BUG#35274 - merge table doesn't need any base tables, gives
error 124 when key accessed
SELECT queries that use index against a merge table with empty
underlying tables list may return with error "Got error 124 from
storage engine".
The problem was that wrong error being returned.
when it should use index
Sometimes the LEFT/RIGHT JOIN with an empty table caused an
unnecessary filesort.
Sample query, where t1.i1 is indexed and t3 is empty:
SELECT t1.*, t2.* FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.i1 = t2.i2
LEFT JOIN t3 ON t2.i2 = t3.i3
ORDER BY t1.i1 LIMIT 5;
The server erroneously used an item of empty outer-joined
table as a common constant of a Item_equal (multi-equivalence
expression).
By the fix for the bug 16590 the constant status of such
an item has been propagated to st_table::const_key_parts
map bits related to other Item_equal argument-related
key parts (those are obviously not constant in our case).
As far as test_if_skip_sort_order function skips constant
prefixes of testing keys, this caused an ignorance of
available indices, since some prefixes were marked as
constant by mistake.

On Intel x86 machines index selection by the MySQL query
optimizer could sometimes depend on the compiler version and
optimization flags used to build the server binary.
The problem was a result of a known issue with floating point
calculations on x86: since internal FPU precision (80 bit)
differs from precision used by programs (32-bit float or 64-bit
double), the result of calculating a complex expression may
depend on how FPU registers are allocated by the compiler and
whether intermediate values are spilled from FPU to memory. In
this particular case compiler versions and optimization flags
had an effect on cost calculation when choosing the best index
in best_access_path().
A possible solution to this problem which has already been
implemented in mysql-trunk is to limit FPU internal precision
to 64 bits. So the fix is a backport of the relevant code to
5.1 from mysql-trunk.
The problem is that if a NULL is stored in an Item_cache_decimal object,
the associated my_decimal object is not initialized. However, it is still
accessed when val_int() is called. The fix is to check for null_value
within val_int(), and return without accessing the my_decimal object when
the cached value is NULL.
Bug#52122 reports the same issue for val_real(), and this patch also includes
fixes for val_real() and val_str() and corresponding test cases from that
bug report.
Also, NULL is returned from val_decimal() when value is null. This will
avoid that callers access an uninitialized my_decimal object.
Made similar changes to all other Item_cache classes. Now all val_*
methods should return a well defined value when actual value is NULL.
is allowed on views (not documented, broken)".
Remove support of ALTER TABLE RENAME for views as:
a) this feature was not documented,
c) does not add any compatibility with other databases,
b) its implementation doesn't follow metadata locking
protocol by accessing .FRM without holding any
metadata lock,
c) its implementation complicates ALTER TABLE's code
by introducing yet another separate branch to it.
After this patch one can rename a view by using the
documented way - RENAME TABLE statement.
Add code to waiting for a set of errors.
Add code to waiting for an error instead of waiting for io thread to stop, as
after 'START SLAVE', the status of io thread is still not running.
But it doesn't mean slave io thread encounters an error.
without FOR UPDATE is causing a lock".
SELECT statements with subqueries referencing InnoDB tables
were acquiring shared locks on rows in these tables when they
were executed in REPEATABLE-READ mode and with statement or
mixed mode binary logging turned on.
This was a regression which were introduced when fixing
bug 39843.
The problem was that for tables belonging to subqueries
parser set TL_READ_DEFAULT as a lock type. In cases when
statement/mixed binary logging at open_tables() time this
type of lock was converted to TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock at
open_tables() time and caused InnoDB engine to acquire
shared locks on reads from these tables. Although in some
cases such behavior was correct (e.g. for subqueries in
DELETE) in case of SELECT it has caused unnecessary locking.
This patch implements minimal version of the fix for the
specific problem described in the bug-report which supposed
to be not too risky for pushing into 5.1 tree.
The 5.5 tree already contains a more appropriate solution
which also addresses other related issues like bug 53921
"Wrong locks for SELECTs used stored functions may lead
to broken SBR".
This patch tries to solve the problem by ensuring that
TL_READ_DEFAULT lock which is set in the parser for
tables participating in subqueries at open_tables()
time is interpreted as TL_READ_NO_INSERT or TL_READ.
TL_READ is used only if we know that this is a SELECT
and that this particular table is not used by a stored
function.
Test coverage is added for both InnoDB and MyISAM.
This patch introduces an "incompatible" change in locking
scheme for subqueries used in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and
SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE.
In 4.1 (as well as in 5.0 and 5.1 before fix for bug 39843)
the server would use a snapshot InnoDB read for subqueries
in SELECT FOR UPDATE and SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE statements,
regardless of whether the binary log is on or off.
If the user required a different type of read (i.e. locking
read), he/she could request so explicitly by providing FOR
UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE clause for each individual subquery.
The patch for bug 39843 broke this behaviour (which was not
documented or tested), and started to use locking reads for
all subqueries in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE.
This patch restores 4.1 behaviour.
This patch should be mostly null-merged into 5.5 tree.
We should avoid any SHARE fields assignments as
this is shared structure and assignments may
affect other therads. To avoid this
copy of SHARE struct is created and
stored into TABLE struct which is
used in get_schema_coulumns_record later.
