Ensure that references in HAVING, ORDER BY or GROUP BY are calculated after fields in SELECT.
This will ensure that any reference to these has a valid value.
Generalized the code for split_sum_func()
Bug#7834 Illegal mix of collations in IN operator
IN was the first function supporting
character set convertion.
agg_arg_charsets() was written afterwards,
which is more flexible.
Now IN just reuses this function.
not default_charset_into. It fixes the
problem that in some cases numbers where
treated as CHAR(N), not as BINARY(N), e.g.
wrong 'charsetnr' when sent to the client side.
2. IFNULL didn't aggregate argument charsets
and collations, so IFNULL(1,'a') produced
a CHAR(N). Now produces a BINARY(N).
3. SELECT PROCEDURE ANALIZE now returns
BINARY columns, which is much better than it worked
previously: CHAR with the default character set.
But in the future it's worth to fix the fields
'Field_name' and 'Optimal_fieldtype' to use UTF8,
and 'Min_value' and 'Max_value' to inherit their charsets
from the original items. But it is not important,
and BINARY(N) is OK for now.
4. Tests were fixed accordingly. No new tests were
made, as the old onces cover everything.
Added test cases for bug #7351.
item_cmpfunc.cc:
Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a
subquery returning empty set.
If in the predicate v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond)
v is null, then the result of the predicate is either
INKNOWN or FALSE. It is FALSE if the subquery returns
an empty set.
item_subselect.cc:
Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a
subquery returning empty set.
The problem was due to not a quite legal transformation
for 'IN' subqueries. A subquery containing a predicate
of the form
v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond)
was transformed into
EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (a=v OR a IS NULL)).
Yet, this transformation is valid only if v is not null.
If v is null, then, in the case when
(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond) returns an empty set the value
of the predicate is FALSE, otherwise the result of the
predicate is INKNOWN.
The fix resolves this problem by changing the result
of the transformation to
EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (v IS NULL OR (a=v OR a IS NULL)))
in the case when v is nullable.
The new transformation prevents applying the lookup
optimization for IN subqueries. To make it still
applicable we have to introduce guarded access methods.
* Added Item_ref::set_properties
* Item_ref::Item_ref now expects to get in *item either
NULL - then fix_fields() will be called later or
ptr to Item it will refer to - then an equivalent of fix_fields() call is performed
The problem in 4.1 was the same as in 4.0 - fix_fields() not called for created Item_ref.
The fix is similar too - initialize Item_refs in ctor (but don't interfere with cases when
Item_ref is used by subselects).
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
Added auto-correct of field length for enum/set tables for ALTER TABLE
This is becasue of a bug in previous MySQL 4.1 versions where the length for enum/set was set incorrectly after ALTER TABLE
- A new flag MY_CS_CSSORT was introduced for case sensitivity.
- Item_func_regexp doesn't substiture ICASE not only
for binary collations but for case sensitive collations as well.
Now thd->mem_root is a pointer to thd->main_mem_root and THR_MALLOC is a pointer to thd->mem_root.
This gives us the following benefits:
- Allow us to easily detect if arena has already been swapped before (this fixes a bug in setup_conds() where arena was swaped twice in some cases)
- Faster swaps of arenas (as we don't have to copy the whole MEM_ROOT)
- We don't anymore have to call my_pthread_setspecific_ptr(THR_MALLOC,...) to change where memory is alloced. Now it's enough to set thd->mem_root
Added a case for bug #6365.
item_cmpfunc.cc:
Fixed bug #6365 : Server crashed when list of values
in IN predicate contains NULL while the tested field is
of the character type and not of the default set;
e.g. when f in 'f IN (NULL,'aa') belongs to binary
character set, while the default character set is latin1.
FOUND is not a reserved keyword anymore
Added Item_field::set_no_const_sub() to be able to mark fields that can't be substituted
Added 'simple_select' method to be able to quickly determinate if a select_result is a normal SELECT
Note that the 5.0 tree is not yet up to date: Sanja will have to fix multi-update-locks for this merge to be complete
