or trigger crashes server
Under some circumstances a combination of VIEWs, subselects with outer
references and PS/SP/triggers could lead to use of uninitialized memory
and server crash as a result.
Fixed by changing the code in Item_field::fix_fields() so that in cases
when the field is a VIEW reference, we first check whether the field
is also an outer reference, and mark it appropriately before returning.
on table creates
The problem was in incompatible syntax for key definition in CREATE
TABLE.
5.0 supports only the following syntax for key definition (see "CREATE
TABLE syntax" in the manual):
{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...)
While 5.1 parser supports the above syntax, the "preferred" syntax was
changed to:
{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] (index_col_name,...) [index_type]
The above syntax is used in 5.1 for the SHOW CREATE TABLE output, which
led to dumps generated by 5.1 being incompatible with 5.0.
Fixed by changing the parser in 5.0 to support both 5.0 and 5.1 syntax
for key definition.
The problem occurred when one had a subquery that had an equality X=Y where
Y referred to a named select list expression from the parent select. MySQL
crashed when trying to use the X=Y equality for ref-based access.
Fixed by allowing non-Item_field items in the described case.
The ROUND(X, D) function would change the Item::decimals field during
execution to achieve the effect of a dynamic number of decimal digits.
This caused a series of bugs:
Bug #30617:Round() function not working under some circumstances in InnoDB
Bug #33402:ROUND with decimal and non-constant cannot round to 0 decimal places
Bug #30889:filesort and order by with float/numeric crashes server
Fixed by never changing the number of shown digits for DECIMAL when
used with a nonconstant number of decimal digits.
The name resolution for correlated subqueries and HAVING clauses
failed to distinguish which of two was being performed when there
was a reference to an outer aliased field.
Fixed by adding the condition that HAVING clause name resulotion
is being performed.
value when inserting into a view.
The mysql_prepare_insert function checks all fields of the target table that
directly or indirectly (through a view) are specified in the INSERT
statement to have a default value. This check can be skipped if the INSERT
statement doesn't mention any insert fields. In case of a view this allows
fields that aren't mentioned in the view to bypass the check.
Now fields of the target table are always checked to have a default value
when insert goes into a view.
columns (default datatype value is assigned).
The mysql_update function has been modified to generate
an error when trying to set a NOT NULL field to NULL rather than a warning
in the set_field_to_null_with_conversions function.
When resolving references we need to take into consideration
the view "fields" and allow qualified access to them.
Fixed by extending the reference resolution to process view
fields correctly.
server crash.
The filesort implementation has an optimization for subquery execution which
consists of reusing previously allocated buffers. In particular the call to
the read_buffpek_from_file function might be skipped when a big enough buffer
for buffer descriptors (buffpeks) is already allocated. Beside allocating
memory for buffpeks this function fills allocated buffer with data read from
disk. Skipping it might led to using an arbitrary memory as fields' data and
finally to a crash.
Now the read_buffpek_from_file function is always called. It allocates
new buffer only when necessary, but always fill it with correct data.
to be compiled in
The problem was that on a statically built server an attempt to create
a UDF resulted in a different, but reasonable error ("Can't open shared
library" instead of "UDFs are unavailable with the --skip-grant-tables
option"), which caused a failure for the test case for bug #32020.
Fixed by moving the test case for bug #32020 from skip_grants.test to a
separate test to ensure that it is only run when the server is built
with support for dynamically loaded libraries.
w/ Field_date instead of Field_newdate
Field_date was still used in temp table creation.
Fixed by using Field_newdate consistently throughout the server
except when reading tables defined with older MySQL version.
No test suite is possible because both Field_date and Field_newdate
return the same values in all the metadata calls.
