CONSTRAINT.
Analysis
=======
INSERT and UPDATE operations using the IGNORE keyword which
causes FOREIGN KEY constraint violations reports an error
despite using the IGNORE keyword.
Foreign key violation errors were not ignored and reported
as errors instead of warnings even when IGNORE was set.
Fix
===
Added code to ignore the foreign key violation errors and
report them as warnings when the IGNORE keyword is used.
Problem was that created table was not marked as used (not set query_id) and so opening tables for stored function pick it up (as opened place holder for it) and used changing TABLE internals.
The select mentioned in the bug attempted to create a temporary table
using the maria storage engine. The table needs to have primary keys such that
duplicates can be removed. Unfortunately this use case has a longer
than allowed key and the tmp table got created without a temporary key.
We must not allow materialization for the subquery if the total key
length and key parts is greater than what the storage engine supports.
When one evaluates row-based comparison like (X, Y) = (A,B), one should
first call bring_value() for the Item that returns row value. If you
don't do that and just attempt to read values of X and Y, you get stale
values.
Semi-join/Materialization can take a row-based comparison apart and
make ref access from it. In that case, we need to call bring_value()
to get the index lookup components.
Consider a query with subquery in form t.key=(select ...). Suppose, the
parent query uses this equality for ref access.
It will attempt to evaluate the subquery in get_best_combination(),
right before the join->join_tab[...] array is filled. The problem was
that subquery optimization will attempt to look at parent's join->join_tab
to check how many times subquery will be executed (and crash).
Fixed by not doing that when the subquery is constant (non-constant
subqueries are only be evaluated during join execution, so they are not
affected)
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(STR_TO_DATE('201506', "%Y%M"
Issue:
-----
When an invalid date is supplied to the UNIX_TIMESTAMP
function from STR_TO_DATE, no check is performed before
converting it to a timestamp value.
SOLUTION:
---------
Add the check_date function and only if it succeeds,
proceed to the timestamp conversion.
No warning will be returned for dates having zero in
month/date, since partial dates are allowed. UNIX_TIMESTAMP
will return only a zero for such values.
The problem has been handled in 5.6+ with WL#946.
Item_func_coalesce::fix_length_and_dec() calls
Item_func::count_string_result_length()) which called agg_arg_charsets()
with wrong flags, so the collation derivation of the COALESCE result was
not properly set to DERIVATION_COERCIBLE. It erroneously stayed
DERIVATION_NUMERIC. So GREATEST() misinterpreted the argument as
a number rather that a string and did not calculate its own length properly.
mysqldump --routine fails to dump databases containing backslash ("\")
character. This happened because escaped database name was being used as an
identifier while changing current database. Such identifers are not supposed
to be escaped, they must be properly quoted instead.
MDEV-8938 Server Crash on Update with joins
Make unique table check after setup_fields of update because unique table can materialize table and we do not need field resolving after materialization.
===========
When doing an upgrade, you execute mysql_upgrade. If
mysql_upgrade fails to connect or it connects with a user
without the proper privileges, it will return the error:
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
which is not very informative.
ANALYSIS
========
In main() and check_version_match(), the condition for
errors are clubbed together and throw the same error msg.
The functions need to be splitted up and the corresponding
error msgs have to be displayed.
FIX
===
Splitted the functions and added the specific error msg.
Issue: main.events_1 will fail after 10-10-2015 due
to hardcoded dates specified with events.
Fix: Replace harcoded dates with current dates and offset.
IMPLEMENTED IN ALL CLIENT PROGRAMS
Description: Option "enable-cleartext-plugin" is not
available for the following client utilities:-
mysqldump
mysqlimport
mysqlshow
mysqlcheck
Analysis: The unavailability of this option limits the
features like PAM authentication from using the above
mentioned utilities.
Fix: Option "enable-cleartext-plugin" is implemented in the
above mentioned client utilities.
When CHANGE MASTER was executed as a PS, its attributes were wrongly
getting reset toward the end of PREPARE. As a result, the subsequent
executions had no effect. Fixed by making sure that the CHANGE MASTER
attributes are preserved during the lifetime of the PS.
