The problem was that if after FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK the user
issued DROP/ALTER PROCEDURE/FUNCTION the operation would fail (as
expected), but after UNLOCK TABLE any attempt to execute the same
operation would lead to the error 1305 "PROCEDURE/FUNCTION does not
exist", and an attempt to execute any stored function will also fail.
This happened because under FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK we couldn't open
and lock mysql.proc table for update, and this fact was erroneously
remembered by setting mysql_proc_table_exists to false, so subsequent
statements believed that mysql.proc doesn't exist, and thus that there
are no functions and procedures in the database.
As a solution, we remove mysql_proc_table_exists flag completely. The
reason is that this optimization didn't work most of the time anyway.
Even if open of mysql.proc failed for some reason when we were trying to
call a function or a procedure, we were setting mysql_proc_table_exists
back to true to force table reopen for the sake of producing the same
error message (the open can fail for number of reasons). The solution
could have been to remember the reason why open failed, but that's a lot
of code for optimization of a rare case. Hence we simply remove this
optimization.
The following procedure was not possible if max_sp_recursion_depth is 0
create procedure show_proc() show create procedure show_proc;
Actually there is no recursive call but the limit is checked.
Solved by temporarily increasing the thread's limit just before the fetch from cache
and decreasing after that.
User name (host name) has limit on length. The server code relies on these
limits when storing the names. The problem was that sometimes these limits
were not checked properly, so that could lead to buffer overflow.
The fix is to check length of user/host name in parser and if string is too
long, throw an error.
create function func() returns char(10) binary ...
is no more possible. This will be reenabled when
bug 2676 "DECLARE can't have COLLATE clause in stored procedure"
is fixed.
Fix after 2nd review
The following procedure was not possible if max_sp_recursion_depth is 0
create procedure show_proc() show create procedure show_proc;
Actually there is no recursive call but the limit is checked.
Solved by temporarily increasing the thread's limit just before the fetch from cache
and decreasing after that.
Before this fix,
- a runtime error in a statement in a stored procedure with no error handlers
was properly detected (as expected)
- a runtime error in a statement with an error handler inherited from a non
local runtime context (i.e., proc a with a handler, calling proc b) was
properly detected (as expected)
- a runtime error in a statement with a *local* error handler was executed
as follows :
a) the statement would succeed, regardless of the error condition, (bug)
b) the error handler would be called (as expected).
The root cause is that functions like my_messqge_sql would "forget" to set
the thread flag thd->net.report_error to 1, because of the check involving
sp_rcontext::found_handler_here().
Failure to set this flag would cause, later in the call stack,
in Item_func::fix_fields() at line 190, the code to return FALSE and consider
that executing the statement was successful.
With this fix :
- error handling code, that was duplicated in different places in the code,
is now implemented in sp_rcontext::handle_error(),
- handle_error() correctly sets thd->net.report_error when a handler is
present, regardless of the handler location (local, or in the call stack).
A test case, bug8153_subselect, has been written to demonstrate the change
of behavior before and after the fix.
Another test case, bug8153_function_a, as also been writen.
This test has the same behavior before and after the fix.
This test has been written to demonstrate that the previous expected
result of procedure bug18787, was incorrect, since select no_such_function()
should fail and therefore not produce a result.
The incorrect result for bug18787 has the same root cause as Bug#8153,
and the expected result has been adjusted.
Fix for BUG#16676: Database CHARSET not used for stored procedures
The problem in BUG#16211 is that CHARSET-clause of the return type for
stored functions is just ignored.
The problem in BUG#16676 is that if character set is not explicitly
specified for sp-variable, the server character set is used instead
of the database one.
The fix has two parts:
- always store CHARSET-clause of the return type along with the
type definition in mysql.proc.returns column. "Always" means that
CHARSET-clause is appended even if it has not been explicitly
specified in CREATE FUNCTION statement (this affects BUG#16211 only).
Storing CHARSET-clause if it is not specified is essential to avoid
changing character set if the database character set is altered in
the future.
NOTE: this change is not backward compatible with the previous releases.
- use database default character set if CHARSET-clause is not explicitly
specified (this affects both BUG#16211 and BUG#16676).
NOTE: this also breaks backward compatibility.
When there is no index defined filesort is used to sort the result of a
query. If there is a function in the select list and the result set should be
ordered by it's value then this function will be evaluated twice. First time to
get the value of the sort key and second time to send its value to a user.
This happens because filesort when sorts a table remembers only values of its
fields but not values of functions.
All functions are affected. But taking into account that SP and UDF functions
can be both expensive and non-deterministic a temporary table should be used
to store their results and then sort it to avoid twice SP evaluation and to
get a correct result.
If an expression referenced in an ORDER clause contains a SP or UDF
function, force the use of a temporary table.
A new Item_processor function called func_type_checker_processor is added
to check whether the expression contains a function of a particular type.
"real" table fails in JOINs".
This is a regression caused by the fix for Bug 18444.
