This is for bug #29446 "Specifying a myisam_sort_buffer > 4GB on 64 bit machines not possible". Support for myisam_sort_buffer_size > 4 GB on 64-bit Windows will be looked at later in 5.2.
The function str_to_date has a field to say whether it's invoked constant
arguments. But this member was not initialized, causing the function to
think that it could use a cache of the format type when said cache was in
fact not initialized.
Fixed by initializing the field to false.
and for bug #31070: crash during conversion of charsets
Problem: passing a 0 byte length string to some my_mb_wc_XXX()
functions leads to server crash due to improper argument check.
Fix: properly check arguments passed to my_mb_wc_XXX() functions.
The Item_func_rollup_const class is used for wrapping constants to avoid
wrong result for ROLLUP queries with DISTINCT and a constant in the select
list. This class is also used to wrap up a NULL constant but its null_value
wasn't set accordingly. This led to a server crash.
Now the null_value of an object of the Item_func_rollup_const class is set
by its fix_length_and_dec member function.
mysqldump adds the "-- Dump completed on YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" string
to the end of output if the --comments switch is on.
The only way to suppress this line is to use --skip-comments/--compact
switch.
New switch has been added to the mysqldump client command line:
--dump-date.
For the compatibility with previous releases, by default the --dump-date
is on.
The --dump-date switch forces mysqldump to add date to the
"-- Dump completed on ..." string at the end of output.
The --skip-dump-date switch supresses the output of date string
and uses short form of that commentary: "-- Dump completed".
--skip-comments or --compact switches disable the whole commentary
as usual.
Problem: some valid euc-kr characters were rejected because
condition checking multi-byte tail didn't allow
multi-byte characters having the second byte in the ranges
[0x41..0x5A] and [0x61..0x7A].
Fix: allow these byte ranges for mb tails
When CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE .. SELECT is invoked from a stored function
which in turn is called from CREATE TABLE SELECT causes a memory leak
because the inner create temporary table overrides the outter extra_lock
reference when locking the table.
The solution is to simply not overrride the extra_lock by only using the
extra_lock for a non-temporary table lock.
insert_id after succ. mysql_change_user() call.
See also WL 4066.
This bug reveals two problems:
- the problem on the client side which was described originally;
- the problem in protocol / the server side: connection context
on client and server should be like after mysql_real_connect()
and be consistent. The server however just resets character
set variables to the global defaults.
The fix seems to be as follows:
- extend the protocol so that the client be able to send
character set information in COM_CHANGE_USER command;
- change the server so that it understands client character set
in the command;
- change the client:
- reset character set to the default value (which has been
read from the configuration);
- send character set in COM_CHANGE_USER command.
The NAME_CONST function is required to work correctly with constants only.
When executed with functions that return types other than those returned by
Item::field_type (string, int, decimal, or real), the result gets cast to
one of those types. This cannot happen for constants.
Fixed by only allowing constants as arguments to NAME_CONST.
