It was possible that fetching a record by an exact key value
(including the record pointer) could return a record with a
different key value. This happened only if a concurrent insert
added a record with the searched key value after the fetching
statement locked the table for read.
The search succeded on the key value, but the record was
rejected as it was past the file length that was remembered
at start of the fetching statement. With other words it was
rejected as being a concurrently inserted record.
The action to recover from this problem was to fetch the
record that is pointed at by the next key of the index.
This was repeated until a record below the file length was
found.
I do now avoid this loop if an exact match was searched.
If this match is beyond the file length, it is now treated
as "key not found". There cannot be another key with the
same record pointer.
CHECK TABLE could complain about a fully intact spatial index.
A wrong comparison operator was used for table checking.
The result was that it checked for non-matching spatial keys.
This succeeded if at least two different keys were present,
but failed if only the matching key was present.
I fixed the key comparison.
Produce a warning if DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY is specified in
ALTER TABLE statement.
Ignoring of these options is documented in the symbolic links
section of the manual.
Very complex select statements can create temporary tables
that are too big to be represented as a MyISAM table.
This was not checked at table creation time, but only at
open time. The result was an attempt to delete the
"impossible" table.
But if the server is built --with-raid, MyISAM tries to
open the table before deleting the files. It needs to find
out if the table uses the raid support and how many raid
chunks there are. This is done with an open "for repair",
which will almost always succeed.
But in this case we have an "impossible" table. The open
failed. Hence the files were not deleted. Also the error
message was a bit unspecific.
I turned an open error in this situation into the assumption
of having no raid support on the table. Thus the normal data
file is tried to be deleted. This may however leave existing
raid chunks behind.
I also added a check in mi_create() to prevent the creation
of an "impossible" table. A more decriptive error message is
given in this case.
No test case. The required select statement is way too
large for the test suite. I added a test script to the
bug report.
- make sure to allocate just enough pages in the fragments by using the actual
row count from the backup, to avoid over allocation of pages to fragments, and
thus avoid the bug
An UNIQUE KEY consisting of NOT NULL columns
was displayed as PRIMARY KEY in "DESC t1".
According to the code, that was intentional
behaviour for some reasons unknown to me.
This code was written before bitkeeper time,
so I cannot check who and why made this.
After discussing on dev-public, a decision
was made to remove this code
The AsBinary function returns VARCHAR data type with binary collation.
It can cause problem for clients that treat that kind of data as
different from BLOB type.
So now AsBinary returns BLOB.
This bug in Field_string::cmp resulted in a wrong comparison
with keys in partial indexes over multi-byte character fields.
Given field a is declared as a varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci
INDEX(a(4)) gives us an example of such an index.
Wrong key comparisons could lead to wrong result sets if
the selected query execution plan used a range scan by
a partial index over a utf8 character field.
This also caused wrong results in many other cases.

Using MAX()/MIN() on table with disabled indexes (by ALTER TABLE)
results in error 124 (wrong index) from storage engine.
The problem was that optimizer use disabled index to optimize
MAX()/MIN(). Normally it must skip disabled index and perform
table scan.
This patch skips disabled indexes for min/max optimization.

Fixes bug#17264, for alter table on win32 for successfull operation completion
it is used TL_WRITE(=10) lock instead of TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ(=6), however here
in innodb handler TL_WRTIE is lifted to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE, which causes
race condition when several clients do alter table simultaneously.
