of untouched rows in full table scans".
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE/LOCK IN SHARE MODE statements as well as
UPDATE/DELETE statements which were executed using full table
scan were not releasing locks on rows which didn't satisfy
WHERE condition.
This bug surfaced in 5.0 and affected NDB tables. (InnoDB tables
intentionally don't support such unlocking in default mode).
This problem occured because code implementing join didn't call
handler::unlock_row() for rows which didn't satisfy part of condition
attached to this particular table/level of nested loop. So we solve
the problem adding this call.
Note that we already had this call in place in 4.1 but it was lost
(actually not quite correctly placed) when we have introduced nested
joins.
Also note that additional QA should be requested once this patch is
pushed as interaction between handler::unlock_row() and many recent
MySQL features such as subqueries, unions, views is not tested enough.
ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good
character in some locales. This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in
ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from being used. Now if
0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an
error.
Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This
solution should serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with
',' in their enums), but WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE
WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/ That is, mysqldump with their current
server, and restore when upgrading to one with this patch.
According to some internal communication, these two functions are place
holders for future enhancements. Because they use a variable number of
parameters, the implementation defined a reserved keyword for them in the
parser grammar.
Unfortunately, doing so creates a bug similar to Bug 21114 reported for the
function FORMAT.
In the 5.1 code base, due to improvements in the code implemented with bug
21114, having a reserved keyword for functions with a variable number of
arguments is not needed any more by the implementation.
As a result, this fix removes the place-holder implementation, and removes
the unnecessary reserved keywords. Should the functions UNIQUE_USERS and
GROUP_UNIQUE_USERS be finally implemented in a later release, the
implementation should sub class Create_native_func in sql/item_create.cc.
For example, see the class Create_func_concat.
aliases ignored
When a column reference to a column in JOIN USING is resolved and a new
Item is created for this column the user defined name was lost.
This fix preserves the alias by setting the name of the new Item to the
original alias.
