Re-execution of a parametrized prepared statement or a stored routine
with a SELECT that use LEFT JOIN with second table having only one row
could yield incorrect result.
The problem appeared only for left joins with second table having only
one row (aka const table) and equation conditions in ON or WHERE clauses
that depend on the argument passed. Once the condition was false for
second const table, a NULL row was created for it, and any field involved
got NULL-value flag, which then was never reset.
The cause of the problem was that Item_field::null_value could be set
without being reset for re-execution. The solution is to reset
Item_field::null_value in Item_field::cleanup().
statement that uses an aggregating IN subquery with
HAVING clause.
A wrong order of the call of split_sum_func2 for the HAVING
clause of the subquery and the transformation for the
subquery resulted in the creation of a andor structure
that could not be restored at an execution of the prepared
statement.
dropping/creating tables".
The bug could lead to a crash when multi-delete statements were
prepared and used with temporary tables.
The bug was caused by lack of clean-up of multi-delete tables before
re-execution of a prepared statement. In a statement like
DELETE t1 FROM t1, t2 WHERE ... the first table list (t1) is
moved to lex->auxilliary_table_list and excluded from lex->query_tables
or select_lex->tables. Thus it was unaccessible to reinit_stmt_before_use
and not cleaned up before re-execution of a prepared statement.

Bug#18444 "Fully qualified stored function names don't work correctly in
SELECT statements"
Documentation note: this patch introduces a change in behaviour of prepared
statements.
This patch adds a few new invariants with regard to how THD::db should
be used. These invariants should be preserved in future:
- one should never refer to THD::db by pointer and always make a deep copy
(strmake, strdup)
- one should never compare two databases by pointer, but use strncmp or
my_strncasecmp
- TABLE_LIST object table->db should be always initialized in the parser or
by creator of the object.
For prepared statements it means that if the current database is changed
after a statement is prepared, the database that was current at prepare
remains active. This also means that you can not prepare a statement that
implicitly refers to the current database if the latter is not set.
This is not documented, and therefore needs documentation. This is NOT a
change in behavior for almost all SQL statements except:
- ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME t2
- OPTIMIZE TABLE t1
- ANALYZE TABLE t1
- TRUNCATE TABLE t1 --
until this patch t1 or t2 could be evaluated at the first execution of
prepared statement.
CURRENT_DATABASE() still works OK and is evaluated at every execution
of prepared statement.
Note, that in stored routines this is not an issue as the default
database is the database of the stored procedure and "use" statement
is prohibited in stored routines.
This patch makes obsolete the use of check_db_used (it was never used in the
old code too) and all other places that check for table->db and assign it
from THD::db if it's NULL, except the parser.
How this patch was created: THD::{db,db_length} were replaced with a
LEX_STRING, THD::db. All the places that refer to THD::{db,db_length} were
manually checked and:
- if the place uses thd->db by pointer, it was fixed to make a deep copy
- if a place compared two db pointers, it was fixed to compare them by value
(via strcmp/my_strcasecmp, whatever was approproate)
Then this intermediate patch was used to write a smaller patch that does the
same thing but without a rename.
TODO in 5.1:
- remove check_db_used
- deploy THD::set_db in mysql_change_db

supported in SP but not in PS": just enable them in prepared
statements, the supporting functionality was implemented when
they were enabled in stored procedures.
too many open statements". The patch adds a new global variable
@@max_prepared_stmt_count. This variable limits the total number
of prepared statements in the server. The default value of
@@max_prepared_stmt_count is 16382. 16382 small statements
(a select against 3 tables with GROUP, ORDER and LIMIT) consume
100MB of RAM. Once this limit has been reached, the server will
refuse to prepare a new statement and return ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR
(unfortunately, we can't add new errors to 4.1 without breaking 5.0). The limit is changeable after startup
and can accept any value from 0 to 1 million. In case
the new value of the limit is less than the current
statement count, no new statements can be added, while the old
still can be used. Additionally, the current count of prepared
statements is now available through a global read-only variable
@@prepared_stmt_count.
gives wrong results". Implement previously missing
Item_row::cleanup. The bug is not repeatable in 5.0, probably
due to a coincidence: the problem is present in 5.0 as well.
column is increasing when table is recreated with PS/SP":
make use of create_field::char_length more consistent in the code.
Reinit create_field::length from create_field::char_length
for every execution of a prepared statement (actually fixes the
bug).
CREATE TABLE and PS/SP": make sure that 'typelib' object for
ENUM values and 'Item_string' object for DEFAULT clause are
created in the statement memory root.
of system vars at PREPARE time": implement a special Item
to handle system variables. This item substitutes itself with
a basic constant containing variable value at fix_fields.
data": remove the fix for another bug (8807) that
added OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT to all subqueries that used a placeholder
to prevent their evaluation at prepare. As this bit hanged in
Item_subselect::used_tables_cache for ever, a constant subquery with
a placeholder was never evaluated as such, which caused wrong
choice of the execution plan for the statement.
- to fix Bug#8807 backport a better fix from 5.0
- post-review fixes.
