causes out of memory errors
The code in mysql_create_function() and mysql_drop_function() assumed
that the only reason for UDFs being uninitialized at that point is an
out-of-memory error during initialization. However, another possible
reason for that is the --skip-grant-tables option in which case UDF
initialization is skipped and UDFs are unavailable.
The solution is to check whether mysqld is running with
--skip-grant-tables and issue a proper error in such a case.
if --skip-grant-tables specified.
The problem is that there is a check that prevents creating a definer
with empty host name.
In --skip-grant-tables mode this check prevents the user from creating a
trigger/view without explicitly specifying its definer. This happens, because
in --skip-grant-tables mode CURRENT_USER is ''@''. According to Sanja this
check was implemented intentionally.
However, according to the MySQL manual it is possible to specify empty host
name (as well as empty user name). Moreover, the behaviour for stored routines
is different in this aspect -- we allow them to be created with implicit
definer.
Based on this, we believe it is OK to change the behaviour for views to be
similar with the behaviour for stored routines.
--skip-grant-tables. However when deleting functions UDFs list was checked
regardless of whther UDFs are initialized or not. Additional check is added
into free_udf() and find_udf() functions to prevent possible runtime errors.
- Dont perform automatic privilege handling for stored procedures when server is started --skip-grant-tables
- Renamed view_skip_grants to skip_grants and added test cases for this
