Merge fix
partition_mgm did not require have_symlink.
Moved the test case to partition_symlink, which
require have_symlink, and should work on both *nix and
Windows
partitioned table
Post-pushbuild fix
Pushbuild detected a new need for lex initialization in
embedded server.
Fixed test for INSERT DELAYED in partitions_hash.test so that
it works with embedded server.
Problem: there was no standard syntax error when
creating partitions with syntax error in
the partitioning clause.
Solution: added "Syntax error: " to the error message
Problem: the table's INDEX and DATA DIR was taken
directly from the table's first partition.
This allowed rename attack similar to
bug#32111 when ALTER TABLE REMOVE PARTITIONING
Solution: Silently ignore the INDEX/DATA DIR
for the table. (Like some other storage engines
do).
Partitioned tables do not support DATA/INDEX
DIR on the table level, only on its partitions.
the wrong buffer
handler::index_next_same() did not take into account that the
internally called function key_cmp_if_same() uses the fixed
buffer table->record[0] for key comparison instead of the
buffer provided by the caller of handler::index_next_same().
Added code to temporarily redirect table->record[0] and the fields
used for the key to the record buffer provided by the caller of
handler::index_next_same().
The test case is in partition.test already.
RENAME TABLE against a table with DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY overwrites
the file to which the symlink points.
This is security issue, because it is possible to create a table with
some name in some non-system database and set DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY
to mysql system database. Renaming this table to one of mysql system
tables (e.g. user, host) would overwrite the system table.
Return an error when the file to which the symlink points exist.
Disabling and enabling indexes on a non-empty table grows the
index file.
Disabling indexes just sets a flag per non-unique index and does not
free the index blocks of the affected indexes. Re-enabling indexes
creates new indexes with new blocks. The old blocks remain unused
in the index file.
Fixed by dropping and re-creating all indexes if non-empty disabled
indexes exist when enabling indexes. Dropping all indexes resets
the internal end-of-file marker to the end of the index file header.
It also clears the root block pointers of every index and clears the
deleted blocks chains. This way all blocks are declared as free.
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.
The fix for bug 31148 is not correct. It does not
have a relation to the problem described in this bug.
And removing the fix will not make the bug to re-appear.
Fixed the bug #31974 by removing the fix for bug 31148
and adding a test case.
