When an alias is set to a column leading spaces are removed from the alias.
But when this is done on aliases set by user this can lead to confusion.
Now Item::set_name() method issues the warning if leading spaces were removed
from an alias set by user.
New warning message is added.
DESCRIBE returned the type BIGINT for a column of a view if the column
was specified by an expression over values of the type INT.
E.g. for the view defined as follows:
CREATE VIEW v1 SELECT COALESCE(f1,f2) FROM t1
DESCRIBE returned type BIGINT for the only column of the view if f1,f2 are
columns of the INT type.
At the same time DESCRIBE returned type INT for the only column of the table
defined by the statement:
CREATE TABLE t2 SELECT COALESCE(f1,f2) FROM t1.
This inconsistency was removed by the patch.
Now the code chooses between INT/BIGINT depending on the
precision of the aggregated column type.
Thus both DESCRIBE commands above returns type INT for v1 and t2.
* don't use join cache when the incoming data set is already ordered
for ORDER BY
This choice must be made because join cache will effectively
reverse the join order and the results will be sorted by the index
of the table that uses join cache.
may return a wrong result.
An Item_sum_hybrid object has the was_values flag which indicates whether any
values were added to the sum function. By default it is set to true and reset
to false on any no_rows_in_result() call. This method is called only in
return_zero_rows() function. An ALL/ANY subquery can be optimized by MIN/MAX
optimization. The was_values flag is used to indicate whether the subquery
has returned at least one row. This bug occurs because return_zero_rows() is
called only when we know that the select will return zero rows before
starting any scans but often such information is not known.
In the reported case the return_zero_rows() function is not called and
the was_values flag is not reset to false and yet the subquery return no rows
Item_func_not_all and Item_func_nop_all functions return a wrong
comparison result.
The end_send_group() function now calls no_rows_in_result() for each item
in the fields_list if there is no rows were found for the (sub)query.
The ALL/ANY subqueries are the subject of MIN/MAX optimization. The matter
of this optimization is to embed MIN() or MAX() function into the subquery
in order to get only one row by which we can tell whether the expression
with ALL/ANY subquery is true or false.
But when it is applied to a subquery like 'select a_constant' the reported bug
occurs. As no tables are specified in the subquery the do_select() function
isn't called for the optimized subquery and thus no values have been added
to a MIN()/MAX() function and it returns NULL instead of a_constant.
This leads to a wrong query result.
For the subquery like 'select a_constant' there is no reason to apply
MIN/MAX optimization because the subquery anyway will return at most one row.
Thus the Item_maxmin_subselect class is more appropriate for handling such
subqueries.
The Item_in_subselect::single_value_transformer() function now checks
whether tables are specified for the subquery. If no then this subselect is
handled like a UNION using an Item_maxmin_subselect object.
To make MySQL compatible with some ODBC applications, you can find
the AUTO_INCREMENT value for the last inserted row with the following query:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE auto_col IS NULL.
This is done with a special code that replaces 'auto_col IS NULL' with
'auto_col = LAST_INSERT_ID'.
However this also resets the LAST_INSERT_ID to 0 as it uses it for a flag
so as to ensure that only the first SELECT ... WHERE auto_col IS NULL
after an INSERT has this special behaviour.
In order to avoid resetting the LAST_INSERT_ID a special flag is introduced
in the THD class. This flag is used to restrict the second and subsequent
SELECTs instead of LAST_INSERT_ID.
Fix random failures in test 'wait_timeout' that depend on exact timing.
1. Force a reconnect initially if necessary, as otherwise slow startup
might have caused a connection timeout before the test can even start.
2. Explicitly disconnect the first connection to remove confusion about
which connection aborts from timeout, causing test failure.
The implementation of the method Item_func_reverse::val_str
for the REVERSE function modified the argument of the function.
This led to wrong results for expressions that contained
REVERSE(ref) if ref occurred somewhere else in the expressions.
a too large value": the bug was that if MySQL generated a value for an
auto_increment column, based on auto_increment_* variables, and this value
was bigger than the column's max possible value, then that max possible
value was inserted (after issuing a warning). But this didn't honour
auto_increment_* variables (and so could cause conflicts in a master-master
replication where one master is supposed to generated only even numbers,
and the other only odd numbers), so now we "round down" this max possible
value to honour auto_increment_* variables, before inserting it.
Adding decimal "digits" in multiplication resulted in signed overflow and
producing wrong results.
Fixed by using large enough buffers and intermediary result types :
dec2 (currently longlong) to hold result of adding decimal "digits"
(currently int32).
"temporary table with data directory option fails"
myisam should not use user-specified table name when creating
temporary tables and use generated connection specific real name.
Test included.
auto_increment breaks binlog":
if slave's table had a higher auto_increment counter than master's (even
though all rows of the two tables were identical), then in some cases,
REPLACE and INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE failed to replicate
statement-based (it inserted different values on slave from on master).
write_record() contained a "thd->next_insert_id=0" to force an adjustment
of thd->next_insert_id after the update or replacement. But it is this
assigment introduced indeterminism of the statement on the slave, thus
the bug. For ON DUPLICATE, we replace that assignment by a call to
handler::adjust_next_insert_id_after_explicit_value() which is deterministic
(does not depend on slave table's autoinc counter). For REPLACE, this
assignment can simply be removed (as REPLACE can't insert a number larger
than thd->next_insert_id).
We also move a too early restore_auto_increment() down to when we really know
that we can restore the value.
run at startup"
The server returned an error when trying to execute init-file with a
stored procedure that could return multiple result sets to the client.
A stored procedure can return multiple result sets if it contains
PREPARE, SELECT, SHOW and similar statements.
The fix is to set client_capabilites|=CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS in
sql_parse.cc:handle_bootstrap(). There is no "client" really, so
nothing is ever sent. This makes init-file feature behave consistently:
the prepared statements that can be called directly in the init-file
can be used in a stored procedure too.
Re-committed the patch originally submitted by Per-Erik after review.
