The REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM query silently corrupts data of tables
with old .FRM file version.
The mysql_upgrade client program or the REPAIR TABLE query (without
the USE_FRM clause) can't prevent this trouble, because in the
common case they don't upgrade .FRM file to compatible structure.
1. Evaluation of the REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM query has been
modified to reject such tables with the message:
"Failed repairing incompatible .FRM file".
2. REPAIR TABLE query (without USE_FRM clause) evaluation has been
modified to upgrade .FRM files to current version.
3. CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE query evaluation has been modified
to return error status when .FRM file has incompatible version.
4. mysql_upgrade and mysqlcheck client programs call CHECK TABLE
FOR UPGRADE and REPAIR TABLE queries, so their behaviors have
been changed too to upgrade .FRM files with incompatible
version numbers.
Kill of a CREATE TABLE source_table LIKE statement waiting for a
name-lock on the source table causes a bad lock interaction.
The mysql_create_like_table() has a bug that if the connection is
killed while waiting for the name-lock on the source table, it will
jump to the wrong error path and try to unlock the source table and
LOCK_open, but both weren't locked.
The solution is to simple return when the name lock request is killed,
it's safe to do so because no lock was acquired and no cleanup is needed.
Original bug report also contains description of other problems
related to this scenario but they either already fixed in 5.1 or
will be addressed separately (see bug report for details).
in mysql_creata_like_table() we 'downcase' the complete path to the
.frm file. It works fine in standalone case as there usually
we only have './' as a path to the datahome, but doesn't work in
the embedded server where we add the real path there, so if a
directory has uppercase letters in it's name, it won't be found.
Fixed by 'downcasing' only database/table pair.
file .\ha_innodb.
Problem: if a partial unique key followed by a non-partial one we declare
the second one as a primary key.
Fix: sort non-partial unique keys before partial ones.
Inserting Data.
The problem was that under some circumstances Field class was not
properly initialized before calling create_length_to_internal_length()
function, which led to assert failure.
The fix is to do the proper initialization.
The user-visible problem was that under some circumstances
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement crashed the server or led
to wrong error message (wrong results).
CPUs / Intel's ICC compile
The bug is a combination of two problems:
1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.
2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.
It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.
This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.
Fixed the usage of spatial data (and Point in specific) with
non-spatial indexes.
Several problems :
- The length of the Point class was not updated to include the
spatial reference system identifier. Fixed by increasing with 4
bytes.
- The storage length of the spatial columns was not accounting for
the length that is prepended to it. Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and thus increasing the storage
length)
- When creating the key image for comparison in index read wrong
key image was created (the one needed for and r-tree search,
not the one for b-tree/other search). Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and creating the correct kind of
image based on the index type).
When DROP TABLE detects that it has been killed
by another thread it must unlock the table names
it locked.
Fixed by backporting the 5.1 error handling code.
Bug #27417 thd->no_trans_update.stmt lost value inside of SF-exec-stack
Once had been set the flag might later got reset inside of a stored routine
execution stack.
The reason was in that there was no check if a new statement started at time
of resetting.
The artifact affects most of binlogable DML queries. Notice, that multi-update
is wrapped up within
bug@27716 fix, multi-delete bug@29136.
Fixed with saving parent's statement flag of whether the statement modified
non-transactional table, and unioning (merging) the value with that was gained
in mysql_execute_command.
Resettling thd->no_trans_update members into thd->transaction.`member`;
Asserting code;
Effectively the following properties are held.
1. At the end of a substatement thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table
reflects the fact if such a table got modified by the substatement.
That also respects THD::really_abort_on_warnin() requirements.
2. Eventually thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table will be computed as
the union of the values of all invoked sub-statements.
That fixes this bug#27417;
Computing of thd->transaction.all.modified_non_trans_table is refined to base to
the stmt's value for all the case including insert .. select statement which
before the patch had an extra issue bug@28960.
Minor issues are covered with mysql_load, mysql_delete, and binloggin of insert in
to temp_table select.
The supplied test verifies limitely, mostly asserts. The ultimate testing is defered
for bug@13270, bug@23333.
between perm and temp tables. Review fixes.
The original bug report complains that if we locked a temporary table
with LOCK TABLES statement, we would not leave LOCK TABLES mode
when this temporary table is dropped.
Additionally, the bug was escalated when it was discovered than
when a temporary transactional table that was previously
locked with LOCK TABLES statement was dropped, futher actions with
this table, such as UNLOCK TABLES, would lead to a crash.
The problem originates from incomplete support of transactional temporary
tables. When we added calls to handler::store_lock()/handler::external_lock()
to operations that work with such tables, we only covered the normal
server code flow and did not cover LOCK TABLES mode.
In LOCK TABLES mode, ::external_lock(LOCK) would sometimes be called without
matching ::external_lock(UNLOCK), e.g. when a transactional temporary table
was dropped. Additionally, this table would be left in the list of LOCKed
TABLES.
The patch aims to address this inadequacy. Now, whenever an instance
of 'handler' is destroyed, we assert that it was priorly
external_lock(UNLOCK)-ed. All the places that violate this assert
were fixed.
This patch introduces no changes in behavior -- the discrepancy in
behavior will be fixed when we start calling ::store_lock()/::external_lock()
for all tables, regardless whether they are transactional or not,
temporary or not.
Removed duplicate call to handler::external_lock() when
ALTER TABLE that doesn't need to copy a table (quick
ALTER TABLE) was executed.
