"CSV does not work with NULL value in datetime fields"
Attempting to insert a row with a NULL value for a DATETIME field
results in a CSV file which the storage engine cannot read.
Don't blindly assume that "0" is acceptable for all field types,
Since CSV does not support NULL, we find out from the field the
default non-null value.
Do not permit the creation of a table with a nullable columns.
The general log write function (general_log_print) uses printf style
arguments which need to be pre-processed, meaning that the all arguments
are copied to a single buffer and the problem is that the buffer size is
constant (1022 characters) but queries can be much larger then this.
The solution is to introduce a new log write function that accepts a
buffer and it's length as arguments. The function is to be used when
a formatted output is not required, which is the case for almost all
query write-to-log calls.
This is a incompatible change with respect to the log format of prepared
statements.
The server crashed when a thread was killed while locking the
general_log table at statement begin.
The general_log table is handled like a performance schema table.
The state of open tables is saved and cleared so that this table
seems to be the only open one. Then this table is opened and locked.
After writing, the table is closed and the open table state is
restored. Before restoring, however, it is asserted that there is
no current table open.
After locking the table, mysql_lock_tables() checks if the thread
was killed in between. If so, it unlocks the table and returns an
error. open_ltable() just returns with the error and leaves closing
of the table to close_thread_tables(), which is called at
statement end.
open_performance_schema_table() did not take this into account.
It assumed that a failed open_ltable() would not leave an open
table behind.
Fixed by closing thread tables after open_ltable() and before
restore_backup_open_tables_state() if the thread was killed.
No test case. It requires correctly timed parallel execution.
Since this bug was detected by the test suite, it seems
dispensable to add another test.
Previously, UDF *_init functions were passed constant strings with erroneous lengths. The length came from the containing variable's size, not the length of the value itself.
Now the *_init functions get the constant as a null terminated string with the correct length supplied too.
CPUs / Intel's ICC compile
The bug is a combination of two problems:
1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.
2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.
It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.
This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.
The problem was that the RETURNS column in the mysql.proc was of
CHAR(64). That was not enough for storing long-named datatypes.
The fix is to change CHAR(64) to LONGBLOB, and to throw warnings
at the time a stored routine is created if some data is truncated
during writing into mysql.proc.
The problem is that currently there is no way to test the behavior
of the mysql_change_user() function using the mysqltest suite because
there is no internal command for it.
The solution is to introduce a change_user command that can be used
to test aspects of the MySQL client function mysql_change_user().
