When only one row was present, the subtraction of nearly the same number
resulted in catastropic cancellation, introducing an error in the
VARIANCE calculation near 1e-15. That was sqrt()ed to get STDDEV, the
error was escallated to near 1e-8.
The simple fix of testing for a row count of 1 and forcing that to yield
0.0 is insufficient, as two rows of the same value should also have a
variance of 0.0, yet the error would be about the same.
So, this patch changes the formula that computes the VARIANCE to be one
that is not subject to catastrophic cancellation.
In addition, it now uses only (faster-than-decimal) floating point numbers
to calculate, and renders that to other types on demand.
from log):
When row-based logging is used, the CREATE-SELECT is written as two
parts: as a CREATE TABLE statement and as the rows for the table. For
both transactional and non-transactional tables, the CREATE TABLE
statement was written to the transaction cache, as were the rows, and
on statement end, the entire transaction cache was written to the binary
log if the table was non-transactional. For transactional tables, the
events were kept in the transaction cache until end of transaction (or
statement that were not part of a transaction).
For the case when AUTOCOMMIT=0 and we are creating a transactional table
using a create select, we would then keep the CREATE TABLE statement and
the rows for the CREATE-SELECT, while executing the following statements.
On a rollback, the transaction cache would then be cleared, which would
also remove the CREATE TABLE statement. Hence no table would be created
on the slave, while there is an empty table on the master.
This relates to BUG#22865 where the table being created exists on the
master, but not on the slave during insertion of rows into the newly
created table. This occurs since the CREATE TABLE statement were still
in the transaction cache until the statement finished executing, and
possibly longer if the table was transactional.
This patch changes the behaviour of the CREATE-SELECT statement by
adding an implicit commit at the end of the statement when creating
non-temporary tables. Hence, non-temporary tables will be written to the
binary log on completion, and in the even of AUTOCOMMIT=0, a new
transaction will be started. Temporary tables do not commit an ongoing
transaction: neither as a pre- not a post-commit.
The events for both transactional and non-transactional tables are
saved in the transaction cache, and written to the binary log at end
of the statement.
An update that used a join of a table to itself and modified the
table on one side of the join reported the table as crashed or
updated wrong rows.
Fixed by creating temporary table for self-joined multi update statement.
Handling of large signed/unsigned values was not consistent, so some string functions could return bogus results.
The current fix is to simply patch up the val_str() methods for those string items.
It would be good clean this code up in general, to make similar problems much harder to make. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
spatial index
While executing OPTIMIZE TABLE on MyISAM tables the server re-creates the
index file(s) in order to sort them physically by the key. This cannot be
done for R-tree indexes as it makes no sense.
The server was not checking the type of the index and was accessing an
R-tree index as if it was a B-tree.
Fixed by preventing sorting the index file if it contains an R-tree index.
As presently PARTITIONS + FEDERATED just doesn't work i added error message
to inform user about that.
Should be enabled again after releted WL's completion.
If SELECT-part of CREATE VIEW statement contains '\Z',
it is not handled correctly.
The problem was in String::print().
Symbol with code 032 (26) is replaced with '\z',
which is not supported by the lexer.
The fix is to replace the symbol with '\Z'.
when REORGANIZE creates new partition, no_subparts for that partition
isn't set right (call handler::set_partitions_defaults always returns 1)
Normally the number of subpartitions should be inherited from the
table.
