The LEAST/GREATEST functions compared DATE/DATETIME values as
strings which in some cases could lead to a wrong result.
A new member function called cmp_datetimes() is added to the
Item_func_min_max class. It compares arguments in DATETIME context
and returns index of the least/greatest argument.
The Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() function now detects when
arguments should be compared in DATETIME context and sets the newly
added flag compare_as_dates. It indicates that the cmp_datetimes() function
should be called to get a correct result.
Item_func_min_max::val_xxx() methods are corrected to call the
cmp_datetimes() function when needed.
Objects of the Item_splocal class now stores and reports correct original
field type.
some rollup rows (rows with NULLs for grouping attributes) if GROUP BY
list contained constant expressions.
This happened because the results of constant expressions were not put
in the temporary table used for duplicate elimination. In fact a constant
item from the GROUP BY list of a ROLLUP query can be replaced for an
Item_null_result object when a rollup row is produced .
Now the JOIN::rollup_init function wraps any constant item referenced in
the GROYP BY list of a ROLLUP query into an Item_func object of a special
class that is never detected as constant item. This ensures creation of
fields for such constant items in temporary tables and guarantees right
results when the result of the rollup operation first has to be written
into a temporary table, e.g. in the cases when duplicate elimination is
required.
- unsigned flag was not handled correctly for a number of mathematical funcions, which led to incorrect results
- passing large values as the number of decimals to ROUND() resulted in incorrect results and even server crashes in some cases
- reverted the fix and the testcase for bug #10083 as it violates the manual
- fixed some testcases which relied on broken ROUND() behavior
LEFT JOIN
Fixed that in certain situations MATCH ... AGAINST returns false hits
for NULLs produced by LEFT JOIN when there is no fulltext index
available.
Made year 2000 handling more uniform
Removed year 2000 handling out from calc_days()
The above removes some bugs in date/datetimes with year between 0 and 200
Now we get a note when we insert a datetime value into a date column
For default values to CREATE, don't give errors for warning level NOTE
Fixed some compiler failures
Added library ws2_32 for windows compilation (needed if we want to compile with IOCP support)
Removed duplicate typedef TIME and replaced it with MYSQL_TIME
Better (more complete) fix for: Bug#21103 "DATE column not compared as DATE"
Fixed properly Bug#18997 "DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB perform year2K autoconversion magic on 4-digit year value"
Fixed Bug#23093 "Implicit conversion of 9912101 to date does not match cast(9912101 as date)"
Possible problems: function call could be eliminated from where class and only
be evaluated once; function can be evaluated during table and item setup phase which could
cause side effects not to be registered in binlog.
Fixed with introducing func_item_sp::used_tables() returning the correct table_map constant.
- Stored procedures returning unsinged values returns signed values if
text protocol is used. The reason is that the stored proceedure item
Item_func_sp wasn't initializing the member variables properly based
on the information contained in the associated result field.
- The patch is to upon field-item association, ::fix_fields, initialize
the member variables in appropriate order.
- Field type of an Item_func_sp was hard coded to MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR.
This is changed to return the type of the actual result field.
- Member function name sp_result_field was refactored to the more
appropriate init_result_field.
- Member function name find_and_check_access was refactored to
sp_check_access.
RAND() must accept scalar expressions regardless of their kind.
That includes both constant expressions and expressions that
depend on column values.
When the expression is constant the random seed can be initialized
at compile time.
However when the expression is not constant the random seed must be
initialized at each invocation (while it still can be allocated at
compile time).
Implemented the above rules by extending Item_func_rand::val_real()
to initialize the random seed at the correct place.
used.
The Item::save_in_field() function is called from fill_record() to fill the
new row with data while execution of the CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement.
Item::save_in_field() calls val_xxx() methods in order to get values.
val_xxx() methods do not take into account the result field. Due to this
Item_func_set_user_var::val_xxx() methods returns values from the original
table, not from the temporary one.
The save_in_field() member function is added to the Item_func_set_user_var
class. It detects whether the result field should be used and properly updates
the value of the user variable.

When implicitly converting string fields to numbers the
string-to-number conversion error was not sent to the client.
Added code to send the conversion error as warning.
We also need to prevent generation of warnings from the places
where val_xxx() methods are called for the sole purpose of updating
the Item::null_value flag.
To achieve that a special function is added (and called) :
update_null_value(). This function will set the no_errors flag and
will call val_xxx(). The warning generation in Field_string::val_xxx()
will use the flag when generating the conversion warnings.
Before this change, the functions BENCHMARK, ENCODE, DECODE and FORMAT could
only accept a constant for some parameters.
After this change, this restriction has been removed. An implication is that
these functions can also be used in prepared statements.
The change consist of changing the following classes:
- Item_func_benchmark
- Item_func_encode
- Item_func_decode
- Item_func_format
to:
- only accept Item* in the constructor,
- and evaluate arguments during calls to val_xxx()
which fits the general design of all the other functions.
The 'TODO' items identified in item_create.cc during the work done for
Bug 21114 are addressed by this fix, as a natural consequence of aligning
the design.
In the 'func_str' test, a single very long test line involving an explain
extended select with many functions has been rewritten into multiple
separate tests, to improve maintainability.
The result of explain extended select decode(encode(...)) has changed,
since the encode and decode functions now print all their parameters.
