operations)
Before this change, the boolean predicates:
- X IS TRUE,
- X IS NOT TRUE,
- X IS FALSE,
- X IS NOT FALSE
were implemented by expanding the Item tree in the parser, by using a
construct like:
Item_func_if(Item_func_ifnull(X, <value>), <value>, <value>)
Each <value> was a constant integer, either 0 or 1.
A bug in the implementation of the function IF(a, b, c), in
Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec(), would cause the following :
When the arguments b and c are both unsigned, the result type of the
function was signed, instead of unsigned.
When the result of the if function is signed, space for the sign could be
counted twice (in the max() expression for a signed argument, and in the
total), causing the member max_length to be too high.
An effect of this is that the final type of IF(x, int(1), int(1)) would be
int(2) instead of int(1).
With this fix, the problems found in Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec()
have been fixed.
While it's semantically correct to represent 'X IS TRUE' with
Item_func_if(Item_func_ifnull(X, <value>), <value>, <value>),
there are however more problems with this construct.
a)
Building the parse tree involves :
- creating 5 Item instances (3 ints, 1 ifnull, 1 if),
- creating each Item calls my_pthread_getspecific_ptr() once in the operator
new(size), and a second time in the Item::Item() constructor, resulting
in a total of 10 calls to get the current thread.
Evaluating the expression involves evaluating up to 4 nodes at runtime.
This representation could be greatly simplified and improved.
b)
Transforming the parse tree internally with if(ifnull(...)) is fine as long
as this transformation is internal to the server implementation.
With views however, the result of the parse tree is later exposed by the
::print() functions, and stored as part of the view definition.
Doing this has long term consequences:
1)
The original semantic 'X IS TRUE' is lost, and replaced by the
if(ifnull(...)) expression. As a result, SHOW CREATE VIEW does not restore
the original code.
2)
Should a future version of MySQL implement the SQL BOOLEAN data type for
example, views created today using 'X IS NULL' can be exported using
mysqldump, and imported again. Such views would be converted correctly and
automatically to use a BOOLEAN column in the future version.
With 'X IS TRUE' and the current implementations, views using these
"boolean" predicates would not be converted during the export/import, and
would use integer columns instead.
The difference traces back to how SHOW CREATE VIEW preserves 'X IS NULL' but
does not preserve the 'X IS TRUE' semantic.
With this fix, internal representation of 'X IS TRUE' booleans predicates
has changed, so that:
- dedicated Item classes are created for each predicate,
- only 1 Item is created to represent 1 predicate
- my_pthread_getspecific_ptr() is invoked 1 time instead of 10
- SHOW CREATE VIEW preserves the original semantic, and prints 'X IS TRUE'.
Note that, because of the fix in Item_func_if, views created before this fix
will:
- correctly use a int(1) type instead of int(2) for boolean predicates,
- incorrectly print the if(ifnull(...), ...) expression in SHOW CREATE VIEW,
since the original semantic (X IS TRUE) has been lost.
- except for the syntax used in SHOW CREATE VIEW, these views will operate
properly, no action is needed.
Views created after this fix will operate correctly, and will preserve the
original code semantic in SHOW CREATE VIEW.
Before this change, a local variables in stored procedures / stored functions
or triggers, when declared with a type of bit(N), would not evaluate their
value properly.
The problem was that the data was incorrectly typed as a string,
causing for example bit b'1', implemented as a byte 0x01, to be interpreted
as a string starting with the character 0x01. This later would cause
implicit conversions to integers or booleans to fail.
The root cause of this problem was an incorrect translation between field
types, like bit(N), and internal types used when representing values in Item
objects.
Also, before this change, the function HEX() would sometime print extra "0"
characters when invoked with bit(N) values.
With this fix, the type translation (sp_map_result_type, sp_map_item_type)
has been changed so that bit(N) fields are represented with integer values.
A consequence is that, for the function HEX(), when called with a stored
procedure local variable of type bit(N) as argument, HEX() is provided with an
integer instead of a string, and therefore does not print "0" padding.
A test case for Bug 12976 was present in the test suite, and has been updated.
fails
The bug was introduced with the push of the fix for bug#20953: after
the error on view creation we never reset the error state, so some
valid statements would give the same error after that.
The solution is to properly reset the error state.
There was already support for CREATE DEFINER=... EVENT syntax in the
parser, but DEFINER information was ignored.
This patch adds processing of DEFINER, and a new ALTER DEFINER=...
EVENT syntax.
wrong file
After execution of SET GLOBAL SLOW_QUERY_LOG_FILE=...; slow query log
data would go into the general log file.
