Having maybe_null flag unset for geometry/spatial functions leads to
wrong Item_func_isnull::val_int()'s results.
Fix: set maybe_null flag and add is_null() methods.
- Starting time of a query sent by file bootstrapping wasn't initialized
and starting time defaulted to 0. This later used value by the Now-
item and is translated to 1970-01-01 11:00:00.
- marking the time with thd->set_time() before the call to
mysql_parse resolves this issue.
ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good character in some locales.
This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from
being used. Now if 0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an error.
Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This solution should
serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with ',' in their enums), but
WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/
That is, mysqldump with their current server, and restore when upgrading to one with
this patch.
"update existingtable set anycolumn=nonexisting order by nonexisting" would crash
the server.
Though we would find the reference to a field, that doesn't mean we can then use
it to set some values. It could be a reference to another field. If it is NULL,
don't try to use it to set values in the Item_field and instead return an error.
Over the previous patch, this signals an error at the location of the error, rather
than letting the subsequent deref signal it.
The 0000 year is valid.
The ISO standard for "Representation of dates and times" says:
"Calendar years are numbered in ascending order according to the
Gregorian calendar by values in the range [0000] to [9999]."
Reverted fix for 21789: DATETIME with 0000-00-00 11:22:33 should be invalid, but is accepted
as it's not a bug.
Fix for 19370: DateTime datatype in MySQL has two bugs in it
will be reverted during 4.1 -> 5.0 merging as it was pushed to the
5.0 tree.
When a merge table is opened compare column and key definition of
underlying tables against column and key definition of merge table.
If any of underlying tables have different column/key definition
refuse to open merge table.
Depending on the queries we use different data processing methods
and can lose some data in case of double (and decimal in 4.1) fields.
The fix consists of two parts:
1. double comparison changed, now double a is equal to double b
if (a-b) is less than 5*0.1^(1 + max(a->decimals, b->decimals)).
For example, if a->decimals==1, b->decimals==2, a==b if (a-b)<0.005
2. if we use a temporary table, store double values there as is
to avoid any data conversion (rounding).
The bug report has demonstrated the following two problems.
1. If an ORDER/GROUP BY list includes a constant expression being
optimized away and, at the same time, containing single-row
subselects that return more that one row, no error is reported.
Strictly speaking the standard allows to ignore error in this case.
Yet, now a corresponding fatal error is reported in this case.
2. If a query requires sorting by expressions containing single-row
subselects that, however, return more than one row, then the execution
of the query may cause a server crash.
To fix this some code has been added that blocks execution of a subselect
item in case of a fatal error in the method Item_subselect::exec.
files. This helps stability of multiple parallel automated test runs,
avoiding the situation where one bad build fills up disk with 1000s of
core files, causing failures in other test runs.
WL#3681 (ALTER TABLE ORDER BY)
Before this fix, the ALTER TABLE statement implemented an ORDER BY option
with the following characteristics :
1) The order by clause accepts a list of criteria, with optional ASC or
DESC keywords
2) Each criteria can be a general expression, involving operators,
native functions, stored functions, user defined functions, subselects ...
With this fix :
1) has been left unchanged, since it's a de-facto existing feature,
that was already present in the code base and partially covered in the test
suite. Code coverage for ASC and DESC was missing and has been improved.
2) has been changed to limit the kind of criteria that are permissible:
now only a column name is valid.
for queries using 'range checked for each record'.
The problem was fixed in 5.0 by the patch for bug 12291.
This patch down-ported the corresponding code from 5.0 into
QUICK_SELECT::init() and added a new test case.
correctly.
The Item_func::print method was used to print the Item_func_encode and the
Item_func_decode objects. The last argument to ENCODE and DECODE functions
is a plain C string and thus Item_func::print wasn't able to print it.
The print() method is added to the Item_func_encode class. It correctly
prints the Item_func_encode and the Item_func_decode objects.
WHERE is present.
If a DELETE statement with ORDER BY and LIMIT contains a WHERE clause
with conditions that for sure cannot be used for index access (like in
WHERE @var:= field) the execution always follows the filesort path.
It happens currently even when for the above case there is an index that
can be used to speedup sorting by the order by list.
Now if a DELETE statement with ORDER BY and LIMIT contains such WHERE
clause conditions that cannot be used to build any quick select then
the mysql_delete() tries to use an index like there is no WHERE clause at all.
In the method Item_field::fix_fields we try to resolve the name of
the field against the names of the aliases that occur in the select
list. This is done by a call of the function find_item_in_list.
When this function finds several occurrences of the field name
it sends an error message to the error queue and returns 0.
Yet the code did not take into account that find_item_in_list
could return 0 and tried to dereference the returned value.
The function mi_get_pointer_length() computed too small
pointer size for very large tables.
Inserted missing 'else' between the branches for very
large tables.
An update that used a join of a table to itself and modified the
table on one side of the join reported the table as crashed or
updated wrong rows.
