When calculating the result length of an integer DIV function
the number of decimals was used without checking the result type
first. Thus an uninitialized number of decimals was used for some
types. This caused an excessive amount of memory to be allocated
for the field's buffer and crashed the server.
Fixed by using the number of decimals only for data types that
can have decimals and thus have valid decimals number.
The optimizer takes different execution paths during EXPLAIN than SELECT,
this fix relates only to EXPLAIN, hence no behavior changes.
The test of sort keys for ORDER BY was prohibited from considering keys
that were mentioned in IGNORE KEYS FOR ORDER BY. This led to two
inconsistencies: One was that IGNORE INDEX FOR GROUP BY and
IGNORE INDEX FOR ORDER BY gave apparently different EXPLAINs; the latter
erroneously claimed to do filesort. The second inconsistency
is that the test of sort keys is called twice, finding a sort key the first
time but not the second time, leading to the mentioned filesort.
Fixed by making the test of sort keys consider all enabled
keys on the table. This test rejects keys that are not covering, and for
covering keys the hint should be ignored anyway.
When expanding a * in a USING/NATURAL join the check for table access
for both tables in the join was done using the grant information of the
first one.
Fixed by getting the grant information for the current table while
iterating through the columns of the join.
Always include all sub directories in "make dist"
Removed incorrect comment
configure.in:
Unconditionally list make files in AC_CONFIG_FILES
Removed 'thread_dirs', it is not used
Minor cleanup
compile-dist:
Simplified the configure line needed for "make dist" to get it all
zlib.m4, ssl.m4:
Unconditionally list make files in AC_CONFIG_FILES
Makefile.am:
Removed DIST_SUBDIRS not needed
Don't copy soft links as files into source package
The `SELECT col FROM t WHERE col NOT IN (col, ...) GROUP BY col'
crashed in the range optimizer.
The get_func_mm_tree function has been modified to check the
Item_func_in::array field for the NULL value before using of that
value.
When storing the VIEW the CREATE VIEW command is reconstructed
from the parse tree. While constructing the command string
the index hints specified should also be printed.
Fixed by adding code to print the index hints when printing a
table in the FROM clause.
type of the result.
There are several functions that accept parameters of different types.
The result field type of such functions was determined based on
the aggregated result type of its arguments. As the DATE and the DATETIME
types are represented by the STRING type, the result field type
of the affected functions was always STRING for DATE/DATETIME arguments.
The affected functions are COALESCE, IF, IFNULL, CASE, LEAST/GREATEST, CASE.
Now the affected functions aggregate the field types of their arguments rather
than their result types and return the result of aggregation as their result
field type.
The cached_field_type member variable is added to the number of classes to
hold the aggregated result field type.
The str_to_date() function's result field type now defaults to the
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME.
The agg_field_type() function is added. It aggregates field types with help
of the Field::field_type_merge() function.
The create_table_from_items() function now uses the
item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function to get the proper field
when the item is a function with a STRING result type.
