There's currently no way of knowing the determinicity of an UDF.
And the optimizer and the sequence() UDFs were making wrong
assumptions about what the is_const member means.
Plus there was no implementation of update_system_tables()
causing the optimizer to overwrite the information returned by
the <udf>_init function.
Fixed by equating the assumptions about the semantics of
is_const and providing a implementation of update_used_tables().
Added a TODO item for the UDF API change needed to make a better
implementation.
Problem: passing a non-constant name to the NAME_CONST function results in a crash.
Fix: check the NAME_CONST name argument; return fake item type if we got
non-constant argument(s).
self-join
When doing DELETE with self-join on a MyISAM or MERGE table, it could
happen that a record being retrieved in join_read_next_same() has
already been deleted by previous iterations. That caused the engine's
index_next_same() method to fail with HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED error and
the whole DELETE query to be aborted with an error.
Fixed by suppressing the HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED error in
hy_myisam::index_next_same() and ha_myisammrg::index_next_same(). Since
HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED can only be returned by MyISAM, there is no point
in filtering this error in the SQL layer.

There was a difference in how UNIONs are handled
on top level and when in sub-query.
Because the rules for sub-queries were syntactically
allowing cases that are not currently supported by
the server we had crashes (this bug) or wrong results
(bug 32051).
Fixed by making the syntax rules for UNIONs match the
ones at top level.
These rules however do not support nesting UNIONs, e.g.
(SELECT a FROM t1 UNION ALL SELECT b FROM t2)
UNION
(SELECT c FROM t3 UNION ALL SELECT d FROM t4)
Supports for statements with nested UNIONs will be
added in a future version.
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK fails to properly detect write locked
tables when running under low priority updates.
The problem is that when trying to aspire a global read lock, the
reload_acl_and_cache() function fails to properly check if the thread
has a low priority write lock, which later my cause a server crash or
deadlock.
The solution is to simple check if the thread has any type of the
possible exclusive write locks.

SELECT ... GROUP BY bit field failed with an assertion if the
bit length of that field was not divisible by 8.
Problem: setting Item_func_rollup_const::null_value property to argument's null_value
before (without) the argument evaluation may result in a crash due to wrong null_value.
Fix: use is_null() to set Item_func_rollup_const::null_value instead as it evaluates
the argument if necessary and returns a proper value.
Index lookup does not always guarantee that we can
simply remove the relevant conditions from the WHERE
clause. Reasons can be e.g. conversion errors,
partial indexes etc.
The optimizer was removing these parts of the WHERE
condition without any further checking.
This leads to "false positives" when using indexes.
Fixed by checking the index reference conditions
(using WHERE) when using indexes with sub-queries.
Problem: we have CHECK TABLE options allowed (by accident?) for
ANALYZE/OPTIMIZE TABLE.
Fix: disable them.
Note: it might require additional fixes in 5.1/6.0
only on some occasions
Referencing an element from the SELECT list in a WHERE
clause is not permitted. The namespace of the WHERE
clause is the table columns only. This was not enforced
correctly when resolving outer references in sub-queries.
Fixed by not allowing references to aliases in a
sub-query in WHERE.
8bit escape characters, termination and enclosed characters
were silently ignored by SELECT INTO query, but LOAD DATA INFILE
algorithm is 8bit-clean, so data was corrupted during
encoding.
Loose index scan does the grouping so the temp table does
not need to do it, even when sorting.
Fixed by checking if the grouping is already done before
doing sorting and grouping in a temp table and do only
sorting.
This bug is actually two. The first one manifests itself on an EXPLAIN
SELECT query with nested subqueries that employs the filesort algorithm.
The whole SELECT under explain is marked as UNCACHEABLE_EXPLAIN to preserve
some temporary structures for explain. As a side-effect of this values of
nested subqueries weren't cached and subqueries were re-evaluated many
times. Each time buffer for filesort was allocated but wasn't freed because
freeing occurs at the end of topmost SELECT. Thus all available memory was
eaten up step by step and OOM event occur.
The second bug manifests itself on SELECT queries with conditions where
a subquery result is compared with a key field and the subquery itself also
has such condition. When a long chain of such nested subqueries is present
the stack overrun occur. This happens because at some point the range optimizer
temporary puts the PARAM structure on the stack. Its size if about 8K and
the stack is exhausted very fast.
Now the subselect_single_select_engine::exec function allows subquery result
caching when the UNCACHEABLE_EXPLAIN flag is set.
Now the SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select function calls the check_stack_overrun
function for stack checking purposes to prevent server crash.
SPATIAL key is fine actually, but the chk_key() function
mistakenly returns error. It tries to compare checksums
of btree and SPATIAL keys while the checksum for the SPATIAL isn't
calculated (always 0). Same thing with FULLTEXT keys is handled
using full_text_keys counter, so fixed by counting both
SPATIAL and FULLTEXT keys in that counter.
Comparison of a BIGINT NOT NULL column with a constant arithmetic
expression that evaluates to NULL caused error 1048: "Column '...'
cannot be null".
Made convert_constant_item() check if the constant expression is NULL
before attempting to store it in a field. Attempts to store NULL in a
NOT NULL field caused query errors.
Server failed in assert() when we tried to create a DECIMAL() temp field
with a scale of more than the allowed 30. Now we limit the scale to the
allowed maximum. A truncation warning is thrown as necessary.
