all sql/.
This necessary to keep track of all data modifications in sql/,
which is in turn necessary to be able to optimize two-phase

that the entire server uses their public ha_* counterparts instead,
since only then we can ensure proper tracing of these calls that
is necessary for Bug#12713.
A pre-requisite for Bug#12713 "Error in a stored function called from
a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem"
The problem is that some DDL statements (ALTER TABLE, CREATE
TRIGGER, FLUSH TABLES, ...) when under LOCK TABLES need to
momentarily drop the lock, reopen the table and grab the write
lock again (using reopen_tables). When grabbing the lock again,
reopen_tables doesn't pass a flag to mysql_lock_tables in
order to ignore the impending global read lock, which causes a
assertion because LOCK_open is being hold. Also dropping the
lock must not signal to any threads that the table has been
relinquished (related to the locking/flushing protocol).
The solution is to correct the way the table is reopenned
and the locks grabbed. When reopening the table and under
LOCK TABLES, the table version should be set to 0 so other
threads have to wait for the table. When grabbing the lock,
any other flush should be ignored because it's theoretically
a atomic operation. The chosen solution also fixes a potential
discrepancy between binlog and GRL (global read lock) because
table placeholders were being ignored, now a FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK will properly for table with open placeholders.
It's also important to mention that this patch doesn't fix
a potential deadlock if one uses two GRLs under LOCK TABLES
concurrently.
cause ROLLBACK of statement", part 1. Review fixes.
Do not send OK/EOF packets to the client until we reached the end of
the current statement.
This is a consolidation, to keep the functionality that is shared by all
SQL statements in one place in the server.
Currently this functionality includes:
- close_thread_tables()
- log_slow_statement().
After this patch and the subsequent patch for Bug#12713, it shall also include:
- ha_autocommit_or_rollback()
- net_end_statement()
- query_cache_end_of_result().
In future it may also include:
- mysql_reset_thd_for_next_command().
Problem: when alter to partitioned table,
it does not see it as change of engine.
Solution: If alter includes partitioning, check if it is possible
to change engines (eg. is the table referenced by a FK)
This bug is actually two bugs in one, one of which is CREATE TRIGGER under
LOCK TABLES and the other is CREATE TRIGGER under LOCK TABLES simultaneous
to a FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK (global read lock). Both situations could
lead to a server crash or deadlock.
The first problem arises from the fact that when under LOCK TABLES, if the
table is in the set of locked tables, the table is already open and it doesn't
need to be reopened (not a placeholder). Also in this case, if the table is
not write locked, a exclusive lock can't be acquired because of a possible
deadlock with another thread also holding a (read) lock on the table. The
second issue arises from the fact that one should never wait for a global
read lock if it's holding any locked tables, because the global read lock
is waiting for these tables and this leads to a circular wait deadlock.
The solution for the first case is to check if the table is write locked
and upgraded the write lock to a exclusive lock and fail otherwise for non
write locked tables. Grabbin the exclusive lock in this case also means
to ensure that the table is opened only by the calling thread. The second
issue is partly fixed by not waiting for the global read lock if the thread
is holding any locked tables.
The second issue is only partly addressed in this patch because it turned
out to be much wider and also affects other DDL statements. Reported as
Bug#32395
The crash happens because we change share->partition_info where 'share' is global struct
(it affects other threads which use the same 'share').
It causes discrepancy between 'share' and handler data.
The fix:
Move share->partition_info update into WFRM_INSTALL_SHADOW part which is protected by OPEN_lock.
The problem is that DROP TABLE and other DDL statements failed to
automatically close handlers associated with tables that were marked
for reopen (FLUSH TABLES).
The current implementation fails to properly discard handlers of
dropped tables (that were marked for reopen) because it searches
on the open handler tables list and using the current alias of the
table being dropped. The problem is that it must not use the open
handler tables list to search because the table might have been
closed (marked for reopen) by a flush tables command and also it
must not use the current table alias at all since multiple different
aliases may be associated with a single table. This is specially
visible when a user has two open handlers (using alias) of a same
table and a flush tables command is issued before the table is
dropped (see test case). Scanning the handler table list is also
useless for dropping handlers associated with temporary tables,
because temporary tables are not kept in the THD::handler_tables
list.
