TIMESTAMP field when no value has been provided.
The LOAD DATA sets the current time in the TIMESTAMP field with
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP default value when the field is detected as a null.
But when the LOAD DATA command loads data from a file that doesn't contain
enough data for all fields then the rest of fields are simply set to null
without any check. This leads to no value being inserted to such TIMESTAMP
field.
Now the read_sep_field() and the read_fixed_length() functions set current
time to the TIMESTAMP field with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP default value in all cases
when a NULL value is loaded to the field.
This bug affects multi-row INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE into table
with PRIMARY KEY of AUTO_INCREMENT field and some additional UNIQUE indices.
If the first row in multi-row INSERT contains duplicated values of UNIQUE
indices, then following rows of multi-row INSERT (with either duplicated or
unique key field values) may me applied to _arbitrary_ records of table as
updates.
This bug was introduced in 5.0. Related code was widely rewritten in 5.1, and
5.1 is already free of this problem. 4.1 was not affected too.
When updating the row during INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, we called
restore_auto_increment(), which set next_insert_id back to 0, but we
forgot to set clear_next_insert_id back to 0.
restore_auto_increment() function has been fixed.
The IN function was comparing DATE/DATETIME values either as ints or as
strings. Both methods have their disadvantages and may lead to a wrong
result.
Now IN function checks whether all of its arguments has the STRING result
types and at least one of them is a DATE/DATETIME item. If so it uses either
an object of the in_datetime class or an object of the cmp_item_datetime
class to perform its work. If the IN() function arguments are rows then
row columns are checked whether the DATE/DATETIME comparator should be used
to compare them.
The in_datetime class is used to find occurence of the item to be checked
in the vector of the constant DATE/DATETIME values. The cmp_item_datetime
class is used to compare items one by one in the DATE/DATETIME context.
Both classes obtain values from items with help of the get_datetime_value()
function and cache the left item if it is a constant one.
The LEAST/GREATEST functions compared DATE/DATETIME values as
strings which in some cases could lead to a wrong result.
A new member function called cmp_datetimes() is added to the
Item_func_min_max class. It compares arguments in DATETIME context
and returns index of the least/greatest argument.
The Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() function now detects when
arguments should be compared in DATETIME context and sets the newly
added flag compare_as_dates. It indicates that the cmp_datetimes() function
should be called to get a correct result.
Item_func_min_max::val_xxx() methods are corrected to call the
cmp_datetimes() function when needed.
Objects of the Item_splocal class now stores and reports correct original
field type.
When checking for applicability of join cache
we must disable its usage only if there is no
temp table in use.
When a temp table is used we can use join
cache (and it will not make the result-set
unordered) to fill the temp table. The filesort()
operation is then applied to the data in the temp
table and hence is not affected by join cache
usage.
Fixed by narrowing the condition for disabling
join cache to exclude the case where temp table
is used.
Non-correlated scalar subqueries may get executed
in EXPLAIN at the optimization phase if they are
part of a right hand sargable expression.
If the scalar subquery uses a temp table to
materialize its results it will replace the
subquery structure from the parser with a simple
select from the materialization table.
As a result the EXPLAIN will crash as the
temporary materialization table is not to be shown
in EXPLAIN at all.
Fixed by preserving the original query structure
right after calling optimize() for scalar subqueries
with temp tables executed during EXPLAIN.
The generic string to int conversion was used by the Item_func_signed and
the Item_func_unsigned classes to convert DATE/DATETIME values to the
SIGNED/UNSIGNED type. But this conversion produces wrong results for such
values.
Now if the item which result has to be converted can return its result as
longlong then the item->val_int() method is used to allow the item to carry
out the conversion itself and return the correct result.
This condition is checked in the Item_func_signed::val_int() and the
Item_func_unsigned::val_int() functions.
'not exists' optimization is applied.
In fact 'not exists' optimization did not work anymore after the patch
introducing the evaluate_join_record function had been applied.
Corrected the evaluate_join_record function to respect the 'not_exists'
optimization.
some rollup rows (rows with NULLs for grouping attributes) if GROUP BY
list contained constant expressions.
This happened because the results of constant expressions were not put
in the temporary table used for duplicate elimination. In fact a constant
item from the GROUP BY list of a ROLLUP query can be replaced for an
Item_null_result object when a rollup row is produced .
Now the JOIN::rollup_init function wraps any constant item referenced in
the GROYP BY list of a ROLLUP query into an Item_func object of a special
class that is never detected as constant item. This ensures creation of
fields for such constant items in temporary tables and guarantees right
results when the result of the rollup operation first has to be written
into a temporary table, e.g. in the cases when duplicate elimination is
required.
INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE may cause error 1032:
"Can't find record in ..." if we are inserting into
InnoDB table unique index of partial key with
underlying UTF-8 string field.
This error occurs because INSERT...ON DUPLICATE uses a wrong
procedure to copy string fields of multi-byte character sets
for index search.
- unsigned flag was not handled correctly for a number of mathematical funcions, which led to incorrect results
- passing large values as the number of decimals to ROUND() resulted in incorrect results and even server crashes in some cases
- reverted the fix and the testcase for bug #10083 as it violates the manual
- fixed some testcases which relied on broken ROUND() behavior
The BETWEEN function was comparing DATE/DATETIME values either as ints or as
strings. Both methods have their disadvantages and may lead to a wrong
result.
Now BETWEEN function checks whether all of its arguments has the STRING result
types and at least one of them is a DATE/DATETIME item. If so it sets up
two Arg_comparator obects to compare with the compare_datetime() comparator
and uses them to compare such items.
Added two Arg_comparator object members and one flag to the
Item_func_between class for the correct DATE/DATETIME comparison.
The Item_func_between::fix_length_and_dec() function now detects whether
it's used for DATE/DATETIME comparison and sets up newly added Arg_comparator
objects to do this.
The Item_func_between::val_int() now uses Arg_comparator objects to perform
correct DATE/DATETIME comparison.
The owner variable of the Arg_comparator class now can be set to NULL if the
caller wants to handle NULL values by itself.
Now the Item_date_add_interval::get_date() function ajusts cached_field type according to the detected type.
