Bug#18396916 MAIN.OUTFILE_LOADDATA TEST FAILS ON ARM, AARCH64, PPC/PPC64
The recorded results for the failing tests were wrong.
They were introduced by the patch for
Bug#30946 mysqldump silently ignores --default-character-set when used with --tab
Correct results were returned for platforms where 'char' is implemented as unsigned.
This was reported as
Bug#46895 Test "outfile_loaddata" fails (reproducible)
Bug#11755168 46895: TEST "OUTFILE_LOADDATA" FAILS (REPRODUCIBLE)
The patch for that bug fixed only parts of the problem,
leaving the incorrect results in the .result file.
Solution: use 'uchar' for field_terminator and line_terminator on all platforms.
Also: remove some un-necessary casts, leaving the ones we actually need.
truncates text/blob to 766 chars
mysqldump and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE truncated long BLOB/TEXT
values to size of 766 bytes (MAX_FIELD_WIDTH or 255 * 3 + 1).
The select_export::send_data method has been modified to
reallocate a conversion buffer for long field data.
when used with --tab
1) New syntax: added CHARACTER SET clause to the
SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE (to complement the same clause in
LOAD DATA INFILE).
mysqldump is updated to use this in --tab mode.
2) ESCAPED BY/ENCLOSED BY field parameters are documented as
accepting CHAR argument, however SELECT .. INTO OUTFILE
silently ignored rests of multisymbol arguments.
For the symmetrical behavior with LOAD DATA INFILE the
server has been modified to fail with the same error:
ERROR 42000: Field separator argument is not what is
expected; check the manual
3) Current LOAD DATA INFILE recognizes field/line separators
"as is" without converting from client charset to data
file charset. So, it is supposed, that input file of
LOAD DATA INFILE consists of data in one charset and
separators in other charset. For the compatibility with
that [buggy] behaviour SELECT INTO OUTFILE implementation
has been saved "as is" too, but the new warning message
has been added:
Non-ASCII separator arguments are not fully supported
This message warns on field/line separators that contain
non-ASCII symbols.
8bit escape characters, termination and enclosed characters
were silently ignored by SELECT INTO query, but LOAD DATA INFILE
algorithm is 8bit-clean, so data was corrupted during
encoding.
in the SELECT INTO OUTFILE clause starts with a special
character (one of n, t, r, b, 0, Z or N) and ENCLOSED BY
is empty, every occurrence of this character within a
field value is duplicated.
Duplication has been avoided.
New warning message has been added: "First character of
the FIELDS TERMINATED string is ambiguous; please use
non-optional and non-empty FIELDS ENCLOSED BY".