The solution is to simple scan the handlers hash table searching
for, and deleting all handlers with matching table names if the
reopen flag is not passed to the flush function, indicating that
the handlers should be deleted. All matching handlers are deleted
even if the associated the table is not open.

Bug 26379 - Combination of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE
corrupts a MERGE table
1. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting while
REPAIR TABLE or a similar table administration task is ongoing on
one or more of its MyISAM tables.
2. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting until all
threads that did REPAIR TABLE or similar table administration tasks
on one or more of its MyISAM tables in LOCK TABLES segments do UNLOCK
TABLES. The difference against problem #1 is that the busy waiting
takes place *after* the administration task. It is terminated by
UNLOCK TABLES only.
3. Two FLUSH TABLES within a LOCK TABLES segment can invalidate the
lock. This does *not* require a MERGE table. The first FLUSH TABLES
can be replaced by any statement that requires other threads to
reopen the table. In 5.0 and 5.1 a single FLUSH TABLES can provoke
the problem.
Bug 26867 - LOCK TABLES + REPAIR + merge table result in
memory/cpu hogging
Trying DML on a MERGE table, which has a child locked and
repaired by another thread, made an infinite loop in the server.
Bug 26377 - Deadlock with MERGE and FLUSH TABLE
Locking a MERGE table and its children in parent-child order
and flushing the child deadlocked the server.
Bug 25038 - Waiting TRUNCATE
Truncating a MERGE child, while the MERGE table was in use,
let the truncate fail instead of waiting for the table to
become free.
Bug 25700 - merge base tables get corrupted by
optimize/analyze/repair table
Repairing a child of an open MERGE table corrupted the child.
It was necessary to FLUSH the child first.
Bug 30275 - Merge tables: flush tables or unlock tables
causes server to crash
Flushing and optimizing locked MERGE children crashed the server.
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking
Use of a temporary MERGE table with non-temporary children
could corrupt the children.
Temporary tables are never locked. So we do now prohibit
non-temporary chidlren of a temporary MERGE table.
Bug 27660 - Falcon: merge table possible
It was possible to create a MERGE table with non-MyISAM children.
Bug 30273 - merge tables: Can't lock file (errno: 155)
This was a Windows-only bug. Table administration statements
sometimes failed with "Can't lock file (errno: 155)".
These bugs are fixed by a new implementation of MERGE table open.
When opening a MERGE table in open_tables() we do now add the
child tables to the list of tables to be opened by open_tables()
(the "query_list"). The children are not opened in the handler at
this stage.
After opening the parent, open_tables() opens each child from the
now extended query_list. When the last child is opened, we remove
the children from the query_list again and attach the children to
the parent. This behaves similar to the old open. However it does
not open the MyISAM tables directly, but grabs them from the already
open children.
When closing a MERGE table in close_thread_table() we detach the
children only. Closing of the children is done implicitly because
they are in thd->open_tables.
For more detail see the comment at the top of ha_myisammrg.cc.
Changed from open_ltable() to open_and_lock_tables() in all places
that can be relevant for MERGE tables. The latter can handle tables
added to the list on the fly. When open_ltable() was used in a loop
over a list of tables, the list must be temporarily terminated
after every table for open_and_lock_tables().
table_list->required_type is set to FRMTYPE_TABLE to avoid open of
special tables. Handling of derived tables is suppressed.
These details are handled by the new function
open_n_lock_single_table(), which has nearly the same signature as
open_ltable() and can replace it in most cases.
In reopen_tables() some of the tables open by a thread can be
closed and reopened. When a MERGE child is affected, the parent
must be closed and reopened too. Closing of the parent is forced
before the first child is closed. Reopen happens in the order of
thd->open_tables. MERGE parents do not attach their children
automatically at open. This is done after all tables are reopened.
So all children are open when attaching them.
