If setting a system-variable provided by a plug-in failed, no OK or
error was sent in some cases, hanging the client. We now send an error
in the case from the ticket (integer-argument out of range in STRICT
mode). We also provide a semi-generic fallback message for possible
future cases like this where an error is signalled, but no message is
sent to the client. The error/warning handling is unified so it's the
same again for variables provided by plugins and those in the server
proper.
SQL-mode PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH affected mysqld's user-table too. If
enabled, user-name and host were space-padded and no longer matched
the login-data of incoming connexions.
Patch disregards pad-flag while loading privileges so ability to log
in does not depend on SQL-mode.
In BENCHMARK(count, expr), count could overflow/wrap-around.
Patch changes to a sufficiently large data-type. Adds a warning
for negative count values.
suite)
Under some circumstances a combination of aggregate functions and
GROUP BY in a SELECT query over a VIEW could lead to incorrect
calculation of the result type of the aggregate function. This in
turn could result in incorrect results, or assertion failures on debug
builds.
Fixed by changing the logic in Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() so that
the argument's item is dereferenced before calling its type() method.
floating point numbers
Some math functions did not check if the result is a valid number
(i.e. neither of +-inf or nan).
Fixed by validating the result where necessary and returning NULL in
case of invalid result.
Problem is not about intervals and doesn't actually cause 'full table scan'.
We have an optimization for DISTINCT when we have
'DISTINCT field_from_first_join_table' we don't need to read all the
rows from the JOIN-ed table if we found one conforming row.
It stopped working in 5.0 as we return NESTED_LOOP_OK if we came upon
that case in the evaluate_join_record() and that doesn't break the
recordreading loop in sub_select().
Fixed by returning NESTED_LOOP_NO_MORE_ROWS in this case.
when executed in version 5
Zero fill is a field attribute only. So we can't always
propagate constants for zerofill fields : the values and
expression results don't have that flag.
Fixed by converting the const value to a string and
using that in const propagation when the context allows it.
Disable const propagation for fields with ZEROFILL flag in
all the other cases.
for wildcard values.
The server ignored escape character before wildcards during
the calculation of priority values for sorting of a privilege
list. (Actually the server counted an escape character as an
ordinary wildcard like % or _). I.e. the table name template
with a wildcard character like 'tbl_1' had higher priority in
a privilege list than concrete table name without wildcards
like 'tbl\_1', and some privileges of 'tbl\_1' was hidden
by privileges for 'tbl_1'.
The get_sort function has been modified to ignore escaped
wildcards as usual.
type conversion.
Instead of copying of whole character string from a temporary
buffer, the server copied a short-living pointer to that string
into a long-living structure. That has been fixed.
or trigger crashes server
Under some circumstances a combination of VIEWs, subselects with outer
references and PS/SP/triggers could lead to use of uninitialized memory
and server crash as a result.
Fixed by changing the code in Item_field::fix_fields() so that in cases
when the field is a VIEW reference, we first check whether the field
is also an outer reference, and mark it appropriately before returning.
The unsignedness of large integer user variables was not being
properly preserved when feeded to prepared statements. This was
happening because the unsigned flags wasn't being updated when
converting the user variable is converted to a parameter.
The solution is to copy the unsigned flag when converting the
user variable to a parameter and take the unsigned flag into
account when converting the integer to a string.
The out of memory error was thrown when the sort buffer size were too small.
This led to a user confusion.
Now filesort throws the error message about sort buffer being too small.
