The result of the CHECK OPTION condition evaluation over an
updated record and records of merged tables was arbitrary and
dependant on the order of records in the merged tables during
the execution of SELECT statement.
The CHECK OPTION expression was evaluated over expired record
buffers (with arbitrary data in the fields).
Rowids of tables used in the CHECK OPTION expression were
added to temporary table rows. The multi_update::do_updates()
method was modified to restore necessary record buffers
before evaluation of the CHECK OPTION condition.
If a stored function or a trigger was killed it had aborted but no error
was thrown. This allows the caller statement to continue without a notice.
This may lead to a wrong data being inserted/updated to/deleted as in such
cases the correct result of a stored function isn't guaranteed. In the case
of triggers it allows the caller statement to ignore kill signal and to
waste time because of re-evaluation of triggers that always will fail
because thd->killed flag is still on.
Now the Item_func_sp::execute() and the sp_head::execute_trigger() functions
check whether a function or a trigger were killed during execution and
throws an appropriate error if so.
Now the fill_record() function stops filling record if an error was reported
through thd->net.report_error.
When processing the USE/FORCE index hints
the optimizer was not checking if the indexes
specified are enabled (see ALTER TABLE).

mode.
When a new DATE/DATETIME field without default value is being added by the
ALTER TABLE the '0000-00-00' value is used as the default one. But it wasn't
checked whether such value was allowed by the set sql mode. Due to this
'0000-00-00' values was allowed for DATE/DATETIME fields even in the
NO_ZERO_DATE mode.
Now the mysql_alter_table() function checks whether the '0000-00-00' value
is allowed for DATE/DATETIME fields by the set sql mode.
The new error_if_not_empty flag is used in the mysql_alter_table() function
to indicate that it should abort if the table being altered isn't empty.
The new new_datetime_field field is used in the mysql_alter_table() function
for error throwing purposes.
The new error_if_not_empty parameter is added to the copy_data_between_tables()
function to indicate the it should return error if the source table isn't empty.
my_decimal in some cases can contain more decimal digits than
is officially supported (DECIMAL_MAX_PRECISION), so we need to
prepare bigger buffer for the resulting string.
is involved.
The Arg_comparator::compare_datetime() comparator caches its arguments if
they are constants i.e. const_item() returns true. The
Item_func_get_user_var::const_item() returns true or false based on
the current query_id and the query_id where the variable was created.
Thus even if a query can change its value its const_item() still will return
true. All this leads to a wrong comparison result when an object of the
Item_func_get_user_var class is involved.
Now the Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates() and the
get_datetime_value() functions never cache result of the GET_USER_VAR()
function (the Item_func_get_user_var class).
Conversion errors when constructing the condition for an
IN predicates were treated as if the affected column contains
NULL. If such a IN predicate is inside NOT we get wrong
results.
Corrected the handling of conversion errors in an IN predicate
that is resolved by unique_subquery (through
subselect_uniquesubquery_engine).

Bug#21483 "Server abort or deadlock on INSERT DELAYED with another
implicit insert"
Also fixes and adds test cases for bugs:
20497 "Trigger with INSERT DELAYED causes Error 1165"
21714 "Wrong NEW.value and server abort on INSERT DELAYED to a
table with a trigger".
Post-review fixes.
Problem:
In MySQL INSERT DELAYED is a way to pipe all inserts into a
given table through a dedicated thread. This is necessary for
simplistic storage engines like MyISAM, which do not have internal
concurrency control or threading and thus can not
achieve efficient INSERT throughput without support from SQL layer.
DELAYED INSERT works as follows:
For every distinct table, which can accept DELAYED inserts and has
pending data to insert, a dedicated thread is created to write data
to disk. All user connection threads that attempt to
delayed-insert into this table interact with the dedicated thread in
producer/consumer fashion: all records to-be inserted are pushed
into a queue of the dedicated thread, which fetches the records and
writes them.
In this design, client connection threads never open or lock
the delayed insert table.
This functionality was introduced in version 3.23 and does not take
into account existence of triggers, views, or pre-locking.
E.g. if INSERT DELAYED is called from a stored function, which,
in turn, is called from another stored function that uses the delayed
table, a deadlock can occur, because delayed locking by-passes
pre-locking. Besides:
* the delayed thread works directly with the subject table through
the storage engine API and does not invoke triggers
* even if it was patched to invoke triggers, if triggers,
in turn, used other tables, the delayed thread would
have to open and lock involved tables (use pre-locking).
* even if it was patched to use pre-locking, without deadlock
detection the delayed thread could easily lock out user
connection threads in case when the same table is used both
in a trigger and on the right side of the insert query:
the delayed thread would not release locks until all inserts
are complete, and user connection can not complete inserts
without having locks on the tables used on the right side of the
query.
Solution:
These considerations suggest two general alternatives for the
future of INSERT DELAYED:
* it is considered a full-fledged alternative to normal INSERT
* it is regarded as an optimisation that is only relevant
for simplistic engines.
