some rollup rows (rows with NULLs for grouping attributes) if GROUP BY
list contained constant expressions.
This happened because the results of constant expressions were not put
in the temporary table used for duplicate elimination. In fact a constant
item from the GROUP BY list of a ROLLUP query can be replaced for an
Item_null_result object when a rollup row is produced .
Now the JOIN::rollup_init function wraps any constant item referenced in
the GROYP BY list of a ROLLUP query into an Item_func object of a special
class that is never detected as constant item. This ensures creation of
fields for such constant items in temporary tables and guarantees right
results when the result of the rollup operation first has to be written
into a temporary table, e.g. in the cases when duplicate elimination is
required.
INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE may cause error 1032:
"Can't find record in ..." if we are inserting into
InnoDB table unique index of partial key with
underlying UTF-8 string field.
This error occurs because INSERT...ON DUPLICATE uses a wrong
procedure to copy string fields of multi-byte character sets
for index search.
This bug occurs when error message length exceeds allowed limit: my_error()
function outputs "%s" sequences instead of long string arguments.
Formats like %-.64s are very common in errmsg.txt files, however my_error()
function simply ignores precision of those formats.
IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX hints were honored when choosing FULLTEXT
index.
With this fix these hints are ignored. For regular indexes we may
perform table scan instead of index lookup when IGNORE INDEX was
specified. We cannot do this for FULLTEXT in NLQ mode.
are used as arguments of the IN predicate.
Added a function to check compatibility of row expressions. Made sure that this
function to be called for Item_func_in objects by fix_length_and_dec().
MERGE engine may return incorrect values when several representations
of equal keys are present in the index. For example "groß" and "gross"
or "gross" and "gross " (trailing space), which are considered equal,
but have different lengths.
The problem was that key length was not recalculated after key lookup.
Only MERGE engine is affected.
IN/BETWEEN predicates in sorting expressions.
Wrong results may occur when the select list contains an expression
with IN/BETWEEN predicate that differs from a sorting expression by
an additional NOT only.
Added the method Item_func_opt_neg::eq to compare correctly expressions
containing [NOT] IN/BETWEEN.
The eq method inherited from the Item_func returns TRUE when comparing
'a IN (1,2)' with 'a NOT IN (1,2)' that is not, of course, correct.
Pushbuild fixes:
- Make MAX_SEL_ARGS smaller (even 16K records_in_range() calls is
more than it makes sense to do in typical cases)
- Don't call sel_arg->test_use_count() if we've already allocated
more than MAX_SEL_ARGs elements. The test will succeed but will take
too much time for the test suite (and not provide much value).
- GRANT and REVOKE statments didn't have the "updating" flag set and
thus statements with a table specified would not replicate if
slave filtering rules where turned on.
For example "GRANT ... ON test.t1 TO ..." would not replicate.
Thanks to Martin Friebe for finding and submitting a fix for this bug!
A table with maximum number of key segments and maximum length key name
would have a corrupted .frm file, due to an incorrect calculation of the
complete key length. Now the key length is computed correctly (I hope) :-)
MyISAM would reject a table with the maximum number of keys and the maximum
number of key segments in all keys. It would allow one less than this total
maximum. Now MyISAM accepts a table defined with the maximum. (This is a
very minor issue.)
- Added PARAM::alloced_sel_args where we count the # of SEL_ARGs
created by SEL_ARG tree cloning operations.
- Made the range analyzer to shortcut and not do any more cloning
if we've already created MAX_SEL_ARGS SEL_ARG objects in cloning.
- Added comments about space complexity of SEL_ARG-graph
representation.
causes incorrect duplicate entries
Keys for BTREE indexes on ENUM and SET columns of MEMORY tables
with character set UTF8 were computed incorrectly. Many
different column values got the same key value.
Apart of possible performance problems, it made unique indexes
of this type unusable because it rejected many different
values as duplicates.
The problem was that multibyte character detection was tried
on the internal numeric column value. Many values were not
identified as characters. Their key value became blank filled.
Thanks to Alexander Barkov and Ramil Kalimullin for the patch,
which sets the character set of ENUM and SET key segments to
the pseudo binary character set.
to 0 causes wrong (large) length to be read
from the row in _mi_calc_blob_length() when
storing NULL values in (e.g) POINT columns.
This large length is then used to allocate
a block of memory that (on some OSes) causes
trouble.
Fixed by calling the base class's
Field_blob::reset() from Field_geom::reset()
that is called when storing a NULL value into
the column.
fix for cast( AS DATETIME) + 0 operation.
I just implemented Item_datetime_typecast::val() method
as it is usually done in other classes.
Should be fixed more radically in 5.0
Shift the ID values up into a range where they will not collide with those
which we use for real data, when we fill the system tables.
Will be merged up to 5.0 where it is needed for 5.0.38.
Using a MEMORY table BTREE index for scanning for updatable rows
could lead to an infinite loop.
Everytime a key was inserted into a btree index, the position
in the index scan was cleared. The search started from the
beginning and found the same key again.
Now we do not clear the position on key insert an more.
when index is used
When the table contained TEXT columns with empty contents
('', zero length, but not NULL) _and_ strings starting with
control characters like tabulator or newline, the empty values
were not found in a "records in range" estimate. Hence count(*)
missed these records.
The reason was a different set of search flags used for key
insert and key range estimation.
I decided to fix the set of flags used in range estimation.
Otherwise millions of databases around the world would require
a repair after an upgrade.
The consequence is that the manual must be fixed, which claims
that TEXT columns are compared with "end space padding". This
is true for CHAR/VARCHAR but wrong for TEXT. See also bug 21335.
differences in tables
Certain merge tables were wrongly reported as having incorrect definition:
- Some fields that are 1 byte long (e.g. TINYINT, CHAR(1)), might
be internally casted (in certain cases) to a different type on a
storage engine layer. (affects 4.1 and up)
- If tables in a merge (and a MERGE table itself) had short VARCHAR column (less
than 4 bytes) and at least one (but not all) tables were ALTER'ed (even to an
identical table: ALTER TABLE xxx ENGINE=yyy), table definitions went ouf of
sync. (affects 4.1 only)
This is fixed by relaxing a check for underlying conformance and setting
field type to FIELD_TYPE_STRING in case varchar is shorter than 4
when a table is created.
