ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good character in some locales.
This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from
being used. Now if 0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an error.
Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This solution should
serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with ',' in their enums), but
WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/
That is, mysqldump with their current server, and restore when upgrading to one with
this patch.
The crash happens because second filling of the same I_S table happens in
case of subselect with order by. table->sort.io_cache previously allocated
in create_sort_index() is deleted during second filling
(function get_schema_tables_result). There are two places where
I_S table can be filled: JOIN::exec and create_sort_index().
To fix the bug we should check if the table was already filled
in one of these places and skip processing of the table in second.
The function make_unireg_sortorder ignored the fact that any
view field is represented by a 'ref' object.
This could lead to wrong results for the queries containing
both GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses.
A wrong order of statements in QUICK_GROUP_MIN_MAX_SELECT::reset
caused a crash when a query with DISTINCT was executed by a loose scan
for an InnoDB table that had been emptied.
present.
A view created with CREATE VIEW ... ORDER BY ... cannot be resolved with
the MERGE algorithm, even when no other part of the CREATE VIEW statement
would require the view to be resolved using the TEMPTABLE algorithm.
The check for presence of the ORDER BY clause in the underlying select is
removed from the st_lex::can_be_merged() function.
The ORDER BY list of the underlying select is appended to the ORDER BY list
Objects of the class Item_equal contain an auxiliary member
eval_item of the type cmp_item that is used only for direct
evaluation of multiple equalities. Currently a multiple equality
is evaluated directly only in the cases when the equality holds
at most for one row in the result set.
The compare collation of eval_item was determined incorectly.
It could lead to returning incorrect results for some queries.
"update existingtable set anycolumn=nonexisting order by nonexisting" would crash
the server.
Though we would find the reference to a field, that doesn't mean we can then use
it to set some values. It could be a reference to another field. If it is NULL,
don't try to use it to set values in the Item_field and instead return an error.
Over the previous patch, this signals an error at the location of the error, rather
than letting the subsequent deref signal it.
View check option clauses were ignored for updates of multi-table
views when the updates could not be performed on fly and the rows
to update had to be put into temporary tables first.
with a column of the DATETIME type could return a wrong
result set if the WHERE clause included a BETWEEN condition
on the column.
Fixed the method Item_func_between::fix_length_and_dec
where the aggregation type for BETWEEN predicates calculated
incorrectly if the first argument was a view column of the
DATETIME type.
