When asking what database is selected, client expected
to *always* get an answer from the server.
We now handle failure more gracefully.
See comments in ticket for a discussion of what happens,
and how things interlock.
mysql-client used static buffer to concatenate server-
version and version_comment. Sufficiently long comments
could get cut off. This was harmless, but looked daft.
Now using a dynamic buffer instead.
~40Mb after mysqldump/import
When the input string exceeds the maximum allowed size for the
internal buffer, batch_readline() returns a truncated string.
Since there was no way for a caller to determine whether the
string was truncated or not, the command line client assumed
batch_readline() to always return the whole input string and
appended a newline character. This resulted in garbled data
when importing dumps containing strings longer than the
maximum input buffer size.
Fixed by adding a flag to the batch_readline() interface to
signal a truncated string to the caller.
Other minor problems fixed during patch implementation:
- The maximum allowed buffer size for batch_readline() was set
up depending on the client's max_allowed_packet value. It does
not actully make any sense, as those variables are not
related. The input buffer size limit is now always set to 1
MB.
- fill_buffer() did not always set the EOF flag.
- The input buffer could actually grow twice as the specified
limit due to insufficient checks in intern_read_line().
There was a problem when a DELIMITER COMMAND is not the first
command on the line. I this case an extra line feed was added
to the glob buffer and this was causing subsequent attempts
to enter this delimiter to fail.
Fixed by not adding a new line to the glob buffer if the
command being added is a DELIMITER

Typo existed in help-text for command "charset" in mysql
client, making the parameter-name different for long and
short forms of the command for no good reason.
Fixed.
- Remove bothersome warning messages. This change focuses on the warnings
that are covered by the ignore file: support-files/compiler_warnings.supp.
- Strings are guaranteed to be max uint in length
The fix for BUG#20103 "Escaping with backslash does not work as expected"
was implemented too greedy though in that it not only changes the behavior
of backslashes within strings but in general, so disabling command shortcuts
like \G or \C (which in turn leads to Bug #36391: "mysqlbinlog creates invalid charset
statements").
The fix allows the escaping with backslash to take place only inside a string,
thus enabling the execution of command shortcuts and presevering the fix for
BUG#20103.
Fix parsing of mysql client commands, especially in relation to
single-line comments when --comments was specified.
This is a little tricky, because we need to allow single-line
comments in the middle of statements, but we don't want to allow
client commands in the middle of statements. So in
comment-preservation mode, we go ahead and send single-line
comments to the server immediately when we encounter them on their
own.
This is still slightly flawed, in that it does not handle a
single-line comment with leading spaces, followed by a client-side
command when --comment has been enabled. But this isn't a new
problem, and it is quite an edge condition. Fixing it would require
a more extensive overall of how the mysql client parses commands.
The problem here is that embedded server starts handle_thread manager
thread on mysql_library_init() does not stop it on mysql_library_end().
At shutdown, my_thread_global_end() waits for thread count to become 0,
but since we did not stop the thread it will give up after 5 seconds.
Solution is to move shutdown for handle_manager thread from kill_server()
(mysqld specific) to clean_up() that is used by both embedded and mysqld.
This patch also contains some refactorings - to avoid duplicate code,
start_handle_manager() and stop_handle_manager() functions are introduced.
Unused variables are eliminated. handle_manager does not rely on global
variable abort_loop anymore to stop (abort_loop is not set for embedded).
Note: Specifically on Windows and when using DBUG version of libmysqld,
the complete solution requires removing obsolete code my_thread_init()
from my_thread_var(). This has a side effect that a DBUG statement
after my_thread_end() can cause thread counter to be incremented, and
embedded will hang for some seconds. Or worse, my_thread_init() will
crash if critical sections have been deleted by the global cleanup
routine that runs in a different thread.
This patch also fixes and revert prior changes for Bug#38293
"Libmysqld crash in mysql_library_init if language file missing".
Root cause of the crash observed in Bug#38293 was bug in my_thread_init()
described above
Bug#33812: mysql client incorrectly parsing DELIMITER
Remove unnecessary and incorrect code that tried
to pull delimiter commands out of the middle of
statements.
There was no way to return an error from the client library
if no MYSQL connections was established.
So here i added variables to store that king of errors and
made functions like mysql_error(NULL) to return these.
Nothing was in the command-line dictionary, because of the wrong
order of instructions when populating it.
This is a smaller, less optimistic patch that both fixes a bug and
refreshes the list of keywords that the command-line library (e.g.,
readline) can use to expand typed commands. Now, read from the
command list /after/ we free the list, not before.
The best way is to read the keywords from the lexer code, but that
doesn't work everywhere yet. Grr.