The problem was in the bogus cut-n-paste in the code.
Before this fix, a IN predicate of the form: "IN (( subselect ))", with two
parenthesis, would be evaluated as a single row subselect: if the subselect
returns more that 1 row, the statement would fail.
The SQL:2003 standard defines a special exception in the specification,
and mandates that this particular form of IN predicate shall be equivalent
to "IN ( subselect )", which involves a table subquery and works with more
than 1 row.
This fix implements "IN (( subselect ))", "IN ((( subselect )))" etc
as per the SQL:2003 requirement.
All the details related to the implementation of this change have been
commented in the code, and the relevant sections of the SQL:2003 spec
are given for reference, so they are not repeated here.
Having access to the spec is a requirement to review in depth this patch.
This patch implements the idea of the bug report by making Event_queue
unaware of Event_db_repository by making a higher level class - Events,
which is aware of most of all classes, responsible for passing all data
needed for adding/updating/deleting an event to/from the queue.
Introduces few new classes :
- Event_worker_thread
- Event_queue_element_for_exec
high load
MySQL server could crash if two or more threads would initiate query
cache resize at the moments very close in time.
The problem was introduced with the fix of bug 21051 in 5.0 and 5.1:
simultaneous query cache resizes would wait for the first one in
progress, but then each thread would try to finish the operation,
accessing the data that was already reset (attempt to dereference
'bins' pointer, which may be NULL already).
The solution is to check after synchronization if another thread has
done the reset already (test 'query_cache_size > 0' again).
No test case is provided because the bug is a subject to a race.
The build scripts in general, using automake, autoconf, etc, contain several
special commands and work around all related to the way the bison code in the
parser is built, for sql/sql_yacc.yy. These work arounds, accumulated over
time during development, ultimately cause the build scripts to be unstable
and cause build defects by not enforcing dependencies.
This fix simplifies the build process and aligns it with the automake tooling,
which provides native support for bison and *.yy files.
In particular, the following problem have been fixed:
- dependencies with sql_yacc.cc were not honored (Bug 21029), leading to
corrupted builds,
- the work around introduced by Bug 24557, to cleanup the generated files
sql_yacc.h and sql_yacc.cc, has been removed,
- the generated makefile, in a source distribution, used to destroy the files
sql_yacc.h and sql_yacc.cc on a 'make clean' target. This has been fixed:
these files are now removed by make maintainer-clean.
- The root cause of the problem found with gcc 4.1 (see Bug 24619) has been
clearly documented, and the "sed" hack has been replaced by a cleaner
work around, when building the code with bison 1.875.
- Removed the file sql/sql_yacc.yy.bak, added by WL 3031 by accident.
- Removed the unnecessary AM_YFLAG= --debug introduced by WL 3432, since
the compiling option DBUG_OFF takes precedence when setting YYDEBUG.
Before this fix, the command SHOW ENGINE <name> STATUS would:
- print a warning if the engine name is unknown,
- proceed and implement the same behavior as SHOW ENGINE ALL STATUS,
and list the status of all the storage engines registered.
In particular, this behavior caused confusion about the command :
SHOW ENGINE MUTEX STATUS, which as a side effect would print the status
of the innodb engine when that engine is registered.
Also, before this fix, every time an unknown engine name was substituted by
the default engine (which happen unless SQL_MODE NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION is
set), a malformed warning was raised.
For example, the command ALTER TABLE T1 ENGINE = X would print :
Warnings:
Error 1286 Unknown table engine 'X'
With this fix:
SHOW ENGINE <name> STATUS|LOGS|MUTEX
always fails with an error when the engine <name> is unknown.
For other commands, warnings about unknown engines are raised as:
Warnings:
Warning 1286 Unknown table engine 'X'
In other words, engine substitution never affect the SHOW ENGINE command,
since this would lead to very confusing results.

on duplicate key".
INSERT ... SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE which was used in
stored routine or as prepared statement and which in its ON DUPLICATE
KEY clause erroneously tried to assign value to a column mentioned only
in its SELECT part was properly emitting error on the first execution
but succeeded on the second and following executions.
Code which is responsible for name resolution of fields mentioned in
UPDATE clause (e.g. see select_insert::prepare()) modifies table list
and Name_resolution_context used in this process. It uses
Name_resolution_context_state::save_state/restore_state() to revert
these modifications. Unfortunately those two methods failed to revert
properly modifications to TABLE_LIST::next_name_resolution_table
and this broke name resolution process for successive executions.
This patch fixes Name_resolution_context_state::save_state/restore_state()
in such way that it properly handles TABLE_LIST::next_name_resolution_table.
