The REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM query silently corrupts data of tables
with old .FRM file version.
The mysql_upgrade client program or the REPAIR TABLE query (without
the USE_FRM clause) can't prevent this trouble, because in the
common case they don't upgrade .FRM file to compatible structure.
1. Evaluation of the REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM query has been
modified to reject such tables with the message:
"Failed repairing incompatible .FRM file".
2. REPAIR TABLE query (without USE_FRM clause) evaluation has been
modified to upgrade .FRM files to current version.
3. CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE query evaluation has been modified
to return error status when .FRM file has incompatible version.
4. mysql_upgrade and mysqlcheck client programs call CHECK TABLE
FOR UPGRADE and REPAIR TABLE queries, so their behaviors have
been changed too to upgrade .FRM files with incompatible
version numbers.
myisam_sort_buffer_size.
An incorrect length of the sort buffer was used when calculating the
maximum number of keys. When myisam_sort_buffer_size is small enough,
this could result in the number of keys < number of
BUFFPEK structures which in turn led to use of uninitialized BUFFPEKs.
Fixed by correcting the buffer length calculation.
Repair table could crash a server if there is not sufficient
memory (myisam_sort_buffer_size) to operate. Affects not only
repair, but also all statements that use create index by sort:
repair by sort, parallel repair, bulk insert.
Return an error if there is not sufficient memory to store at
least one key per BUFFPEK.
Also fixed memory leak if thr_find_all_keys returns an error.
hangs on Linux
If REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM is issued for table that is located in different
than default database server crash could happen.
In reopen_name_locked_table take database name from table_list (user specified
or default database) instead of from thd (default database).
Affects 4.1 only.
Use 0x.... as strings if 'new' mode. (bug 152)
Don't report -max on windows when InnoDB is enabled. (bug 332)
Reset current_linfo; This could cause a hang when doing PURGE LOGS.
Fix for row numbers in EXPLAIN (bug 322)
Fix that USE_FRM works for all table types (bug 97)
