DATE and DATETIME can be compared either as strings or as int. Both
methods have their disadvantages. Strings can contain valid DATETIME value
but have insignificant zeros omitted thus became non-comparable with
other DATETIME strings. The comparison as int usually will require conversion
from the string representation and the automatic conversion in most cases is
carried out in a wrong way thus producing wrong comparison result. Another
problem occurs when one tries to compare DATE field with a DATETIME constant.
The constant is converted to DATE losing its precision i.e. losing time part.
This fix addresses the problems described above by adding a special
DATE/DATETIME comparator. The comparator correctly converts DATE/DATETIME
string values to int when it's necessary, adds zero time part (00:00:00)
to DATE values to compare them correctly to DATETIME values. Due to correct
conversion malformed DATETIME string values are correctly compared to other
DATE/DATETIME values.
As of this patch a DATE value equals to DATETIME value with zero time part.
For example '2001-01-01' equals to '2001-01-01 00:00:00'.
The compare_datetime() function is added to the Arg_comparator class.
It implements the correct comparator for DATE/DATETIME values.
Two supplementary functions called get_date_from_str() and get_datetime_value()
are added. The first one extracts DATE/DATETIME value from a string and the
second one retrieves the correct DATE/DATETIME value from an item.
The new Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates() function is added and used
to check whether two given items can be compared by the compare_datetime()
comparator.
Two caching variables were added to the Arg_comparator class to speedup the
DATE/DATETIME comparison.
One more store() method was added to the Item_cache_int class to cache int
values.
The new is_datetime() function was added to the Item class. It indicates
whether the item returns a DATE/DATETIME value.
Fix is to rewrite the MBR::overlaps() function, to compute the dimension of both
arguments, and the dimension of the intersection; test that all three dimensions are the
same (e.g., all are Polygons).
Add tests for all MBR* functions for various combinations of shapes, lines and points.
If we compare two items A and B, with B being (a constant) of a
larger type, then A gets promoted to B's type for comparison if
it's a constant, function, or CAST() column, but B gets demoted
to A's type if A is a (not explicitly CAST()) column. This is
counter-intuitive and not mandated by the standard.
Disabling optimisation where it would be lossy so field value
will properly get promoted and compared as binary string (rather
than as integers).
- Use mysql_system_tables.sql to create MySQL system tables in
all places where we create them(mysql_install_db, mysql-test-run-pl
and mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql)
tables' lock."
Execution of ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE KEYS on a table (which can take rather
long time) prevented concurrent execution of all statements using tables.
The problem was caused by the fact that we were holding LOCK_open mutex
during whole duration of this statement and particularly during call
to handler::enable_indexes(). This behavior was introduced as part of the
fix for bug 14262 "SP: DROP PROCEDURE|VIEW (maybe more) write to binlog
too late (race cond)"
The patch simply restores old behavior. Note that we can safely do this as
this operation takes exclusive lock (similar to name-lock) which blocks both
DML and DDL on the table being altered.
It also introduces mysql-test/include/wait_show_pattern.inc helper script
which is used to make test-case for this bug robust enough.
(Mostly in DBUG_PRINT() and unused arguments)
Fixed bug in query cache when used with traceing (--with-debug)
Fixed memory leak in mysqldump
Removed warnings from mysqltest scripts (replaced -- with #)
Problem: Too confusing error message when cannot convert
between string and column character sets on INSERT and UPDATE.
Fix: producing a better error message, instead of "Data too long"
in such cases
Additional changes: Adding "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" into several
tests to be safe against failures in previous tests.
This patch reverts a change introduced by Bug 6951, which incorrectly
set thd->abort_on_warning for stored procedures.
As per internal discussions about the SQL_MODE=TRADITIONAL,
the correct behavior is to *not* abort on warnings even inside an INSERT/UPDATE
trigger.
Tests for Stored Procedures, Stored Functions, Triggers involving SQL_MODE
have been included or revised, to reflect the intended behavior.
(reposting approved patch, to work around source control issues, no review needed)
to run the whole testcase to find wich testcases need to be checked more carefully
and the just "copy and paste" the suspicious test case names to
a new mysql-test-run.pl command.
In 5.0 we made LOAD DATA INFILE autocommit in all engines, while
only NDB wanted that. Users and trainers complained that it affected
InnoDB and was a change compared to 4.1 where only NDB autocommitted.
To revert to the behaviour of 4.1, we move the autocommit logic out of mysql_load() into
ha_ndbcluster::external_lock().
The result is that LOAD DATA INFILE commits all uncommitted changes
of NDB if this is an NDB table, its own changes if this is an NDB
table, but does not affect other engines.
Note: even though there is no "commit the full transaction at end"
anymore, LOAD DATA INFILE stays disabled in routines (re-entrency
problems per a comment of Pem).
Note: ha_ndbcluster::has_transactions() does not give reliable results
because it says "yes" even if transactions are disabled in this engine...