Bug#33976: buffer overflow of variable time_buff in function com_go()
An internal buffer was too short. Overextending could smash the
stack on some architectures and cause SEGVs. This is not a problem
that could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
To fix, I expanded one buffer to cover all the size that could be
written to (we know the abolute max).
Default values of variables were not subject to upper/lower bounds
and step, while setting variables was. Bounds and step are also
applied to defaults now; defaults are corrected quietly, values
given by the user are corrected, and a correction-warning is thrown
as needed. Lastly, very large values could wrap around, starting
from 0 again. They are bounded at the maximum value for the
respective data-type now if no lower maximum is specified in the
variable's definition.
In several cases, an error when processing the query would cause mysql to
return to the top level without printing warnings. Fix is to always
print any available warnings before returning to the top level.
disables the option explicitely.
Changed the option location in code so that --help will show it in
lexical option order.
This is for bug #26215: mysql command line client should not strip
comments from SQL statements
command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.

bug #11230: Keeping comments when storing stored procedures
With the introduction of multiline comments support in the command line
client (mysql) in MySQL 4.1, it became impossible to preserve
client-side comments within single SQL statements or stored routines.
This feature was useful for monitoring tools and maintenance.
The patch adds a new option to the command line client
('--enable-comments', '-c') which allows to preserve SQL comments and
send them to the server for single SQL statements, and to keep comments
in the code for stored procedures / functions / triggers.
The patch is a modification of the contributed patch from bug #11230
with the following changes:
- code style changes to conform to the coding guidelines
- changed is_prefix() to my_strnncoll() to detect the DELIMITER
command, since the first one is case-sensitive and not charset-aware
- renamed t/comments-51.* to t/mysql_comments.*
- removed tests for comments in triggers since 5.0 does not have SHOW
CREATE TRIGGER (those tests will be added back in 5.1).
The test cases are only for bug #11230. No automated test case for bug
#26215 is possible due to the test suite deficiencies (though the cases
from the bug report were tested manually).
make sure that if builder configured with a non-standard (!= 3306)
default TCP port that value actually gets used throughout. if they
didn't configure a value, assume "use a sensible default", which
will be read from /etc/services or, failing that, from the factory
default. That makes the order of preference
- command-line option
- my.cnf, where applicable
- $MYSQL_TCP_PORT environment variable
- /etc/services (unless configured --with-tcp-port)
- default port (--with-tcp-port=... or factory default)
Problem:
In cases when a client-side macro appears inside a server-side comment, the add_line() function in mysql.cc discarded all characters until the next delimiter to remove macro arguments from the query string. This resulted in broken queries being sent to the server when the next delimiter character appeared past the comment's boundaries, because the comment closing sequence ('*/') was discarded.
Fix:
If a client-side macro appears inside a server-side comment, discard all characters in the comment after the macro (that is, until the end of the comment rather than the next delimiter).
This is a minimal fix to allow only simple cases used by the mysqlbinlog utility. Limitations that are worth documenting:
- Nested server-side and/or client-side comments are not supported by mysql.cc
- Using client-side macros in multi-line server-side comments is not supported
- All characters after a client-side macro in a server-side comment will be omitted from the query string (and thus, will not be sent to server).
