Problem: in mixed and statement mode, a query that refers to a
system variable will use the slave's value when replayed on
slave. So if the value of a system variable is inserted into a
table, the slave will differ from the master.
Fix: mark statements that refer to a system variable as "unsafe",
meaning they will be replicated by row in mixed mode and produce a warning
in statement mode. There are some exceptions: some variables are actually
replicated. Those should *not* be marked as unsafe.
BUG#34732: mysqlbinlog does not print default values for auto_increment variables
Problem: mysqlbinlog does not print default values for some variables,
including auto_increment_increment and others. So if a client executing
the output of mysqlbinlog has different default values, replication will
be wrong.
Fix: Always print default values for all variables that are replicated.
I need to fix the two bugs at the same time, because the test cases would
fail if I only fixed one of them.
a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem".
The idea of the fix is to ensure that we always commit the current
statement at the end of dispatch_command(). In order to not issue
redundant disc syncs, an optimization of the two-phase commit
protocol is implemented to bypass the two phase commit if
the transaction is read-only.
but not collation.
The problem here was that text literals in a view were always
dumped with character set introducer. That lead to loosing
collation information.
The fix is to dump character set introducer only if it was
in the original query. That is now possible because there
is no problem any more of loss of character set of string
literals in views -- after WL#4052 the view is dumped
in the original character set.
Problem: mysqlbinlog does not free memory if an error happens.
Fix: binlog-processing functions do not call exit() anymore. Instead, they
print an error and return an error code. Error codes are propagated all
the way back to main, and all allocated memory is freed on the way.
Main problem: mysql 5.1 cannot read binlogs from 4.1.
Subproblem 1: There is a mistake in sql_ex_info::init. The read_str()
function updates its first argument to point to the next character to
read. However, it is applied only to a copy of the buffer pointer, so the
real buffer pointer is not updated.
Fix 1: do not take a copy of the buffer pointer. The copy was needed
because sql_ex_info::init does not use the const attribute on some of its
arguments. So we add the const attribute, too.
Subproblem 2: The first BINLOG statement is asserted to be a
FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_LOG_EVENT, but 4.1 binlogs begin with START_EVENT_V3.
Fix 2: allow START_EVENT_V3 too.
Problem: Replication fails when master is mysql-5.1-wl2325-5.0-drop6 and
slave is mysql-5.1-new-rpl. The reason is that, in
mysql-5.1-wl2325-5.0-drop6, the event type id's were different than in
mysql-5.1-new-rpl.
Fix (in mysql-5.1-new-rpl):
(1) detect that the server that generated the events uses the old
format, by checking the server version of the format_description_log_event
This patch recognizes mysql-5.1-wl2325-5.0-drop6p13-alpha,
mysql-5.1-wl2325-5.0-drop6, mysql-5.1-wl2325-5.0, mysql-5.1-wl2325-no-dd.
(2) if the generating server is old, map old event types to new event
types using a permutation array.
I've also added a test case which reads binlogs for four different
versions.
