a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem".
The idea of the fix is to ensure that we always commit the current
statement at the end of dispatch_command(). In order to not issue
redundant disc syncs, an optimization of the two-phase commit
protocol is implemented to bypass the two phase commit if
the transaction is read-only.
The problem is that some DDL statements (ALTER TABLE, CREATE
TRIGGER, FLUSH TABLES, ...) when under LOCK TABLES need to
momentarily drop the lock, reopen the table and grab the write
lock again (using reopen_tables). When grabbing the lock again,
reopen_tables doesn't pass a flag to mysql_lock_tables in
order to ignore the impending global read lock, which causes a
assertion because LOCK_open is being hold. Also dropping the
lock must not signal to any threads that the table has been
relinquished (related to the locking/flushing protocol).
The solution is to correct the way the table is reopenned
and the locks grabbed. When reopening the table and under
LOCK TABLES, the table version should be set to 0 so other
threads have to wait for the table. When grabbing the lock,
any other flush should be ignored because it's theoretically
a atomic operation. The chosen solution also fixes a potential
discrepancy between binlog and GRL (global read lock) because
table placeholders were being ignored, now a FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK will properly for table with open placeholders.
It's also important to mention that this patch doesn't fix
a potential deadlock if one uses two GRLs under LOCK TABLES
concurrently.
cause ROLLBACK of statement", part 1. Review fixes.
Do not send OK/EOF packets to the client until we reached the end of
the current statement.
This is a consolidation, to keep the functionality that is shared by all
SQL statements in one place in the server.
Currently this functionality includes:
- close_thread_tables()
- log_slow_statement().
After this patch and the subsequent patch for Bug#12713, it shall also include:
- ha_autocommit_or_rollback()
- net_end_statement()
- query_cache_end_of_result().
In future it may also include:
- mysql_reset_thd_for_next_command().
Problem: some pieces of code relied on the default character
set settings, which didn't work in case of default character set
ucs2.
Fix: Specifying character set explicitly, not to depend on
the default settings.

The problems were:
Bug 26379 - Combination of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE
corrupts a MERGE table
1. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting while
REPAIR TABLE or a similar table administration task is ongoing on
one or more of its MyISAM tables.
2. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting until all
threads that did REPAIR TABLE or similar table administration tasks
on one or more of its MyISAM tables in LOCK TABLES segments do UNLOCK
TABLES. The difference against problem #1 is that the busy waiting
takes place *after* the administration task. It is terminated by
UNLOCK TABLES only.
3. Two FLUSH TABLES within a LOCK TABLES segment can invalidate the
lock. This does *not* require a MERGE table. The first FLUSH TABLES
can be replaced by any statement that requires other threads to
reopen the table. In 5.0 and 5.1 a single FLUSH TABLES can provoke
the problem.
Bug 26867 - LOCK TABLES + REPAIR + merge table result in
memory/cpu hogging
Trying DML on a MERGE table, which has a child locked and
repaired by another thread, made an infinite loop in the server.
Bug 26377 - Deadlock with MERGE and FLUSH TABLE
Locking a MERGE table and its children in parent-child order
and flushing the child deadlocked the server.
Bug 25038 - Waiting TRUNCATE
Truncating a MERGE child, while the MERGE table was in use,
let the truncate fail instead of waiting for the table to
become free.
Bug 25700 - merge base tables get corrupted by
optimize/analyze/repair table
Repairing a child of an open MERGE table corrupted the child.
It was necessary to FLUSH the child first.
Bug 30275 - Merge tables: flush tables or unlock tables
causes server to crash
Flushing and optimizing locked MERGE children crashed the server.
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking
Use of a temporary MERGE table with non-temporary children
could corrupt the children.
Temporary tables are never locked. So we do now prohibit
non-temporary chidlren of a temporary MERGE table.
Bug 27660 - Falcon: merge table possible
It was possible to create a MERGE table with non-MyISAM children.
Bug 30273 - merge tables: Can't lock file (errno: 155)
This was a Windows-only bug. Table administration statements
sometimes failed with "Can't lock file (errno: 155)".
These bugs are fixed by a new implementation of MERGE table open.
When opening a MERGE table in open_tables() we do now add the
child tables to the list of tables to be opened by open_tables()
(the "query_list"). The children are not opened in the handler at
this stage.
After opening the parent, open_tables() opens each child from the
now extended query_list. When the last child is opened, we remove
the children from the query_list again and attach the children to
the parent. This behaves similar to the old open. However it does
not open the MyISAM tables directly, but grabs them from the already
open children.
When closing a MERGE table in close_thread_table() we detach the
children only. Closing of the children is done implicitly because
they are in thd->open_tables.
For more detail see the comment at the top of ha_myisammrg.cc.
Changed from open_ltable() to open_and_lock_tables() in all places
that can be relevant for MERGE tables. The latter can handle tables
added to the list on the fly. When open_ltable() was used in a loop
over a list of tables, the list must be temporarily terminated
after every table for open_and_lock_tables().
table_list->required_type is set to FRMTYPE_TABLE to avoid open of
special tables. Handling of derived tables is suppressed.
These details are handled by the new function
open_n_lock_single_table(), which has nearly the same signature as
open_ltable() and can replace it in most cases.
In reopen_tables() some of the tables open by a thread can be
closed and reopened. When a MERGE child is affected, the parent
must be closed and reopened too. Closing of the parent is forced
before the first child is closed. Reopen happens in the order of
thd->open_tables. MERGE parents do not attach their children
automatically at open. This is done after all tables are reopened.
So all children are open when attaching them.
Special lock handling like mysql_lock_abort() or mysql_lock_remove()
needs to be suppressed for MERGE children or forwarded to the parent.
This depends on the situation. In loops over all open tables one
suppresses child lock handling. When a single table is touched,
forwarding is done.
Behavioral changes:
===================
This patch changes the behavior of temporary MERGE tables.
Temporary MERGE must have temporary children.
The old behavior was wrong. A temporary table is not locked. Hence
even non-temporary children were not locked. See
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking.
You cannot change the union list of a non-temporary MERGE table
when LOCK TABLES is in effect. The following does *not* work:
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ...;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 WRITE, m1 WRITE;
ALTER TABLE m1 ... UNION=(t1,t2) ...;
However, you can do this with a temporary MERGE table.
You cannot create a MERGE table with CREATE ... SELECT, neither
as a temporary MERGE table, nor as a non-temporary MERGE table.
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ... SELECT ...;
Gives error message: table is not BASE TABLE.
partitioned table
Trying INSERT DELAYED on a partitioned table, that has not been
used right before, crashes the server. When a table is used for
select or update, it is kept open for some time. This period I
mean with "right before".
Information about partitioning of a table is stored in form of
a string in the .frm file. Parsing of this string requires a
correctly set up lexical analyzer (lex). The partitioning code
uses a new temporary instance of a lex. But it does still refer
to the previously active lex. The delayd insert thread does not
initialize its lex though...
Added initialization for thd->lex before open table in the delayed
thread and at all other places where it is necessary to call
lex_start() if all tables would be partitioned and need to parse
the .frm file.
- problem is the database name accessed in Rows_log_event write... get_db() which is a pointer to the share string...
- point to table map instead?
- or copy it?
- or make sure that anything interacting with the share happens _after_ the epoch
Problem with flush is that STMT_END_F may not be included as it shoudld...
