An update that used a join of a table to itself and modified the
table on one side of the join reported the table as crashed or
updated wrong rows.
Fixed by creating temporary table for self-joined multi update statement.
Handling of large signed/unsigned values was not consistent, so some string functions could return bogus results.
The current fix is to simply patch up the val_str() methods for those string items.
It would be good clean this code up in general, to make similar problems much harder to make. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
spatial index
While executing OPTIMIZE TABLE on MyISAM tables the server re-creates the
index file(s) in order to sort them physically by the key. This cannot be
done for R-tree indexes as it makes no sense.
The server was not checking the type of the index and was accessing an
R-tree index as if it was a B-tree.
Fixed by preventing sorting the index file if it contains an R-tree index.
If SELECT-part of CREATE VIEW statement contains '\Z',
it is not handled correctly.
The problem was in String::print().
Symbol with code 032 (26) is replaced with '\z',
which is not supported by the lexer.
The fix is to replace the symbol with '\Z'.
the UDF
When deleting a user defined function MySQL must remove it from both the
in-memory hash table and the mysql.proc system table.
Finding (and removal therefore) from the internal hash table is case
insensitive (or whatever the default charset is), whereas finding and
removal from the system table is case sensitive.
As a result if you supply a function name that is not in the same character
case to DROP FUNCTION the server will remove the function only from the
in-memory hash table and will keep the row in mysql.proc system table.
This will cause inconsistency between the two structures (that is fixed
only by restarting the server).
Fixed by using the name in the precise case (from the in-memory hash table)
to delete the row in the mysql.proc system table.
Problem:
When creating a temporary field for a temporary table in create_tmp_field_from_field(), a resulting field is created as an exact copy of an original one (in Field::new_field()). However, Field_enum and Field_set contain a pointer (typelib) to memory allocated in the parent table's MEM_ROOT, which under some circumstances may be deallocated later by the time a temporary table is used.
Solution:
Override the new_field() method for Field_enum and Field_set and create a separate copy of the typelib structure in there.
- When this bug was corrected it changed the behavior
for data/index directory in the myisam test case.
- This patch moves the OS depending tests to a non-windows
test file.
Blocked evaluation of constant objects of the classes
Item_func_is_null and Item_is_not_null_test at the
prepare phase in the cases when the objects used subqueries.
