tables' lock."
Execution of ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE KEYS on a table (which can take rather
long time) prevented concurrent execution of all statements using tables.
The problem was caused by the fact that we were holding LOCK_open mutex
during whole duration of this statement and particularly during call
to handler::enable_indexes(). This behavior was introduced as part of the
fix for bug 14262 "SP: DROP PROCEDURE|VIEW (maybe more) write to binlog
too late (race cond)"
The patch simply restores old behavior. Note that we can safely do this as
this operation takes exclusive lock (similar to name-lock) which blocks both
DML and DDL on the table being altered.
It also introduces mysql-test/include/wait_show_pattern.inc helper script
which is used to make test-case for this bug robust enough.
After fix for bug#21798 JOIN stores the pointer to the buffer for sorting
fields. It is used while sorting for grouping and for ordering. If ORDER BY
clause has more elements then the GROUP BY clause then a memory overrun occurs.
Now the length of the ORDER BY list is always passed to the
make_unireg_sortorder() function and it allocates buffer big enough to be
used for bigger list.
Fixed compiler warnings.
In set_var.cc, the code was not properly returning an error code
if close_cached_tables() failed.
In sql_tables.cc, the code was not returning properly an error code
if lock_table_names() failed.
Both cases are bugs, introduced in 5.1 only by recent changes.
with other alterations causes lost tables
Using RENAME clause combined with other clauses of ALTER TABLE led to
data loss (the data was there but not accessible). This could happen if the
changes do not change the table much. Adding and droppping of fields and
indices was safe. Renaming a column with MODIFY or CHANGE was unsafe operation,
if the actual column didn't change (changing from int to int, which is a noop)
Depending on the storage engine (SE) the behavior is different:
1)MyISAM/MEMORY - the ALTER TABLE statement completes
without any error but next SELECT against the new table fails.
2)InnoDB (and every other transactional table) - The ALTER TABLE statement
fails. There are the the following files in the db dir -
`new_table_name.frm` and a temporary table's frm. If the SE is file
based, then the data and index files will be present but with the old
names. What happens is that for InnoDB the table is not renamed in the
internal DDIC.
Fixed by adding additional call to mysql_rename_table() method, which should
not include FRM file rename, because it has been already done during file
names juggling.
- Removed not used variables
- Changed some ulong parameters/variables to ulonglong (possible serious bug)
- Added casts to get rid of safe assignment from longlong to long (and similar)
- Added casts to function parameters
- Fixed signed/unsigned compares
- Added some constructores to structures
- Removed some not portable constructs
Better fix for bug Bug #21428 "skipped 9 bytes from file: socket (3)" on "mysqladmin shutdown"
(Added new parameter to net_clear() to define when we want the communication buffer to be emptied)
ALTER TABLE DISABLE KEYS doesn't work when modifying the table
ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with another ALTER TABLE option, different
than RENAME TO did nothing. Also, if the table had disabled keys
and was ALTER-ed then the end table was with enabled keys.
Fixed by checking whether the table had disabled keys and enabling them
in the copied table.
Added missing DBUG_RETURN statements (in mysqldump.c)
Added missing enums
Fixed a lot of wrong DBUG_PRINT() statements, some of which could cause crashes
Removed usage of %lld and %p in printf strings as these are not portable or produces different results on different systems.
(this is the 5.0 patch, because 4.1 differs)
There was an improper order of doing chained operations.
To the documentor: ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with RENAME TO, and no other
ALTER TABLE clause, leads to server crash independent of the presence of
indices and data in the table.

This is a performance issue for queries with subqueries evaluation
of which requires filesort.
Allocation of memory for the sort buffer at each evaluation of a
subquery may take a significant amount of time if the buffer is rather big.
With the fix we allocate the buffer at the first evaluation of the
subquery and reuse it at each subsequent evaluation.
