Adding @@session and @@global prefixes to a
declared variable in a stored procedure the server
would lead to a crash.
The reason was that during the parsing of the
syntactic rule 'option_value' an uninitialized
set_var object was pushed to the parameter stack
of the SET statement. The parent rule
'option_type_value' interpreted the existence of
variables on the parameter stack as an assignment
and wrapped it in a sp_instr_set object.
As the procedure later was executed an attempt
was made to run the method 'check()' on an
uninitialized member object (NULL value) belonging
to the previously created but uninitialized object.
Problem: using null microsecond part in a WHERE condition
(e.g. WHERE date_time_field <= "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.0000")
may lead to wrong results due to improper DATETIMEs
comparison in some cases.
Fix: comparing DATETIMEs as strings we must trim trailing 0's
in such cases.
The problem was in incorrect handling of predicates involving
NULL as a constant value by the range optimizer.
For example, when creating a SEL_ARG node from a condition of
the form "field < const" (which would normally result in the
"NULL < field < const" SEL_ARG), the special case when "const"
is NULL was not taken into account, so "NULL < field < NULL"
was produced for the "field < NULL" condition.
As a result, SEL_ARG structures of this form could not be
further optimized which in turn could lead to incorrectly
constructed SEL_ARG trees. In particular, code assuming SEL_ARG
structures to always form a sequence of ordered disjoint
intervals could enter an infinite loop under some
circumstances.
Fixed by changing get_mm_leaf() so that for any sargable
predicate except "<=>" involving NULL as a constant, "empty"
SEL_ARG is returned, since such a predicate is always false.
view that has Group By
When SELECT'ing from a view that mentions another,
materialized, view, access was being denied. The issue was
resolved by lifting a special case which avoided such access
checking in check_single_table_access. In the past, this was
necessary since if such a check were performed, the error
message would be downgraded to a warning in the case of SHOW
CREATE VIEW. The downgrading of errors was meant to handle
only that scenario, but could not distinguish the two as it
read only the error messages.
The special case was needed in the fix of bug no 36086.
Before that, views were confused with derived tables.
After bug no 35996 was fixed, the manipulation of errors
during SHOW CREATE VIEW execution is not dependent on the
actual error messages in the queue, it rather looks at the
actual cause of the error and takes appropriate
action. Hence the aforementioned special case is now
superfluous and the bug is fixed.
Implemented the server infrastructure for the fix:
1. Added a function LEX_STRING *thd_query_string(THD) to return
a LEX_STRING structure instead of char *.
This is the function that must be called in innodb instead of
thd_query()
2. Did some encapsulation in THD : aggregated thd_query and
thd_query_length into a LEX_STRING and made accessor and mutator
methods for easy code updating.
3. Updated the server code to use the new methods where applicable.
Temporary tables may set join->group to 0 even though there is
grouping. Also need to test if sum_func_count>0 when JOIN::exec()
decides whether to present results in a grouped manner.
columns without where/group
Simple SELECT with implicit grouping used to return many rows if
the query was ordered by the aggregated column in the SELECT
list. This was incorrect because queries with implicit grouping
should only return a single record.
The problem was that when JOIN:exec() decided if execution needed
to handle grouping, it was assumed that sum_func_count==0 meant
that there were no aggregate functions in the query. This
assumption was not correct in JOIN::exec() because the aggregate
functions might have been optimized away during JOIN::optimize().
The reason why queries without ordering behaved correctly was
that sum_func_count is only recalculated if the optimizer chooses
to use temporary tables (which it does in the ordered case).
Hence, non-ordered queries were correctly treated as grouped.
The fix for this bug was to remove the assumption that
sum_func_count==0 means that there is no need for grouping. This
was done by introducing variable "bool implicit_grouping" in the
JOIN object.
Difficult to debug due to lacking report
This does not solve the real issue, but extracts server log when it happens
Forst commit was incomplete, didn't cover all cases
The BINLOG statement was sharing too much code with the slave SQL thread, introduced with
the patch for Bug#32407. This caused statements to be logged with the wrong server_id, the
id stored inside the events of the BINLOG statement rather than the id of the running
server.
Fix by rearranging code a bit so that only relevant parts of the code are executed by
the BINLOG statement, and the server_id of the server executing the statements will
not be overrided by the server_id stored in the 'format description BINLOG statement'.
