Problem:
HASH indexes on VARCHAR columns with binary collations did not ignore trailing spaces from strings before comparisons. This could result in duplicate records being successfully inserted into a MEMORY table with unique key constraints.
As a direct consequence of the above, internal MEMORY tables used for GROUP BY calculation in testcases for bug #27643 contained duplicate rows which resulted in duplicate key errors when converting those temporary tables to MyISAM. Additionally, that error was incorrectly converted to the 'table is full' error.
Solution:
- ignore trailing spaces in VARCHAR fields with binary collations when calculating hashes.
- return a proper error from create_myisam_from_heap() when conversion fails.
Problem: there is an ASSERT() in the Log_event::read_log_event() checking the integrity
of the event's data that may fail.
Fix: move the assert's condition to an explicit check.
Problem: altering a bit field we use Field::is_equal() to check if the bit
field is changed. Comparing the field type is not enough for bit fields.
Fix: add proper Field_bit::is_equal() that compares the field lengths as well.
When storing a large number to a FLOAT or DOUBLE field with fixed length, it could be incorrectly truncated if the field's length was greater than 31.
This patch also does some code cleanups to be able to reuse code which is common between Field_float::store() and Field_double::store().
On some Linux distributions with both LinuxThreads and NPTL glibc versions available, statically built binaries can crash, because linker defaults to LinuxThreads when linking statically, but calls to external libraries (like libnss) are resolved to NPTL versions.
Since there is nothing we can do in the code to work that around, just give user an advice on how to fix that, if a crash happened on such a binary/OS combination.
bug #26842: master binary log contains invalid queries - replication fails
bug #12826: Possible to get inconsistent slave using SQL syntax Prepared Statements
Problem:
binlogging PS' we may produce syntacticly incorrect queries in the binlog replacing
some parameters with variable names (instead of variable values).
E.g. in the reported case of "limit ?" clause: replacing "?" with "@var"
produces "limit @var" which is not a correct SQL syntax.
Also it may lead to different query execution on slave if we
set and use a variable in the same statement, e.g.
"insert into t1 values (@x:=@x+1, ?)"
Fix: make the stored statement string created upon its execution use variable values
(instead of names) to fill placeholders.
- The "mysql client in mysqld"(which is used by
replication and federated) should use alarms instead of setting
socket timeout value if the rest of the server uses alarm. By
always calling 'my_net_set_write_timeout'
or 'my_net_set_read_timeout' when changing the timeout value(s), the
selection whether to use alarms or timeouts will be handled by
ifdef's in those two functions.
- Move declaration of 'vio_timeout' into "vio_priv.h"
We access some variable values using casts like *(long *) buff
that may cause crashes on some platforms (e.g. solaris 64) if buff is
not properly aligned.
Fix: align the buffer used.
