The function test_if_skip_sort_order ignored any covering index used for ref
access of a table in a query with ORDER BY if this index was incompatible
with the ORDER BY list and there was another covering index compatible with
this list.
As a result sub-optimal execution plans were chosen for some queries with
ORDER BY clause.
impossible WHERE/HAVING clause
(subselect_single_select_engine::exec).
Allocation and initialization of joined table list t1, t2... of
subqueries like:
NOT IN (SELECT ... FROM t1,t2,... WHERE 0)
is optimized out, however server tries to traverse this list.
Grouping or ordering of long values in not indexed BLOB/TEXT columns
with GBK or BIG5 charsets crashes the server.
MySQL server uses sorting (the filesort procedure) in the temporary
table to evaluate the GROUP BY clause in case of lack of suitable index.
That procedure takes into account only first @max_sort_length bytes
(system variable, usually 1024) of TEXT/BLOB sorting key string.
The my_strnxfrm_gbk and my_strnxfrm_big5 fill temporary keys
with data of whole blob length instead of @max_sort_length bytes
length. That buffer overrun has been fixed.
Add metadata validation to ~20 more SQL commands. Make sure that
these commands actually work in ps-protocol, since until now they
were enabled, but not carefully tested.
Fixes the ml003 bug found by Matthias during internal testing of the
patch.
when --master-data is used
When using the --master-data option with mysqldump, mysqldump uses
a FLUSH TABLES command. However, this statement got replicated to
the slave(s), which caused the slave(s) to block unnecessarily while
the FLUSH tables command completed.
Now, if the master-data option is set to one of the two "on" modes,
then use the "LOCAL" qualifier to ensure that it's not replicated.
Make maximum blob size to be 2**32-1, regardless of word size.
Fix failure of timestamp with size of 2**31-1. The method of
rounding up to the nearest even number would overflow.
WL#4165 Prepared statements: validation
WL#4166 Prepared statements: automatic re-prepare
Fixes
Bug#27430 Crash in subquery code when in PS and table DDL changed after PREPARE
Bug#27690 Re-execution of prepared statement after table was replaced with a view crashes
Bug#27420 A combination of PS and view operations cause error + assertion on shutdown
The basic idea of the patch is to keep track of table metadata between
prepared statement prepare and execute. If some table used in the statement
has changed, the prepared statement is re-prepared before execution.
See WL#4165 and WL#4166 contents and comments in the code for details
of the implementation.
