While the manual mentions FRAC_SECOND only for the TIMESTAMPADD()
function, it was also possible to use FRAC_SECOND with DATE_ADD(),
DATE_SUB() and +/- INTERVAL.
Fixed the parser to match the manual, i.e. using FRAC_SECOND for
anything other than TIMESTAMPADD()/TIMESTAMPDIFF() now produces a
syntax error.
Additionally, the patch allows MICROSECOND to be used in TIMESTAMPADD/
TIMESTAMPDIFF and marks FRAC_SECOND as deprecated.
mysql_config --cflags gave a flag that forced the HP/UX
C++ compiler into C-mode; as a result, C++ sources could
not be compiled correctly.
We now filter out the offending flag (like we do for Sun)
so that --cflags will work for both C and C++.
If setting a system-variable provided by a plug-in failed, no OK or
error was sent in some cases, hanging the client. We now send an error
in the case from the ticket (integer-argument out of range in STRICT
mode). We also provide a semi-generic fallback message for possible
future cases like this where an error is signalled, but no message is
sent to the client. The error/warning handling is unified so it's the
same again for variables provided by plugins and those in the server
proper.
SQL-mode PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH affected mysqld's user-table too. If
enabled, user-name and host were space-padded and no longer matched
the login-data of incoming connexions.
Patch disregards pad-flag while loading privileges so ability to log
in does not depend on SQL-mode.
In BENCHMARK(count, expr), count could overflow/wrap-around.
Patch changes to a sufficiently large data-type. Adds a warning
for negative count values.
suite)
Under some circumstances a combination of aggregate functions and
GROUP BY in a SELECT query over a VIEW could lead to incorrect
calculation of the result type of the aggregate function. This in
turn could result in incorrect results, or assertion failures on debug
builds.
Fixed by changing the logic in Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() so that
the argument's item is dereferenced before calling its type() method.
The test case for the bug#31048 checks that there is no crash on stack
overrun. But due to different stack sizes on different platforms it failed
on some of them.
The new test case check that a query with at least 4 level subquery nesting
works without the stack overrun nesting and other levels of nesting doesn't
cause a crash.
floating point numbers
Some math functions did not check if the result is a valid number
(i.e. neither of +-inf or nan).
Fixed by validating the result where necessary and returning NULL in
case of invalid result.

Finding a routine should be a transparent operation as
far as the binary log is concerned.
But it was influencing the binary log because of the TIMESTAMP
column in the proc table.
Fixed by preserving and restoring the time_zone usage flag when
searching for a stored routine in the proc table.
Problem is not about intervals and doesn't actually cause 'full table scan'.
We have an optimization for DISTINCT when we have
'DISTINCT field_from_first_join_table' we don't need to read all the
rows from the JOIN-ed table if we found one conforming row.
It stopped working in 5.0 as we return NESTED_LOOP_OK if we came upon
that case in the evaluate_join_record() and that doesn't break the
recordreading loop in sub_select().
Fixed by returning NESTED_LOOP_NO_MORE_ROWS in this case.
when executed in version 5
Zero fill is a field attribute only. So we can't always
propagate constants for zerofill fields : the values and
expression results don't have that flag.
Fixed by converting the const value to a string and
using that in const propagation when the context allows it.
Disable const propagation for fields with ZEROFILL flag in
all the other cases.
