The Item_func_rollup_const class is used for wrapping constants to avoid
wrong result for ROLLUP queries with DISTINCT and a constant in the select
list. This class is also used to wrap up a NULL constant but its null_value
wasn't set accordingly. This led to a server crash.
Now the null_value of an object of the Item_func_rollup_const class is set
by its fix_length_and_dec member function.
mysqldump adds the "-- Dump completed on YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" string
to the end of output if the --comments switch is on.
The only way to suppress this line is to use --skip-comments/--compact
switch.
New switch has been added to the mysqldump client command line:
--dump-date.
For the compatibility with previous releases, by default the --dump-date
is on.
The --dump-date switch forces mysqldump to add date to the
"-- Dump completed on ..." string at the end of output.
The --skip-dump-date switch supresses the output of date string
and uses short form of that commentary: "-- Dump completed".
--skip-comments or --compact switches disable the whole commentary
as usual.
The NAME_CONST function is required to work correctly with constants only.
When executed with functions that return types other than those returned by
Item::field_type (string, int, decimal, or real), the result gets cast to
one of those types. This cannot happen for constants.
Fixed by only allowing constants as arguments to NAME_CONST.
When calculating the result length of an integer DIV function
the number of decimals was used without checking the result type
first. Thus an uninitialized number of decimals was used for some
types. This caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated
for the field's buffer and crashed the server.
Fixed by using the number of decimals only for data types that
can have decimals and thus have valid decimals number.
When expanding a * in a USING/NATURAL join the check for table access
for both tables in the join was done using the grant information of the
first one.
Fixed by getting the grant information for the current table while
iterating through the columns of the join.
When storing the VIEW the CREATE VIEW command is reconstructed
from the parse tree. While constructing the command string
the index hints specified should also be printed.
Fixed by adding code to print the index hints when printing a
table in the FROM clause.
type of the result.
There are several functions that accept parameters of different types.
The result field type of such functions was determined based on
the aggregated result type of its arguments. As the DATE and the DATETIME
types are represented by the STRING type, the result field type
of the affected functions was always STRING for DATE/DATETIME arguments.
The affected functions are COALESCE, IF, IFNULL, CASE, LEAST/GREATEST, CASE.
Now the affected functions aggregate the field types of their arguments rather
than their result types and return the result of aggregation as their result
field type.
The cached_field_type member variable is added to the number of classes to
hold the aggregated result field type.
The str_to_date() function's result field type now defaults to the
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME.
The agg_field_type() function is added. It aggregates field types with help
of the Field::field_type_merge() function.
The create_table_from_items() function now uses the
item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function to get the proper field
when the item is a function with a STRING result type.
led to creating corrupted index.
While execution of the CREATE .. SELECT SQL_BUFFER_RESULT statement the
engine->start_bulk_insert function was called twice. On the first call
On the first call MyISAM disabled all non-unique indexes and on the second
call it decides to not re-enable them because all indexes was disabled.
Due to this no indexes was actually created during CREATE TABLE thus
producing crashed table.
Now the select_inset class has is_bulk_insert_mode flag which prevents
calling the start_bulk_insert function twice.
The flag is set in the select_create::prepare, select_insert::prepare2
functions and the select_insert class constructor.
The flag is reset in the select_insert::send_eof function.
clean up SHOW GRANTS so it will show host-names with case as entered.
make REVOKE and friends case-sensitive to make things more intuitive.
Patch by Martin Friebe.
Non-definer of a view was allowed to alter that view. Due to this the alterer
can elevate his access rights to access rights of the view definer and thus
modify data which he wasn't allowed to modify. A view defined with
SQL SECURITY INVOKER can't be used directly for access rights elevation.
But a user can first alter the view SQL code and then alter the view to
SQL SECURITY DEFINER and thus elevate his access rights. Due to this
altering a view with SQL SECURITY INVOKER is also prohibited.
Now the mysql_create_view function allows ALTER VIEW only to the view
definer or a super user.
added get_field_default_value() function which obtains default value from the field
(used in store_create_info() & get_schema_column_record() functions)
The optimizer sets index traversal in reverse order only if there are
used key parts that are not compared to a constant.
However using the primary key as an ORDER BY suffix rendered the check
incomplete : going in reverse order must still be used even if
all the parts of the secondary key are compared to a constant.
Fixed by relaxing the check and set reverse traversal even when all
the secondary index keyparts are compared to a const.
Also account for the case when all the primary keys are compared to a
constant.
- The bug was caused by COUNT(DISTINCT ...) code using Unique object in
a way that assumed that BIT(N) column occupies a contiguous space in
temp_table->record[0] buffer.
- The fix is to make COUNT(DISTINCT ...) code instruct create_tmp_table to
create temporary table with column of type BIGINT, not BIT(N).
