numbers into char fields" and bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of
exponent between Unix and Windows"
Rewrote the code that determines what 'precision' argument should be
passed to sprintf() to fit the string representation of the input number
into the field.
We get finer control over conversion by pre-calculating the exponent, so
we are able to determine which conversion format, 'e' or 'f', will be
used by sprintf().
We also remove the leading zero from the exponent on Windows to make it
compatible with the sprintf() output on other platforms.
Kill of a CREATE TABLE source_table LIKE statement waiting for a
name-lock on the source table causes a bad lock interaction.
The mysql_create_like_table() has a bug that if the connection is
killed while waiting for the name-lock on the source table, it will
jump to the wrong error path and try to unlock the source table and
LOCK_open, but both weren't locked.
The solution is to simple return when the name lock request is killed,
it's safe to do so because no lock was acquired and no cleanup is needed.
Original bug report also contains description of other problems
related to this scenario but they either already fixed in 5.1 or
will be addressed separately (see bug report for details).
Problem: passing a non-constant name to the NAME_CONST function results in a crash.
Fix: check the NAME_CONST name argument; return fake item type if we got
non-constant argument(s).
Sending several "KILL QUERY" statements to target a connection running
"SELECT SLEEP" could freeze the server.
The locking order in Item_func_sleep was wrong and this could lead to a
dead lock.
This patch solves the issue by resolving the locking order properly.
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK fails to properly detect write locked
tables when running under low priority updates.
The problem is that when trying to aspire a global read lock, the
reload_acl_and_cache() function fails to properly check if the thread
has a low priority write lock, which later my cause a server crash or
deadlock.
The solution is to simple check if the thread has any type of the
possible exclusive write locks.
Problem: setting Item_func_rollup_const::null_value property to argument's null_value
before (without) the argument evaluation may result in a crash due to wrong null_value.
Fix: use is_null() to set Item_func_rollup_const::null_value instead as it evaluates
the argument if necessary and returns a proper value.
Problem: we have CHECK TABLE options allowed (by accident?) for
ANALYZE/OPTIMIZE TABLE.
Fix: disable them.
Note: it might require additional fixes in 5.1/6.0
Fixes the following bugs:
- Bug #29560: InnoDB >= 5.0.30 hangs on adaptive hash rw-lock 'waiting for an X-lock'
Fixed a race condition in the rw_lock where an os_event_reset()
can overwrite an earlier os_event_set() triggering an indefinite
wait.
NOTE: This fix for windows is different from that for other platforms.
NOTE2: This bug is introduced in the scalability fix to the
sync0arr which was applied to 5.0 only. Therefore, it need not be
applied to the 5.1 tree. If we decide to port the scalability fix
to 5.1 then this fix should be ported as well.
- Bug #32125: Database crash due to ha_innodb.cc:3896: ulint convert_search_mode_to_innobase
When unknown find_flag is encountered in convert_search_mode_to_innobase()
do not call assert(0); instead queue a MySQL error using my_error() and
return the error code PAGE_CUR_UNSUPP. Change the functions that call
convert_search_mode_to_innobase() to handle that error code by "canceling"
execution and returning appropriate error code further upstream.
When the server was out of memory it crashed because of invalid memory access.
This patch adds detection for failed memory allocations and make the server
output a proper error message.
Server failed in assert() when we tried to create a DECIMAL() temp field
with a scale of more than the allowed 30. Now we limit the scale to the
allowed maximum. A truncation warning is thrown as necessary.
The columns in HAVING can reference the GROUP BY and
SELECT columns. There can be "table" prefixes when
referencing these columns. And these "table" prefixes
in HAVING use the table alias if available.
This means that table aliases are subject to the same
storage rules as table names and are dependent on
lower_case_table_names in the same way as the table
names are.
Fixed by :
1. Treating table aliases as table names
and make them lowercase when printing out the SQL
statement for view persistence.
2. Using case insensitive comparison for table
aliases when requested by lower_case_table_names
