- Adding variable m_cached_result_type to keep the variable type consistent
during the execution of a statement.
- Before each result set is returned to the client the description of each
column is sent as meta data.
Previously the result type for a column could change if the hash variable
entry changed between statements. This caused the result set of the query
to alternate column types in certain cases which is not supported by MySQL
client-server protocol. Example:
Previously this sequence:
SET @a:=1;
SELECT @a:="text", @a;
would return "text", "text";
After the change the SELECT returns "text", 0
The reson for this is that previously the result set from 'SELECT @a;'
would always be of the type STRING, whereas now the type of the variable
is taken from the last SET statement. However, 'SELECT @a:="text"' will
return type of STRING since the right side of the assignment is used.
- Problem was reported as a SP variable using itself as
right value inside SUBSTR caused corruption of data.
- This bug could not be verified in either 5.0bk or 5.1bk
- Added test case to prevent future regressions.
Before this change, a local variables in stored procedures / stored functions
or triggers, when declared with a type of bit(N), would not evaluate their
value properly.
The problem was that the data was incorrectly typed as a string,
causing for example bit b'1', implemented as a byte 0x01, to be interpreted
as a string starting with the character 0x01. This later would cause
implicit conversions to integers or booleans to fail.
The root cause of this problem was an incorrect translation between field
types, like bit(N), and internal types used when representing values in Item
objects.
Also, before this change, the function HEX() would sometime print extra "0"
characters when invoked with bit(N) values.
With this fix, the type translation (sp_map_result_type, sp_map_item_type)
has been changed so that bit(N) fields are represented with integer values.
A consequence is that, for the function HEX(), when called with a stored
procedure local variable of type bit(N) as argument, HEX() is provided with an
integer instead of a string, and therefore does not print "0" padding.
A test case for Bug 12976 was present in the test suite, and has been updated.
This patch reverts a change introduced by Bug 6951, which incorrectly
set thd->abort_on_warning for stored procedures.
As per internal discussions about the SQL_MODE=TRADITIONAL,
the correct behavior is to *not* abort on warnings even inside an INSERT/UPDATE
trigger.
Tests for Stored Procedures, Stored Functions, Triggers involving SQL_MODE
have been included or revised, to reflect the intended behavior.
