"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.
In the method Item_field::fix_fields we try to resolve the name of
the field against the names of the aliases that occur in the select
list. This is done by a call of the function find_item_in_list.
When this function finds several occurrences of the field name
it sends an error message to the error queue and returns 0.
Yet the code did not take into account that find_item_in_list
could return 0 and tried to dereference the returned value.
The parser is allocating Item_field for references by name in ORDER BY
expressions. Such expressions however may point not only to Item_field
in the select list (or to a table column) but also to an arbitrary Item.
This causes Item_field::fix_fields to throw an error about missing
column.
The fix substitutes Item_field for the reference with an Item_ref when
not pointing to Item_field.
The bug caused wrong result sets for union constructs of the form
(SELECT ... ORDER BY order_list1 [LIMIT n]) ORDER BY order_list2.
For such queries order lists were concatenated and limit clause was
completely neglected.
The problem was that when a QUICK_SELECT access method is chosen,
test_if_skip_sort_order() discovered that the index being used
by the quick select will not deliver tuples in sorted order.
In this case test_if_skip_sort_order() tried to change the index
used by the quick select, but it didn't properly set the other
members of the quick select, and especially the range flags of
the ranges in QUICK_SELECT::ranges.
The fix re-invokes the function SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select
to correctly create a valid QUICK_SELECT object.
identical to another in result"
According to SQL standard queries like
"select t1.a as col from t1, t2 order by a" should return an error if
both tables contain field a.
When in find_item_in_list() we are looking for item we should take into account unaliased
names of the fields but only if item with such aliased name is not found.
Also we should ignore aliases when looking for fully specified field.
result of the test case for FORCE INDEX on ORDER BY
order_by.test:
test case for FORCE INDEX on ORDER BY
sql_select.cc:
Changing behaviour that MySQL server takes FORCE INDEX clause into account when optimising ORDER BY clause
Added more DBUG statements
Ensure that we are comparing end space with BINARY strings
Use 'any_db' instead of '' to mean any database. (For HANDLER command)
Only strip ' ' when comparing CHAR, not other space-like characters (like \t)
bmove_allign -> bmove_align
Added OLAP function ROLLUP
Split mysql_fix_privilege_tables to a script and a .sql data file
Added new (MEMROOT*) functions to avoid calling current_thd() when creating some common objects.
Added table_alias_charset, for easier --lower-case-table-name handling
Better SQL_MODE handling (Setting complex options also sets sub options)
New (faster) assembler string functions for x86
Added ALL as parameter option for all group functions.
Make join handling uniform. This allows us to use ',', JOIN and INNER JOIN the same way.
Sort NULL last if DESC is used (ANSI SQL 99 requirement)
Added bug fix from 3.23 for AIX 4.3.3 and gcc 3.x
Small change in EXCHANGE output
Propagate open-files-limit from mysqld_safe -> mysqld
Fixed speed bug in GROUP BY
Added quotes around database name in CREATE DATABASE db_name (for binary log)
