uninitialized variable used as subscript
Grouping select from a "constant" InnoDB table (a table
of a single row) joined with other tables caused a crash.
HAVING
When calculating GROUP BY the server caches some expressions. It does
that by allocating a string slot (Item_copy_string) and assigning the
value of the expression to it. This effectively means that the result
type of the expression can be changed from whatever it was to a string.
As this substitution takes place after the compile-time result type
calculation for IN but before the run-time type calculations,
it causes the type calculations in the IN function done at run time
to get unexpected results different from what was prepared at compile time.
In the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN ... statement there was a similar problem
and it was solved by artificially adding a STRING argument to the set of
types of the IN/CASE arguments at compile time, so if any of the
arguments of the CASE function changes its type to a string it will
still be covered by the information prepared at compile time.
Internal InnoDN FK parser does not recognize '\'' as quotation symbol.
Suggested fix is to add '\'' symbol check for quotation condition
(dict_strip_comments() function).
SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select
The crash was caused by an incomplete cleanup of JOIN_TAB::select
during the filesort of rows for GROUP BY clause inside a subquery.
Queries where a quick index access is replaced with filesort was
was affected. For example:
SELECT 1 FROM
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT c1) FROM t1
WHERE c2 IN (1, 1) AND c3 = 2 GROUP BY c2) x
Quick index access related data in the SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select
function was inconsistent after an incomplete cleanup.
This function has been completed to prevent crashes in the
SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select function.
Certain multi-updates gave different results on InnoDB from
to MyISAM, due to on-the-fly updates being used on the former and
the update order matters.
Fixed by turning off on-the-fly updates when update order
dependencies are present.
on 5.0
The server crashes on an assert in net_end_statement indicating that the
Diagnostics area wasn't set properly during execution.
This happened on a multi table DELETE operation using the IGNORE keyword.
The keyword is suppose to allow for execution to continue on a best effort
despite some non-fatal errors. Instead execution stopped and no client
response was sent which would have led to a protocol error if it hadn't been
for the assert.
This patch corrects this issue by checking for the existence of an IGNORE
option before setting an error state during row-by-row delete iteration.
Moved the test case for the bug into a separate file (and restored the
original innodb_mysql test setup).
Used the new wait_show_condition test macro to avoid the usage of sleep
connections
The problem is that tables can enter open table cache for a thread without
being properly cleaned up. This can happen if make_join_statistics() fails
to read a const table because of e.g. a deadlock. It does set a member of
TABLE structure to a value it allocates, but doesn't clean-up this setting
on error nor does it set the rest of the members in JOIN to allow for
automatic cleanup.
As a result when such an error occurs and the next statement depends re-uses
the table from the open tables cache it will get it with this
TABLE::reginfo.join_tab pointing to a memory area that's freed.
Fixed by making sure make_join_statistics() cleans up TABLE::reginfo.join_tab
on error.
The special TRUNCATE TABLE (DDL) transaction wasn't being properly
rolled back if a error occurred during row by row deletion. The
error can be caused by a foreign key restriction imposed by InnoDB
SE and would cause the server to erroneously issue a implicit
commit.
The solution is to rollback the transaction if a truncation via row
by row deletion fails, otherwise commit. All effects of a TRUNCATE
ABLE operation are rolled back if a row by row deletion fails.
locking type of temp table
The problem is that INSERT INTO .. SELECT FROM .. and CREATE
TABLE .. SELECT FROM a temporary table could inadvertently
overwrite the locking type of the temporary table. The lock
type of temporary tables should be a write lock by default.
The solution is to reset the lock type of temporary tables
back to its default value after they are used in a statement.
column
When the storage engine uses secondary keys clustered with the primary key MySQL was
adding the primary key parts to each secondary key.
In doing so it was not checking whether the index was on full columns and this
resulted in the secondary keys being added to the list of covering keys even if
they have partial columns.
Fixed by not adding a primary key part to the list of columns that can be used
for index read of the secondary keys when the primary key part is a partial key part.
The bug is repeatable with latest(1.0.1) InnoDB plugin on Linux, Win,
If MySQL is compiled with valgrind there are errors about
using of uninitialized variable(orig_table).
The fix is to set field->orig_table correct value.
When statement-based replication is used, and the
transaction isolation level is READ-COMMITTED or stricter,
InnoDB will print an error because statement-based
replication might lead to inconsistency between master
and slave databases. However, when the binary log is not
engaged, this is not an issue and an error should
not be printed.
This patch makes thd_binlog_format() return BINLOG_FORMAT_
UNSPEC when the binary log is not engaged for the given
thread.
partition is corrupt
The main problem was that ALTER TABLE t ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR
PARTITION took another code path (over mysql_alter_table instead of
mysql_admin_table) which differs in two ways:
1) alter table opens the tables in a different way than admin tables do
resulting in returning with error before it tried the command
2) alter table does not start to send any diagnostic rows to the client
which the lower admin functions continue to use -> resulting in
assertion crash
The fix:
Remapped ALTER TABLE t ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR PARTITION to use
the same code path as ANALYZE/CHECK/OPTIMIZE/REPAIR TABLE t.
Adding check in mysql_admin_table to setup the partition list for
which partitions that should be used.
Partitioned tables will still not work with
REPAIR TABLE/PARTITION USE_FRM, since that requires moving partitions
to tables, REPAIR TABLE t USE_FRM, and check that the data still
fulfills the partitioning function and then move the table back to
being a partition.
NOTE: I have removed the following functions from the handler
interface:
analyze_partitions, check_partitions, optimize_partitions,
repair_partitions
Since they are not longer needed.
THIS ALTERS THE STORAGE ENGINE API
Range scan in descending order for c <= <col> <= c type of
ranges was ignoring the DESC flag.
However some engines like InnoDB have the primary key parts
as a suffix for every secondary key.
When such primary key suffix is used for ordering ignoring
the DESC is not valid.
But we generally would like to do this because it's faster.
Fixed by performing only reverse scan if the primary key is used.
Removed some dead code in the process.

The problem was that when comparing tables for a possible
fast alter table, the comparison was being performed using
the parsed information and not the final definition.
The solution is to use the possible final table layout to
compare if a fast alter is possible or not.
- Disable the "prefer full scan on clustered primary key over full scan
of any secondary key" rule introduced by BUG#35850.
- Update test results accordingly
(bk trigger: file this for BUG#35850)
The index (key_part_1, key_part-2) was erroneously considered as compatible
with the required ordering in the function test_test_if_order_by_key when
a query with an ORDER BY clause contained a condition of the form
key_part_1=const OR key_part_1 IS NULL
and the order list contained only key_part_2. This happened because the value
of the const_key_parts field in the KEYUSE structure was not formed correctly
for the keys that could be used for ref_or_null access.
This was fixed in the code of the update_ref_and_keys function.
The problem could not manifest itself for MyISAM databases because the
implementation of the keys_to_use_for_scanning() handler function always
returns an empty bitmap for the MyISAM engine.
Default values of variables were not subject to upper/lower bounds
and step, while setting variables was. Bounds and step are also
applied to defaults now; defaults are corrected quietly, values
given by the user are corrected, and a correction-warning is thrown
as needed. Lastly, very large values could wrap around, starting
from 0 again. They are bounded at the maximum value for the
respective data-type now if no lower maximum is specified in the
variable's definition.
and auto_increment keys
Problems:
1. ALTER TABLE ... ORDER BY... doesn't make sence if there's a
user-defined clustered index in the table.
2. using a secondary index is slower than using a clustered one
for a table scan.
Fixes:
1. raise a warning.
2. use the clustered index.
