Remove wrong fix for Bug#14397 - OPTIMIZE TABLE with an open HANDLER causes a crash
Safety fix for bug #13855 "select distinct with group by caused server crash"
Version for 4.0.
It fixes two problems:
1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
for this problem "the primary bug fix".
2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
Though the function comment clearly said it must.
I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".
1.) Added a new option to mysql_lock_tables() for ignoring FLUSH TABLES.
Used the new option in create_table_from_items().
It is necessary to prevent the SELECT table from being reopend.
It would get new storage assigned for its fields, while the
SELECT part of the command would still use the old (freed) storage.
2.) Protected the CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... SELECT commands
against a global read lock. This prevents a deadlock in
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in conjunction with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
and avoids the creation of new tables during a global read lock.
3.) Replaced set_protect_against_global_read_lock() and
unset_protect_against_global_read_lock() by
wait_if_global_read_lock() and start_waiting_global_read_lock()
in the INSERT DELAYED handling.
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Fixed problems detected on Windows build by VC++.
Removed unused variables.
Applied a neccessary cast.
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Reworked the HANDLER functions and interface.
Using a HASH to store information on open tables that
survives FLUSH TABLE.
HANDLER tables alias names must now be unique, though it
is allowed in 4.0 to qualify them with the database name
of the base table.
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
Added more DBUG statements
Ensure that we are comparing end space with BINARY strings
Use 'any_db' instead of '' to mean any database. (For HANDLER command)
Only strip ' ' when comparing CHAR, not other space-like characters (like \t)
