BETWEEN was more lenient with regard to what it accepted as a DATE/DATETIME
in comparisons than greater-than and less-than were. ChangeSet makes < >
comparisons similarly robust with regard to trailing garbage (" GMT-1")
and "missing" leading zeros. Now all three comparators behave similarly
in that they throw a warning for "junk" at the end of the data, but then
proceed anyway if possible. Before < > fell back on a string- (rather than
date-) comparison when a warning-condition was raised in the string-to-date
conversion. Now the fallback only happens on actual errors, while warning-
conditions still result in a warning being to delivered to the client.
causes out of memory errors
The code in mysql_create_function() and mysql_drop_function() assumed
that the only reason for UDFs being uninitialized at that point is an
out-of-memory error during initialization. However, another possible
reason for that is the --skip-grant-tables option in which case UDF
initialization is skipped and UDFs are unavailable.
The solution is to check whether mysqld is running with
--skip-grant-tables and issue a proper error in such a case.
HOUR(), MINUTE(), ... returned spurious results when used on a DATE-cast.
This happened because DATE-cast object did not overload get_time() method
in superclass Item. The default method was inappropriate here and
misinterpreted the data.
Patch adds missing method; get_time() on DATE-casts now returns SQL-NULL
on NULL input, 0 otherwise. This coincides with the way DATE-columns
behave.
variable in where clause.
Problem: the new_item() method of Item_uint used an incorrect
constructor. "new Item_uint(name, max_length)" calls
Item_uint::Item_uint(const char *str_arg, uint length) which assumes the
first argument to be the string representation of the value, not the
item's name. This could result in either a server crash or incorrect
results depending on usage scenarios.
Fixed by using the correct constructor in new_item():
Item_uint::Item_uint(const char *str_arg, longlong i, uint length).
bug #26215: mysql command line client should not strip comments
from SQL statements
and
bug #11230: Keeping comments when storing stored procedures
With the introduction of multiline comments support in the command line
client (mysql) in MySQL 4.1, it became impossible to preserve
client-side comments within single SQL statements or stored routines.
This feature was useful for monitoring tools and maintenance.
The patch adds a new option to the command line client
('--enable-comments', '-c') which allows to preserve SQL comments and
send them to the server for single SQL statements, and to keep comments
in the code for stored procedures / functions / triggers.
The patch is a modification of the contributed patch from bug #11230
with the following changes:
- code style changes to conform to the coding guidelines
- changed is_prefix() to my_strnncoll() to detect the DELIMITER
command, since the first one is case-sensitive and not charset-aware
- renamed t/comments-51.* to t/mysql_comments.*
- removed tests for comments in triggers since 5.0 does not have SHOW
CREATE TRIGGER (those tests will be added back in 5.1).
The test cases are only for bug #11230. No automated test case for bug
#26215 is possible due to the test suite deficiencies (though the cases
from the bug report were tested manually).
The HAVING clause is subject to the same rules as the SELECT list
about using aggregated and non-aggregated columns.
But this was not enforced when processing implicit grouping from
using aggregate functions.
Fixed by performing the same checks for HAVING as for SELECT.
Item_in_subselect's only externally callable method is val_bool().
However the nullability in the wrapper class (Item_in_optimizer) is
established by calling the "forbidden" method val_int().
Fixed to use the correct method (val_bool() ) to establish nullability
of Item_in_subselect in Item_in_optimizer.
Item_func_inet_ntoa and Item_func_conv inherit 'maybe_null' flag from an
argument, which is wrong.
Both can be NULL with notnull arguments, so that's fixed.
There are two problems with ROUND(X, D) on an exact numeric
(DECIMAL, NUMERIC type) field of a table:
1) The implementation of the ROUND function would change the number of decimal
places regardless of the value decided upon in fix_length_and_dec. When the
number of decimal places is not constant, this would cause an inconsistent
state where the number of digits was less than the number of decimal places,
which crashes filesort.
Fixed by not allowing the ROUND operation to add any more decimal places than
was decided in fix_length_and_dec.
2) fix_length_and_dec would allow the number of decimals to be greater than
the maximium configured value for constant values of D. This led to the same
crash as in (1).
Fixed by not allowing the above in fix_length_and_dec.
The fix is a copy of Martin Friebe's suggestion.
added testing for no_appended which will be false if anything,
including the empty string is in result
SHOW FIELDS FROM a view with no valid definer was possible (since fix
for Bug#26817), but gave NULL as a field-type. This led to mysqldump-ing
of such views being successful, but loading such a dump with the client
failing. Patch allows SHOW FIELDS to give data-type of field in underlying
table.
doesn't recognize it
This is a 5.0 version of the patch, it will be null-merged to 5.1
Problem:
'log' and 'log_slow_queries' were "fixed" variables, i.e. they showed up
in SHOW VARIABLES, but could not be used in expressions like
"select @@log". Also, using them in the SET statement produced an
incorrect "unknown system variable" error.
Solution:
Make 'log' and 'log_slow_queries' read-only dynamic variables to make
them available for use in expressions, and produce a correct error
about the variable being read-only when used in the SET statement.
all space column names.
The parser has been modified to check VIEW column names
with the check_column_name function and to report an error
on empty and all space column names (same as for TABLE
column names).

The optimizer pre-calculates the MIN/MAX values for queries like
SELECT MIN(kp_k) WHERE kp_1 = const AND ... AND kp_k-1 = const
when there is a key over kp_1...kp_k
In doing so it was not checking correctly nullability and
there was a superfluous assert().
Fixed by making sure that the field can be null before checking and
taking out the wrong assert().
.
Introduced a correct check for nullability
The MIN(field) can return NULL when all the row values in the group
are NULL-able or if there were no rows.
Fixed the assertion to reflect the case when there are no rows.
in the SELECT INTO OUTFILE clause starts with a special
character (one of n, t, r, b, 0, Z or N) and ENCLOSED BY
is empty, every occurrence of this character within a
field value is duplicated.
Duplication has been avoided.
New warning message has been added: "First character of
the FIELDS TERMINATED string is ambiguous; please use
non-optional and non-empty FIELDS ENCLOSED BY".