Special lock handling like mysql_lock_abort() or mysql_lock_remove()
needs to be suppressed for MERGE children or forwarded to the parent.
This depends on the situation. In loops over all open tables one
suppresses child lock handling. When a single table is touched,
forwarding is done.
Behavioral changes:
===================
This patch changes the behavior of temporary MERGE tables.
Temporary MERGE must have temporary children.
The old behavior was wrong. A temporary table is not locked. Hence
even non-temporary children were not locked. See
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking.
You cannot change the union list of a non-temporary MERGE table
when LOCK TABLES is in effect. The following does *not* work:
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ...;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 WRITE, m1 WRITE;
ALTER TABLE m1 ... UNION=(t1,t2) ...;
However, you can do this with a temporary MERGE table.
You cannot create a MERGE table with CREATE ... SELECT, neither
as a temporary MERGE table, nor as a non-temporary MERGE table.
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ... SELECT ...;
Gives error message: table is not BASE TABLE.
When mysql_server_init() interrupts on some error (wrong errmsg file
for example) in the middle of it's execution, it doesn't call
execute_ddl_log_recovery() so LOCK_gdl mutex isn't init-ed.
In this case we shouldn't execute release_ddl_log during cleanup
as it uses that mutex inside.
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.
If a stored function that contains a drop temporary table statement
is invoked by a create temporary table of the same name may cause
a server crash. The problem is that when dropping a table no check
is done to ensure that table is not being used by some outer query
(or outer statement), potentially leaving the outer query with a
reference to a stale (freed) table.
The solution is when dropping a temporary table, always check if
the table is being used by some outer statement as a temporary
table can be dropped inside stored procedures.
The check is performed by looking at the TABLE::query_id value for
temporary tables. To simplify this check and to solve a bug related
to handling of temporary tables in prelocked mode, this patch changes
the way in which this member is used to track the fact that table is
used/unused. Now we ensure that TABLE::query_id is zero for unused
temporary tables (which means that all temporary tables which were
used by a statement should be marked as free for reuse after it's
execution has been completed).
rebuild the table.
The problem was that ROW_FORMAT clause in ALTER TABLE did not trigger
table reconstruction.
The fix is to rebuild a table if ROW_FORMAT is specified.
file .\ha_innodb.
Problem: if a partial unique key followed by a non-partial one we declare
the second one as a primary key.
Fix: sort non-partial unique keys before partial ones.
The root cause of this defect is that a call to my_error() is using a
'LEX_STRING' parameter instead of a 'char*'
This patch fixes the failing calls to my_error(), as well as similar calls
found during investigation.
This is a compiling bug (see the instrumentation in the bug report), no test cases provided.
Inserting Data.
The problem was that under some circumstances Field class was not
properly initialized before calling create_length_to_internal_length()
function, which led to assert failure.
The fix is to do the proper initialization.
The user-visible problem was that under some circumstances
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement crashed the server or led
to wrong error message (wrong results).
CPUs / Intel's ICC compile
The bug is a combination of two problems:
1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.
2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.
It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.
This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.
Fixed the usage of spatial data (and Point in specific) with
non-spatial indexes.
Several problems :
- The length of the Point class was not updated to include the
spatial reference system identifier. Fixed by increasing with 4
bytes.
- The storage length of the spatial columns was not accounting for
the length that is prepended to it. Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and thus increasing the storage
length)
- When creating the key image for comparison in index read wrong
key image was created (the one needed for and r-tree search,
not the one for b-tree/other search). Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and creating the correct kind of
image based on the index type).
Faster thr_alarm()
Added 'Opened_files' status variable to track calls to my_open()
Don't give warnings when running mysql_install_db
Added option --source-install to mysql_install_db
I had to do the following renames() as used polymorphism didn't work with Forte compiler on 64 bit systems
index_read() -> index_read_map()
index_read_idx() -> index_read_idx_map()
index_read_last() -> index_read_last_map()
When DROP TABLE detects that it has been killed
by another thread it must unlock the table names
it locked.
Fixed by backporting the 5.1 error handling code.
