The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.
strmov() is not guaranteed to work correctly on overlapping
source and destination buffers. On some OSes it may work,
but Fedora 12 has a stpcpy() that's not working correctly
on overlapping buffers.
Fixed to use the overlap-safe version of strmov instead.
Re-vitalized the overlap-safe version of strmov.
"mysql_upgrade (ver 5.1) add 3 fields to mysql.proc table but does
not set values".
mysql_upgrade (ver 5.1) adds 3 fields (character_set_client,
collation_connection and db_collation) to the mysql.proc table, but
does not set any values. When we run stored procedures, which were
created with mysql 5.0, a warning is logged into the error log.
The solution to this is for mysql_upgrade to set default best guess
values for these fields. A warning is also written during upgrade, to
make the user aware that default values are set.
mysql client displays wrong character-set of server. When a user changes the
charset of a server, mysql client 'status' command displays wrong charset but
the command "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%charset%" displayed correct charset results.
The problem is only with the mysql client's 'status' command output.
In mysql client, the method mysql_store_lazy_result() returns 0 for
success and non-zero for failure. The method com_status() was using this method
wrongly. Fixed all such instances according to return value of the method
mysql_store_lazy_result().
When starting the (5.1+) mysql command-line client, we try to get
"select @@version_comment" from the server to present it to the
user. Recent clients are aware that older servers do not have that
variable and fall back on other info to be able to present *something*
at least. This fallback string was allocated through the POSIX interface,
but released through the my*() suite, which rightfully complained about
the imbalance in calls when compiled with --debug. While this wasn't
as bad as it looked (no double-free, use of uninitialized or freed
buffer, etc.), it did look funky.
Using my_strdup() now for what will be my_free()d later.
The reason for the bug is that mysqtest as well as other client tools
running in test suite (mysqlbinlog, mysqldump) will first try to connect
whatever database has created shared memory with default base name
"MySQL" and use this. (Same effect could be seen on Unix if mtr would
not care to calculate "port" and "socket" parameter).
The fix ensures that all client tools and running in mtr use unique
per-database shared memory base parameters, so there is no possibility
to clash with already installed one. We use socket name for shared memory
base (it's known to be unique). This shared-memory-base is written to the
MTR config file to the [client] and [mysqld] sections. Fix made also made
sure all client tools understand and correctly handle --shared-memory-base.
Prior to this patch it was not the case for mysqltest, mysqlbinlog and
mysql_client_test.
All new connections done from mtr scripts via connect() will by default
set shared-memory-base. And finally, there is a possibility to force
shared memory or pipe connection and overwrite shared memory/pipe base name
from within mtr scripts via optional PIPE or SHM modifier. This functionality
was manually backported from 6.0
(original patch http://lists.mysql.com/commits/74749)
If a thread is killed in the server, we throw "shutdown" only if one is actually in
progress; otherwise, we throw "query interrupted".
Control-C in the mysql command-line client is "incremental" now.
First Control-C sends KILL QUERY (when connected to 5.0+ server, otherwise, see next)
Next Control-C sends KILL CONNECTION
Next Control-C aborts client.
As the first two steps only pertain to an existing query,
Control-C will abort the client right away if no query is running.
client will give more detailed/consistent feedback on Control-C now.
There are some problems about help text:
- It is stated that "auto" is the default twice. It need be stated only once.
- It is stated that --base64-output is short for --base64-output=always. But that sounds
like the default is "always", not "auto".
Make the help text clear as following:
Determine when the output statements should be base64-encoded BINLOG
statements: 'never' disables it and works only for binlogs without
row-based events; 'auto' prints base64 only when necessary (i.e.,
for row-based events and format description events); 'always' prints
base64 whenever possible. 'always' is for debugging only and should
not be used in a production system. If this argument is not given,
the default is 'auto'; if it is given with no argument, 'always' is used.
The 'BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK' log event could be filtered out if the
database is not selected by --database option of mysqlbinlog command.
This can result in problem if there are some statements in the
transaction are not filtered out.
To fix the problem, mysqlbinlog will output 'BEGIN/ROLLBACK/COMMIT'
in regardless of the database filtering rules.

All statements executed by mysql_upgrade are binlogged and then are replicated to slave.
This will result in some errors. The report of this bug has demonstrated some examples.
Master and slave should be upgraded separately. All statements executed by
mysql_upgrade will not be binlogged.
--write-binlog and --skip-write-binlog options are added into mysql_upgrade.
These options control whether sql statements are binlogged or not.
Option "--without-server" still not working in 5.1
The general approach is to make sure that source files
which require thread support are only compiled if the build
really needs thread support,
which means when the server is built or a thread-safe client
library.
This required several changes:
- Make sure the subdirectories "storage/" and "plugin/" are
only processed if the server is built, not ifclient-only.
- Make the compilation of some modules which inherently
require threading depend on thread supportin the build.
- Separate the handling of threading in "configure.in" from
that of server issues, threading is also needed in a
non-server build of a thread-safe client library.
Also, "libdbug" must get built even in a client-only build,
so "dbug/" must be in the list of client directories.
In addition, calls to thread functions in source files which
can be built without thread support must use the wrapper
functions which handle the non-threaded build.
So the modules "client/mysqlimport.c" and "client/mysqlslap.c"
must call "my_thread_end()" only via "mysql_thread_end()".
CREATE TABLE...LIKE...
The mysql server option 'sync_frm' is ignored when table is created with
syntax CREATE TABLE .. LIKE..
Fixed by adding the MY_SYNC flag and calling my_sync() from my_copy() when
the flag is set.
In mysql_create_table(), when the 'sync_frm' is set, MY_SYNC flag is passed
to my_copy().
Note: TestCase is not attached and can be tested manually using debugger.
a "if"
Bug #41913 mysqltest cannot source files from if inside while
Some commands require additional processing which only works first time
Keep content for write_file or append_file with the st_command struct
Add tests for those cases to mysqltest.test
