on table creates
The problem was in incompatible syntax for key definition in CREATE
TABLE.
5.0 supports only the following syntax for key definition (see "CREATE
TABLE syntax" in the manual):
{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...)
While 5.1 parser supports the above syntax, the "preferred" syntax was
changed to:
{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] (index_col_name,...) [index_type]
The above syntax is used in 5.1 for the SHOW CREATE TABLE output, which
led to dumps generated by 5.1 being incompatible with 5.0.
Fixed by changing the parser in 5.0 to support both 5.0 and 5.1 syntax
for key definition.
Simple subselects are pulled into upper selects. This operation substitutes the
pulled subselect for the first item from the select list of the subselect.
If an alias is defined for a subselect it is inherited by the replacement item.
As this is done after fix_fields phase this alias isn't showed if the
replacement item is a stored function. This happens because the Item_func_sp::make_field
function makes send field from its result_field and ignores the defined alias.
Now when an alias is defined the Item_func_sp::make_field function sets it for
the returned field.
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.
Here is the scenario that causes the failure.(by Mats)
1. The to-be corrupt log event (let's call it X), is split into two
packets B and C on the network level (net_write_buff()). The parts
are X = (x',x''). The part x' ends up in packet B and part x''
ends up in packet C. Prior to the corrupt event X, the event Y has
been written successfully, but has been split into two packets as
well, which we call (y',y'').
2. The master sends packet A = (y'',x') to the slave, increases the
packet sequence number, the slave receives the packet, but fails
to reply before the master gets a timeout.
3. Since the master got a timeout, it reports failure, and aborts
sending the binary log by exiting mysql_binlog_send(). However, it
leaves the buffer intact, still holding y'' (but not x', since the
write_pos is not increased).
4. After exiting mysql_binlog_send(), the master does a
disconnection of the client thread, which involves sending an
error message e to the client (i.e., the slave).
5. In this case, net_write_buff() is used again, but this time the
old contents of the packet is used so that the new packet is
D = (y'',e). Note that this will use a new packet sequence number,
since the packet number was increased in step 2.
6. The slave receives the tail y'' of the Y log event, concatenates
this with x' (which it already received), and writes the event
(x',y'') it to the relay log since it hasn't noticed anything is
amiss.
7. It then tries to read more bytes, which is either e (if the length
given for X just happened to match the length given for Y, or just
plain garbage because the slave is out of sync with what is
actually sent.
8. After a while, the SQL thread tries to execute the event (x',y''),
which is very likely to be just nonsense.
The problem can be fixed by not resetting net->error after the call of
mysql_binlog_send, so the error message will not be sent and the connection
will be closed.
Two disjuncts containing equalities of the form key=const1 and key=const2 can
be merged into one if const1 is equal to const2. To check it the common
collation of the constants were used rather than the collation of the field key.
For example when the default collation of the constants was cases insensitive
while the collation of the field was case sensitive, then two or-ed equality
predicates key='b' and key='B' incorrectly were merged into one f='b'. As a
result ref access was used instead of range access and wrong result sets were
returned in many cases.
Fixed the problem by comparing constant in the or-ed predicate with collation of
the key field.
