The problem was that ALTER TABLE on a merge table which was locked
using LOCK TABLE ... WRITE, by mistake gave
ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED_FOR_WRITE.
During opening of the table to be ALTERed, open_table() tried to
get an upgradable metadata lock. In LOCK TABLEs mode, this lock
must already exist (i.e. taken by LOCK TABLE) as new locks of this
type cannot be acquired for fear of deadlock. So in LOCK TABLEs
mode, open_table() tried to find an existing upgradable lock for
the table to be altered.
The problem was that open_table() also tried to find upgradable
metadata locks for children of merge tables even if no such
locks are needed to execute ALTER TABLE on merge tables.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that open tables code
only searches for upgradable metadata locks for the merge table
and not for the merge children tables.
The patch also fixes a related bug where an upgradable metadata
lock was aquired outside of LOCK TABLEs mode even if the table in
question was temporary. This bug meant that LOCK TABLES or DDL on
temporary tables by mistake could be blocked/aborted by locks held
on base tables with the same table name by other connections.
Test cases added to merge.test and lock_multi.test.
The problem was that the CSV storage engine does not support NULL
fields, yet in some early 5.1 version the log tables (general_log
and slow_log) were created with null fields. On top of this, when
altering a CSV table column, all fields of the table must be NOT
NULL otherwise the alteration fails.
The solution is to ensure that during upgrade all columns of the
log tables are NOT NULL.
The test failed due to Bug #29790.
However, logics of the failing part does not need I_S selecting.
Fixing to remove the non-deterministic I_S selecting as redundant
from a part of the test dealing with BUG@22864.
The problem is that cond->fix_fields(thd, 0) breaks
condition(cuts off 'having'). The reason of that is
that NULL valued Item pointer is present in the
middle of Item list and it breaks the Item processing
loop.
performance degradation.
Filesort + join cache combination is preferred to full index scan because it
is usually faster. But it's not the case when the index is clustered one.
Now test_if_skip_sort_order function prefers filesort only if index isn't
clustered.
Attempts to execute RESET statements within a transaction that
had acquired metadata locks, led to an assertion failure on
debug servers. This bug didn't cause any problems on release
builds.
The triggered assert is designed to check that caches are not
flushed or reset while having active transactions. It is triggered
if acquired metadata locks exist that are not from LOCK TABLE or
HANDLER statements.
In this case it was triggered by RESET QUERY CACHE while having
an active transaction that had acquired locks. The reason the
assertion was triggered, was that RESET statements, unlike the
similar FLUSH statements, was not causing an implicit commit.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure RESET statements
commit the current transaction before executing. The commit
causes acquired metadata locks to be released, preventing the
assertion from being triggered.
Incompatible change: This patch changes RESET statements so
that they cause an implicit commit.
Test case added to query_cache.test.

Propagation of a large unsigned numeric constant
in the WHERE expression led to wrong result.
For example,
"WHERE a = CAST(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF AS USIGNED) AND FOO(a)",
where a is an UNSIGNED BIGINT, and FOO() accepts strings,
was transformed to "... AND FOO('-1')".
That has been fixed.
Also EXPLAIN EXTENDED printed incorrect numeric constants in
transformed WHERE expressions like above. That has been
fixed too.
bool MDL_context::try_acquire_lock(MDL_request*)
This assert was triggered in the following way:
1) HANDLER OPEN t1 from connection 1
2) DROP TABLE t1 from connection 2. This will block due to the metadata lock
held by the open handler in connection 1.
3) DML statement (e.g. INSERT) from connection 1. This will close the table
opened by the HANDLER in 1) and release its metadata lock. This is done due
to the pending exclusive metadata lock from 2).
4) DROP TABLE t1 from connection 2 now completes and removes table t1.
5) HANDLER READ from connection 1. Since the handler table was closed in 3),
the handler code will try to reopen the table. First a new metadata lock on
t1 will be granted before the command fails since the table was removed in 4).
6) HANDLER READ from connection 1. This caused the assert.
The reason for the assert was that the MDL_request's pointer to the lock
ticket was not reset when the statement failed. HANDLER READ then tried to
acquire a lock using the same MDL_request object, triggering the assert.
This bug was only noticeable on debug builds and did not cause any problems
on release builds.
This patch fixes the problem by assuring that the pointer to the metadata
lock ticket is reset when reopening of handler tables fails.
Test case added to handler.inc
The problem was in an incorrect debug assertion. The expression
used in the failing assertion states that when finding
references matching ORDER BY expressions, there can be only one
reference to a single table. But that does not make any sense,
all test cases for this bug are valid examples with multiple
identical WHERE expressions referencing the same table which
are also present in the ORDER BY list.
Fixed by removing the failing assertion. We also have to take
care of the 'found' counter so that we count multiple
references only once. We rely on this fact later in
eq_ref_table().
- Remove INSTALL-BINARY from installed docs directory, we provide a copy
in the root directory (but perhaps this should be revisited later).
- Disable audit_null and daemon_example plugins.
- Fix the docs directory.
- Remove mysql-test/Makefile.in
- Build and install mysql_tzinfo_to_sql
- Remove share/charsets/languages.html
For temporary tables that are created with an engine that does
not provide the HTON_CAN_RECREATE, the truncate operation is
performed resorting to the optimized handler::ha_delete_all_rows
method. However, this means that the truncate will share
execution path, from mysql_delete, with truncate on regular
tables and other delete operations. As a consequence the truncate
operation, for the temporary table is logged, even if in row mode
because there is no distinction between this and the other delete
operations at binlogging time.
We fix this by checking if: (i) the binlog format, when the
truncate operation was issued, is ROW; (ii) if the operation is a
truncate; and (iii) if the table is a temporary table; before
writing to the binary log. If all three conditions are met, we
skip writing to the binlog. A side effect of this fix is that we
limit the scope of setting and resetting the
current_stmt_binlog_row_based. Now we just set and reset it
inside mysql_delete in the boundaries of the
handler::ha_write_row loop. This way we have access to
thd->current_stmt_binlog_row_based real value inside
mysql_delete.
SUPER_ACL should be checked unconditionally while verifying if the binlog_format
or the binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates might be changed.
Roughly speaking, both session values cannot be changed in the context of a
transaction or a stored function. Note that changing the global value does
not cause any effect until a new connection is created.
So, we fixed the problem by first checking the permissions and right after further
verifications are ignored if the global value is being updated. In this patch, we
also re-structure the test case to make it more readable.
