TABLE DATA IF DUMPS MYSQL DATABA
Problem: If mysqldump is run without --events (or with --skip-events)
it will not dump the mysql.event table's data. This behaviour is inconsistent
with that of --routines option, which does not affect the dumping of
mysql.proc table. According to the Manual, --events (--skip-events) defines,
if the Event Scheduler events for the dumped databases should be included
in the mysqldump output and this has nothing to do with the mysql.event table
itself.
Solution: A warning has been added when mysqldump is used without --events
(or with --skip-events) and a separate patch with the behavioral change
will be prepared for 5.6/trunk.
WHEN DBNAME CONTAINS MULTIPLE QUOTES
MySQL client's USE command might fail if the
database name contains multiple quotes (backticks).
The reason behind the failure being the method
that client uses to remove/escape the quotes
while parsing the USE command's option (dbname),
where the option parsing might terminate if a
matching quote is found.
Also, C-APIs like mysql_select_db() expect a
normalized dbname. Now, in certain cases, client
might fail to normalize dbname similar to that of
server and hence mysql_select_db() would fail.
Fixed by getting the normalized dbname (indirectly)
from the server by directly sending the "USE dbanme"
as query to the server followed by a "SELECT DATABASE()".
The above steps are only performed if number of quotes
in the dbname is greater than 2. Once the normalized
dbname is received, the original db is restored.
WHEN STDIN IS A PIPE
Problem: Mysqlbinlog does not accept the input from STDIN when
STDIN is a pipe. This prevents the users from passing the input file
through a shell pipe.
Background: The my_seek() function does not check if the file descriptor
passed to it is regular (seekable) file. The check_header() function in
mysqlbinlog calls the my_b_seek() unconditionally and it fails when
the underlying file is a PIPE.
Resolution: We resolve this problem by checking if the underlying file
is a regular file by using my_fstat() before calling my_b_seek().
If the underlying file is not seekable we skip the call to my_b_seek()
in check_header().
client/mysqlbinlog.cc:
Added a check to avoid the my_b_seek() call if the
underlying file is a PIPE.
SHOW 2012 INSTEAD OF 2011

Problem description:
Giving "help 'contents'" in the mysql client as a first statement
gives error
Analysis:
In com_server_help() function the "server_cmd" variable was
initialised with buffer->ptr(). And the "server_cmd" variable is not
updated since we are passing "'contents'"(with single quote) so the
buffer->ptr() consists of the previous buffer values and it was sent
to the mysql_real_query() hence we are getting error.
Fix:
We are not initialising the "server_cmd" variable and we are updating
the variable with "server_cmd= cmd_buf" in any of the case i.e with
single quote or without single quote for the contents.
As part of error message improvement, added new error message in case
of "help 'contents'".
client/mysql.cc:
com_server_help(): Properly updated the server_cmd variable and improved
the error message.
Problem:
=======
The return value from my_b_write is ignored by: `my_b_write_quoted',
`my_b_write_bit',`Query_log_event::print_query_header'
Most callers of `my_b_printf' ignore the return value. `log_event.cc'
has many calls to it.
Analysis:
========
`my_b_write' is used to write data into a file. If the write fails it
sets appropriate error number and error message through my_error()
function call and sets the IO_CACHE::error == -1.
`my_b_printf' function is also used to write data into a file, it
internally invokes my_b_write to do the write operation. Upon
success it returns number of characters written to file and on error
it returns -1 and sets the error through my_error() and also sets
IO_CACHE::error == -1. Most of the event specific print functions
for example `Create_file_log_event::print', `Execute_load_log_event::print'
etc are the ones which make several calls to the above two functions and
they do not check for the return value after the 'print' call. All the above
mentioned abuse cases deal with the client side.
Fix:
===
As part of bug fix a check for IO_CACHE::error == -1 has been added at
a very high level after the call to the 'print' function. There are
few more places where the return value of "my_b_write" is ignored
those are mentioned below.

insted of the packet expected by the client for testing
purposes.
Problem: mysqlbinlog exits without any error code in case of
file write error. It is because of the fact that the calls
to Log_event::print() method does not return a value and the
thus any error were being ignored.
Resolution: We resolve this problem by checking for the
IO_CACHE::error == -1 after every call to Log_event:: print()
and terminating the further execution.