This fix removed the assignment of empty_c_string to table->db performed
in add_table_to_list, as neither me nor anyone else knew what it was
there for. Now we know it and it's covered with tests: the only case
when a table database name can be empty is when the table is a derived
table. The fix puts the assignment back but makes it a bit more explicit.
Additionally, finally drop sp.result.orig which was checked in by mistake.
and Stored Procedure
The essence of the bug was that for every re-execution of stored
routine or prepared statement new items for character set conversions
were created, thus increasing the number of items and the time of their
processing, and creating memory leak.
No test case is provided since current test suite can't cover such type
of bugs.
DESCRIBE returned the type BIGINT for a column of a view if the column
was specified by an expression over values of the type INT.
E.g. for the view defined as follows:
CREATE VIEW v1 SELECT COALESCE(f1,f2) FROM t1
DESCRIBE returned type BIGINT for the only column of the view if f1,f2 are
columns of the INT type.
At the same time DESCRIBE returned type INT for the only column of the table
defined by the statement:
CREATE TABLE t2 SELECT COALESCE(f1,f2) FROM t1.
This inconsistency was removed by the patch.
Now the code chooses between INT/BIGINT depending on the
precision of the aggregated column type.
Thus both DESCRIBE commands above returns type INT for v1 and t2.

Bug#17199 "Problem when view calls function from another database."
Bug#18444 "Fully qualified stored function names don't work correctly in
SELECT statements"
Documentation note: this patch introduces a change in behaviour of prepared
statements.
This patch adds a few new invariants with regard to how THD::db should
be used. These invariants should be preserved in future:
- one should never refer to THD::db by pointer and always make a deep copy
(strmake, strdup)
- one should never compare two databases by pointer, but use strncmp or
my_strncasecmp
- TABLE_LIST object table->db should be always initialized in the parser or
by creator of the object.
For prepared statements it means that if the current database is changed
after a statement is prepared, the database that was current at prepare
remains active. This also means that you can not prepare a statement that
implicitly refers to the current database if the latter is not set.
This is not documented, and therefore needs documentation. This is NOT a
change in behavior for almost all SQL statements except:
- ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME t2
- OPTIMIZE TABLE t1
- ANALYZE TABLE t1
- TRUNCATE TABLE t1 --
until this patch t1 or t2 could be evaluated at the first execution of
prepared statement.
CURRENT_DATABASE() still works OK and is evaluated at every execution
of prepared statement.
Note, that in stored routines this is not an issue as the default
database is the database of the stored procedure and "use" statement
is prohibited in stored routines.
This patch makes obsolete the use of check_db_used (it was never used in the
old code too) and all other places that check for table->db and assign it
from THD::db if it's NULL, except the parser.
How this patch was created: THD::{db,db_length} were replaced with a
LEX_STRING, THD::db. All the places that refer to THD::{db,db_length} were
manually checked and:
- if the place uses thd->db by pointer, it was fixed to make a deep copy
- if a place compared two db pointers, it was fixed to compare them by value
(via strcmp/my_strcasecmp, whatever was approproate)
Then this intermediate patch was used to write a smaller patch that does the
same thing but without a rename.
TODO in 5.1:
- remove check_db_used
- deploy THD::set_db in mysql_change_db

with PREPARE fails with weird error".
More generally, re-executing a stored procedure with a complex SP cursor query
could lead to a crash.
The cause of the problem was that SP cursor queries were not optimized
properly at first execution: their parse tree belongs to sp_instr_cpush,
not sp_instr_copen, and thus the tree was tagged "EXECUTED" when the
cursor was declared, not when it was opened. This led to loss of optimization
transformations performed at first execution, as sp_instr_copen saw that the
query is already "EXECUTED" and therefore either not ran first-execution
related blocks or wrongly rolled back the transformations caused by
first-execution code.
The fix is to update the state of the parsed tree only when the tree is
executed, as opposed to when the instruction containing the tree is executed.
Assignment if i->state is moved to reset_lex_and_exec_core.
Under row-based replication, DELETE FROM will now always be
replicated as individual row deletions, while TRUNCATE TABLE will
always be replicated as a statement.
garbles data if longer than 766 chars.
The problem is that a stored routine returns BLOBs to the previous
caller, BLOBs are shallow-copied (i.e. only pointers to the data are
copied). The fix is to also copy data of BLOBs.
or implicitly uses stored function gives "Table not locked" error'
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ... statement which was explicitly or implicitly
(through view) using stored function gave "Table not locked" error.
The actual bug resides in the current locking scheme of CREATE TABLE SELECT
code, which first opens and locks tables of the SELECT statement itself,
and then, having SELECT tables locked, creates the .FRM, opens the .FRM and
acquires lock on it. This scheme opens a possibility for a deadlock, which
was present and ignored since version 3.23 or earlier. This scheme also
conflicts with the invariant of the prelocking algorithm -- no table can
be open and locked while there are tables locked in prelocked mode.
The patch makes an exception for this invariant when doing CREATE TABLE ...
SELECT, thus extending the possibility of a deadlock to the prelocked mode.
We can't supply a better fix in 5.0.