Problem was in rewriting left expression which had 2 references on it. Solved with making subselect reference main.
Item_in_optimized can have not Item_in_subselect reference in left part so type casting with no check is dangerous.
Item::cols() should be checked after Item::fix_fields().
FILE
PROBLEM
In 5.5 when doing doing a rename of a column ,we ignore the case between
old and new column names while comparing them,so if the change is just
the case then we don't even mark the field FIELD_IS_RENAMED ,we just update
the frm file ,but don't recreate the table as is the norm when alter is
used.This leads to inconsistency in the innodb data dictionary which causes
index creation to fail.
FIX
According to the documentation any innodb column rename should trigger
rebuild of the table. Therefore for innodb tables we will do a strcmp()
between the column names and if there is case change in column name
we will trigger a rebuild.
PROBLEMS
Description:- Server variable "--lower_case_tables_names"
when set to "0" on windows platform which does not support
case sensitive file operations leads to problems. A warning
message is printed in the error log while starting the
server with "--lower_case_tables_names=0". Also according to
the documentation, seting "lower_case_tables_names" to "0"
on a case-insensitive filesystem might lead to index
corruption.
Analysis:- The problem reported in the bug is:-
Creating an INNODB table 'a' and executing a query, "INSERT
INTO a SELECT a FROM A;" on a server started with
"--lower_case_tables_names=0" and running on a
case-insensitive filesystem leads innodb to flat spin.
Optimizer thinks that "a" and "A" are two different tables
as the variable "lower_case_table_names" is set to "0". As a
result, optimizer comes up with a plan which does not need a
temporary table. If the same table is used in select and
insert, a temporary table is needed. This incorrect
optimizer plan leads to infinite insertions.
Fix:- If the server is started with
"--lower_case_tables_names" set to 0 on a case-insensitive
filesystem, an error, "The server option
'lower_case_table_names'is configured to use case sensitive
table names but the data directory is on a case-insensitive
file system which is an unsupported combination. Please
consider either using a case sensitive file system for your
data directory or switching to a case-insensitive table name
mode.", is printed in the server error log and the server
exits.
DESCRIPTION
===========
Inability of mysql LOAD XML command to handle empty XML
tags i.e. <row><tag/></row>. Also the behaviour is wrong
and (different than above) when there is a space in empty
tag i.e. <row><tag /></row>
ANALYSIS
========
In read_xml() the case where we encounter a close tag ('/')
we're decreasing the 'level' blindly which is wrong.
Actually when its an without-space-empty-tag (succeeding
char is '>'), we need to skip the decrement. In other words
whenever we hit a close tag ('/'), decrease the 'level'
only when (i) It's not an (without space) empty tag i.e.
<tag/> or, (ii) It is of format <row col="val" .../>
FIX
===
The switch case for '/' is modified. We've removed the
blind decrement of 'level'. We do it only when its not an
without-space-empty-tag. Also we are setting 'in_tag' to
false to let program know that we're done reading current
tag (required in the case of format <row col="val" .../>)
VIEW
It appears that the code refactoring done as part of the
patch for the MySQL BUG#11749859 fixed this issue. This
issue is not reproducible on MySQL 5.5+ versions now.
As part of this patch, the test file "mysqldump.test" has
been updated to remove the comment which was referring to
the bug and also the line which suppresses the warning.
Analysis :
==========
During JOIN::prepare of sub-query which creates the
derived tables we call setup_procedure. Here we call
fix_fields for parameters of procedure clause. Calling
setup_procedure at this point may cause issue. If
sub-query is one of parameter being fixed it might
lead to complicated dependencies on derived tables
being prepared.
SOLUTION :
==========
In 5.6 with WL#6242, we have made procedure clause
parameters can only be NUM, so sub-queries are not
allowed as parameters. So in 5.5 we can block
sub-queries in procedure clause parameters.
This eliminates above conflicting dependencies.
THD::>save_prep_leaf_list was set to true by multi-table update
statements with mergeable selects and never reset.
Make every statement reset it at start.
