WL#3681 (ALTER TABLE ORDER BY)
Before this fix, the ALTER TABLE statement implemented an ORDER BY option
with the following characteristics :
1) The order by clause accepts a list of criteria, with optional ASC or
DESC keywords
2) Each criteria can be a general expression, involving operators,
native functions, stored functions, user defined functions, subselects ...
With this fix :
1) has been left unchanged, since it's a de-facto existing feature,
that was already present in the code base and partially covered in the test
suite. Code coverage for ASC and DESC was missing and has been improved.
2) has been changed to limit the kind of criteria that are permissible:
now only a column name is valid.
The problem was that if a prepared statement accessed a view, the
access to the tables listed in the query after that view was done in
the security context of the view.
The bug was in the assigning of the security context to the tables
belonging to a view: we traversed the list of all query tables
instead. It didn't show up in the normal (non-prepared) statements
because of the different order of the steps of checking privileges
and descending into a view for normal and prepared statements.
The solution is to traverse the list and stop once the last table
belonging to the view was processed.
of untouched rows in full table scans".
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE/LOCK IN SHARE MODE statements as well as
UPDATE/DELETE statements which were executed using full table
scan were not releasing locks on rows which didn't satisfy
WHERE condition.
This bug surfaced in 5.0 and affected NDB tables. (InnoDB tables
intentionally don't support such unlocking in default mode).
This problem occured because code implementing join didn't call
handler::unlock_row() for rows which didn't satisfy part of condition
attached to this particular table/level of nested loop. So we solve
the problem adding this call.
Note that we already had this call in place in 4.1 but it was lost
(actually not quite correctly placed) when we have introduced nested
joins.
Also note that additional QA should be requested once this patch is
pushed as interaction between handler::unlock_row() and many recent
MySQL features such as subqueries, unions, views is not tested enough.
ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good
character in some locales. This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in
ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from being used. Now if
0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an
error.
Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This
solution should serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with
',' in their enums), but WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE
WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/ That is, mysqldump with their current
server, and restore when upgrading to one with this patch.
According to some internal communication, these two functions are place
holders for future enhancements. Because they use a variable number of
parameters, the implementation defined a reserved keyword for them in the
parser grammar.
Unfortunately, doing so creates a bug similar to Bug 21114 reported for the
function FORMAT.
In the 5.1 code base, due to improvements in the code implemented with bug
21114, having a reserved keyword for functions with a variable number of
arguments is not needed any more by the implementation.
As a result, this fix removes the place-holder implementation, and removes
the unnecessary reserved keywords. Should the functions UNIQUE_USERS and
GROUP_UNIQUE_USERS be finally implemented in a later release, the
implementation should sub class Create_native_func in sql/item_create.cc.
For example, see the class Create_func_concat.
aliases ignored
When a column reference to a column in JOIN USING is resolved and a new
Item is created for this column the user defined name was lost.
This fix preserves the alias by setting the name of the new Item to the
original alias.
In the method Item_field::fix_fields we try to resolve the name of
the field against the names of the aliases that occur in the select
list. This is done by a call of the function find_item_in_list.
When this function finds several occurrences of the field name
it sends an error message to the error queue and returns 0.
Yet the code did not take into account that find_item_in_list
could return 0 and tried to dereference the returned value.
- configure --disable-grant-options defines DISABLE_GRANT_OPTIONS
- configure.js/cmake also updated
- if DISABLE_GRANT_OPTIONS is defined, mysqld no longer recognizes:
--bootstrap
--init-file
--skip-grant-tables
Scripts which rely on those three options are modified to check the environment for MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP; it should be set to the full path of a mysqld which does handle those options.
For example:
$ export MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP
$ MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP=/path/to/full/MySQL/bin/mysqld
$ mysql_install_db
$ make test
used.
The Item::save_in_field() function is called from fill_record() to fill the
new row with data while execution of the CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement.
Item::save_in_field() calls val_xxx() methods in order to get values.
val_xxx() methods do not take into account the result field. Due to this
Item_func_set_user_var::val_xxx() methods returns values from the original
table, not from the temporary one.
The save_in_field() member function is added to the Item_func_set_user_var
class. It detects whether the result field should be used and properly updates
the value of the user variable.
