Inconsistent behavior of session variable max_allowed_packet
(and net_buffer_length); only assignment to the global variable
has any effect, without this being obvious to the user.
The patch for Bug#22891 is backported to 5.0, making the two
session variables read-only. As this is a backport to GA
software, the error used when trying to assign to the read-
only variable is ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR. The error message is the
same as in 5.1+.
Started fix in 5.0 as the same issue is here.
Revising queries used given what appears to be the scope of this test to only select the manipulated variables.
Added tests for values that are / are not multiples of 1024 to test rounding / constraints.
This behavior is not currently documented (docs bug has been opened)
The original symptoms of this bug have been fixed as a consequence of other bug fixes.
Taking this time to correct some formatting, such as replacing error numbers with names.
Beginning this with 5.0
Default values of variables were not subject to upper/lower bounds
and step, while setting variables was. Bounds and step are also
applied to defaults now; defaults are corrected quietly, values
given by the user are corrected, and a correction-warning is thrown
as needed. Lastly, very large values could wrap around, starting
from 0 again. They are bounded at the maximum value for the
respective data-type now if no lower maximum is specified in the
variable's definition.
doesn't recognize it
This is a 5.0 version of the patch, it will be null-merged to 5.1
Problem:
'log' and 'log_slow_queries' were "fixed" variables, i.e. they showed up
in SHOW VARIABLES, but could not be used in expressions like
"select @@log". Also, using them in the SET statement produced an
incorrect "unknown system variable" error.
Solution:
Make 'log' and 'log_slow_queries' read-only dynamic variables to make
them available for use in expressions, and produce a correct error
about the variable being read-only when used in the SET statement.
Buffer used when setting variables was not dimensioned to accomodate
trailing '\0'. An overflow by one character was therefore possible.
CS corrects limits to prevent such overflows.
This is for bug #29446 "Specifying a myisam_sort_buffer > 4GB on 64 bit machines not possible". Support for myisam_sort_buffer_size > 4 GB on 64-bit Windows will be looked at later in 5.2.
Problem: setting/displaying @@LC_TIME_NAMES didn't distinguish between
GLOBAL and SESSION variable types - always SESSION variable
was set/shonw.
Fix: set either global or session value.
Also, "mysqld --lc-time-names" was added to set "global default" value.
Problem: replication of LC_TIME_NAMES didn't work.
Thus, INSERTS or UPDATES using date_format() always
worked with en_US on the slave side.
Fix: adding ONE_SHOT implementation for LC_TIME_NAMES.
Zero-length variables caused failures when using the length to look
up the name in a hash. Instead, signal that no zero-length name can
ever be found and that to encounter one is a syntax error.
Bug #19606: ssl variables are not displayed in show variables
Bug #19616: log_queries_not_using_indexes is not listed in show variables
Make basedir, datadir, tmpdir, log_queries_not_using_indexes, ssl_ca,
ssl_capath, ssl_cert, ssl_cipher, and ssl_key all available both from
SHOW VARIABLES and as @@variables.
As a side-effect of this change, log_queries_not_using_indexes can
be changed at runtime (but only globally, not per-connection).
Bug #15684: @@version_* are not all SELECTable
Added the appropriate information as read-only system variables, and
also removed some special-case handling of @@version along the way.
@@version_bdb was added, but isn't included in the test because it
depends on the presence of BDB.
Variable character_set_system is selectable now
More accurate error message results during
update of character_set_system and some other read only variables
character_set_results is nullable, but value_ptr returns string "NULL"
set_var.cc:
Create Item_null instead of Item_string for NULL values
variables.result, variables.test:
adding test case
Change bool in C code to my_bool
Added to mysqltest --enable_parsning and --disable_parsing to avoid to have to comment parts of tests
Added comparison of LEX_STRING's and use this to compare file types for view and trigger files.
