when it was printing a Query event, it produced invalid SQL (missing
the BINLOG keyword, so the SQL started with the base64 string, which
is incorrect).
Note: no testcase; I have a .test which shows that the bugfix works,
but it triggers BUG#26361 and so gives Valgrind warnings. I'm sending
this test to the fixer of BUG#26361 for her/him to push when she/he
fixes BUG#26361.
what it actually means (Monty approved the renaming)
- correcting description of transaction_alloc command-line options
(our manual is correct)
- fix for a failure of rpl_trigger.
The problem in this bug is when we create temporary tables. When
temporary tables are created for unions, there is some
inferrence being carried out regarding the type of the column.
Whenever this column type is inferred to be REAL (i.e. FLOAT or
DOUBLE), MySQL will always try to maintain exact precision, and
if that is not possible (there are hardware limits, since FLOAT
and DOUBLE are stored as approximate values) will switch to
using approximate values. The problem here is that at this point
the information about number of significant digits is not
available. Furthermore, the number of significant digits should
be increased for the AVG function, however, this was not properly
handled. There are 4 parts to the problem:
#1: DOUBLE and FLOAT fields don't display their proper display
lengths in max_display_length(). This is hard-coded as 53 for
DOUBLE and 24 for FLOAT. Now changed to instead return the
field_length.
#2: Type holders for temporary tables do not preserve the
max_length of the Item's from which they are created, and is
instead reverted to the 53 and 24 from above. This causes
*all* fields to get non-fixed significant digits.
#3: AVG function does not update max_length (display length)
when updating number of decimals.
#4: The function that switches to non-fixed number of
significant digits should use DBL_DIG + 2 or FLT_DIG + 2 as
cut-off values (Since fixed precision does not use the 'e'
notation)
Of these points, #1 is the controversial one, but this
change is preferred and has been cleared with Monty. The
function causes quite a few unit tests to blow up and they had
to b changed, but each one is annotated and motivated. We
frequently see the magical 53 and 24 give way to more relevant
numbers.
fix for cast( AS DATETIME) + 0 operation.
I just implemented Item_datetime_typecast::val() method
as it is usually done in other classes.
Should be fixed more radically in 5.0
of its argument happened to be a decimal expression returning
the NULL value.
The crash was due to the fact the function in_decimal::set did
not take into account that val_decimal() could return 0 if
the decimal expression had been evaluated to NULL.
correct the bitmap_set_bit when a field is timestamp and described
with default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
then it will reduce a little time cost when the field doesnot need
to write.
on a database.
The problem was that we required not less privileges on the base tables
than we have on the view.
The fix is to be more flexible and allow to create such a view (necessary
privileges will be checked at the runtime).
INTO clause can be specified only for the last select of a UNION and it
receives the result of the whole query. But it was wrongly allowed in
non-last selects of a UNION which leads to a confusing query result.
Now INTO allowed only in the last select of a UNION.
