The problem was that THD::db_access variable was not restored after
database switch in stored-routine-execution code.
The fix is to restore THD::db_access in this case.
Unfortunately, this fix requires additional changes,
because in prepare_schema_table(), called on the parsing stage, we checked
privileges. That was wrong according to our design, but this flaw haven't
struck so far, because it was masked. All privilege checkings must be
done on the execution stage in order to be compatible with prepared statements
and stored routines. So, this patch also contains patch for
prepare_schema_table(), which moves the checkings to the execution phase.
execution breaks replication.
When a stored routine is executed, we switch current
database to the database, in which the routine
has been created. When the stored routine finishes,
we switch back to the original database.
The problem was that if the original database does not
exist (anymore) after routine execution, we raised an error.
The fix is to report a warning, and switch to the NULL database.
thd->options' OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE bit was not restored at the end of SF() invocation, where
SF() modified non-ta table.
As the result of this artifact it was not possible to detect whether there were any side-effects when
top-level query ends.
If the top level query table was not modified and the bit is lost there would be no binlogging.
Fixed with preserving the bit inside of thd->no_trans_update struct. The struct agregates two bool flags
telling whether the current query and the current transaction modified any non-ta table.
The flags stmt, all are dropped at the end of the query and the transaction.
another user.
When the DEFINER clause isn't specified in the ALTER statement then it's loaded
from the view definition. If the definer differs from the current user then
the error is thrown because only a super-user can set other users as a definers.
Now if the DEFINER clause is omitted in the ALTER VIEW statement then the
definer from the original view is used without check.
Server starts any binlog dump from Format_description_log_event,
this shifted all offset calculations in mysqlbinlog and made it
to stop the dump earlier than --stop-position. Now mysqlbinlog
takes Format_description_log_event into account
Possible problems: function call could be eliminated from where class and only
be evaluated once; function can be evaluated during table and item setup phase which could
cause side effects not to be registered in binlog.
Fixed with introducing func_item_sp::used_tables() returning the correct table_map constant.
in index search MySQL was not explicitly
suppressing warnings. And if the context
happens to enable warnings (e.g. INSERT ..
SELECT) the warnings resulting from converting
the data the key is compared to are
reported to the client.
Fixed by suppressing warnings when converting
the data to the same type as the key parts.
The problem in this bug is when we create temporary tables. When
temporary tables are created for unions, there is some
inferrence being carried out regarding the type of the column.
Whenever this column type is inferred to be REAL (i.e. FLOAT or
DOUBLE), MySQL will always try to maintain exact precision, and
if that is not possible (there are hardware limits, since FLOAT
and DOUBLE are stored as approximate values) will switch to
using approximate values. The problem here is that at this point
the information about number of significant digits is not
available. Furthermore, the number of significant digits should
be increased for the AVG function, however, this was not properly
handled. There are 4 parts to the problem:
#1: DOUBLE and FLOAT fields don't display their proper display
lengths in max_display_length(). This is hard-coded as 53 for
DOUBLE and 24 for FLOAT. Now changed to instead return the
field_length.
#2: Type holders for temporary tables do not preserve the
max_length of the Item's from which they are created, and is
instead reverted to the 53 and 24 from above. This causes
*all* fields to get non-fixed significant digits.
#3: AVG function does not update max_length (display length)
when updating number of decimals.
#4: The function that switches to non-fixed number of
significant digits should use DBL_DIG + 2 or FLT_DIG + 2 as
cut-off values (Since fixed precision does not use the 'e'
notation)
Of these points, #1 is the controversial one, but this
change is preferred and has been cleared with Monty. The
function causes quite a few unit tests to blow up and they had
to b changed, but each one is annotated and motivated. We
frequently see the magical 53 and 24 give way to more relevant
numbers.
fix for cast( AS DATETIME) + 0 operation.
I just implemented Item_datetime_typecast::val() method
as it is usually done in other classes.
Should be fixed more radically in 5.0
of its argument happened to be a decimal expression returning
the NULL value.
The crash was due to the fact the function in_decimal::set did
not take into account that val_decimal() could return 0 if
the decimal expression had been evaluated to NULL.
on a database.
The problem was that we required not less privileges on the base tables
than we have on the view.
The fix is to be more flexible and allow to create such a view (necessary
privileges will be checked at the runtime).
INTO clause can be specified only for the last select of a UNION and it
receives the result of the whole query. But it was wrongly allowed in
non-last selects of a UNION which leads to a confusing query result.
Now INTO allowed only in the last select of a UNION.
aggregated in outer context returned wrong results.
This happened only if the subquery did not contain any references
to outer fields.
As there were no references to outer fields the subquery erroneously
was taken for non-correlated one.
Now any set function aggregated in outer context makes the subquery
correlated.
Shift the ID values up into a range where they will not collide with those
which we use for real data, when we fill the system tables.
Will be merged up to 5.0 where it is needed for 5.0.38.
To correctly decide which predicates can be evaluated with a given table
the optimizer must know the exact set of tables that a predicate depends
on. If that mask is too wide (refer to non-existing tables) the optimizer
can erroneously skip a predicate.
One such case of wrong table usage mask were the aggregate functions.
The have a all-1 mask (meaning depend on all tables, including non-existent
ones).
Fixed by making a real used_tables mask for the aggregates. The mask is
constructed in the following way :
1. OR the table dependency masks of all the arguments of the aggregate.
2. If all the arguments of the function are from the local name resolution
context and it is evaluated in the same name resolution
context where it is referenced all the tables from that name resolution
context are OR-ed to the dependency mask. This is to denote that an
aggregate function depends on the number of rows it processes.
3. Handle correctly the case of an aggregate function optimization (such that
the aggregate function can be pre-calculated and made a constant).
Made sure that an aggregate function is never a constant (unless subject of a
specific optimization and pre-calculation).
One other flaw was revealed and fixed in the process : references were
not calling the recalculation method for used_tables of their targets.
