Problem was that partitioning cached the table flags.
These flags could change due to TRANSACTION LEVEL changes.
Solution was to remove the cache and always return the table flags
from the first partition (if the handler was initialized).
upgrade from <=5.0.46 to >=5.0.48
Problem: 'check table .. for upgrade' doesn't detect
incompatible collation changes made in 5.0.48.
Fix: check for incompatible collation changes.
InnoDB Plugin locks table
This is a pre fix update that does the change to the handler api.
This is done since there are already changes in this version,
so the real fix does not need to change the api.
"Trigger fired multiple times leads to gaps in auto_increment sequence".
The bug was that if a trigger fired multiple times inside a top
statement (for example top-statement is a multi-row INSERT,
and trigger is ON INSERT), and that trigger inserted into an auto_increment
column, then gaps could be observed in the auto_increment sequence,
even if there were no other users of the database (no concurrency).
It was wrong usage of THD::auto_inc_intervals_in_cur_stmt_for_binlog.
Note that the fix changes "class handler", I'll tell the Storage Engine API team.
InnoDB Plugin locks table
The fast/on-line add/drop index handler calls was not implemented
whithin the partitioning.
This implements it in the partitioning handler.
Since this is only used by the not included InnoDB plugin, there
is no test case. (Have tested it manually with the plugin, and
it does not allow unique indexes not including partitioning
function, or removal of pk, which in innodb generates a new pk,
which is not in the partitioning function.)
NOTE: This introduces a new handler method, and because of that
changes the storage engine api. (One cannot use a handlerton to
see the capabilities of a table's handler if it is partitioned.
So I added a wrapper function in the handler that defaults to
the handlerton function, which the partitioning handler overrides.
Problem was a mutex added in bug n 27405 for solving a problem
with auto_increment in partitioned innodb tables.
(in ha_partition::write_row over partitions file->ha_write_row)
Solution is to use the patch for bug#33479, which refines the
usage of mutexes for auto_increment.
Backport of bug-33479 from 6.0:
Bug-33479: auto_increment failures in partitioning
Several problems with auto_increment in partitioning
(with MyISAM, InnoDB. Locking issues, not handling
multi-row INSERTs properly etc.)
Changed the auto_increment handling for partitioning:
Added a ha_data variable in table_share for storage engine specific data
such as auto_increment value handling in partitioning, also see WL 4305
and using the ha_data->mutex to lock around read + update.
The idea is this:
Store the table's reserved auto_increment value in
the TABLE_SHARE and use a mutex to, lock it for reading and updating it
and unlocking it, in one block. Only accessing all partitions
when it is not initialized.
Also allow reservations of ranges, and if no one has done a reservation
afterwards, lower the reservation to what was actually used after
the statement is done (via release_auto_increment from WL 3146).
The lock is kept from the first reservation if it is statement based
replication and a multi-row INSERT statement where the number of
candidate rows to insert is not known in advance (like INSERT SELECT,
LOAD DATA, unlike INSERT VALUES (row1), (row2),,(rowN)).
This should also lead to better concurrancy (no need to have a mutex
protection around write_row in all cases)
and work with any local storage engine.
partition is corrupt
The main problem was that ALTER TABLE t ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR
PARTITION took another code path (over mysql_alter_table instead of
mysql_admin_table) which differs in two ways:
1) alter table opens the tables in a different way than admin tables do
resulting in returning with error before it tried the command
2) alter table does not start to send any diagnostic rows to the client
which the lower admin functions continue to use -> resulting in
assertion crash
The fix:
Remapped ALTER TABLE t ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR PARTITION to use
the same code path as ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR TABLE t.
Adding check in mysql_admin_table to setup the partition list for
which partitions that should be used.
Partitioned tables will still not work with
REPAIR TABLE/PARTITION USE_FRM, since that requires moving partitions
to tables, REPAIR TABLE t USE_FRM, and check that the data still
fulfills the partitioning function and then move the table back to
being a partition.
NOTE: I have removed the following functions from the handler
interface:
analyze_partitions, check_partitions, optimize_partitions,
repair_partitions
Since they are not longer needed.
THIS ALTERS THE STORAGE ENGINE API
a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem".
The idea of the fix is to ensure that we always commit the current
statement at the end of dispatch_command(). In order to not issue
redundant disc syncs, an optimization of the two-phase commit
protocol is implemented to bypass the two phase commit if
the transaction is read-only.
called from a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of state"
Make private all class handler methods (PSEA API) that may modify
data. Introduce and deploy public ha_* wrappers for these methods in
all sql/.
