- Define Sql_alloc::operator new() as thow() so that C++ compiler
handles NULL return values
(there is no testcase as there is no portable way to set limit on the
amount of memory that a process can allocate)
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).
The problem: base_list::remove didn't modify base_list::last when removing
the last list element.
The fix: If we remove the last element, find the element before it (by walking
from the beginning of the list) and set base_list::last accordingly.
The list gets corrupted in both 4.0 and 4.1. There are no visible problems in
current 4.1 because current 4.1 doesn't call where_cond->fix_fields() after
constant propagation step.
delete is declared. As we don't use exceptions placement delete is never
called and the fix only affects numerous warnings when
compiling with MS Visual C++.

Ensure that references in HAVING, ORDER BY or GROUP BY are calculated after fields in SELECT.
This will ensure that any reference to these has a valid value.
Generalized the code for split_sum_func()
Fixed compiler warnings (a lot of hidden variables detected by the Forte compiler)
Added a lot of 'version_xxx' strings to 'show variables'
Prevent copying of TMP_TABLE_PARAM (This caused core dump bug on Solaris)
Fixed problem with printing sub selects to debug log
bmove_allign -> bmove_align
Added OLAP function ROLLUP
Split mysql_fix_privilege_tables to a script and a .sql data file
Added new (MEMROOT*) functions to avoid calling current_thd() when creating some common objects.
Added table_alias_charset, for easier --lower-case-table-name handling
Better SQL_MODE handling (Setting complex options also sets sub options)
New (faster) assembler string functions for x86
Warning handling and initial prepared statement handling (last not complete yet)
Changed a lot of functions that returned 0/1 to my_bool type.
GRANT handling now uses read/write locks instead of mutex
Change basic net functions to use THD instead of NET
(needed for 4.1 protocol)
Use my_sprintf instead of sprintf() + strlen()
Added alloc_query() to be able to chare query initialization code with
prepared statements.
Cleanup handling of SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS and SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
Note that the following test fails (will be fixed ASAP):
sub_select, union, rpl_rotate_logs and rpl_mystery22
new file
Client-server protocol 4.1 changes - Server side:
* Enhanced metadata information:
- SHOW [COUNT(*)] ERRORS [LIMIT [offset,] rows]
- SHOW [COUNT(*)] WARNING [LIMIT [offset,] rows]
- SHOW TABLE TYPES
- SHOW PRIVILEGES
- SHOW COLUMN TYPES (Not fully implemented)
* Prepared execution
* Long data handling in pieces
* And other misc changes
New faster list iterators
Change list code to be simpler and faster
Optimize count(distinct)
New error messages for UNION
Make create_tmp_table more general to be usable by UNION
fixed concurrency bug with a very quickly disconnecting client -
the client could disconnect and delete thd before pthread_create
could write to &thd->real_id
sql/sql_list.h
while tracking down the bug, made new/delete go through my_malloc/my_free
for ilink - did not help, but this is better anyway - cleaner exit with a message in
out of memory codition at least.
