This change set implements the DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS functionality.
This fix is considered a bug and not a feature, because without it,
there is no known method to write a database creation script that can create
a trigger without failing, when executed on a database that may or may not
contain already a trigger of the same name.
Implementing this functionality closes an orthogonality gap between triggers
and stored procedures / stored functions (which do support the DROP IF
EXISTS syntax).
In sql_trigger.cc, in mysql_create_or_drop_trigger,
the code has been reordered to:
- perform the tests that do not depend on the file system (access()),
- get the locks (wait_if_global_read_lock, LOCK_open)
- call access()
- perform the operation
- write to the binlog
- unlock (LOCK_open, start_waiting_global_read_lock)
This is to ensure that all the code that depends on the presence of the
trigger file is executed in the same critical section,
and prevents race conditions similar to the case fixed by Bug 14262 :
- thread 1 executes DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS, access() returns a failure
- thread 2 executes CREATE TRIGGER
- thread 2 logs CREATE TRIGGER
- thread 1 logs DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS

The following is an excerption from the WL.
1. Change so that MIXED is default format
1.1 to change the default for command line --binlog-format
1.2 to alter global_system_variables.binlog_format calculation
basing on command line --binlog-format parameter and
its default.
2. Change test suite so that more testing is done by MIXED format.
2.1 to check if there are test cases requiring --binlog-foramt=statement via
`source include/have_binlog_format_statement.inc' and affected by
altering the latter to be "mixed".
2.2 to check the content of such vulnerable cases to find if
extending to the mixed does not modify results. In that case simply
substitute source arguments as explained.
2.3 if a test in mixed mode deals with features triggering
row-binlogging then if necessary we can switch explicitly
to statement mode or create another test to run with
non-recommended STATEMENT mode
Particullarily, extracting INSERT DELAYED
binlogging subtest for statement mode is performed, and
the snippet is moved into a separate test file.
Note that since now all three modes verify this use case
through 3 different tests.
No changes in item 3 of HLD appeared to be needed.
can be not replicable.
Now CREATE statements for writing in the binlog are created as follows:
- the beginning of the statement is re-created;
- the rest of the statement is copied from the original query.
The problem appears when there is a version-specific comment (produced by
mysqldump), started in the re-created part of the statement and closed in the
copied part -- there is closing comment-parenthesis, but there is no opening
one.
The proper fix could be to re-create original statement, but we can not
implement it in 5.0. So, for 5.0 the fix is just to cut closing
comment-parenthesis. This technique is also used for SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE
statement (so we are able to reuse existing code).
The idea of the fix is to extend support of non-SUID triggers for backward
compatibility. Formerly non-SUID triggers were appeared when "new" server
is being started against "old" database. Now, they are also created when
"new" slave receives updates from "old" master.
This allows us to use statement replication with functions and triggers
The following things are fixed with this patch:
- NOW() and automatic timestamps takes the value from the main event for functions and triggers (which allows these to replicate with statement level logging)
- No side effects for triggers or functions with auto-increment values(), last_insert_id(), rand() or found_rows()
- Triggers can't return result sets
Fixes bugs:
#12480: NOW() is not constant in a trigger
#12481: Using NOW() in a stored function breaks statement based replication
#12482: Triggers has side effects with auto_increment values
#11587: trigger causes lost connection error