Since we missed our chance to provide complete support of new
features when 5.0 was in development, the first alternative
currently renders infeasible.
However, even the second alternative, which is to detect
new features and convert DELAYED insert into a normal insert,
is not easy to implement.
The catch-22 is that we don't know if the subject table has triggers
or is a view before we open it, and we only open it in the
delayed thread. We don't know if the query involves pre-locking
until we have opened all tables, and we always first create
the delayed thread, and only then open the remaining tables.
This patch detects the problematic scenarios and converts
DELAYED INSERT to a normal INSERT using the following approach:
* if the statement is executed under pre-locking (e.g. from
within a stored function or trigger) or the right
side may require pre-locking, we detect the situation
before creating a delayed insert thread and convert the statement
to a conventional INSERT.
* if the subject table is a view or has triggers, we shutdown
the delayed thread and convert the statement to a conventional
INSERT.
in the case of the overflow in the decimal->integer conversion
we didn't return the proper boundary value, but just the result
of the conversion we calculated on the moment of the error
function.
A wrong condition was used to check that the
Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates() function calculated the value of the
string constant. When comparing a non-const STRING function with a constant
DATETIME function it leads to saving an arbitrary value as a cached value of
the DATETIME function.
Now the Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func() function initializes the const_value
variable to the impossible DATETIME value (-1) and this const_value is
cached only if it was changed by the Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates()
function.
to NULL
For queries of the form SELECT MIN(key_part_k) FROM t1
WHERE key_part_1 = const and ... and key_part_k-1 = const,
the opt_sum_query optimization tries to
use an index to substitute MIN/MAX functions with their values according
to the following rules:
1) Insert the minimum non-null values where the WHERE clause still matches, or
3) A row of nulls
However, the correct semantics requires that there is a third case 2)
such that a NULL value is substituted if there are only NULL values for
key_part_k.
The patch modifies opt_sum_query() to handle this missing case.
for a query over an empty table right after its creation.
The crash is the result of an attempt made by JOIN::optimize to evaluate
the WHERE condition when no records have been actually read.
The added test case can reproduce the crash only with InnoDB tables and
only with 5.0.x.
statement from a UNION query with ORDER BY an expression containing
RAND().
The crash happened because the global order by list in the union query
was not re-initialized for execution.
(Local order by lists were re-initialized though).
a crash when the left operand of the predicate is evaluated to NULL.
It happens when the rows from the inner tables (tables from the subquery)
are accessed by index methods with key values obtained by evaluation of
the left operand of the subquery predicate. When this predicate is
evaluated to NULL an alternative access with full table scan is used
to check whether the result set returned by the subquery is empty or not.
The crash was due to the fact the info about the access methods used for
regular key values was not properly restored after a switch back from the
full scan access method had occurred.
The patch restores this info properly.
The same problem existed for queries with IN subquery predicates if they
were used not at the top level of the queries.
database.
If a user has a right to update anything in the current database then the
access was granted and further checks of access rights for underlying tables
wasn't done correctly. The check is done before a view is opened and thus no
check of access rights for underlying tables can be carried out.
This allows a user to update through a view a table from another database for
which he hasn't enough rights.
Now the mysql_update() and the mysql_test_update() functions are forces
re-checking of access rights after a view is opened.
Bug #20662 "Infinite loop in CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT
with locked tables"
Bug #20903 "Crash when using CREATE TABLE .. SELECT and triggers"
Bug #24738 "CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is not isolated properly"
Bug #24508 "Inconsistent results of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT when
temporary table exists"
Deadlock occured when one tried to execute CREATE TABLE IF NOT
EXISTS ... SELECT statement under LOCK TABLES which held
read lock on target table.
Attempt to execute the same statement for already existing
target table with triggers caused server crashes.
Also concurrent execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement
and other statements involving target table suffered from
various races (some of which might've led to deadlocks).
Finally, attempt to execute CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in case
when a temporary table with same name was already present
led to the insertion of data into this temporary table and
creation of empty non-temporary table.
All above problems stemmed from the old implementation of CREATE
TABLE ... SELECT in which we created, opened and locked target
table without any special protection in a separate step and not
with the rest of tables used by this statement.
This underminded deadlock-avoidance approach used in server
and created window for races. It also excluded target table
from prelocking causing problems with trigger execution.
The patch solves these problems by implementing new approach to
handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for base tables.
We try to open and lock table to be created at the same time as
the rest of tables used by this statement. If such table does not
exist at this moment we create and place in the table cache special
placeholder for it which prevents its creation or any other usage
by other threads.
We still use old approach for creation of temporary tables.
Also note that we decided to postpone introduction of some tests
for concurrent behaviour of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT till 5.1.
The main reason for this is absence in 5.0 ability to set @@debug
variable at runtime, which can be circumvented only by using several
test files with individual .opt files. Since the latter is likely
to slowdown test-suite unnecessary we chose not to push this tests
into 5.0, but run them manually for this version and later push
their optimized version into 5.1