This necessary to keep track of all data modifications in sql/,
which is in turn necessary to be able to optimize two-phase
commit of those transactions that do not modify data.
that the entire server uses their public ha_* counterparts instead,
since only then we can ensure proper tracing of these calls that
is necessary for Bug#12713.
A pre-requisite for Bug#12713 "Error in a stored function called from
a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem"
The patch for Bug 26379 (Combination of FLUSH TABLE and
REPAIR TABLE corrupts a MERGE table) fixed this bug too.
However it revealed a new bug that crashed the server.
Flushing a merge table at the moment when it is between open
and attach of children crashed the server.
The flushing thread wants to abort locks on the flushed table.
It calls ha_myisammrg::lock_count() and ha_myisammrg::store_lock()
on the TABLE object of the other thread.
Changed ha_myisammrg::lock_count() and ha_myisammrg::store_lock()
to accept non-attached children. ha_myisammrg::lock_count() returns
the number of MyISAM tables in the MERGE table so that the memory
allocation done by get_lock_data() is done correctly, even if the
children become attached before ha_myisammrg::store_lock() is
called. ha_myisammrg::store_lock() will not return any lock if the
children are not attached.
This is however a change in the handler interface. lock_count()
can now return a higher number than store_lock() stores locks.
This is more safe than the reverse implementation would be.
get_lock_data() in the SQL layer is adjusted accordingly. It sets
MYSQL_LOCK::lock_count based on the number of locks returned by
the handler::store_lock() calls, not based on the numbers returned
by the handler::lock_count() calls. The latter are only used for
allocation of memory now.
No test case. The test suite cannot reliably run FLUSH between
lock_count() and store_lock() of another thread. The bug report
contains a program that can repeat the problem with some
probability.

Bug #27417 thd->no_trans_update.stmt lost value inside of SF-exec-stack
Once had been set the flag might later got reset inside of a stored routine
execution stack.
The reason was in that there was no check if a new statement started at time
of resetting.
The artifact affects most of binlogable DML queries. Notice, that multi-update
is wrapped up within
bug@27716 fix, multi-delete bug@29136.
Fixed with saving parent's statement flag of whether the statement modified
non-transactional table, and unioning (merging) the value with that was gained
in mysql_execute_command.
Resettling thd->no_trans_update members into thd->transaction.`member`;
Asserting code;
Effectively the following properties are held.
1. At the end of a substatement thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table
reflects the fact if such a table got modified by the substatement.
That also respects THD::really_abort_on_warnin() requirements.
2. Eventually thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table will be computed as
the union of the values of all invoked sub-statements.
That fixes this bug#27417;
Computing of thd->transaction.all.modified_non_trans_table is refined to base to
the stmt's value for all the case including insert .. select statement which
before the patch had an extra issue bug@28960.
Minor issues are covered with mysql_load, mysql_delete, and binloggin of insert in
to temp_table select.
The supplied test verifies limitely, mostly asserts. The ultimate testing is defered
for bug@13270, bug@23333.
between perm and temp tables. Review fixes.
The original bug report complains that if we locked a temporary table
with LOCK TABLES statement, we would not leave LOCK TABLES mode
when this temporary table is dropped.
Additionally, the bug was escalated when it was discovered than
when a temporary transactional table that was previously
locked with LOCK TABLES statement was dropped, futher actions with
this table, such as UNLOCK TABLES, would lead to a crash.
The problem originates from incomplete support of transactional temporary
tables. When we added calls to handler::store_lock()/handler::external_lock()
to operations that work with such tables, we only covered the normal
server code flow and did not cover LOCK TABLES mode.
In LOCK TABLES mode, ::external_lock(LOCK) would sometimes be called without
matching ::external_lock(UNLOCK), e.g. when a transactional temporary table
was dropped. Additionally, this table would be left in the list of LOCKed
TABLES.
The patch aims to address this inadequacy. Now, whenever an instance
of 'handler' is destroyed, we assert that it was priorly
external_lock(UNLOCK)-ed. All the places that violate this assert
were fixed.
This patch introduces no changes in behavior -- the discrepancy in
behavior will be fixed when we start calling ::store_lock()/::external_lock()
for all tables, regardless whether they are transactional or not,
temporary or not.
Bug#25422 (Hang with log tables)
Bug 17876 (Truncating mysql.slow_log in a SP after using cursor locks the
thread)
Bug 23044 (Warnings on flush of a log table)
Bug 29129 (Resetting general_log while the GLOBAL READ LOCK is set causes
a deadlock)
Prior to this fix, the server would hang when performing concurrent
ALTER TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE statements against the LOG TABLES,
which are mysql.general_log and mysql.slow_log.
