Bug #18361: Triggers on mysql.user table cause server crash
Because they do not work, we do not allow creating triggers on tables
within the 'mysql' schema.
(They may be made to work and re-enabled at some later date, but not
in 5.0 or 5.1.)
The problem was that we restored SQL_CACHE, SQL_NO_CACHE flags in SELECT
statement from internal structures based on value set later at runtime, not
the original value set by the user.
The solution is to remember that original value.
Produce a warning if DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY is specified in
ALTER TABLE statement.
Ignoring of these options is documented in the symbolic links
section of the manual.
'SELECT DISTINCT a,b FROM t1' should not use temp table if there is unique
index (or primary key) on a.
There are a number of other similar cases that can be calculated without the
use of a temp table : multi-part unique indexes, primary keys or using GROUP BY
instead of DISTINCT.
When a GROUP BY/DISTINCT clause contains all key parts of a unique
index, then it is guaranteed that the fields of the clause will be
unique, therefore we can optimize away GROUP BY/DISTINCT altogether.
This optimization has two effects:
* there is no need to create a temporary table to compute the
GROUP/DISTINCT operation (or the temporary table will be smaller if only GROUP
is removed and DISTINCT stays or if DISTINCT is removed and GROUP BY stays)
* this causes the statement in effect to become updatable in Connector/Java
because the result set columns will be direct reference to the primary key of
the table (instead to the temporary table that it currently references).
Implemented a check that will optimize away GROUP BY/DISTINCT for queries like
the above.
Currently it will work only for single non-constant table in the FROM clause.
When building the UPDATE query to send to the remote server, the
federated storage engine built the query incorrectly if it was updating
a field to be NULL.
Thanks to Bjrn Steinbrink for an initial patch for the problem.

Bug#17199 "Problem when view calls function from another database."
Bug#18444 "Fully qualified stored function names don't work correctly in
SELECT statements"
Documentation note: this patch introduces a change in behaviour of prepared
statements.
This patch adds a few new invariants with regard to how THD::db should
be used. These invariants should be preserved in future:
- one should never refer to THD::db by pointer and always make a deep copy
(strmake, strdup)
- one should never compare two databases by pointer, but use strncmp or
my_strncasecmp
- TABLE_LIST object table->db should be always initialized in the parser or
by creator of the object.
For prepared statements it means that if the current database is changed
after a statement is prepared, the database that was current at prepare
remains active. This also means that you can not prepare a statement that
implicitly refers to the current database if the latter is not set.
This is not documented, and therefore needs documentation. This is NOT a
change in behavior for almost all SQL statements except:
- ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME t2
- OPTIMIZE TABLE t1
- ANALYZE TABLE t1
- TRUNCATE TABLE t1 --
until this patch t1 or t2 could be evaluated at the first execution of
prepared statement.
CURRENT_DATABASE() still works OK and is evaluated at every execution
of prepared statement.
Note, that in stored routines this is not an issue as the default
database is the database of the stored procedure and "use" statement
is prohibited in stored routines.
This patch makes obsolete the use of check_db_used (it was never used in the
old code too) and all other places that check for table->db and assign it
from THD::db if it's NULL, except the parser.
How this patch was created: THD::{db,db_length} were replaced with a
LEX_STRING, THD::db. All the places that refer to THD::{db,db_length} were
manually checked and:
- if the place uses thd->db by pointer, it was fixed to make a deep copy
- if a place compared two db pointers, it was fixed to compare them by value
(via strcmp/my_strcasecmp, whatever was approproate)
Then this intermediate patch was used to write a smaller patch that does the
same thing but without a rename.
TODO in 5.1:
- remove check_db_used
- deploy THD::set_db in mysql_change_db

Addendum fixes after changing the condition variable
for the global read lock.
The stress test suite revealed some deadlocks. Some were
related to the new condition variable (COND_global_read_lock)
and some were general problems with the global read lock.
It is now necessary to signal COND_global_read_lock whenever
COND_refresh is signalled.
We need to wait for the release of a global read lock if one
is set before every operation that requires a write lock.
But we must not wait if we have locked tables by LOCK TABLES.
After setting a global read lock a thread waits until all
write locks are released.
Problem:
mysqld --collation-server=xxx --character-set-server=yyy
didn't work as expected: collation_server was set not to xxx,
but to the default collation of character set "yyy".
With different argument order it worked as expected:
mysqld --character-set-server=yyy --collation-server=yyy
Fix:
initializate default_collation_name to 0
when processing --character-set-server
only if --collation-server has not been specified
in command line.
An UNIQUE KEY consisting of NOT NULL columns
was displayed as PRIMARY KEY in "DESC t1".
According to the code, that was intentional
behaviour for some reasons unknown to me.
This code was written before bitkeeper time,
so I cannot check who and why made this.
After discussing on dev-public, a decision
was made to remove this code
This was another manifestation of the problems fixed in the
patch for bug 16674.
Wrong calculation of length of the search prefix in the pattern
string led here to a wrong result set for a query in 4.1.
The bug could be demonstrated for any multi-byte character set.
Server crashed in some cases when a query required a MIN/MAX
agrregation for a 'ucs2' field.
In these cases the aggregation caused calls of the function
update_tmptable_sum_func that indirectly invoked
the method Item_sum_hybrid::min_max_update_str_field()
containing a call to strip_sp for a ucs2 character set.
The latter led directly to the crash as it used my_isspace
undefined for the ucs2 character set.
Actually the call of strip_sp is not needed at all in this
situation and has been removed by the fix.
mysqldump.test calls my_print_defaults in a way that includes the systemwide
my.cnf, so the results will be beyond our control and depend on whatever the
user has in their my.cnf, namely the [mysqldump] section.
call my_print_defaults with --config-file rather than --defaults-extra-file
to prevent inclusion of system-wide defaults and use our config-file only.
- The setting of "ENV{'TZ'}" doesn't affect the timezone
used by MySQL Server on Windows.
- Explicitly set timezone in test cases before doing UTC/localtime
conversions so tests produce deterministic results
- The setting of "ENV{'TZ'}" doesn't affect the timezone
used by MySQL Server on Windows.
- Explicitly set timezone to "+03:00" in test case before
doing the calculatiosn to check that there is three hours
difference between utc and local time.
(Magnus' fix)
The AsBinary function returns VARCHAR data type with binary collation.
It can cause problem for clients that treat that kind of data as
different from BLOB type.
So now AsBinary returns BLOB.
with PREPARE fails with weird error".
More generally, re-executing a stored procedure with a complex SP cursor query
could lead to a crash.
The cause of the problem was that SP cursor queries were not optimized
properly at first execution: their parse tree belongs to sp_instr_cpush,
not sp_instr_copen, and thus the tree was tagged "EXECUTED" when the
cursor was declared, not when it was opened. This led to loss of optimization
transformations performed at first execution, as sp_instr_copen saw that the
query is already "EXECUTED" and therefore either not ran first-execution
related blocks or wrongly rolled back the transformations caused by
first-execution code.
The fix is to update the state of the parsed tree only when the tree is
executed, as opposed to when the instruction containing the tree is executed.
Assignment if i->state is moved to reset_lex_and_exec_core.
