Dropping an user defined function may cause server crash in
case this function is still in use by another thread.
The problem was that our hash implementation didn't update
hash link list properly when hash_update() was called.
This bug may manifest itself for select queries over a multi-table view
that includes an ORDER BY clause in its definition. If the select list of
the query contains references to the same view column with different
aliases the names of the columns in the result output will be nevertheless
the same, coinciding with one of the alias.
The bug happened because the method Item_ref::get_tmp_table_item that
was inherited by the class Item_direct_view_ref ignored the fact that
the name of the view column reference must be inherited by the fields
of the temporary table that was created in order to get the result rows
sorted.
causing update of a different column
For efficiency some storage engines do not read a complete record
for update, but only the columns required for selecting the rows.
When updating a row of a partitioned table, modifying a column
that is part of the partition or subpartition expression, then
the row may need to move from one [sub]partition to another one.
This is done by inserting the new row into the target
[sub]partition and deleting the old row from the originating one.
For the insert we need a complete record.
If an above mentioned engine was used for a partitioned table, we
did not have a complete record in update_row(). The implicitly
executed write_row() got an incomplete record.
This is solved by instructing the engine to read a complete record
if one of the columns of the partition or subpartiton is to be
updated.
No testcase. This can be reproduced with Falcon only. The engines
contained in standard 5.1 do always return complete records on
update.
The `SELECT 'r' INTO OUTFILE ... FIELDS ENCLOSED BY 'r' ' statement
encoded the 'r' string to a 4 byte string of value x'725c7272'
(sequence of 4 characters: r\rr).
The LOAD DATA statement decoded this string to a 1 byte string of
value x'0d' (ASCII Carriage Return character) instead of the original
'r' character.
The same error also happened with the FIELDS ENCLOSED BY clause
followed by special characters: 'n', 't', 'r', 'b', '0', 'Z' and 'N'.
NOTE 1: This is a result of the undocumented feature: the LOAD DATA INFILE
recognises 2-byte input sequences like \n, \t, \r and \Z in addition
to documented 2-byte sequences: \0 and \N. This feature should be
documented (here backspace character is a default ESCAPED BY character,
in the real-life example it may be any ESCAPED BY character).
NOTE 2, changed behaviour:
Now the `SELECT INTO OUTFILE' statement with the `FIELDS ENCLOSED BY'
clause followed by one of: 'n', 't', 'r', 'b', '0', 'Z' or 'N' characters
encodes this special character itself by doubling it ('r' --> 'rr'),
not by prepending it with an escape character.
This bug may manifest itself not only with the queries for which
the index-merge access method is chosen. It also may display
itself for queries with DISTINCT.
The bug was in how the Unique::get method used the merge_buffers
function. To compare elements in the the queue employed by
merge_buffers() it must use the buffpek_compare function rather
than the function for binary comparison.
