The problem is that creating a event could fail if the value of
the variable server_id didn't fit in the originator column of
the event system table. The cause is two-fold: it was possible
to set server_id to a value outside the documented range (from
0 to 2^32-1) and the originator column of the event table didn't
have enough room for values in this range.
The log tables (general_log and slow_log) also don't have a proper
column type to store the server_id and having a large server_id
value could prevent queries from being logged.
The solution is to ensure that all system tables that store the
server_id value have a proper column type (int unsigned) and that
the variable can't be set to a value that is not within the range.
The problem is that when upgrading the event table, the sql_mode
column was always being added instead of being updated to list new
sql_mode values, causing upgrades of the event which already have
a sql_mode column to not be updated to the new sql_mode values.
The solution is to always add first a stub sql_mode column and
subsequently update the column to the new sql_mode values.
The problem is that one can not create a stored routine if sql_mode
contains NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION or PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. Also when
a event is created, the mode is silently lost if sql_mode contains one
of the aforementioned. This was happening because the table definitions
which stored sql_mode values weren't being updated to accept new values
of sql_mode.
The solution is to update, in a backwards compatible manner, the various
table definitions (columns) that store the sql_mode value to take into
account the new possible values. One incompatible change is that if a event
that is being created can't be stored to the mysql.event table, an error
will be raised.
The tests case also ensure that new SQL modes will be added to the mysql.proc
and mysql.event tables, otherwise the tests will fail.
The problem was that the RETURNS column in the mysql.proc was of
CHAR(64). That was not enough for storing long-named datatypes.
The fix is to change CHAR(64) to LONGBLOB, and to throw warnings
at the time a stored routine is created if some data is truncated
during writing into mysql.proc.
- BUG#11986: Stored routines and triggers can fail if the code
has a non-ascii symbol
- BUG#16291: mysqldump corrupts string-constants with non-ascii-chars
- BUG#19443: INFORMATION_SCHEMA does not support charsets properly
- BUG#21249: Character set of SP-var can be ignored
- BUG#25212: Character set of string constant is ignored (stored routines)
- BUG#25221: Character set of string constant is ignored (triggers)
There were a few general problems that caused these bugs:
1. Character set information of the original (definition) query for views,
triggers, stored routines and events was lost.
2. mysqldump output query in client character set, which can be
inappropriate to encode definition-query.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA used strings with mixed encodings to display object
definition;
1. No query-definition-character set.
In order to compile query into execution code, some extra data (such as
environment variables or the database character set) is used. The problem
here was that this context was not preserved. So, on the next load it can
differ from the original one, thus the result will be different.
The context contains the following data:
- client character set;
- connection collation (character set and collation);
- collation of the owner database;
The fix is to store this context and use it each time we parse (compile)
and execute the object (stored routine, trigger, ...).
2. Wrong mysqldump-output.
The original query can contain several encodings (by means of character set
introducers). The problem here was that we tried to convert original query
to the mysqldump-client character set.
Moreover, we stored queries in different character sets for different
objects (views, for one, used UTF8, triggers used original character set).
The solution is
- to store definition queries in the original character set;
- to change SHOW CREATE statement to output definition query in the
binary character set (i.e. without any conversion);
- introduce SHOW CREATE TRIGGER statement;
- to dump special statements to switch the context to the original one
before dumping and restore it afterwards.
Note, in order to preserve the database collation at the creation time,
additional ALTER DATABASE might be used (to temporary switch the database
collation back to the original value). In this case, ALTER DATABASE
privilege will be required. This is a backward-incompatible change.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA showed non-UTF8 strings
The fix is to generate UTF8-query during the parsing, store it in the object
and show it in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
Basically, the idea is to create a copy of the original query convert it to
UTF8. Character set introducers are removed and all text literals are
converted to UTF8.
This UTF8 query is intended to provide user-readable output. It must not be
used to recreate the object. Specialized SHOW CREATE statements should be
used for this.
The reason for this limitation is the following: the original query can
contain symbols from several character sets (by means of character set
introducers).
Example:
- original query:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT _cp1251 'Hello' AS c1;
- UTF8 query (for INFORMATION_SCHEMA):
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT 'Hello' AS c1;
- Add test for upgrading from 5.1.17 - it's a beta but anyway
good to have a check oif upgrading new system tables for 5.1
- Always put the "originator" column after "comment" to get correct
order of columns in "events" table
Add "two liner" to mysqld --bootstrap that allows
wo write scripts that can be run both by mysql and mysqld --bootstrap
Remove duplicate create of MySQL system tables
This patch changes test to remove Windows-specific limitations and potential
rounding errors in the calculation of a UDF.
Also corrects a minor merge conflict.
- Fix error message to say that "mysql_upgrade" should be run when
a particular error message is found to be missing
- Dont's set default value on blob's - it will not be used anyway.
