The out of memory error was thrown when the sort buffer size were too small.
This led to a user confusion.
Now filesort throws the error message about sort buffer being too small.
and my_innodb_commit_concurrency global variables.
Type of the my_innodb_autoextend_increment and the
my_innodb_commit_concurrency variables has been changed to
GET_ULONG.
Server handles truncation for assignment of too-long values
into CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns in a different ways when the
truncated characters are spaces:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore end-space truncation;
2. TEXT columns post a truncation warning/error in the
non-strict/strict mode.
3. VARCHAR columns always post a truncation note in
any mode.
Space truncation processing has been synchronised over
CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns: current behavior of VARCHAR
columns has been propagated as standard.
Binary-encoded string/BLOB columns are not affected.
on table creates
The problem was in incompatible syntax for key definition in CREATE
TABLE.
5.0 supports only the following syntax for key definition (see "CREATE
TABLE syntax" in the manual):
{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...)
While 5.1 parser supports the above syntax, the "preferred" syntax was
changed to:
{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] (index_col_name,...) [index_type]
The above syntax is used in 5.1 for the SHOW CREATE TABLE output, which
led to dumps generated by 5.1 being incompatible with 5.0.
Fixed by changing the parser in 5.0 to support both 5.0 and 5.1 syntax
for key definition.
Simple subselects are pulled into upper selects. This operation substitutes the
pulled subselect for the first item from the select list of the subselect.
If an alias is defined for a subselect it is inherited by the replacement item.
As this is done after fix_fields phase this alias isn't showed if the
replacement item is a stored function. This happens because the Item_func_sp::make_field
function makes send field from its result_field and ignores the defined alias.
Now when an alias is defined the Item_func_sp::make_field function sets it for
the returned field.
Two disjuncts containing equalities of the form key=const1 and key=const2 can
be merged into one if const1 is equal to const2. To check it the common
collation of the constants were used rather than the collation of the field key.
For example when the default collation of the constants was cases insensitive
while the collation of the field was case sensitive, then two or-ed equality
predicates key='b' and key='B' incorrectly were merged into one f='b'. As a
result ref access was used instead of range access and wrong result sets were
returned in many cases.
Fixed the problem by comparing constant in the or-ed predicate with collation of
the key field.
The problem occurred when one had a subquery that had an equality X=Y where
Y referred to a named select list expression from the parent select. MySQL
crashed when trying to use the X=Y equality for ref-based access.
Fixed by allowing non-Item_field items in the described case.
The ROUND(X, D) function would change the Item::decimals field during
execution to achieve the effect of a dynamic number of decimal digits.
This caused a series of bugs:
Bug #30617:Round() function not working under some circumstances in InnoDB
Bug #33402:ROUND with decimal and non-constant cannot round to 0 decimal places
Bug #30889:filesort and order by with float/numeric crashes server
Fixed by never changing the number of shown digits for DECIMAL when
used with a nonconstant number of decimal digits.
The name resolution for correlated subqueries and HAVING clauses
failed to distinguish which of two was being performed when there
was a reference to an outer aliased field.
Fixed by adding the condition that HAVING clause name resulotion
is being performed.
value when inserting into a view.
The mysql_prepare_insert function checks all fields of the target table that
directly or indirectly (through a view) are specified in the INSERT
statement to have a default value. This check can be skipped if the INSERT
statement doesn't mention any insert fields. In case of a view this allows
fields that aren't mentioned in the view to bypass the check.
Now fields of the target table are always checked to have a default value
when insert goes into a view.
When resolving references we need to take into consideration
the view "fields" and allow qualified access to them.
Fixed by extending the reference resolution to process view
fields correctly.
server crash.
The filesort implementation has an optimization for subquery execution which
consists of reusing previously allocated buffers. In particular the call to
the read_buffpek_from_file function might be skipped when a big enough buffer
for buffer descriptors (buffpeks) is already allocated. Beside allocating
memory for buffpeks this function fills allocated buffer with data read from
disk. Skipping it might led to using an arbitrary memory as fields' data and
finally to a crash.
Now the read_buffpek_from_file function is always called. It allocates
new buffer only when necessary, but always fill it with correct data.
to be compiled in
The problem was that on a statically built server an attempt to create
a UDF resulted in a different, but reasonable error ("Can't open shared
library" instead of "UDFs are unavailable with the --skip-grant-tables
option"), which caused a failure for the test case for bug #32020.
Fixed by moving the test case for bug #32020 from skip_grants.test to a
separate test to ensure that it is only run when the server is built
with support for dynamically loaded libraries.
w/ Field_date instead of Field_newdate
Field_date was still used in temp table creation.
Fixed by using Field_newdate consistently throughout the server
except when reading tables defined with older MySQL version.
No test suite is possible because both Field_date and Field_newdate
return the same values in all the metadata calls.
The checks in the test for bug #12480 were too wide and
made the test to depend on the procedures and triggers
present in the server.
Corrected the test to check only for the procedure and
trigger it creates.
In a union without braces, the order by at the end is applied to the
overall union. It therefore should not interfere with the individual
select parts of the union.
Fixed by changing our parser rules appropriately.
with null values
For queries containing GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT fields ORDER BY fields), there
was a limitation that the DISTINCT fields had to be the same as ORDER BY
fields, owing to the fact that one single sorted tree was used for keeping
track of tuples, ordering and uniqueness. Fixed by introducing a second
structure to handle uniqueness so that the original structure has only to
order the result.