The thd->variables.option_bits & OPTION_BIN_LOG is currently abused:
it's both a system variable and an implementation switch. The current
approach to this option bit breaks the session variable encapsulation.
Besides it is allowed to change @@session.sql_bin_log within a
transaction what may lead to not correctly logging a transaction.
To fix the problems, we created a thd->variables variable to represent
the "sql_log_bin" and prohibited its update inside a transaction or
sub-statement.
There are two problems:
1. In simplify_joins function we calculate table dependencies. If STRAIGHT_JOIN hint
is used for whole SELECT we do not count it and as result some dependendecies
might be lost. It leads to incorrect table order which is returned by
join_tab_cmp_straight() function.
2. make_join_statistics() calculate the transitive closure for relations a particular
JOIN_TAB is 'dependent on'.
We aggregate the dependent table_map of a JOIN_TAB by adding dependencies from other
tables which we depend on. However, this may also cause new dependencies to be
available after we have completed processing a certain JOIN_TAB.
Both these problems affect condition pushdown and as result condition might be pushed
into wrong table which leads to crash or even omitted which leads to wrong result.
The fix:
1. Use modified 'transitive closure' algorithm provided by Ole John Aske
2. Update table dependences in simplify_joins according to
global STRAIGHT_JOIN hint.
Note: the patch also fixes bugs 46091 & 51492
The problem was that mdl_sync.test was failing sporadically,
due to fact that part of the test didn't take into account
effects of MyISAM's concurrent insert.
This patch solves the problem by making test case robust
against concurrent insert.
SELECT and ALTER TABLE ... REBUILD PARTITION".
ALTER TABLE on InnoDB table (including partitioned tables)
acquired exclusive locks on rows of table being altered.
In cases when there was concurrent transaction which did
locking reads from this table this sometimes led to a
deadlock which was not detected by MDL subsystem nor by
InnoDB engine (and was reported only after exceeding
innodb_lock_wait_timeout).
This problem stemmed from the fact that ALTER TABLE acquired
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock on table being altered. This lock
was interpreted as a write lock and thus for table being
altered handler::external_lock() method was called with
F_WRLCK as an argument. As result InnoDB engine treated
ALTER TABLE as an operation which is going to change data
and acquired LOCK_X locks on rows being read from old
version of table.
In case when there was a transaction which already acquired
SR metadata lock on table and some LOCK_S locks on its rows
(e.g. by using it in subquery of DML statement) concurrent
ALTER TABLE was blocked at the moment when it tried to
acquire LOCK_X lock before reading one of these rows.
The transaction's attempt to acquire SW metadata lock on
table being altered led to deadlock, since it had to wait
for ALTER TABLE to release SNW lock. This deadlock was not
detected and got resolved only after timeout expiring
because waiting were happening in two different subsystems.
Similar deadlocks could have occured in other situations.
This patch tries to solve the problem by changing ALTER TABLE
implementation to use TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock instead of
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ. After this step handler::external_lock()
is called with F_RDLCK as an argument and InnoDB engine
correctly interprets ALTER TABLE as operation which only
reads data from original version of table. Thanks to this
ALTER TABLE acquires only LOCK_S locks on rows it reads.
This, in its turn, causes inter-subsystem deadlocks to go
away, as all potential lock conflicts and thus deadlocks will
be limited to metadata locking subsystem:
- When ALTER TABLE reads rows from table being altered it
can't encounter any locks which conflict with LOCK_S row
locks. There should be no concurrent transactions holding
LOCK_X row locks. Such a transaction should have been
acquired SW metadata lock on table first which would have
conflicted with ALTER's SNW lock.
- Vice versa, when DML which runs concurrently with ALTER
TABLE tries to lock row it should be requesting only LOCK_S
lock which is compatible with locks acquired by ALTER,
as otherwise such DML must own an SW metadata lock on table
which would be incompatible with ALTER's SNW lock.

The problem was that TRUNCATE TABLE didn't take a exclusive
lock on a table if it resorted to truncating via delete of
all rows in the table. Specifically for InnoDB tables, this
could break proper isolation as InnoDB ends up aborting some
granted locks when truncating a table.
The solution is to take a exclusive metadata lock before
TRUNCATE TABLE can proceed. This guarantees that no other
transaction is using the table.
Incompatible change: Truncate via delete no longer fails
if sql_safe_updates is activated (this was a undocumented
side effect).
bitmap_is_set(table->read_set, field_index))
UPDATE on an InnoDB table modifying the same index that is used
to satisfy the WHERE condition could trigger a debug assertion
under some circumstances.
Since for engines with the HA_PRIMARY_KEY_IN_READ_INDEX flag
set results of an index scan on a secondary index are appended
by the primary key value, if a query involves only columns from
the primary key and a secondary index, the latter is considered
to be covering.
That tricks mysql_update() to mark for reading only columns
from the secondary index when it does an index scan to retrieve
rows to update in case a part of that key is also being
updated. However, there may be other columns in WHERE that are
part of the primary key, but not the secondary one.
What we actually want to do in this case is to add index
columns to the existing WHERE columns bitmap rather than
replace it.
