Ignoring error codes from type conversion allows default (wrong) values to
go unnoticed in the formation of index search conditions.
Fixed by correctly checking for conversion errors.
Depending on the queries we use different data processing methods
and can lose some data in case of double (and decimal in 4.1) fields.
The fix consists of two parts:
1. double comparison changed, now double a is equal to double b
if (a-b) is less than 5*0.1^(1 + max(a->decimals, b->decimals)).
For example, if a->decimals==1, b->decimals==2, a==b if (a-b)<0.005
2. if we use a temporary table, store double values there as is
to avoid any data conversion (rounding).
A BINARY field is represented by the Field_string class. The space character
is used as the filler for unused characters in such a field. But a BINARY field
should use \x00 instead.
Field_string:reset() now detects whether the current field is a BINARY one
and if so uses the \x00 character as a default value filler.

- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
Problem:
When creating a temporary field for a temporary table in create_tmp_field_from_field(), a resulting field is created as an exact copy of an original one (in Field::new_field()). However, Field_enum and Field_set contain a pointer (typelib) to memory allocated in the parent table's MEM_ROOT, which under some circumstances may be deallocated later by the time a temporary table is used.
Solution:
Override the new_field() method for Field_enum and Field_set and create a separate copy of the typelib structure in there.
The problem is that the GEOMETRY NOT NULL can't automatically set
any value as a default one. We always tried to complete LOAD DATA
command even if there's not enough data in file. That doesn't work
for GEOMETRY NOT NULL. Now Field_*::reset() returns an error sign
and it's checked in mysql_load()
The problem was that any VIEW columns had always implicit derivation.
Fix: derivation is now copied from the original expression
given in VIEW definition.
For example:
- a VIEW column which comes from a string constant
in CREATE VIEW definition have now coercible derivation.
- a VIEW column having COLLATE clause
in CREATE VIEW definition have now explicit derivation.
Any default value for a enum fields over UCS2 charsets was corrupted
when we put it into the frm file, as it had been overwritten by its
HEX representation.
To fix it now we save a copy of structure that represents the enum
type and when putting the default values we use this copy.
The Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function creates Field_datetime
object instead of Field_timestamp object for timestamp field thus always
changing data type is a tmp table is used.
The Field_blob object constructor which is used in the
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() is always setting packlength field of
newly created blob to 4. This leads to changing fields data type for example
from the blob to the longblob if a temporary table is used.
The Item::make_string_field() function always converts Field_string objects
to Field_varstring objects. This leads to changing data type from the
char/binary to varchar/varbinary.
Added appropriate Field_timestamp object constructor for using in the
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function.
Added Field_blob object constructor which sets pack length according to
max_length argument.
The Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function now creates
Field_timestamp object for a timestamp field.
The Item_type_holder::display_length() now returns correct NULL length NULL
length.
The Item::make_string_field() function now doesn't change Field_string to
Field_varstring in the case of Item_type_holder.
The Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function now uses the Field_blob
constructor which sets packlength according to max_length.
The Federated storage engine used Field methods that had arbitrary limits on
the amount of data they could process, which caused problems with data
over that limit (4K). By removing those Field methods and just using
features of the String class, we can avoid this problem.
Bug#17294 - INSERT DELAYED puting an \n before data
Bug#16611 - INSERT DELAYED corrupts data
Bug#13707 - Server crash with INSERT DELAYED on MyISAM table
Combined as Bug#16218.
INSERT DELAYED crashed in 5.0 on a table with a varchar that
could be NULL and was created pre-5.0 (Bugs 16218 and 13707).
INSERT DELAYED corrupted data in 5.0 on a table with varchar
fields that was created pre-5.0 (Bugs 17294 and 16611).
In case of INSERT DELAYED the open table is copied from the
delayed insert thread to be able to create a record for the
queue. When copying the fields, a method was used that did
convert old varchar to new varchar fields and did not set up
some pointers into the record buffer of the table.
The field conversion was guilty for the misinterpretation of
the record contents by the delayed insert thread. The wrong
pointer setup was guilty for the crashes.
For Bug 13707 (Server crash with INSERT DELAYED on MyISAM table)
I fixed the above mentioned method to set up one of the pointers.
For Bug 16218 I set up the other pointers too.
But when looking at the corruptions I got aware that converting
the field type was totally wrong for INSERT DELAYED. The copied
table is used to create a record that is to be sent to the
delayed insert thread. Of course it can interpret the record
correctly only if all field types are the same in both table
objects.
So I revoked the fix for Bug 13707 and changed the new_field()
method so that it can suppress conversions.
No test case as this is a migration problem. One needs to
create a table with 4.x and use it with 5.x. I added two
test scripts to the bug report.
The Field::eq() considered instances of Field_bit that differ only in
bit_ptr/bit_ofs equal. This caused equality conditions optimization
(build_equal_items_for_cond()) to make bad field substitutions that result
in wrong predicates.
Field_bit requires an overloaded eq() function that checks the bit_ptr/bit_ofs
in addition to Field::eq().
When a CREATE TABLE command created a table from a materialized
view id does not inherit default values from the underlying table.
Moreover the temporary table used for the view materialization
does not inherit those default values.
In the case when the underlying table contained ENUM fields it caused
misleading error messages. In other cases the created table contained
wrong default values.
The code was modified to ensure inheritance of default values for
materialized views.
Mutli-table uses temporary table to store new values for fields. With the
new values the rowid of the record to be updated is stored in a Field_string
field. Table to be updated is set as source table of the rowid field.
But when the temporary table creates the tmp field for the rowid field it
converts it to a varstring field because the table to be updated was created by
the v4.1. Due to this the stored rowids were broken and no records for
update were found.
The flag can_alter_field_type is added to Field_string class. When it is set to
0 the field won't be converted to varstring. The Field_string::type() function
now always returns MYSQL_TYPE_STRING if can_alter_field_type is set to 0.
The multi_update::initialize_tables() function now sets can_alter_field_type
flag to 0 for the rowid fields denying conversion of the field to a varstring
field.
The wrong value was being reported as the field_length for BIT
fields, resulting in confusion for at least Connector/J. The
field_length is now always the number of bits in the field, as
it should be.