- handled error conditions during event->print() calls
- added check for error in end_io_cache()

CAUSES RESTORE PROBLEM
Problem Statement:
------------------
mysqldump is not having the dump stmts for general_log and slow_log
tables. That is because of the fix for Bug#26121. Hence, after
dropping the mysql database, and applying the dump by enabling the
logging, "'general_log' table not found" errors are logged into the
server log file.
Analysis:
---------
As part of the fix for Bug#26121, we skipped the dumping of tables
for general_log and slow_log, because the data dump of those tables
are taking LOCKS, which is not allowed for log tables.
Fix:
----
We came up with an approach that instead of taking both meta data
and data dump information for those tables, take only the meta data
dump which doesn't need LOCKS.
As part of fixing the issue we came up with below algorithm.
Design before fix:
1) mysql database is having tables like db, event,... general_log,
... slow_log...
2) Skip general_log and slow_log while preparing the tables list
3) Take the TL_READ lock on tables which are present in the table
list and do 'show create table'.
4) Release the lock.
Design with the fix:
1) mysql database is having tables like db, event,... general_log,
... slow_log...
2) Skip general_log and slow_log while preparing the tables list
3) Explicitly call the 'show create table' for general_log and
slow_log
3) Take the TL_READ lock on tables which are present in the table
list and do 'show create table'.
4) Release the lock.
While taking the meta data dump for general_log and slow_log the
"CREATE TABLE" is replaced with "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS".
This is because we skipped "DROP TABLE" for those tables,
"DROP TABLE" fails for these tables if logging is enabled.
Customer is applying the dump by enabling logging so, if the dump
has "DROP TABLE" it will fail. Hence, removed the "DROP TABLE"
stmts for those tables.
After the fix we could observe "Table 'mysql.general_log'
doesn't exist" errors initially that is because in the customer
scenario they are dropping the mysql database by enabling the
logging, Hence, those errors are expected. Once we apply the
dump which is taken before the "drop database mysql", the errors
will not be there.
client/mysqldump.c:
In get_table_structure() added code to skip the DROP TABLE stmts for general_log
and slow_log tables, because when logging is enabled those stmts will fail. And
replaced CREATE TABLE with CREATE IF NOT EXISTS for those tables, just to make
sure CREATE stmt for those tables doesn't fail since we removed DROP stmts for
those tables.
In dump_all_tables_in_db() added code to call get_table_structure() for
general_log and slow_log tables.

SYSTEM VARIABLE NAME SQL_MAX_JOIN_SI
BACKGROUND:
ER_TOO_BIG_SELECT refers to SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE, which is the
old name for MAX_JOIN_SIZE.
FIX:
Support for old name SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE is removed in MySQL 5.6
and is renamed as MAX_JOIN_SIZE.So the errmsg.txt
and mysql.cc files have been updated and the corresponding result
files have also been updated.
Call handle_error() instead of die() when evaluating these
Must remember "current command" with link to errors to ignore
Added test cases to mysqltest.test

from mysql-5.5. In detail, we add the oracle welcome notice
header file proposed in the original patch and include/use it
in client/mysqlbinlog.cc, replacing the existing and obsolete
notice.
WORK WITH --START-POSITION
If setting --start-position to start after the FD event, mysqlbinlog
will output an error stating that it has not found an FD event.
However, its not that mysqlbinlog does not find it but rather that it
does not processes it in the regular way (i.e., it does not print it).
Given that one is using --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS then not printing
it is actually fine.
To fix this, we make mysqlbinlog not to complain when it has not
printed the FD event, is outputing in base64, but is decoding the
rows.
create_schema if auto-generate-sql also set.
mysqlslap uses a schema to run its tests on and later
drops it if auto-generate-sql is used. This can be a
problem, if the schema is an already existing one.
If create-schema is used with auto-generate-sql option,
mysqlslap while performing the cleanup, drops the specified
database.
Fixed by introducing an option --no-drop, which, if used,
will prevent the dropping of schema at the end of the test.