The root cause traces to the following code:
in sql_base.cc, open_table()
if (table->in_use != thd)
{
/* wait_for_condition will unlock LOCK_open for us */
wait_for_condition(thd, &LOCK_open, &COND_refresh);
}
The problem with this code is that the current implementation of the
LOGGER creates 'fake' THD objects, like
- Log_to_csv_event_handler::general_log_thd
- Log_to_csv_event_handler::slow_log_thd
which are not associated to a real thread running in the server,
so that waiting for these non-existing threads to release table locks
cause the dead lock.
In general, the design of Log_to_csv_event_handler does not fit into the
general architecture of the server, so that the concept of general_log_thd
and slow_log_thd has to be abandoned:
- this implementation does not work with table locking
- it will not work with commands like SHOW PROCESSLIST
- having the log tables always opened does not integrate well with DDL
operations / FLUSH TABLES / SET GLOBAL READ_ONLY
With this patch, the fundamental design of the LOGGER has been changed to:
- always open and close a log table when writing a log
- remove totally the usage of fake THD objects
- clarify how locking of log tables is implemented in general.
See WL#3984 for details related to the new locking design.
Additional changes (misc bugs exposed and fixed):
1)
mysqldump which would ignore some tables in dump_all_tables_in_db(),
but forget to ignore the same in dump_all_views_in_db().
2)
mysqldump would also issue an empty "LOCK TABLE" command when all the tables
to lock are to be ignored (numrows == 0), instead of not issuing the query.
3)
Internal errors handlers could intercept errors but not warnings
(see sql_error.cc).
4)
Implementing a nested call to open tables, for the performance schema tables,
exposed an existing bug in remove_table_from_cache(), which would perform:
in_use->some_tables_deleted=1;
against another thread, without any consideration about thread locking.
This call inside remove_table_from_cache() was not required anyway,
since calling mysql_lock_abort() takes care of aborting -- cleanly -- threads
that might hold a lock on a table.
This line (in_use->some_tables_deleted=1) has been removed.
A race condition in the integration between MyISAM and the query cache code
caused the query cache to fail to invalidate itself on concurrently inserted
data.
This patch fix this problem by using the existing handler interface which, upon
each statement cache attempt, compare the size of the table as viewed from the
cache writing thread and with any snap shot of the global table state. If the
two sizes are different the global table size is unknown and the current
statement can't be cached.
Add more accessors to MySQL internals in mysql/plugin.h, for storage
engine plugins.
Add some accessors specific to the InnoDB storage engine, to allow
InnoDB to be compiled as a plugin (without MYSQL_SERVER). InnoDB
has additional requirements, due to its foreign key support, etc.
when index_init() or rnd_init() return an error, we still set
handler->inited to INDEX or RND in ha_index_init and ha_rnd_init.
As caller doesn't call ha_*_end() in this case, we get DBUG_ASSERT
failed.
replication):
Patch to add binlog format capabilities to the InnoDB storage engine.
The engine will not allow statement format logging when in READ COMMITTED
or READ UNCOMMITTED transaction isolation level.
In addition, an error is generated when trying to use READ COMMITTED
or READ UNCOMMITTED transaction isolation level in STATEMENT binlog
mode.
Moving code to check storage engine capabilities to after tables
are locked. Moving code to cache table flags so that table flags
are read from the storage engine at the beginning of the statement
in addition to when the storage engine is opened.
To handle CREATE-SELECT, the decision function is called after the
table is created and it is called with all tables that are in the select
part of the statement as well as the newly created table.
Adding support to allow engines to tell what formats they can handle.
The server will generate an error if it is not possible to log the
statement according to the logging mode in effect.
Adding flags to several storage engines to state what they can handle.
Changes to NDB handler removing code that forces row-based mode and
adding flag saying that NDB can only handle row format.
Adding check that binlog flags are only used for real tables that are
opened for writing.
Bug #23667 "CREATE TABLE LIKE is not isolated from alteration
by other connections"
Bug #18950 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not obtain LOCK_open"
As well as:
Bug #25578 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not require any privileges
on source table".
The first and the second bugs resulted in various errors and wrong
binary log order when one tried to execute concurrently CREATE TABLE LIKE
statement and DDL statements on source table or DML/DDL statements on its
target table.
The problem was caused by incomplete protection/table-locking against
concurrent statements implemented in mysql_create_like_table() routine.
