type of the result.
There are several functions that accept parameters of different types.
The result field type of such functions was determined based on
the aggregated result type of its arguments. As the DATE and the DATETIME
types are represented by the STRING type, the result field type
of the affected functions was always STRING for DATE/DATETIME arguments.
The affected functions are COALESCE, IF, IFNULL, CASE, LEAST/GREATEST, CASE.
Now the affected functions aggregate the field types of their arguments rather
than their result types and return the result of aggregation as their result
field type.
The cached_field_type member variable is added to the number of classes to
hold the aggregated result field type.
The str_to_date() function's result field type now defaults to the
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME.
The agg_field_type() function is added. It aggregates field types with help
of the Field::field_type_merge() function.
The create_table_from_items() function now uses the
item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function to get the proper field
when the item is a function with a STRING result type.
led to creating corrupted index.
While execution of the CREATE .. SELECT SQL_BUFFER_RESULT statement the
engine->start_bulk_insert function was called twice. On the first call
On the first call MyISAM disabled all non-unique indexes and on the second
call it decides to not re-enable them because all indexes was disabled.
Due to this no indexes was actually created during CREATE TABLE thus
producing crashed table.
Now the select_inset class has is_bulk_insert_mode flag which prevents
calling the start_bulk_insert function twice.
The flag is set in the select_create::prepare, select_insert::prepare2
functions and the select_insert class constructor.
The flag is reset in the select_insert::send_eof function.
Non-definer of a view was allowed to alter that view. Due to this the alterer
can elevate his access rights to access rights of the view definer and thus
modify data which he wasn't allowed to modify. A view defined with
SQL SECURITY INVOKER can't be used directly for access rights elevation.
But a user can first alter the view SQL code and then alter the view to
SQL SECURITY DEFINER and thus elevate his access rights. Due to this
altering a view with SQL SECURITY INVOKER is also prohibited.
Now the mysql_create_view function allows ALTER VIEW only to the view
definer or a super user.
added get_field_default_value() function which obtains default value from the field
(used in store_create_info() & get_schema_column_record() functions)
The optimizer sets index traversal in reverse order only if there are
used key parts that are not compared to a constant.
However using the primary key as an ORDER BY suffix rendered the check
incomplete : going in reverse order must still be used even if
all the parts of the secondary key are compared to a constant.
Fixed by relaxing the check and set reverse traversal even when all
the secondary index keyparts are compared to a const.
Also account for the case when all the primary keys are compared to a
constant.
- The bug was caused by COUNT(DISTINCT ...) code using Unique object in
a way that assumed that BIT(N) column occupies a contiguous space in
temp_table->record[0] buffer.
- The fix is to make COUNT(DISTINCT ...) code instruct create_tmp_table to
create temporary table with column of type BIGINT, not BIT(N).
Declaring an all space column name in the SELECT FROM DUAL or in a view
leads to misleading warning message:
"Leading spaces are removed from name ' '".
The Item::set_name method has been modified to raise warnings like
"Name ' ' has become ''" in case of the truncation of an all
space identifier to an empty string identifier instead of the
"Leading spaces are removed from name ' '" warning message.
DELETE FROM ... USING ... statements with the following type of
ambiguous aliasing gave unexpected results:
DELETE FROM t1 AS alias USING t1, t2 AS alias WHERE t1.a = alias.a;
This query would leave table t1 intact but delete rows from t2.
Fixed by changing DELETE FROM ... USING syntax so that only alias
references (as opposed to alias declarations) may be used in FROM.
Invaldating a subset of a sufficiently large query cache can take a long time.
During this time the server is efficiently frozen and no other operation can
be executed. This patch addresses this problem by setting a time limit on
how long time a dictionary access request can take before giving up on the
attempt. This patch does not work for query cache invalidations issued by
DROP, ALTER or RENAME TABLE operations.
When dumping database from a 4.x server, the mysqldump client
inserted a delimiter sign inside special commentaries of the form:
/*!... CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS ... ;*/
During restoration that dump file was splitten by delimiter signs on
the client side, and the rest of some commentary strings was prepended
to following statements.
The 4x_server_emul test case option has been added for use with the
DBUG_EXECUTE_IF debugging macro. This option affects debug server
builds only to emulate particular behavior of a 4.x server for
the mysqldump client testing. Non-debugging builds are not affected.
The problem is that a SELECT on one thread is blocked by INSERT ... ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE on another thread even when low_priority_updates is
activated.
The solution is to possibly downgrade the lock type to the setting of
low_priority_updates if the INSERT cannot be concurrent.
Problem:
In cases when a client-side macro appears inside a server-side comment, the add_line() function in mysql.cc discarded all characters until the next delimiter to remove macro arguments from the query string. This resulted in broken queries being sent to the server when the next delimiter character appeared past the comment's boundaries, because the comment closing sequence ('*/') was discarded.
Fix:
If a client-side macro appears inside a server-side comment, discard all characters in the comment after the macro (that is, until the end of the comment rather than the next delimiter).
This is a minimal fix to allow only simple cases used by the mysqlbinlog utility. Limitations that are worth documenting:
- Nested server-side and/or client-side comments are not supported by mysql.cc
- Using client-side macros in multi-line server-side comments is not supported
- All characters after a client-side macro in a server-side comment will be omitted from the query string (and thus, will not be sent to server).
