Bug#27525 table not found when using multi-table-deletes with aliases over several databas
Bug#30234 Unexpected behavior using DELETE with AS and USING
The multi-delete statement has a documented limitation that
cross-database multiple-table deletes using aliases are not
supported because it fails to find the tables by alias if it
belongs to a different database. The problem is that when
building the list of tables to delete from, if a database
name is not specified (maybe an alias) it defaults to the
name of the current selected database, making impossible to
to properly resolve tables by alias later. Another problem
is a inconsistency of the multiple table delete syntax that
permits ambiguities in a delete statement (aliases that refer
to multiple different tables or vice-versa).
The first step for a solution and proper implementation of
the cross-databse multiple table delete is to get rid of any
ambiguities in a multiple table statement. Currently, the parser
is accepting multiple table delete statements that have no obvious
meaning, such as:
DELETE a1 FROM db1.t1 AS a1, db2.t2 AS a1;
DELETE a1 AS a1 FROM db1.t1 AS a1, db2.t2 AS a1;
The solution is to resolve the left part of a delete statement
using the right part, if the a table on right has an alias,
it must be referenced in the left using the given alias. Also,
each table on the left side must match unambiguously only one
table in the right side.
mutually-nested subqueries
Queries of the form
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1) AS t1,
(SELECT 2) AS t2,...
(SELECT 32) AS t32
caused the "Too high level of nesting for select" error
as if the query has a form
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT 2 FROM (SELECT 3 FROM...
The table_factor parser rule has been modified to adjust
the LEX::nest_level variable value after every derived table.
No warning was generated when a TIMESTAMP with a non-zero time part
was converted to a DATE value. This caused index lookup to assume
that this is a valid conversion and was returning rows that match
a comparison between a TIMESTAMP value and a DATE keypart.
Fixed by generating a warning on such a truncation.
- added join cache indication in EXPLAIN (Extra column).
- prefer filesort over full scan over
index for ORDER BY (because it's faster).
- when switching from REF to RANGE because
RANGE uses longer key turn off sort on
the head table only as the resulting
RANGE access is a candidate for join cache
and we don't want to disable it by sorting
on the first table only.
- Use mysql_system_tables.sql to create MySQL system tables in
all places where we create them(mysql_install_db, mysql-test-run-pl
and mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql)
"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.
"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
- in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
- natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
for any number/nesting of the joins.
- column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
name resolution contexts used at parse time.
NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
- there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
- it does not include a new test specific for the task
Column names weren't checked for uniqueness for subqueries.
Code for names uniqueness checking used for view creation moved into
separate function named check_duplicate_names(). It's called on
preparation of subqueries to check uniqueness of names. If duplicate names
are found then error is raised.
If cost(full_scan_on_shortest_covering_index) < cost(best_range_scan) < cost(full_table_scan)
use full_scan_on_shortest_covering_index
(before this fix best_range_scan was used)
Fixed output from mysqlbinlog when using --skip-comments
Fixed warnings from valgrind
Fixed ref_length when used with HEAP tables
More efficent need_conversion()
Fixed error handling in UPDATE with not updateable tables
Fixed bug in null handling in CAST to signed/unsigned
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
- correct table name shown in EXPLAIN Iindex reference)
- pointer on freed memmory (reallocation of table name in reusing table entry) can't be used in EXPLAIN
(BUG#1584)
