Problem: The "regex" library written by Henry Spencer
does not support tricky character sets like UCS2.
Fix: convert tricky character sets to UTF8 before calling
regex functions.
This actually, fix for the patch for bug-27354. The problem with
the patch was that Item_func_sp::used_tables() was updated, but
Item_func_sp::const_item() was not. So, for Item_func_sp, we had
the following inconsistency:
- used_tables() returned RAND_TABLE, which means that the item
can produce "random" results;
- but const_item() returned TRUE, which means that the item is
a constant one.
The fix is to change Item_func_sp::const_item() behaviour: it must
return TRUE (an item is a constant one) only if a stored function
is deterministic and each of its arguments (if any) is a constant
item.
Bug#28878: InnoDB tables with UTF8 character set and indexes cause wrong result for DML
When making key reference buffers over CHAR fields whitespace (0x20) must be used to fill in the remaining space in the field's buffer. This is what Field_string::store() does. Fixed Field_string::get_key_image() to do the same.
This is for bug #29446 "Specifying a myisam_sort_buffer > 4GB on 64 bit machines not possible". Support for myisam_sort_buffer_size > 4 GB on 64-bit Windows will be looked at later in 5.2.
The function str_to_date has a field to say whether it's invoked constant
arguments. But this member was not initialized, causing the function to
think that it could use a cache of the format type when said cache was in
fact not initialized.
Fixed by initializing the field to false.
and for bug #31070: crash during conversion of charsets
Problem: passing a 0 byte length string to some my_mb_wc_XXX()
functions leads to server crash due to improper argument check.
Fix: properly check arguments passed to my_mb_wc_XXX() functions.
The Item_func_rollup_const class is used for wrapping constants to avoid
wrong result for ROLLUP queries with DISTINCT and a constant in the select
list. This class is also used to wrap up a NULL constant but its null_value
wasn't set accordingly. This led to a server crash.
Now the null_value of an object of the Item_func_rollup_const class is set
by its fix_length_and_dec member function.
mysqldump adds the "-- Dump completed on YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" string
to the end of output if the --comments switch is on.
The only way to suppress this line is to use --skip-comments/--compact
switch.
New switch has been added to the mysqldump client command line:
--dump-date.
For the compatibility with previous releases, by default the --dump-date
is on.
The --dump-date switch forces mysqldump to add date to the
"-- Dump completed on ..." string at the end of output.
The --skip-dump-date switch supresses the output of date string
and uses short form of that commentary: "-- Dump completed".
--skip-comments or --compact switches disable the whole commentary
as usual.
Problem: some valid euc-kr characters were rejected because
condition checking multi-byte tail didn't allow
multi-byte characters having the second byte in the ranges
[0x41..0x5A] and [0x61..0x7A].
Fix: allow these byte ranges for mb tails
The NAME_CONST function is required to work correctly with constants only.
When executed with functions that return types other than those returned by
Item::field_type (string, int, decimal, or real), the result gets cast to
one of those types. This cannot happen for constants.
Fixed by only allowing constants as arguments to NAME_CONST.
When calculating the result length of an integer DIV function
the number of decimals was used without checking the result type
first. Thus an uninitialized number of decimals was used for some
types. This caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated
for the field's buffer and crashed the server.
Fixed by using the number of decimals only for data types that
can have decimals and thus have valid decimals number.
When expanding a * in a USING/NATURAL join the check for table access
for both tables in the join was done using the grant information of the
first one.
Fixed by getting the grant information for the current table while
iterating through the columns of the join.
When storing the VIEW the CREATE VIEW command is reconstructed
from the parse tree. While constructing the command string
the index hints specified should also be printed.
Fixed by adding code to print the index hints when printing a
table in the FROM clause.
type of the result.
There are several functions that accept parameters of different types.
The result field type of such functions was determined based on
the aggregated result type of its arguments. As the DATE and the DATETIME
types are represented by the STRING type, the result field type
of the affected functions was always STRING for DATE/DATETIME arguments.
The affected functions are COALESCE, IF, IFNULL, CASE, LEAST/GREATEST, CASE.
Now the affected functions aggregate the field types of their arguments rather
than their result types and return the result of aggregation as their result
field type.
The cached_field_type member variable is added to the number of classes to
hold the aggregated result field type.
The str_to_date() function's result field type now defaults to the
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME.
The agg_field_type() function is added. It aggregates field types with help
of the Field::field_type_merge() function.
The create_table_from_items() function now uses the
item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function to get the proper field
when the item is a function with a STRING result type.
