![]() The source of the problem is in Field_longlong::cmp. If 'this' is an unsigned number, the method casts both the current value, and the constant that we compare with to an unsigned number. As a result if the constant we compare with is a negative number, it wraps to some unsigned number, and the comparison is incorrect. When the optimizer chooses the "range" access method, this problem causes handler::read_range_next to reject the current key when the upper bound key is a negative number because handler::compare_key incorrectly considers the positive and negative keys to be equal. The current patch does not correct the source of the problem in Field_longlong::cmp because it is not easy to propagate sign information about the constant at query execution time. Instead the patch changes the range optimizer so that it never compares unsiged fields with negative constants. As an added benefit, queries that do such comparisons will execute faster because the range optimizer replaces conditions like: (a) (unsigned_int [< | <=] negative_constant) == FALSE (b) (unsigned_int [> | >=] negative_constant) == TRUE with the corresponding constants. In some cases this may even result in constant time execution. |

This directory contains a test suite for mysql daemon. To run the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it. If you want to run the test with a running MySQL server use the --external option to mysql-test-run. Note that you do not have to have to do make install, and you could actually have a co-existing MySQL installation - the tests will not conflict with it. All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please read the following manual section of how to report the problem: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/MySQL_test_suite.html You can create your own test cases. To create a test case: xemacs t/test_case_name.test in the file, put a set of SQL commands that will create some tables, load test data, run some queries to manipulate it. We would appreciate if the test tables were called t1, t2, t3 ... (to not conflict too much with existing tables). Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This will ensure that one can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your test case you should do create the result file as follows: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test cases consistent of SQL commands and comments you can create the test case one of the following ways: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result - If the result is wrong, you have found a bug; In this case you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail to bugs@lists.mysql.com
