Coding style: classes start with a capital letter.
Rename some classes related to parsing:
create_field -> Create_field
foreign_key -> Foreign_key
key_part_spec -> Key_part_spec
a temporary table has grown out of heap memory reserved for it and
the remaining disk space is not big enough to store the table as
a MyISAM table.
The crash happens because the function create_myisam_from_heap
does not handle safely the mem_root structure associated
with the converted table in the case when an error has occurred.
using a derived table over a grouping subselect.
This crash happens only when materialization of the derived tables
requires creation of auxiliary temporary table, for example when
a grouping operation is carried out with usage of a temporary table.
The crash happened because EXPLAIN EXTENDED when printing the query
expression made an attempt to use the objects created in the mem_root
of the temporary table which has been already freed by the moment
when printing is called.
This bug appeared after the method Item_field::print() had been
introduced.
Problem:
HASH indexes on VARCHAR columns with binary collations did not ignore trailing spaces from strings before comparisons. This could result in duplicate records being successfully inserted into a MEMORY table with unique key constraints.
As a direct consequence of the above, internal MEMORY tables used for GROUP BY calculation in testcases for bug #27643 contained duplicate rows which resulted in duplicate key errors when converting those temporary tables to MyISAM. Additionally, that error was incorrectly converted to the 'table is full' error.
Solution:
- ignore trailing spaces in VARCHAR fields with binary collations when calculating hashes.
- return a proper error from create_myisam_from_heap() when conversion fails.
mysqld crashed when a long-running explain query was killed from
another connection.
When the current thread caught a kill signal executing the function
best_extension_by_limited_search it just silently returned to
the calling function greedy_search without initializing elements of
the join->best_positions array.
However, the greedy_search function ignored thd->killed status
after a calls to the best_extension_by_limited_search function, and
after several calls the greedy_search function used an uninitialized
data from the join->best_positions[idx] to search position in the
join->best_ref array.
That search failed, and greedy_search tried to call swap_variables
function with NULL argument - that caused a crash.
Integer values with 10 digits may or may not fit into an int column
(e.g. 2147483647 vs 6147483647).
Thus when creating a temp table column for such an int we must
use bigint instead.
Fixed to use bigint.
Also subsituted a "magic number" with a named constant.
constant outer tables did not return null complemented
rows when conditions were evaluated to FALSE.
Wrong results were returned because the conditions over constant
outer tables, when being pushed down, were erroneously enclosed
into the guard function used for WHERE conditions.
CHECK OPTION and a subquery in WHERE condition.
The abort was triggered by setting the value of join->tables for
subqueries in the function JOIN::cleanup. This function was called
after an invocation of the JOIN::join_free method for subqueries
used in WHERE condition.
The problem reported is a compile bug,
reported by the development GCC team with GCC 4.2.
The original issue can no longer be reproduced in MySQL 5.1,
since the configure script no longer define HAVE_ATOMIC_ADD,
which caused the Linux atomic functions to be used (and cause a problem
with an invalid cast).
This patch implements some code cleanup for 5.1 only, which was identified
during the investigation of this issue.
With this patch, statistics maintained in THD::status_var are by definition
owned by the running thread, and do not need to be protected against race
conditions. These statistics are maintained by the status_var_* helpers,
which do not require any lock.
When processing the USE/FORCE index hints
the optimizer was not checking if the indexes
specified are enabled (see ALTER TABLE).
Fixed by:
Backporting the fix for bug 20604 to 5.0
for a query over an empty table right after its creation.
The crash is the result of an attempt made by JOIN::optimize to evaluate
the WHERE condition when no records have been actually read.
The added test case can reproduce the crash only with InnoDB tables and
only with 5.0.x.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
- added join cache indication in EXPLAIN (Extra column).
- prefer filesort over full scan over
index for ORDER BY (because it's faster).
- when switching from REF to RANGE because
RANGE uses longer key turn off sort on
the head table only as the resulting
RANGE access is a candidate for join cache
and we don't want to disable it by sorting
on the first table only.
When checking for applicability of join cache
we must disable its usage only if there is no
temp table in use.
When a temp table is used we can use join
cache (and it will not make the result-set
unordered) to fill the temp table. The filesort()
operation is then applied to the data in the temp
table and hence is not affected by join cache
usage.
Fixed by narrowing the condition for disabling
join cache to exclude the case where temp table
is used.
