AsText() needs to know the maximum number of
characters a IEEE double precision value can
occupy to make sure there's enough buffer space.
The number was too small to hold all possible
values and this caused buffer overruns.
Fixed by correcting the calculation of the
maximum digits in a string representation of an
IEEE double precision value as printed by
String::qs_append(double).
This bug was introduced by the fix for the bug#27300. In this fix a section
of code was added to the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method.
This section intended to create Field_geom fields for the Item_geometry_func
class and its descendants. In order to get the geometry type of the current
item it casted "this" to the Item_geometry_func* type. But the
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method is also used for creation of
fields for UNION and in this case this method is called for an object of the
Item_type_holder class and the cast to the Item_geometry_func* type causes
a server crash.
Now the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method correctly works when it's
called for both the Item_type_holder and the Item_geometry_func classes.
The new geometry_type variable is added to the Item_type_holder class.
The new method called get_geometry_type is added to the Item_field
and the Field classes. It returns geometry type from the field for the
Item_field and the Field_geom classes and fails an assert for other Field
descendants.
Geometry fields have a result type string and a
special subclass to cater for the differences
between them and the base class (just like
DATE/TIME).
When creating temporary tables for results of
functions that return results of type GEOMETRY
we must construct fields of the derived class
instead of the base class.
Fixed by creating a GEOMETRY field (Field_geom)
instead of a generic BLOB (Field_blob) in temp
tables for the results of GIS functions that
have GEOMETRY return type (Item_geometry_func).
to 0 causes wrong (large) length to be read
from the row in _mi_calc_blob_length() when
storing NULL values in (e.g) POINT columns.
This large length is then used to allocate
a block of memory that (on some OSes) causes
trouble.
Fixed by calling the base class's
Field_blob::reset() from Field_geom::reset()
that is called when storing a NULL value into
the column.
Fix is to rewrite the MBR::overlaps() function, to compute the dimension of both
arguments, and the dimension of the intersection; test that all three dimensions are the
same (e.g., all are Polygons).
Add tests for all MBR* functions for various combinations of shapes, lines and points.
Having maybe_null flag unset for geometry/spatial functions leads to
wrong Item_func_isnull::val_int()'s results.
Fix: set maybe_null flag and add is_null() methods.
The problem is that the GEOMETRY NOT NULL can't automatically set
any value as a default one. We always tried to complete LOAD DATA
command even if there's not enough data in file. That doesn't work
for GEOMETRY NOT NULL. Now Field_*::reset() returns an error sign
and it's checked in mysql_load()
When a default of '' was specified for TEXT/BLOB columns, the specification
was silently ignored. This is presumably to be nice to applications (or
people) who generate their column definitions in a not-very-clever fashion.
For clarity, doing this now results in a warning, or an error in strict
mode.
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.
The idea is to add DEFINER-clause in CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION
statements. Almost all support of definer in stored routines had been already
done before this patch.
NOTE: this patch changes behaviour of dumping stored routines in mysqldump.
Before this patch, mysqldump did not dump DEFINER-clause for stored routines
and this was documented behaviour. In order to get full information about stored
routines, one should have dumped mysql.proc table. This patch changes this
behaviour, so that DEFINER-clause is dumped.
Since DEFINER-clause is not supported in CREATE PROCEDURE | FUNCTION statements
before this patch, the clause is covered by additional version-specific comments.
More tests.
Better error messages.
Fixed bug when checking if we updated all needed columns for INSERT.
Give an error if we encounter a wrong float value during parsing.
Don't print DEFAULT for columns without a default value in SHOW CREATE/SHOW FIELDS.
Fixed UPDATE IGNORE when using STRICT mode.
This bug is the result of weird error happening with mi_float8get and double
arythmetic. I described that in 'Bug that looks potentially dangerous' email