Also quick ALTER TABLE doesn't hold LOCK_open anymore when
it enables/disables indexes.
Problem: we may break a multibyte char sequence using a key
reduced to maximum allowed length for a storage engine
(that leads to failed assertion in the innodb code,
see also #17530).
Fix: align truncated key length to multibyte char boundary.
By default MyISAM overwrites .MYD and .MYI files no
DATA DIRECTORY option is used. This can lead to two tables
using the same .MYD and .MYI files (that can't be dropped).
To prevent CREATE TABLE from overwriting a file a new option
is introduced : keep_files_on_create
When this is on the CREATE TABLE throws an error if either
the .MYD or .MYI exists for a MyISAM table.
The option is off by default (resulting in compatible behavior).
When constructing the path to the original .frm file ALTER .. RENAME
was unnecessary (and incorrectly) lowercasing the whole path when not
on a case-insensitive filesystem.
This path should not be modified because of lower_case_table_names
as it is already in the correct case according to that setting.
Fixed by removing the lowercasing.
Unfortunately testing this would require running the tests on a case
sensitive filesystem in a directory that has uppercase letters.
This cannot be guaranteed in all setups so no test case added.
SHOW CREATE TABLE fails
Underlying table names, that merge engine fails to open were not
reported.
With this fix CHECK TABLE issued against merge table reports all
underlying table names that it fails to open. Other statements
are unaffected, that is underlying table names are not included
into error message.
This fix doesn't solve SHOW CREATE TABLE issue.
Problem: we may create a deadlock committing changes in the mysql_alter_table() when
LOCK_open is set. Moreover, "in some variants of the ALTER TABLE commit
happens earlier, outside of LOCK_open, in other later - inside. It's no good, a storage
engine code that is called in between could expect a consistency - either there is a
transaction or there is not".
Fix: move the commit to happen earlier and outside of the LOCK_open.
Bug #23667 "CREATE TABLE LIKE is not isolated from alteration
by other connections"
Bug #18950 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not obtain LOCK_open"
As well as:
Bug #25578 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not require any privileges
on source table".
The first and the second bugs resulted in various errors and wrong
binary log order when one tried to execute concurrently CREATE TABLE LIKE
statement and DDL statements on source table or DML/DDL statements on its
target table.
The problem was caused by incomplete protection/table-locking against
concurrent statements implemented in mysql_create_like_table() routine.
We solve it by simply implementing such protection in proper way (see
comment for sql_table.cc for details).
The third bug allowed user who didn't have any privileges on table create
its copy and therefore circumvent privilege check for SHOW CREATE TABLE.
This patch solves this problem by adding privilege check, which was missing.
Finally it also removes some duplicated code from mysql_create_like_table().
Note that, altough tests covering concurrency-related aspects of CREATE TABLE
LIKE behaviour will only be introduced in 5.1, they were run manually for
this patch as well.
mode.
When a new DATE/DATETIME field without default value is being added by the
ALTER TABLE the '0000-00-00' value is used as the default one. But it wasn't
checked whether such value was allowed by the set sql mode. Due to this
'0000-00-00' values was allowed for DATE/DATETIME fields even in the
NO_ZERO_DATE mode.
Now the mysql_alter_table() function checks whether the '0000-00-00' value
is allowed for DATE/DATETIME fields by the set sql mode.
The new error_if_not_empty flag is used in the mysql_alter_table() function
to indicate that it should abort if the table being altered isn't empty.
The new new_datetime_field field is used in the mysql_alter_table() function
for error throwing purposes.
The new error_if_not_empty parameter is added to the copy_data_between_tables()
function to indicate the it should return error if the source table isn't empty.
Bug #20662 "Infinite loop in CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT
with locked tables"
Bug #20903 "Crash when using CREATE TABLE .. SELECT and triggers"
Bug #24738 "CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is not isolated properly"
Bug #24508 "Inconsistent results of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT when
temporary table exists"
Deadlock occured when one tried to execute CREATE TABLE IF NOT
EXISTS ... SELECT statement under LOCK TABLES which held
read lock on target table.
Attempt to execute the same statement for already existing
target table with triggers caused server crashes.
Also concurrent execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement
and other statements involving target table suffered from
various races (some of which might've led to deadlocks).
Finally, attempt to execute CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in case
when a temporary table with same name was already present
led to the insertion of data into this temporary table and
creation of empty non-temporary table.
All above problems stemmed from the old implementation of CREATE
TABLE ... SELECT in which we created, opened and locked target
table without any special protection in a separate step and not
with the rest of tables used by this statement.
This underminded deadlock-avoidance approach used in server
and created window for races. It also excluded target table
from prelocking causing problems with trigger execution.
The patch solves these problems by implementing new approach to
handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for base tables.
We try to open and lock table to be created at the same time as
the rest of tables used by this statement. If such table does not
exist at this moment we create and place in the table cache special
placeholder for it which prevents its creation or any other usage
by other threads.
We still use old approach for creation of temporary tables.
Also note that we decided to postpone introduction of some tests
for concurrent behaviour of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT till 5.1.
The main reason for this is absence in 5.0 ability to set @@debug
variable at runtime, which can be circumvented only by using several
test files with individual .opt files. Since the latter is likely
to slowdown test-suite unnecessary we chose not to push this tests
into 5.0, but run them manually for this version and later push
their optimized version into 5.1
