When optimizing conditions like 'a = <some_val> OR a IS NULL' so that they're
united into a single condition on the key and checked together the server must
check which value is the NULL value in a correct way : not only using ->is_null
but also check if the expression doesn't depend on any tables referenced in the
current statement.
This additional check must be performed because that optimization takes place
before the actual execution of the statement, so if the field was initialized
to NULL from a previous statement the optimization would be applied incorrectly.
The problem was in that opt_sum_query() replaced MIN/MAX functions
with the corresponding constant found in a key, but due to imprecise
representation of float numbers, when evaluating the where clause,
this comparison failed.
When MIN/MAX optimization detects that all tables can be removed,
also remove all conjuncts in a where clause that refer to these
tables. As a result of this fix, these conditions are not evaluated
twice, and in the case of float number comparisons we do not discard
result rows due to imprecise float representation.
As a side-effect this fix also corrects an unnoticed problem in
bug 12882.
for class Item_func_trim.
For 4.1 it caused wrong output for EXPLAIN EXTENDED commands
if expressions with the TRIM function of two arguments were used.
For 5.0 it caused an error message when trying to select
from a view with the TRIM function of two arguments.
This unexpected error message was due to the fact that the
print method for the class Item_func_trim was inherited from
the class Item_func. Yet the TRIM function does not take a list
of its arguments. Rather it takes the arguments in the form:
[{BOTH | LEADING | TRAILING} [remstr] FROM] str) |
[remstr FROM] str
1) When initializing a boolean variable, do not use string representations '"false"' and '"true"'
but rather the boolean values 'false' and 'true'.
2) Add the module to the various Windows description files.
* don't use join cache when the incoming data set is already ordered
for ORDER BY
This choice must be made because join cache will effectively
reverse the join order and the results will be sorted by the index
of the table that uses join cache.
may return a wrong result.
An Item_sum_hybrid object has the was_values flag which indicates whether any
values were added to the sum function. By default it is set to true and reset
to false on any no_rows_in_result() call. This method is called only in
return_zero_rows() function. An ALL/ANY subquery can be optimized by MIN/MAX
optimization. The was_values flag is used to indicate whether the subquery
has returned at least one row. This bug occurs because return_zero_rows() is
called only when we know that the select will return zero rows before
starting any scans but often such information is not known.
In the reported case the return_zero_rows() function is not called and
the was_values flag is not reset to false and yet the subquery return no rows
Item_func_not_all and Item_func_nop_all functions return a wrong
comparison result.
The end_send_group() function now calls no_rows_in_result() for each item
in the fields_list if there is no rows were found for the (sub)query.
The problem is that the author used the wrong function to send a warning to the
user about truncation of data. push_warning() takes a constant string and
push_warning_printf() takes a format and variable arguments to fill it.
Since the string we were complaining about contains percent characters, the
printf() code interprets the "%Y" et c. that the user sends. That's wrong, and
often causes a crash, especially if the date mentions seconds, "%s".
A alternate fix would be to use push_warning_printf(..., "%s", warn_buff) .
The ALL/ANY subqueries are the subject of MIN/MAX optimization. The matter
of this optimization is to embed MIN() or MAX() function into the subquery
in order to get only one row by which we can tell whether the expression
with ALL/ANY subquery is true or false.
But when it is applied to a subquery like 'select a_constant' the reported bug
occurs. As no tables are specified in the subquery the do_select() function
isn't called for the optimized subquery and thus no values have been added
to a MIN()/MAX() function and it returns NULL instead of a_constant.
This leads to a wrong query result.
For the subquery like 'select a_constant' there is no reason to apply
MIN/MAX optimization because the subquery anyway will return at most one row.
Thus the Item_maxmin_subselect class is more appropriate for handling such
subqueries.
The Item_in_subselect::single_value_transformer() function now checks
whether tables are specified for the subquery. If no then this subselect is
handled like a UNION using an Item_maxmin_subselect object.
To make MySQL compatible with some ODBC applications, you can find
the AUTO_INCREMENT value for the last inserted row with the following query:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE auto_col IS NULL.
This is done with a special code that replaces 'auto_col IS NULL' with
'auto_col = LAST_INSERT_ID'.
However this also resets the LAST_INSERT_ID to 0 as it uses it for a flag
so as to ensure that only the first SELECT ... WHERE auto_col IS NULL
after an INSERT has this special behaviour.
In order to avoid resetting the LAST_INSERT_ID a special flag is introduced
in the THD class. This flag is used to restrict the second and subsequent
SELECTs instead of LAST_INSERT_ID.
closing temp tables through end_thread
had a flaw in binlog-off branch of close_temporary_tables where
next table to close was reset via table->next
for (table= thd->temporary_tables; table; table= table->next)
which was wrong since the current table instance got destoyed at
close_temporary(table, 1);
The fix adapts binlog-on branch method to engage the loop's internal 'next' variable which holds table->next prior table's destoying.
dropping/creating tables".
The bug could lead to a crash when multi-delete statements were
prepared and used with temporary tables.
The bug was caused by lack of clean-up of multi-delete tables before
re-execution of a prepared statement. In a statement like
DELETE t1 FROM t1, t2 WHERE ... the first table list (t1) is
moved to lex->auxilliary_table_list and excluded from lex->query_tables
or select_lex->tables. Thus it was unaccessible to reinit_stmt_before_use
and not cleaned up before re-execution of a prepared statement.
The implementation of the method Item_func_reverse::val_str
for the REVERSE function modified the argument of the function.
This led to wrong results for expressions that contained
REVERSE(ref) if ref occurred somewhere else in the expressions.
On exactly-sized Strings, the String::c_ptr() function peeked beyond the
end of the buffer, possibly into unititialized space to see whether the
buffer was NUL-terminated.
In a place that did peek improperly, we now use a c_ptr_safe() function,
which doesn't peek where it shouldn't.