causes future shutdown hang
InnoDB would hang on shutdown if any XA transactions exist in the
system in the PREPARED state. This has been masked by the fact that
MySQL would roll back any PREPARED transaction on shutdown, in the
spirit of Bug #12161 Xa recovery and client disconnection.
[mysql-test-run] do_shutdown_server: Interpret --shutdown_server 0 as
a request to kill the server immediately without initiating a
shutdown procedure.
xid_cache_insert(): Initialize XID_STATE::rm_error in order to avoid a
bogus error message on XA ROLLBACK of a recovered PREPARED transaction.
innobase_commit_by_xid(), innobase_rollback_by_xid(): Free the InnoDB
transaction object after rolling back a PREPARED transaction.
trx_get_trx_by_xid(): Only consider transactions whose
trx->is_prepared flag is set. The MySQL layer seems to prevent
attempts to roll back connected transactions that are in the PREPARED
state from another connection, but it is better to play it safe. The
is_prepared flag was introduced in the InnoDB Plugin.
trx_n_prepared: A new counter, counting the number of InnoDB
transactions in the PREPARED state.
logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): On shutdown, allow
trx_n_prepared transactions to exist in the system.
trx_undo_free_prepared(), trx_free_prepared(): New functions, to free
the memory objects of PREPARED transactions on shutdown. This is not
needed in the built-in InnoDB, because it would collect all allocated
memory on shutdown. The InnoDB Plugin needs this because of
innodb_use_sys_malloc.
trx_sys_close(): Invoke trx_free_prepared() on all remaining
transactions.
Problem: mysqlbinlog --server-id may filter out Format_description_log_events.
If mysqlbinlog does not process the Format_description_log_event,
then mysqlbinlog cannot read the rest of the binary log correctly.
This can have the effect that mysqlbinlog crashes, generates an error,
or generates output that causes mysqld to crash, generate an error,
or corrupt data.
Fix: Never filter out Format_description_log_events. Also, never filter
out Rotate_log_events.
client/mysqlbinlog.cc:
Process Format_description_log_events even when the
server_id does not match the number given by --server-id.
mysql-test/t/mysqlbinlog.test:
Add test case.
("-") IN DATABASE NAMES IN ALTER DATABASE.
mysqldump did not quote database name in 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements in its output. This can further cause a failure
while loading if database name contains a hyphen '-'.
This happened as, while printing the 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements, the database name was not quoted.
Fixed by quoting the database name.
client/mysqldump.c:
Bug#11766310 : 59398: MYSQLDUMP 5.1 CAN'T HANDLE A DASH
("-") IN DATABASE NAMES IN ALTER DATABASE.
Modified the print statement in order to print the quoted
database name for 'ALTER DATABASE' statements.

batch_readline_init() was modified - make check for
type of file for input stream unless target platform
is WINDOWS since on this platform S_IFBLK is undefined.
batch_readline_init() was modified - return an error
if the input source is a directory or a block device.
This follow-up is necessary because on some platforms,
such as Solaris, call to read() from directory may be
successful.
if the standard input is a directory.
The problem is that mysql monitor try to read from stdin without
checking input source type.
The solution is to stop reading data from standard input if a call
to read(2) failed.
A new test case was added into mysql.test.
client/my_readline.h:
Data members error and truncated was added to LINE_BUFFER structure.
These data members used instead of out parameters in functions
batch_readline, intern_read_line.
client/mysql.cc:
read_and_execute() was modified: set status.exit_status to 1
when the error occured while reading the next command line in
non-interactive mode. Also the value of the truncated attribute
of structure LINE_BUFF is taken into account only for non-iteractive mode.
client/readline.cc:
intern_read_line() was modified: cancel reading from input if
fill_buffer() returns -1, e.g. if call to read failed.
batch_readline was modified: set the error data member of LINE_BUFFER
structure to value of my_errno when system error happened during call
to my_read/my_realloc.
mysql-test/t/mysql.test:
Test for bug#57450 was added.
When mysqldadmin is run with sleep and count options,
it goes into an infinite loop and keeps executing the
specified command.
This happened because the statement, responsible for
decrementing the count value, was missing.
Fixed by adding a statement which will decrement the
count value for each iteration.
client/mysqladmin.cc:
Bug#58221 : mysqladmin --sleep=x --count=x keeps looping
Added a condition to check and decrement the count
value stored in nr_iterations per iteration.
mysql-test/r/mysqladmin.result:
Added a testcase for Bug#58221.
mysql-test/t/mysqladmin.test:
