The syntax of the CALL statement, to invoke a stored procedure, has been
changed to make the use of parenthesis optional in the argument list.
With this change, "CALL p;" is equivalent to "CALL p();".
While the SQL spec does not explicitely mandate this syntax, supporting it
is needed for practical reasons, for integration with JDBC / ODBC connectors.
Also, warnings in the sql/sql_yacc.yy file, which were not reported by Bison 2.1
but are now reported by Bison 2.2, have been fixed.
The warning found were:
bison -y -p MYSQL -d --debug --verbose sql_yacc.yy
sql_yacc.yy:653.9-18: warning: symbol UNLOCK_SYM redeclared
sql_yacc.yy:656.9-17: warning: symbol UNTIL_SYM redeclared
sql_yacc.yy:658.9-18: warning: symbol UPDATE_SYM redeclared
sql_yacc.yy:5169.11-5174.11: warning: unused value: $2
sql_yacc.yy:5208.11-5220.11: warning: unused value: $5
sql_yacc.yy:5221.11-5234.11: warning: unused value: $5
conflicts: 249 shift/reduce
"unused value: $2" correspond to the $$=$1 assignment in the 1st {} block
in table_ref -> join_table {} {},
which does not procude a result ($$) for the rule but an intermediate $2
value for the action instead.
"unused value: $5" are similar, with $$ assignments in {} actions blocks
which are not for the final reduce.
The problem was a race condition in a test case.
The fix eliminates the race condition by explicit
wait on UNIX socket to start accepting connections.
The patch affects only test suite (i.e. does not touch
server codebase).
Non-upper-level INSERTs (the ones in the body of stored procedure,
stored function, or trigger) into a table that have AUTO_INCREMENT
column didn't affected the result of LAST_INSERT_ID() on this level.
The problem was introduced with the fix of bug 6880, which in turn was
introduced with the fix of bug 3117, where current insert_id value was
remembered on the first call to LAST_INSERT_ID() (bug 3117) and was
returned from that function until it was reset before the next
_upper-level_ statement (bug 6880).
The fix for bug#21726 brings back the behaviour of version 4.0, and
implements the following: remember insert_id value at the beginning
of the statement or expression (which at that point equals to
the first insert_id value generated by the previous statement), and
return that remembered value from LAST_INSERT_ID() or @@LAST_INSERT_ID.
Thus, the value returned by LAST_INSERT_ID() is not affected by values
generated by current statement, nor by LAST_INSERT_ID(expr) calls in
this statement.
Version 5.1 does not have this bug (it was fixed by WL 3146).
On an INSERT into an updatable but non-insertable view an error message was
issued stating the view being not updatable. This can lead to a confusion of a
user.
A new error message is introduced. Is is showed when a user tries to insert
into a non-insertable view.
create_tmp_table()".
The fix for bug 21787 "COUNT(*) + ORDER BY + LIMIT returns wrong
result" introduced valgrind warnings which occured during execution
of information_schema.test and sp-prelocking.test in version 5.0.
There were no user visible effects.
The latter fix made create_tmp_table() dependant on
THD::lex::current_select value. Valgrind warnings occured when this
function was executed and THD::lex::current_select member pointed
to uninitialized SELECT_LEX instance.
This fix tries to remove this dependancy by moving some logic
outside of create_tmp_table() function.
Crash may happen when selecting from a merge table that has underlying
tables with less indexes than in a merge table itself.
If number of keys in merge table is not bigger than requested key number,
return error.
If mysqld is linked against system installed zlib (which is likely compiled w/o
LFS) and archive table exceedes 2G, mysqld will likely be terminated with SIGXFSZ.
Prior to actual write perform a check if there is space in data file. This fixes
abnormal process termination with SIGXFSZ.
No test case for this bugfix.
Deletes on a big index could crash the index when it needs to
shrink.
Put a forgotten negation operator in.
No test case. It is too big for the test suite. And it does not
work with 4.0, only with higher versions. It is attached to the
bug report.
There was possible stack overrun in an edge case which handles invalid body of
a SP in mysql.proc . That should be case when mysql.proc has been changed
manually. Though, due to bug 21513, it can be exploited without having access
to mysql.proc only being able to create a stored routine.
