Item::val_xxx() may be called by the server several times at execute time
for a single query. Calls to val_xxx() may be very expensive and sometimes
(count(distinct), sum(distinct), avg(distinct)) not possible.
To avoid that problem the results of calculation for these aggregate
functions are cached so that val_xxx() methods just return the calculated
value for the second and subsequent calls.
It's not possible to flush the global status variables in 5.0
Update test case so it works by recording the value of handle_rollback
before and compare it to the value after
Problem: SHOW CREATE TABLE printed garbage in table
name for tables having TURKISH I
(i.e. LATIN CAPITABLE LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE)
when lower-case-table-name=1.
Reason: In some cases during lower/upper conversion in utf8,
the result string can be shorter the original string
(including the above letter). Old implementation of caseup_str()
and casedn_str() didn't handle the result length properly,
assuming that length cannot change.
This fix changes the result type of cs->cset->casedn_str()
and cs->cset->caseup_str() from VOID to UINT, to return
the result length, as well as put '\0' terminator on a
proper place.
Also, my_caseup_str_utf8() and my_casedn_str_utf8() were
rewritten not to use strlen() for performance purposes.
It was done with help of adding of new functions - my_utf8_uni_no_range()
and my_uni_utf8_no_range() - for null terminated strings.
Problem: Too confusing error message when cannot convert
between string and column character sets on INSERT and UPDATE.
Fix: producing a better error message, instead of "Data too long"
in such cases
Additional changes: Adding "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" into several
tests to be safe against failures in previous tests.
decimal->ulong conversion fixed to assign max possible ULONG if decimal
is bigger
Item_func_unsigned now handles DECIMAL parameter separately as we can't
rely on decimal::val_int result here.
a updatable view.
When there's a VIEW on a base table that have AUTO_INCREMENT column, and
this VIEW doesn't provide an access such column, after INSERT to such
VIEW LAST_INSERT_ID() did not return the value just generated.
This behaviour is intended and correct, because if the VIEW doesn't list
some columns then these columns are effectively hidden from the user,
and so any side effects of inserting default values to them.
However, there was a bug that such statement inserting into a view would
reset LAST_INSERT_ID() instead of leaving it unchanged.
This patch restores the original value of LAST_INSERT_ID() instead of
resetting it to zero.
If the error happens during DELETE IGNORE, nothing could be send to the
client, thus leaving it frozen expecting the reply.
The problem was that if some error occurred, it wouldn't be reported to
the client because of IGNORE, but neither success would be reported.
MySQL 4.1 would not freeze the client, but will report
ERROR 1105 (HY000): Unknown error
instead, which is also a bug.
The solution is to report success if we are in DELETE IGNORE and some
non-fatal error has happened.
