multiquery packet).
Background:
- a query can contain multiple SQL statements;
- the server frees resources allocated to process a query when the
whole query is handled. In other words, resources allocated to process
one SQL statement from a multi-statement query are freed when all SQL
statements are handled.
The problem was that the parser allocated a buffer of size of the whole
query for each SQL statement in a multi-statement query. Thus, if a query
had many SQL-statements (so, the query was long), but each SQL statement
was short, ther parser tried to allocate huge amount of memory (number of
small SQL statements * length of the whole query).
The memory was allocated for a so-called "cpp buffer", which is intended to
store pre-processed SQL statement -- SQL text without version specific
comments.
The fix is to allocate memory for the "cpp buffer" once for all SQL
statements (once for a query).
