The problem was that if after FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK the user
issued DROP/ALTER PROCEDURE/FUNCTION the operation would fail (as
expected), but after UNLOCK TABLE any attempt to execute the same
operation would lead to the error 1305 "PROCEDURE/FUNCTION does not
exist", and an attempt to execute any stored function will also fail.
This happened because under FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK we couldn't open
and lock mysql.proc table for update, and this fact was erroneously
remembered by setting mysql_proc_table_exists to false, so subsequent
statements believed that mysql.proc doesn't exist, and thus that there
are no functions and procedures in the database.
As a solution, we remove mysql_proc_table_exists flag completely. The
reason is that this optimization didn't work most of the time anyway.
Even if open of mysql.proc failed for some reason when we were trying to
call a function or a procedure, we were setting mysql_proc_table_exists
back to true to force table reopen for the sake of producing the same
error message (the open can fail for number of reasons). The solution
could have been to remember the reason why open failed, but that's a lot
of code for optimization of a rare case. Hence we simply remove this
optimization.
Remove some sql_print_error() calls which were triggered by user error (i.e., not server-level events at all).
Also, convert an sql_print_error -> sql_print_information for a non-error server event.
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.
when X.509 subject was required for a connect, we tested whether it was the right
one, but did not refuse the connexion if not. fixed.

There is an existing macros for initializing LEX_STRINGs
with constant strings -> C_STRING_WITH_LEN. Change existing code to use it.

Continued implementation of WL#1324 (table name to filename encoding)
The intermediate (not temporary) files of the new table
during ALTER TABLE was visible for SHOW TABLES. These
intermediate files are copies of the original table with
the changes done by ALTER TABLE. After all the data is
copied over from the original table, these files are renamed
to the original tables file names. So they are not temporary
files. They persist after ALTER TABLE, but just with another
name.
In 5.0 the intermediate files are invisible for SHOW TABLES
because all file names beginning with "#sql" were suppressed.
This failed since 5.1.6 because even temporary table names were
converted when making file names from them. The prefix became
converted to "@0023sql". Converting the prefix during SHOW TABLES
would suppress the listing of user tables that start with "#sql".
The solution of the problem is to continue the implementation of
the table name to file name conversion feature. One requirement
is to suppress the conversion for temporary table names.
This change is straightforward for real temporary tables as there
is a function that creates temporary file names.
But the generated path names are located in TMPDIR and have no
relation to the internal table name. This cannot be used for
ALTER TABLE. Its intermediate files need to be in the same
directory as the old table files. And it is necessary to be
able to deduce the same path from the same table name repeatedly.
Consequently the intermediate table files must be handled like normal
tables. Their internal names shall start with tmp_file_prefix
(#sql) and they shall not be converted like normal table names.
I added a flags parameter to all relevant functions that are
called from ALTER TABLE. It is used to suppress the conversion
for the intermediate table files.
The outcome is that the suppression of #sql in SHOW TABLES
works again. It does not suppress user tables as these are
converted to @0023sql on file level.
This patch does also fix ALTER TABLE ... RENAME, which could not
rename a table with non-ASCII characters in its name.
It does also fix the problem that a user could create a table like
`#sql-xxxx-yyyy`, where xxxx is mysqld's pid and yyyy is the thread
ID of some other thread, which prevented this thread from running
ALTER TABLE.
Some of the above problems are mentioned in Bug 1405, which can
be closed with this patch.
This patch does also contain some minor fixes for other forgotten
conversions. Still known problems are reported as bugs 21370,
21373, and 21387.
The fix is: if user has privileges to view fields and user has any
(insert,select,delete,update) privileges on underlying view
then 'show fields' and select from I_S.COLUMNS table are sucsessful.
