Bug#57071: EXTRACT(WEEK from date_col) cannot be allowed as partitioning function
There were functions allowed as partitioning functions
that implicit allowed cast. That could result in unacceptable
behaviour.
Solution was to check that the arguments of date and time functions
have allowed types (field and date/datetime/time depending on function).
It was possible to issue an ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY on
an partitioned InnoDB table that failed and crashed the server.
The problem was that it succeeded to create the PK on at least
one partition, and then failed on a subsequent partition, due to
duplicate key violation. Since the partitions that already had added
the PK was not reverted all partitions was not consistent with the
table definition, which caused the crash.
The solution was to add a revert step to ha_partition::add_index()
that dropped the index for the already succeeded partitions, on failure.
Bug#57113: ha_partition::extra(ha_extra_function):
Assertion `m_extra_cache' failed
Fix for bug#55458 included DBUG_ASSERTS causing
debug builds of the server to crash on
another multi-table update.
Removed the asserts since they where wrong.
(updated after testing the patch in 5.5).
It was hard to understand what the error really meant.
The error checking in partitioning is done in several different
parts during the execution of a query which can make it
hard to return useful errors.
Added a new error for bad VALUES part in the per PARTITION clause.
Using the more verbose error that a column is not allowed in
the partitioning function instead of just that the function is
not allowed.
Before this fix, the ha_read_last_count status variable was defined and
updated internally, for never exposed as a system variable.
This fix exposes the system variable as "Handler_read_last",
for completness of the Handler_read_* system variables interface.
Adjusted tests results accordingly.
Problem was that the handler call ::extra(HA_EXTRA_CACHE) was cached
but the ::extra(HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_UPDATE) was not.
Solution was to also cache the other call and forward it when moving
to a new partition to scan.
myisam tables
Queries following TRUNCATE of partitioned MyISAM table
may crash server if myisam_use_mmap is true.
Internally this is MyISAM bug, but limited to partitioned
tables, because MyISAM doesn't use ::delete_all_rows()
method for TRUNCATE, but goes via table recreate instead.
MyISAM didn't properly fall back to non-mmaped I/O after
mmap() failure. Was not repeatable on linux before, likely
because (quote from man mmap):
SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if length is 0.
However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in
this case: no mapping was created and the call returned
addr. Since kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error
EINVAL for this case.
The task is to
(a) add a comment on indexes and
(b) increase the maximum length of column, table and the new index comments.
The patch committed on behalf of Yoshinori Matsunobu (Yoshinori.Matsunobu@Sun.COM).
Bug#40181 Made use of tdc_remove_table instead of just
setting share->version to 0 to make sure all unused table
instances go away as part of CREATE/ALTER TABLE.
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY
Problem was that during checking and preparation of the
partitioining function as a side effect in fix_fields
the full_group_by_flag was changed.
Solution was to set it back to its original value after
calling fix_fields.
Updated patch, to also exclude allow_sum_func from being
affected of fix_fields, as requested by reviewer.
backport for bug#44059 from mysql-pe to mysql-5.1-bugteam
Using the partition with most rows instead of first partition
to estimate the cardinality of indexes.
INSERT ... SELECT ...
Problem was that when bulk insert is used on an empty
table/partition, it disables the indexes for better
performance, but in this specific case it also tries
to read from that partition using an index, which is
not possible since it has been disabled.
Solution was to allow index reads on disabled indexes
if there are no records.
Also reverted the patch for bug#38005, since that was a workaround
in the partitioning engine instead of a fix in myisam.
when partition is reoganized.
Problem was that table->timestamp_field_type was not changed
before copying rows between partitions.
fixed by setting it to TIMESTAMP_NO_AUTO_SET as the first thing
in fast_alter_partition_table, so that all if-branches is covered.
column on partitioned table
An assertion 'ASSERT_COULUMN_MARKED_FOR_READ' is failed if the query
is executed with index containing double column on partitioned table.
The problem is that assertion expects all the fields which are read,
to be in the read_set.
In this query only the field 'a' is in the readset as the tables in
the query are joined by the field 'a' and so the assertion fails
expecting other field 'b'.
Since the function cmp() is just comparison of two parameters passed,
the assertion is not required.
Fixed by removing the assertion in the double fields comparision
function and also fixed the index initialization to do ordered
index scan with RW LOCK which ensures all the fields from a key are in
the read_set.
Note: this bug is not reproducible with other datatypes because the
assertion doesn't exist in comparision function for other
datatypes.