We solve it by simply implementing such protection in proper way.
Most of actual work for 5.1 was already done by fix for bug 20662 and
preliminary patch changing locking in ALTER TABLE.
The third bug allowed user who didn't have any privileges on table create
its copy and therefore circumvent privilege check for SHOW CREATE TABLE.
This patch solves this problem by adding privilege check, which was missing.
Finally it also removes some duplicated code from mysql_create_like_table()
and thus fixes bug #26869 "TABLE_LIST::table_name_length inconsistent with
TABLE_LIST::table_name".

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
ARCHIVE table
ARCHIVE table was truncated by REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM statement.
The table handler returned its file name extensions in a wrong order.
REPAIR TABLE believed it has to use the meta file to create a new table
from it.
With the fixed order, REPAIR TABLE does now use the data file to create
a new table. So REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM works well with ARCHIVE engine
now.
This issue affects 5.0 only, since in 5.1 ARCHIVE engine stores meta
information and data in the same file.
The problem was that some facilities (like CONVERT_TZ() function or
server HELP statement) may require implicit access to some tables in
'mysql' database. This access was done by ordinary means of adding
such tables to the list of tables the query is going to open.
However, if we issued LOCK TABLES before that, we would get "table
was not locked" error trying to open such implicit tables.
The solution is to treat certain tables as MySQL system tables, like
we already do for mysql.proc. Such tables may be opened for reading
at any moment regardless of any locks in effect. The cost of this is
that system table may be locked for writing only together with other
system tables, it is disallowed to lock system tables for writing and
have any other lock on any other table.
After this patch the following tables are treated as MySQL system
tables:
mysql.help_category
mysql.help_keyword
mysql.help_relation
mysql.help_topic
mysql.proc (it already was)
mysql.time_zone
mysql.time_zone_leap_second
mysql.time_zone_name
mysql.time_zone_transition
mysql.time_zone_transition_type
These tables are now opened with open_system_tables_for_read() and
closed with close_system_tables(), or one table may be opened with
open_system_table_for_update() and closed with close_thread_tables()
(the latter is used for mysql.proc table, which is updated as part of
normal MySQL server operation). These functions may be used when
some tables were opened and locked already.
NOTE: online update of time zone tables is not possible during
replication, because there's no time zone cache flush neither on LOCK
TABLES, nor on FLUSH TABLES, so the master may serve stale time zone
data from cache, while on slave updated data will be loaded from the
time zone tables.
"Server Variables for Plugins"

Bug #21785 "Server crashes after rename of the log table" and
Bug #21966 "Strange warnings on create like/repair of the log
tables"
According to the patch, from now on, one should use RENAME to
perform a log table rotation (this should also be reflected in
the manual).
Here is a sample:
use mysql;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS general_log2 LIKE general_log;
RENAME TABLE general_log TO general_log_backup, general_log2 TO general_log;
The rules for Rename of the log tables are following:
IF 1. Log tables are enabled
AND 2. Rename operates on the log table and nothing is being
renamed to the log table.
DO 3. Throw an error message.
ELSE 4. Perform rename.
The very RENAME query will go the the old (backup) table. This is
consistent with the behavoiur we have with binlog ROTATE LOGS
statement.
Other problems, which are solved by the patch are:
1) Now REPAIR of the log table is exclusive operation (as it should be), this
also eliminates lock-related warnings. and
2) CREATE LIKE TABLE now usese usual read lock on the source table rather
then name lock, which is too restrictive. This way we get rid of another
log table-related warning, which occured because of the above fact
(as a side-effect, name lock resulted in a warning).
and so the engine calls current_thd to derive transaction information;
instead we now pass THD to those functions, it looks more logical
(it makes the implicit current_thd parameter more visible).
Approved by Brian and Monty.
Bug #18559 "log tables cannot change engine, and
gets deadlocked when dropping w/ log on":
1) Add more generic error messages
2) Add new handlerton flag for engines, which support
log tables
3) Remove (log-tables related) mutex lock in myisam to
improve performance
Only MyISAM tables locked with LOCK TABLES ... WRITE were affected.
A query that is optimized with index_merge doesn't reflect rows
inserted within LOCK TABLES.
MyISAM doesn't flush a state within LOCK TABLES. index_merge
optimization creates a copy of the handler, which thus gets
outdated MyISAM state.
New handler->clone() method is introduced to fix this problem.
For non-MyISAM storage engines it allocates a handler and opens
it with ha_open(). For MyISAM it additionally copies MyISAM state
pointer to cloned handler.
