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.
Print information if net_clear() skipped bytes (As this otherwise hides critical timeing bugs)
Added DBUG_ASSERT if we get packets out of order
mysql_change_user() could on error send multiple packets, which caused mysql_client_test to randomly fail
Cache".
WL#1569 "Prepared Statements: implement support of Query Cache".
Prepared SELECTs did not look up in the query cache, and their results
were not stored in the query cache. This made them slower than
non-prepared SELECTs in some cases.
The fix is to re-use the expanded query (the prepared query where
"?" placeholders are replaced by their values, at execution time)
for searching/storing in the query cache.
It works fine for statements prepared via mysql_stmt_prepare(), which
are the most commonly used and were the scope of this bugfix and WL.
It works less fine for statements prepared via the SQL command
PREPARE...FROM, which are still not using the query cache if they
have at least one parameter (because then the expanded query contains
names of user variables, and user variables don't work with the
query cache, even in non-prepared queries).
Note that results from prepared SELECTs, which are in the binary
protocol, and results from normal SELECTs, which are in the text
protocol, ignore each other in the query cache, because a result in the
binary protocol should never be served to a SELECT expecting the text
protocol and vice-versa.
Note, after this patch, bug 25843 starts applying to query cache
("changing default database between PREPARE and EXECUTE of statement
breaks binlog"), we need to fix it.
- Always reset error when calling mysql_stmt_prepare a second time
- Set stmt->state to MYSQL_STMT_INIT_DONE before closing prepared stmt in server.
- Add test to mysql_client_test
- Remove mysql_stmt_close in mysqltest after each query
- Close all open statements in mysqltest if disable_ps_protocol is called.
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
expression cols.
The problem was that MYSQL_FIELD::org_name was set for MIN() and MAX()
functions (COUNT() is also mentioned in the bug report but was already
fixed).
After this patch for expressions MYSQL_FIELD::name is set to either
expression itself or its alias, and other data origin fields of
MYSQL_FILED (db, org_table, table, org_name) are empty strings.
(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 #)
mysql_stmt_affected_rows()
The problem was that affected_rows for prepared statement wasn't updated
in the client library on the error. The solution is to always update
affected_rows, which will be equal to -1 on the error.
Due to the complexity of this change, everything is documented in WL#3565
This patch is the third iteration, it takes into account the comments
received to date.
