for bug#16425: Events: no DEFINER clause. The problem was that there
were two rules
ALTER view_algorithm_opt definer ... VIEW ...
ALTER definer EVENT ...
so when there was 'ALTER definer' in the input it was unclear if empty
view_algorithm_opt should be executed or not.
We solve this by introducing three distinct rules
ALTER view_algorithm definer ... VIEW ...
ALTER definer ... VIEW ...
ALTER definer EVENT ...
that remove the ambiguity.
The problem was that some facilities (like CONVERT_TZ() function or
server HELP statement) may require implicit access to some tables in
'mysql' database. This access was done by ordinary means of adding
such tables to the list of tables the query is going to open.
However, if we issued LOCK TABLES before that, we would get "table
was not locked" error trying to open such implicit tables.
The solution is to treat certain tables as MySQL system tables, like
we already do for mysql.proc. Such tables may be opened for reading
at any moment regardless of any locks in effect. The cost of this is
that system table may be locked for writing only together with other
system tables, it is disallowed to lock system tables for writing and
have any other lock on any other table.
After this patch the following tables are treated as MySQL system
tables:
mysql.help_category
mysql.help_keyword
mysql.help_relation
mysql.help_topic
mysql.proc (it already was)
mysql.time_zone
mysql.time_zone_leap_second
mysql.time_zone_name
mysql.time_zone_transition
mysql.time_zone_transition_type
These tables are now opened with open_system_tables_for_read() and
closed with close_system_tables(), or one table may be opened with
open_system_table_for_update() and closed with close_thread_tables()
(the latter is used for mysql.proc table, which is updated as part of
normal MySQL server operation). These functions may be used when
some tables were opened and locked already.
NOTE: online update of time zone tables is not possible during
replication, because there's no time zone cache flush neither on LOCK
TABLES, nor on FLUSH TABLES, so the master may serve stale time zone
data from cache, while on slave updated data will be loaded from the
time zone tables.
construct references invalid name.
Derived tables currently cannot use outer references.
Thus there is no outer context for them.
The 4.1 code takes this fact into account while the
Item_field::fix_outer_field code of 5.0 lost the check that blocks
any attempts to resolve names in outer context for derived tables.
Option --no-beep is added to mysqladmin like it already exists in
the "mysql" command-line client (short option: -b; long: --no-beep).
Default is to emit beeps like that "mysql" client.
Can't test in the testsuite; but on my Linux I tested by hand:
open a *xterm* and there do "mysqladmin shutdown" - I hear a beep;
with --no-beep, no beep.
