causing update of a different column
For efficiency some storage engines do not read a complete record
for update, but only the columns required for selecting the rows.
When updating a row of a partitioned table, modifying a column
that is part of the partition or subpartition expression, then
the row may need to move from one [sub]partition to another one.
This is done by inserting the new row into the target
[sub]partition and deleting the old row from the originating one.
For the insert we need a complete record.
If an above mentioned engine was used for a partitioned table, we
did not have a complete record in update_row(). The implicitly
executed write_row() got an incomplete record.
This is solved by instructing the engine to read a complete record
if one of the columns of the partition or subpartiton is to be
updated.
No testcase. This can be reproduced with Falcon only. The engines
contained in standard 5.1 do always return complete records on
update.
When a UNION statement forced conversion of an UTF8
charset value to a binary charset value, the byte
length of the result values was truncated to the
CHAR_LENGTH of the original UTF8 value.
spaces.
When the my_strnncollsp_simple function compares two strings and one is a prefix
of another then this function compares characters in the rest of longer key
with the space character to find whether the longer key is greater or less.
But the sort order of the collation isn't used in this comparison. This may
lead to a wrong comparison result, wrongly created index or wrong order of the
result set of a query with the ORDER BY clause.
Now the my_strnncollsp_simple function uses collation sort order to compare
the characters in the rest of longer key with the space character.
query / no aggregate of subquery
The optimizer counts the aggregate functions that
appear as top level expressions (in all_fields) in
the current subquery. Later it makes a list of these
that it uses to actually execute the aggregates in
end_send_group().
That count is used in several places as a flag whether
there are aggregates functions.
While collecting the above info it must not consider
aggregates that are not aggregated in the current
context. It must treat them as normal expressions
instead. Not doing that leads to incorrect data about
the query, e.g. running a query that actually has no
aggregate functions as if it has some (and hence is
expected to return only one row).
Fixed by ignoring the aggregates that are not aggregated
in the current context.
One other smaller omission discovered and fixed in the
process : the place of aggregation was not calculated for
user defined functions. Fixed by calling
Item_sum::init_sum_func_check() and
Item_sum::check_sum_func() as it's done for the rest of
the aggregate functions.
"Federared Transactions Failure"
Bug occurs when the user performs an operation which inserts more than
one row into the federated table and the federated table references a
remote table stored within a transactional storage engine. When the
insert operation for any one row in the statement fails due to
constraint violation, the federated engine is unable to perform
statement rollback and so the remote table contains a partial commit.
The user would expect a statement to perform the same so a statement
rollback is expected.
This bug was fixed by implementing bulk-insert handling into the
federated storage engine. This will relieve the bug for most common
situations by enabling the generation of a multi-row insert into the
remote table and thus permitting the remote table to perform
statement rollback when neccessary.
The multi-row insert is limited to the maximum packet size between
servers and should the size overflow, more than one insert statement
will be sent and this bug will reappear. Multi-row insert is disabled
when an "INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" is being performed.
The bulk-insert handling will offer a significant performance boost
when inserting a large number of small rows.
This patch builds on Bug29019 and Bug25511
"Federated INSERT failures"
Federated does not correctly handle "INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE"
However, implementing such support is not reasonably possible without
increasing complexity of the storage engine: checking that constraints
on remote server match local server and parsing error messages.
This patch causes 'ON DUPLICATE KEY' to fail with ER_DUP_KEY message
if a conflict occurs and not to fail silently.
Sometimes the number of really updated rows (with changed
column values) cannot be determined at the server level
alone (e.g. if the storage engine does not return enough
column values to verify that). So the only dependable way
in such cases is to let the storage engine return that
information if possible.
Fixed the bug at server level by providing a way for the
storage engine to return information about wether it
actually updated the row or the old and the new column
values are the same. It can do that by returning
HA_ERR_RECORD_IS_THE_SAME in ha_update_row().
Note that each storage engine may choose not to try to
return this status code, so this behaviour remains
storage engine specific.
"REPLACE/INSERT IGNORE/UPDATE IGNORE doesn't work"
Federated does not record neccessary HA_EXTRA flags in order to
support REPLACE/INSERT IGNORE/UPDATE IGNORE.
Implement ::extra() to capture flags neccessary for functionality.
New function append_ident() to better escape identifiers consistantly.
Fulltext index may get corrupt by certain gbk characters.
The problem was that when skipping leading non-true-word-characters,
we assumed that these characters are always 1 byte long. This is not
the case with gbk character set, since non-true-word-characters may
be 2 bytes long.
Affects 5.0 only.
Thanks to Martin Friebe for finding and submitting a fix for this bug!
A table with maximum number of key segments and maximum length key name
would have a corrupted .frm file, due to an incorrect calculation of the
complete key length. Now the key length is computed correctly (I hope) :-)
MyISAM would reject a table with the maximum number of keys and the maximum
number of key segments in all keys. It would allow one less than this total
maximum. Now MyISAM accepts a table defined with the maximum. (This is a
very minor issue.)
