Each time the server reloads privileges containing table grants, the
system will allocate too much memory than needed because of badly
chosen growth prediction in the underlying dynamic arrays.
This patch introduces a new signature to the hash container initializer
which enables a much more pessimistic approach in favour for more
efficient memory useage.
This patch was supplied by Google Inc.
The problem was in a test case for Bug33507:
- when the number of active connections reaches the limit,
the server accepts only root connections. That's achieved by
accepting a connection, negotiating with the client and
checking user credentials. If it is not SUPER, the connection
is dropped.
- when the server accepts connection, it increases the counter;
- when the server drops connection, it decreases the counter;
- the race was in between of decreasing the counter and accepting
new connection:
- max_user_connections = 2;
- 2 oridinary user connections accepted;
- extra user connection is establishing;
- server checked user credentials, and sent 'Too many connections'
error;
- the client receives the error and establishes extra SUPER user
connection;
- the server however didn't decrease the counter (the extra
user connection still is "alive" in the server) -- so, the new
SUPER-user connection, will be dropped, because it exceeds
(max_user_connections + 1).
The fix is to implement "safe connect", which makes several attempts
to connect and use it in the test script.
The problem was that 'connect' command didn't set mysql_errno
variable, thus the script was unable to determine whether connection
was opened or not.
The fix is to set this variable.
Test cases will be added in the scope of Bug33507
into connect.test file.
The problem was that the COM_STMT_SEND_LONG_DATA was sending a response
packet if the prepared statement wasn't found in the server (due to
reconnection). The commands COM_STMT_SEND_LONG_DATA and COM_STMT_CLOSE
should not send any packets, even error packets should not be sent since
they are not expected by the client API.
The solution is to clear generated during the execution of the aforementioned
commands and to skip resend of prepared statement commands. Another fix is
that if the connection breaks during the send of prepared statement command,
the command is not sent again since the prepared statement is no longer in the
server.
When there are no underlying tables specified for a merge table,
SHOW CREATE TABLE outputs a statement that cannot be executed. The
same is true for mysqldump (it generates dumps that cannot be
executed).
This happens because SQL parser does not accept empty UNION() clause.
This patch changes the following:
- it is now possible to execute CREATE/ALTER statement with
empty UNION() clause.
- the same as above, but still worth noting: it is now possible to
remove underlying tables mapping using ALTER TABLE ... UNION=().
- SHOW CREATE TABLE does not output UNION() clause if there are
no underlying tables specified for a merge table. This makes
mysqldump slightly smaller.
