Zero-length variables caused failures when using the length to look
up the name in a hash. Instead, signal that no zero-length name can
ever be found and that to encounter one is a syntax error.
"A SELECT privilege on a view is required for SHOW CREATE VIEW and it will stay
that way because of compatibility reasons." (see #20136)
a test case to illustrate how the ACLs work in this case (and ensure they will continue
to do so in the future)
The problem was that the grammar allows to create a function with an optional
definer clause, and define it as a UDF with the SONAME keyword.
Such combination should be reported as an error.
The solution is to not change the grammar itself, and to introduce a
specific check in the yacc actions in 'create_function_tail' for UDF,
that now reports ER_WRONG_USAGE when using both DEFINER and SONAME.
When executing ALTER TABLE all the attributes of the view were overwritten.
This is contrary to the user's expectations.
So some of the view attributes are preserved now : namely security and
algorithm. This means that if they are not specified in ALTER VIEW
their values are preserved from CREATE VIEW instead of being defaulted.
difference between timestamp in values of months and quarters.)
Problem: when requesting timestamp diff in months or quarters, it
would only examine the date (and not the time) for the comparison.
Solution: increased precision of comparison.
'conc_sys' test
Concurrent execution of SELECT involing at least two INFORMATION_SCHEMA
tables, DROP DATABASE statement and DROP TABLE statement could have
resulted in stalled connection for this SELECT statement.
The problem was that for the first query of a join there was a race
between select from I_S.TABLES and DROP DATABASE, and the error (no
such database) was prepared to be send to the client, but the join
processing was continued. On second query to I_S.COLUMNS there was a
race with DROP TABLE, but this error (no such table) was downgraded to
warning, and thd->net.report_error was reset. And so neither result
nor error was sent to the client.
The solution is to stop join processing once it is clear we are going
to report a error, and also to downgrade to warnings file system errors
like 'no such database' (unless we are in the 'SHOW' command), because
I_S is designed not to use locks and the query to I_S should not abort
if something is dropped in the middle.
No test case is provided since this bug is a result of a race, and is
timing dependant. But we test that plain SHOW TABLES and SHOW COLUMNS
give a error if there is no such database or a table respectively.
can be not replicable.
Now CREATE statements for writing in the binlog are created as follows:
- the beginning of the statement is re-created;
- the rest of the statement is copied from the original query.
The problem appears when there is a version-specific comment (produced by
mysqldump), started in the re-created part of the statement and closed in the
copied part -- there is closing comment-parenthesis, but there is no opening
one.
The proper fix could be to re-create original statement, but we can not
implement it in 5.0. So, for 5.0 the fix is just to cut closing
comment-parenthesis. This technique is also used for SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE
statement (so we are able to reuse existing code).
