crashes MySQL 5.122
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.
strmake() calls are easy to get wrong. Add checks in extra
debug mode to identify possible exploits.
Remove some dead code.
Remove some off-by-one errors identified with new checks.
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.
is_last_prefix <= 0, file .\opt_range.cc.
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.
Bug#31567 "datadict" tests (all engines) fail:
Reference protocol is non-standard build
Bug#30418 "datadict" tests (all engines) fail:
Dependency on the host name for ordering
Modifications:
1. The standard builds (build team) do not contain
the collation 'utf8_general_cs'.
The common developer builds (compuile-....-max)
contain this collation.
Solution fitting to both build variants:
Exclude the collation 'utf8_general_cs' from
result sets.
2. Use mysqltest builtin sorting of result set for
the statement where the hostname affects the
row order.
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
