When setup_fields() function finds field named '*' it expands it to the list
of all table fields. It does so by checking that the first char of
field_name is '*', but it doesn't checks that the '* is the only char.
Due to this, when updating table with a field named like '*name', such field
is wrongly treated as '*' and expanded. This leads to making list of fields
to update being longer than list of the new values. Later, the fill_record()
function crashes by dereferencing null when there is left fields to update,
but no more values.
Added check in the setup_fields() function which ensures that the field
expanding will be done only when '*' is the only char in the field name.
Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT
INSERT ... SELECT with the same table on both sides (hidden
below a MERGE table) does now work by buffering the select result.
The duplicate detection works now after open_and_lock_tables()
on the locks.
I did not find a test case that failed without the change in
sql_update.cc. I made the change anyway as it should in theory
fix a possible MERGE table problem with multi-table update.
Initialized usable_keys from table->keys_in_use instead of ~0
in test_if_skip_sort_order(). It was possible that a disabled
index was used for sorting.
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".
Option to set environment variable MTR_BUILD_THREAD to a small
number, from what mysql-test-run calculate port numbers that
will not conflict with other runs with different thread num
DISTINCT wasn't optimized away and caused creation of tmp table in wrong
case. This result in integer overrun and running out of memory.
Fix backported from 4.1. Now if optimizer founds that in result be only 1
row it removes distinct.
When fixing Item_func_plus in ORDER BY clause field c is searched in all
opened tables, but because c is an alias it wasn't found there.
This patch adds a flag to select_lex which allows Item_field::fix_fields()
to look up in select's item_list to find aliased fields.
The problem was an ab-use of last_rkey_length.
Formerly we saved the packed key length (of the search key)
in this element. But in certain cases it got replaced by
the (packed) result key length.
Now we use a new element of MI_INFO to save the packed key
length of the search key.
Analyze table corrupts the state on
data_file_length, records, index_file_length...
by writing the shared state when there is an updated internal
state due to inserts or deletes
Fixed by synching the shared state with the internal state before
writing it to disk
Added test cases of 2 error cases and a normal case in new
analyze test case
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.
The problem: base_list::remove didn't modify base_list::last when removing
the last list element.
The fix: If we remove the last element, find the element before it (by walking
from the beginning of the list) and set base_list::last accordingly.
The list gets corrupted in both 4.0 and 4.1. There are no visible problems in
current 4.1 because current 4.1 doesn't call where_cond->fix_fields() after
constant propagation step.
Count null_bits separately from field offsets and adjust them in case of primary key parts.
(Previously a CREATE TABLE with a lot of null fields that was part of a primary key caused MySQL to wrongly count the number of bytes needed to store null bits)
This is a more complete bug fix for #6236