Fixed by creating temporary table for self-joined multi update statement.
- When this bug was corrected it changed the behavior
for data/index directory in the myisam test case.
- This patch moves the OS depending tests to a non-windows
test file.
Bug#4968 "Stored procedure crash if cursor opened on altered table"
Bug#19733 "Repeated alter, or repeated create/drop, fails"
Bug#19182 "CREATE TABLE bar (m INT) SELECT n FROM foo; doesn't work from
stored procedure."
Bug#6895 "Prepared Statements: ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN does nothing"
Bug#22060 "ALTER TABLE x AUTO_INCREMENT=y in SP crashes server"
Test cases for bugs 4968, 19733, 6895 will be added in 5.0.
Re-execution of CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE
statements in stored routines or as prepared statements caused
incorrect results (and crashes in versions prior to 5.0.25).
In 5.1 the problem occured only for CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE
SELECT and CREATE TABLE with INDEX/DATA DIRECTOY options).
The problem of bugs 4968, 19733, 19282 and 6895 was that functions
mysql_prepare_table, mysql_create_table and mysql_alter_table were not
re-execution friendly: during their operation they used to modify contents
of LEX (members create_info, alter_info, key_list, create_list),
thus making the LEX unusable for the next execution.
In particular, these functions removed processed columns and keys from
create_list, key_list and drop_list. Search the code in sql_table.cc
for drop_it.remove() and similar patterns to find evidence.
The fix is to supply to these functions a usable copy of each of the
above structures at every re-execution of an SQL statement.
To simplify memory management, LEX::key_list and LEX::create_list
were added to LEX::alter_info, a fresh copy of which is created for
every execution.
The problem of crashing bug 22060 stemmed from the fact that the above
metnioned functions were not only modifying HA_CREATE_INFO structure in
LEX, but also were changing it to point to areas in volatile memory of
the execution memory root.
The patch solves this problem by creating and using an on-stack
copy of HA_CREATE_INFO (note that code in 5.1 already creates and
uses a copy of this structure in mysql_create_table()/alter_table(),
but this approach didn't work well for CREATE TABLE SELECT statement).
- Using DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY option on Windows put data/index file into
default directory because the OS doesn't support readlink().
- The procedure for changing data/index file directory is
different under Windows.
- With this fix we report a warning if DATA/INDEX option is used,
but OS doesn't support readlink().
table
ROW_FORMAT option is lost during CREATE/DROP INDEX.
This fix forces CREATE/DROP INDEX to retain ROW_FORMAT by instructing
mysql_alter_table() that ROW_FORMAT is not used during creating/dropping
indexes.
The problem is that the GEOMETRY NOT NULL can't automatically set
any value as a default one. We always tried to complete LOAD DATA
command even if there's not enough data in file. That doesn't work
for GEOMETRY NOT NULL. Now Field_*::reset() returns an error sign
and it's checked in mysql_load()
Problem: replication of LC_TIME_NAMES didn't work.
Thus, INSERTS or UPDATES using date_format() always
worked with en_US on the slave side.
Fix: adding ONE_SHOT implementation for LC_TIME_NAMES.
This error is displayed anytime the SELECT statement needs a temp table to
return correct results because the object (select_dumpvar) that represents
variables named in the INTO clause stored the results before the temp
table was considered. The problem was fixed by creating the necessary
Item_func_set_user_var objects once the correct data is ready.
ALTER TABLE DISABLE KEYS doesn't work when modifying the table
ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with another ALTER TABLE option, different
than RENAME TO did nothing. Also, if the table had disabled keys
and was ALTER-ed then the end table was with enabled keys.
Fixed by checking whether the table had disabled keys and enabling them
in the copied table.
mysql-test-run.pl:
Removed "use diagnostics", reduces Perl speed significantly. Can be
enabled with "perl -Mdiagnostics mysql-test-run.pl".
mtr_report.pl:
Don't try output "skipped" comment if there is none (bug#24471)
traces in Valgrind (broken libc6-dbg).
Installing libc6-dbg on Debian will still provide proper bactraces, even
without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly.
There was an improper order of doing chained operations.
To the documentor: ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with RENAME TO, and no other
ALTER TABLE clause, leads to server crash independent of the presence of
indices and data in the table.
The problem was that some functions (namely IN() starting with 4.1, and
CHAR() starting with 5.0) were returning NULL in certain conditions,
while they didn't set their maybe_null flag. Because of that there could
be some problems with 'IS NULL' check, and statements that depend on the
function value domain, like CREATE TABLE t1 SELECT 1 IN (2, NULL);.
The fix is to set maybe_null correctly.
The server sends a number of columns to the client.
It uses a limited "fast" function for that instead of the
general one. This fast function cannot send numbers larger
than 2 bytes.
This causes the client to expect smaller number of columns.
The client writes outside of the allocated memory buffer
as a result.
Fixed the server to use the general function to send column
count.
Fixed the client to check the column count before writing
column data.
