The out of memory error was thrown when the sort buffer size were too small.
This led to a user confusion.
Now filesort throws the error message about sort buffer being too small.
IN/BETWEEN predicates in sorting expressions.
Wrong results may occur when the select list contains an expression
with IN/BETWEEN predicate that differs from a sorting expression by
an additional NOT only.
Added the method Item_func_opt_neg::eq to compare correctly expressions
containing [NOT] IN/BETWEEN.
The eq method inherited from the Item_func returns TRUE when comparing
'a IN (1,2)' with 'a NOT IN (1,2)' that is not, of course, correct.
DATE/DATETIME values are out of the currently supported
4 basic value types (INT,STRING,REAL and DECIMAL).
So expressions (not fields) of compile type DATE/DATETIME are
generally considered as STRING values. This is not so
when they are compared : then they are compared as
INTEGER values.
But the rule for comparison as INTEGERS must be checked
explicitly each time when a comparison is to be performed.
filesort is one such place. However there the check was
not done and hence the expressions (not fields) of type
DATE/DATETIME were sorted by their string representation.
Fixed to compare them as INTEGER values for filesort.
Functions over sum functions wasn't set up correctly for the ORDER BY clause
which leads to a wrong order of the result set.
The split_sum_func() function is called now for each ORDER BY item that
contains a sum function to set it up correctly.
"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.
table in a join
The optimizer removes redundant columns in ORDER BY. It is considering
redundant every reference to const table column, e.g b in :
create table t1 (a int, b int, primary key(a));
select 1 from t1 order by b where a = 1
But it must not remove references to const table columns if the
const table is an outer table because there still can be 2 values :
the const value and NULL. e.g.:
create table t1 (a int, b int, primary key(a));
select t2.b c from t1 left join t1 t2 on (t1.a = t2.a and t2.a = 5)
order by c;
When a default of '' was specified for TEXT/BLOB columns, the specification
was silently ignored. This is presumably to be nice to applications (or
people) who generate their column definitions in a not-very-clever fashion.
For clarity, doing this now results in a warning, or an error in strict
mode.
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.
* Provide backwards compatibility extension to name resolution of
coalesced columns. The patch allows such columns to be qualified
with a table (and db) name, as it is in 4.1.
Based on a patch from Monty.
* Adjusted tests accordingly to test both backwards compatible name
resolution of qualified columns, and ANSI-style resolution of
non-qualified columns.
For this, each affected test has two versions - one with qualified
columns, and one without.
"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
- in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
- natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
for any number/nesting of the joins.
- column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
name resolution contexts used at parse time.
NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
- there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
- it does not include a new test specific for the task
are not specified in an insert. Most of these changes are actually to
clean up the test suite to either specify defaults to avoid warnings,
or add the warnings to the results. Related to bug #5986.
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.
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
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.
Fixed (together with Guilhem) bugs in mysqlbinlog regarding --offset
Prefix addresses with 0x for easier comparisons of debug logs
Fixed problem where MySQL choosed index-read even if there would be a much better range on the same index
This fix changed some 'index' queries to 'range' queries in the test suite
Don't create 'dummy' WHERE clause for trivial WHERE clauses where we can remove the WHERE clause.
This fix removed of a lot of 'Using where' notes in the test suite.
Give NOTE instead of WARNING if table/function doesn't exists when using DROP IF EXISTS
Give NOTE instead of WARNING for safe field-type conversions
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.
If cost(full_scan_on_shortest_covering_index) < cost(best_range_scan) < cost(full_table_scan)
use full_scan_on_shortest_covering_index
(before this fix best_range_scan was used)
