Problem: Too confusing error message when cannot convert
between string and column character sets on INSERT and UPDATE.
Fix: producing a better error message, instead of "Data too long"
in such cases
Additional changes: Adding "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" into several
tests to be safe against failures in previous tests.
The STACK_MIN_SIZE is currently set to 8192, when we actually need
(emperically discovered) 9236 bytes to raise an fatal error, on Ubuntu
Dapper Drake, libc6 2.3.6-0ubuntu2, Linux kernel 2.6.15-27-686, on x86.
I'm taking that as a new lower bound, plus 100B of wiggle-room for sundry
word sizes and stack behaviors.
The added test verifies in a cross-platform way that there are no gaps
between the space that we think we need and what we actually need to report
an error.
DOCUMENTERS: This also adds "let" to the mysqltest commands that evaluate
an argument to expand variables therein. (Only right of the "=", of course.)
The patch affects only test suite and has the following changes:
1. On starting Instance Manager -- added code for waiting for guarded
mysqld instances to create PID files;
2. Polishing;
3. Move IM-related operations out of mtr_process.pl into new dedicated
for IM file -- mtr_im.pl
- BUG#15934: Instance manager fails to work;
- BUG#18020: IM connect problem;
- BUG#18027: IM: Server_ID differs;
- BUG#18033: IM: Server_ID not reported;
- BUG#21331: Instance Manager: Connect problems in tests;
The only test suite has been changed
(server codebase has not been modified).
User name (host name) has limit on length. The server code relies on these
limits when storing the names. The problem was that sometimes these limits
were not checked properly, so that could lead to buffer overflow.
The fix is to check length of user/host name in parser and if string is too
long, throw an error.
