.
"Removing" the version altogether is not feasible because the config
variable 'innodb_version' cannot be removed in GA branches.

When decompressing a compressed page that had already been accessed

File names with colon are being disallowed because of the Alternate Data
Stream (ADS) feature of NTFS that could be misused. ADS allows data to be
written to alternate streams of a normal file. The data in alternate
streams cannot be seen by normal tools on Windows (explorer, cmd.exe). As
a result someone can use this feature to hide large amount of data in
alternate streams and admins will have no easy way of figuring out the
files that are using that disk space. The fix also disallows ADS in the
scenarios where file name is passed as some dynamic variable.
An important thing about the fix is that it DOES NOT disallow ADS file
names if they are not dynamic (i.e. if the file is created by using some
option that needs local access to the MySQL server, for example error log
file). The reasoning is that if some MySQL option related to files
requires access to the local machine (it is not dynamic), then user can very
well create data in ADS by some other means. This fixes only those scenarios
which can allow users to create data in ADS over the wire.
File names with colon are being disallowed only on Windows. UNIX
(Linux in particular) supports NTFS, but it will not be a common
scenario for someone to configure a NTFS file system to store MySQL
data on Linux.
Changes in file bug11761752-master.opt are needed due to
bug number 15937938.
The error code returned from Merge file/Temp file creation functions are

DOPROCESSREPLY()
Description: Function DoProcessReply() calls function

by Sawtooth to resolve the issue.
ROBUST AGAINST BUGS IN CALLERS".
Both MDL subsystems and Table Definition Cache code assume
that callers ensure that names of objects passed to them are
not longer than NAME_LEN bytes. Unfortunately due to bugs in
callers this assumption might be broken in some cases. As
result we get nasty bugs causing buffer overruns when we
construct MDL key or TDC key from object names.
This patch makes TDC code more robust against such bugs by
ensuring that we always checking size of result buffer when
constructing TDC keys. This doesn't free its callers from
ensuring that both db and table names are shorter than
NAME_LEN bytes. But at least this steps prevents buffer
overruns in case of bug in caller, replacing them with less
harmful behavior.
This is 5.1-only version of patch.
This patch introduces new version of create_table_def_key()
helper function which constructs TDC key without risk of
result buffer overrun. Places in code that construct TDC keys
were changed to use this function.
Also changed rm_temporary_table() and open_new_frm() functions
to avoid use of "unsafe" strmov() and strxmov() functions and
use safer strnxmov() instead.
Problem:
Before the ALTER TABLE statement, the array
dict_index_t::stat_n_diff_key_vals had proper values calculated
and updated. But after the ALTER TABLE statement, all the values
of this array is 0.
Because of this statistics returned by innodb_rec_per_key() is
different before and after the ALTER TABLE statement. Running the
ANALYZE TABLE command populates the statistics correctly.
Solution:
After ALTER TABLE statement, set the flag dict_table_t::stat_initialized
correctly so that the table statistics will be recalculated properly when
the table is next loaded. But note that we still don't choose the loose
index scans. This fix only ensures that an ALTER TABLE does not change
the optimizer plan.

The file named "mysql-test/include/get_binlog_dump_thread_id.inc" is not
used anywhere. In any case, this file does wrong things in the wrong way:
1) The file seems to assume there is only one dump thread, but there may
be many.
2) you can get this information in a much easier way using the command:
"select thread_id from threads where processlist_command="Binlog Dump";"

Using too long table aliases in stored routines might
have caused server crashes.
Code in sp_head::merge_table_list() which is responsible
for collecting information about tables used in stored
routine was not aware of the fact that table alias might
have arbitrary length. I.e. it assumed that table alias
can't be longer than NAME_LEN bytes and allocated buffer
for a key identifying table accordingly.
This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that we use
dynamically allocated buffer for table key when table
alias is too long. By default stack based buffer is used
in which NAME_LEN bytes are reserved for table alias.

=== Problem ===
The test is dependent on binlog positions and checks
to see if the command 'START SLAVE' functions correctly
with the 'UNTIL' clause added to it. The 'UNTIL' clause
is added to specify that the slave should start and run
until the SQL thread reaches a given point in the master
binary log or in the slave relay log.
The test uses hard coded values for MASTER_LOG_POS and
RELAY_LOG_POS, instead of extracting it using
query_get_value() function. There is a test
'rpl.rpl_row_until' which does the similar thing but uses
query_get_value() function to set the values of
MASTER_LOG_POS/ RELAY_LOG_POS. To be precise,
rpl.rpl_row_until is a modified version of
engines/func.rpl_row_until.test.
The use of hard coded values may lead the slave to stop at a position
which may differ from the expected position in the binlog file,
an example being the failure of engines/funcs.rpl_row_until in
mysql-5.1 given as:
"query 'select * from t2' failed. Table 'test.t2' doesn't exist".
In this case, the slave actually ran a couple of extra commands
as a result of which the slave first deleted the table and then
ran a select query on table, leading to the above mentioned failure.
=== Fix ===
1) Fixed the code for failure seen in rpl.rpl_row_until.
This test was also failing although the symptoms of
failure were different.
2) Copied the contents from rpl.rpl_row_until into
into engines/funcs.rpl.rpl_row_until.
3) Updated engines/funcs.rpl_row_until.result accordingly.
