This change set implements the DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS functionality.
This fix is considered a bug and not a feature, because without it,
there is no known method to write a database creation script that can create
a trigger without failing, when executed on a database that may or may not
contain already a trigger of the same name.
Implementing this functionality closes an orthogonality gap between triggers
and stored procedures / stored functions (which do support the DROP IF
EXISTS syntax).
In sql_trigger.cc, in mysql_create_or_drop_trigger,
the code has been reordered to:
- perform the tests that do not depend on the file system (access()),
- get the locks (wait_if_global_read_lock, LOCK_open)
- call access()
- perform the operation
- write to the binlog
- unlock (LOCK_open, start_waiting_global_read_lock)
This is to ensure that all the code that depends on the presence of the
trigger file is executed in the same critical section,
and prevents race conditions similar to the case fixed by Bug 14262 :
- thread 1 executes DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS, access() returns a failure
- thread 2 executes CREATE TRIGGER
- thread 2 logs CREATE TRIGGER
- thread 1 logs DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS
The patch itself is based on code contributed by the MySQL community,

can be not replicable.
Now CREATE statements for writing in the binlog are created as follows:
- the beginning of the statement is re-created;
- the rest of the statement is copied from the original query.
The problem appears when there is a version-specific comment (produced by
mysqldump), started in the re-created part of the statement and closed in the
copied part -- there is closing comment-parenthesis, but there is no opening
one.
The proper fix could be to re-create original statement, but we can not
implement it in 5.0. So, for 5.0 the fix is just to cut closing
comment-parenthesis. This technique is also used for SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE
statement (so we are able to reuse existing code).
The idea is to add DEFINER-clause in CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION
statements. Almost all support of definer in stored routines had been already
done before this patch.
NOTE: this patch changes behaviour of dumping stored routines in mysqldump.
Before this patch, mysqldump did not dump DEFINER-clause for stored routines
and this was documented behaviour. In order to get full information about stored
routines, one should have dumped mysql.proc table. This patch changes this
behaviour, so that DEFINER-clause is dumped.
Since DEFINER-clause is not supported in CREATE PROCEDURE | FUNCTION statements
before this patch, the clause is covered by additional version-specific comments.
The idea of the fix is to extend support of non-SUID triggers for backward
compatibility. Formerly non-SUID triggers were appeared when "new" server
is being started against "old" database. Now, they are also created when
"new" slave receives updates from "old" master.
This allows us to use statement replication with functions and triggers
The following things are fixed with this patch:
- NOW() and automatic timestamps takes the value from the main event for functions and triggers (which allows these to replicate with statement level logging)
- No side effects for triggers or functions with auto-increment values(), last_insert_id(), rand() or found_rows()
- Triggers can't return result sets
Fixes bugs:
#12480: NOW() is not constant in a trigger
#12481: Using NOW() in a stored function breaks statement based replication
#12482: Triggers has side effects with auto_increment values
#11587: trigger causes lost connection error
