between 5.0 and 5.1.
The problem was that in the patch for Bug#11986 it was decided
to store original query in UTF8 encoding for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
This approach however turned out to be quite difficult to implement
properly. The main problem is to preserve the same IS-output after
dump/restore.
So, the fix is to rollback to the previous functionality, but also
to fix it to support multi-character-set-queries properly. The idea
is to generate INFORMATION_SCHEMA-query from the item-tree after
parsing view declaration. The IS-query should:
- be completely in UTF8;
- not contain character set introducers.
For more information, see WL4052.
The problem is that one can not create a stored routine if sql_mode
contains NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION or PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. Also when
a event is created, the mode is silently lost if sql_mode contains one
of the aforementioned. This was happening because the table definitions
which stored sql_mode values weren't being updated to accept new values
of sql_mode.
The solution is to update, in a backwards compatible manner, the various
table definitions (columns) that store the sql_mode value to take into
account the new possible values. One incompatible change is that if a event
that is being created can't be stored to the mysql.event table, an error
will be raised.
The tests case also ensure that new SQL modes will be added to the mysql.proc
and mysql.event tables, otherwise the tests will fail.
pre-locking.
The crash was caused by an implicit assumption in check_table_access() that
table_list parameter is always a part of lex->query_tables.
When iterating over the passed list of tables, check_table_access() used
to stop only when lex->query_tables_last_not_own was reached.
In case of pre-locking, lex->query_tables_last_own is not NULL and points
to some element of lex->query_tables. When the parameter
of check_table_access() was not part of lex->query_tables, loop invariant
could never be violated and a crash would happen when the current table
pointer would point beyond the end of the provided list.
The fix is to change the signature of check_table_access() to also accept
a numeric limit of loop iterations, similarly to check_grant(), and
supply this limit in all places when we want to check access of tables
that are outside lex->query_tables, or just want to check access to one table.
command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.
added get_field_default_value() function which obtains default value from the field
(used in store_create_info() & get_schema_column_record() functions)
1. added check to fill_schema_schemata() func.
if we have db lookup value we should check that db exists
2. added check to get_all_tables() func
if we have lookup db name or tables name values we shoud check that
these values are not empty strings
3. fixed typo
- BUG#11986: Stored routines and triggers can fail if the code
has a non-ascii symbol
- BUG#16291: mysqldump corrupts string-constants with non-ascii-chars
- BUG#19443: INFORMATION_SCHEMA does not support charsets properly
- BUG#21249: Character set of SP-var can be ignored
- BUG#25212: Character set of string constant is ignored (stored routines)
- BUG#25221: Character set of string constant is ignored (triggers)
There were a few general problems that caused these bugs:
1. Character set information of the original (definition) query for views,
triggers, stored routines and events was lost.
2. mysqldump output query in client character set, which can be
inappropriate to encode definition-query.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA used strings with mixed encodings to display object
definition;
1. No query-definition-character set.
In order to compile query into execution code, some extra data (such as
environment variables or the database character set) is used. The problem
here was that this context was not preserved. So, on the next load it can
differ from the original one, thus the result will be different.
The context contains the following data:
- client character set;
- connection collation (character set and collation);
- collation of the owner database;
The fix is to store this context and use it each time we parse (compile)
and execute the object (stored routine, trigger, ...).
2. Wrong mysqldump-output.
The original query can contain several encodings (by means of character set
introducers). The problem here was that we tried to convert original query
to the mysqldump-client character set.
Moreover, we stored queries in different character sets for different
objects (views, for one, used UTF8, triggers used original character set).
The solution is
- to store definition queries in the original character set;
- to change SHOW CREATE statement to output definition query in the
binary character set (i.e. without any conversion);
- introduce SHOW CREATE TRIGGER statement;
- to dump special statements to switch the context to the original one
before dumping and restore it afterwards.
Note, in order to preserve the database collation at the creation time,
additional ALTER DATABASE might be used (to temporary switch the database
collation back to the original value). In this case, ALTER DATABASE
privilege will be required. This is a backward-incompatible change.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA showed non-UTF8 strings
The fix is to generate UTF8-query during the parsing, store it in the object
and show it in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
Basically, the idea is to create a copy of the original query convert it to
UTF8. Character set introducers are removed and all text literals are
converted to UTF8.
This UTF8 query is intended to provide user-readable output. It must not be
used to recreate the object. Specialized SHOW CREATE statements should be
used for this.
The reason for this limitation is the following: the original query can
contain symbols from several character sets (by means of character set
introducers).
Example:
- original query:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT _cp1251 'Hello' AS c1;
- UTF8 query (for INFORMATION_SCHEMA):
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT 'Hello' AS c1;
