Mixing aggregate functions and non-grouping columns is not allowed in the
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode. However in some cases the error wasn't thrown because
of insufficient check.
In order to check more thoroughly the new algorithm employs a list of outer
fields used in a sum function and a SELECT_LEX::full_group_by_flag.
Each non-outer field checked to find out whether it's aggregated or not and
the current select is marked accordingly.
All outer fields that are used under an aggregate function are added to the
Item_sum::outer_fields list and later checked by the Item_sum::check_sum_func
function.
Queries like:
SELECT ROW(1, 2) IN (SELECT t1.a, 2)
FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
or
SELECT ROW(1, 2) IN (SELECT t1.a, 2 FROM t2)
FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
lead to assertion failure in the
Item_in_subselect::row_value_transformer method in debugging
build, or to unexpected error message in release build:
ERROR 1247 (42S22): Reference '<list ref>' not supported (forward
reference in item list)
Unexpected error message and assertion failure have been
eliminated.
The problem is that passing anything other than a integer to a limit
clause in a prepared statement would fail. This limitation was introduced
to avoid replication problems (e.g: replicating the statement with a
string argument would cause a parse failure in the slave).
The solution is to convert arguments to the limit clause to a integer
value and use this converted value when persisting the query to the log.
NAME_CONST('whatever', -1) * MAX(whatever) bombed since -1 was
not seen as constant, but as FUNCTION_UNARY_MINUS(constant)
while we are at the same time pretending it was a basic const
item. This confused the aggregate handlers in exciting ways.
We now make NAME_CONST() behave more consistently.
breaks replication
NAME_CONST() didn't replicate constant character set and collation
correctly.
With this fix NAME_CONST() inherits collation from the value argument.
when executed in version 5
Zero fill is a field attribute only. So we can't always
propagate constants for zerofill fields : the values and
expression results don't have that flag.
Fixed by converting the const value to a string and
using that in const propagation when the context allows it.
Disable const propagation for fields with ZEROFILL flag in
all the other cases.
or trigger crashes server
Under some circumstances a combination of VIEWs, subselects with outer
references and PS/SP/triggers could lead to use of uninitialized memory
and server crash as a result.
Fixed by changing the code in Item_field::fix_fields() so that in cases
when the field is a VIEW reference, we first check whether the field
is also an outer reference, and mark it appropriately before returning.
The unsignedness of large integer user variables was not being
properly preserved when feeded to prepared statements. This was
happening because the unsigned flags wasn't being updated when
converting the user variable is converted to a parameter.
The solution is to copy the unsigned flag when converting the
user variable to a parameter and take the unsigned flag into
account when converting the integer to a string.
Two disjuncts containing equalities of the form key=const1 and key=const2 can
be merged into one if const1 is equal to const2. To check it the common
collation of the constants were used rather than the collation of the field key.
For example when the default collation of the constants was cases insensitive
while the collation of the field was case sensitive, then two or-ed equality
predicates key='b' and key='B' incorrectly were merged into one f='b'. As a
result ref access was used instead of range access and wrong result sets were
returned in many cases.
Fixed the problem by comparing constant in the or-ed predicate with collation of
the key field.
The name resolution for correlated subqueries and HAVING clauses
failed to distinguish which of two was being performed when there
was a reference to an outer aliased field.
Fixed by adding the condition that HAVING clause name resulotion
is being performed.
w/ Field_date instead of Field_newdate
Field_date was still used in temp table creation.
Fixed by using Field_newdate consistently throughout the server
except when reading tables defined with older MySQL version.
No test suite is possible because both Field_date and Field_newdate
return the same values in all the metadata calls.
There were two problems when inferring the correct field types resulting from
UNION queries.
- If the type is NULL for all corresponding fields in the UNION, the resulting
type would be NULL, while the type is BINARY(0) if there is just a single
SELECT NULL.
- If one SELECT in the UNION uses a subselect, a temporary table is created
to represent the subselect, and the result type defaults to a STRING type,
hiding the fact that the type was unknown(just a NULL value).
Fixed by remembering whenever a field was created from a NULL value and pass
type NULL to the type coercion if that is the case, and creating a string field
as result of UNION only if the type would otherwise be NULL.
Both arguments of the function NAME_CONST must be constant expressions.
This constraint is checked in the Item_name_const::fix_fields method.
Yet if the argument of the function was not a constant expression no
error message was reported. As a result the client hanged waiting for a
response.
Now the function Item_name_const::fix_fields reports an error message
when any of the additional context conditions imposed on the function
NAME_CONST is not satisfied.
Problem: passing a non-constant name to the NAME_CONST function results in a crash.
Fix: check the NAME_CONST name argument; return fake item type if we got
non-constant argument(s).
only on some occasions
Referencing an element from the SELECT list in a WHERE
clause is not permitted. The namespace of the WHERE
clause is the table columns only. This was not enforced
correctly when resolving outer references in sub-queries.
Fixed by not allowing references to aliases in a
sub-query in WHERE.
The columns in HAVING can reference the GROUP BY and
SELECT columns. There can be "table" prefixes when
referencing these columns. And these "table" prefixes
in HAVING use the table alias if available.
This means that table aliases are subject to the same
storage rules as table names and are dependent on
lower_case_table_names in the same way as the table
names are.
Fixed by :
1. Treating table aliases as table names
and make them lowercase when printing out the SQL
statement for view persistence.
2. Using case insensitive comparison for table
aliases when requested by lower_case_table_names
After adding an index the <VARBINARY> IN (SELECT <BINARY> ...)
clause returned a wrong result: the VARBINARY value was illegally padded
with zero bytes to the length of the BINARY column for the index search.
(<VARBINARY>, ...) IN (SELECT <BINARY>, ... ) clauses are affected too.
When doing indexed search the server constructs a key image for
faster comparison to the stored keys. While doing that it must not
perform (and stop if they fail) the additional date checks that can
be turned on by the SQL mode because there already may be values in
the table that don't comply with the error checks.
Fixed by ignoring these SQL mode bits while making the key image.
Since, as of MySQL 5.0.15, CHAR() arguments larger than 255 are converted into multiple result bytes, a single CHAR() argument can now take up to 4 bytes. This patch fixes Item_func_char::fix_length_and_dec() to take this into account.
This patch also fixes a regression introduced by the patch for bug21513. As now we do not always have the 'name' member of Item set for Item_hex_string and Item_bin_string, an own print() method has been added to Item_hex_string so that it could correctly be printed by Item_func::print_args().
Bug#30982 CHAR(..USING..) can return a not-well-formed string
Bug#30986 Character set introducer followed by a HEX string can return bad result
check_well_formed_result moved to Item from Item_str_func
fixed Item_func_char::val_str for proper ucs symbols converting
added check for well formed strings for correct conversion of constants with underscore
charset
We use get_geometry_type() call to decide the exact type
of a geometry field to be created (POINT, POLYGON etc)
Though this function was only implemented for few items.
In the bug's case we need to call this function for the
Item_sum instance, where it was not implemented, what is
the reason of the crash.
Fixed by implementing virtual Item::get_geometry_type(),
so it can be called for any Item.
Declaring an all space column name in the SELECT FROM DUAL or in a view
leads to misleading warning message:
"Leading spaces are removed from name ' '".
The Item::set_name method has been modified to raise warnings like
"Name ' ' has become ''" in case of the truncation of an all
space identifier to an empty string identifier instead of the
"Leading spaces are removed from name ' '" warning message.
