checked for each record'
The problem was in incorrectly calculated length of the buffer used to
store a hexadecimal representation of an index map in
select_describe(). This could result in buffer overrun and stack
corruption under some circumstances.
Fixed by correcting the calculation.

The problems were:
Bug 26379 - Combination of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE
corrupts a MERGE table
1. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting while
REPAIR TABLE or a similar table administration task is ongoing on
one or more of its MyISAM tables.
2. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting until all
threads that did REPAIR TABLE or similar table administration tasks
on one or more of its MyISAM tables in LOCK TABLES segments do UNLOCK
TABLES. The difference against problem #1 is that the busy waiting
takes place *after* the administration task. It is terminated by
UNLOCK TABLES only.
3. Two FLUSH TABLES within a LOCK TABLES segment can invalidate the
lock. This does *not* require a MERGE table. The first FLUSH TABLES
can be replaced by any statement that requires other threads to
reopen the table. In 5.0 and 5.1 a single FLUSH TABLES can provoke
the problem.
Bug 26867 - LOCK TABLES + REPAIR + merge table result in
memory/cpu hogging
Trying DML on a MERGE table, which has a child locked and
repaired by another thread, made an infinite loop in the server.
Bug 26377 - Deadlock with MERGE and FLUSH TABLE
Locking a MERGE table and its children in parent-child order
and flushing the child deadlocked the server.
Bug 25038 - Waiting TRUNCATE
Truncating a MERGE child, while the MERGE table was in use,
let the truncate fail instead of waiting for the table to
become free.
Bug 25700 - merge base tables get corrupted by
optimize/analyze/repair table
Repairing a child of an open MERGE table corrupted the child.
It was necessary to FLUSH the child first.
Bug 30275 - Merge tables: flush tables or unlock tables
causes server to crash
Flushing and optimizing locked MERGE children crashed the server.
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking
Use of a temporary MERGE table with non-temporary children
could corrupt the children.
Temporary tables are never locked. So we do now prohibit
non-temporary chidlren of a temporary MERGE table.
Bug 27660 - Falcon: merge table possible
It was possible to create a MERGE table with non-MyISAM children.
Bug 30273 - merge tables: Can't lock file (errno: 155)
This was a Windows-only bug. Table administration statements
sometimes failed with "Can't lock file (errno: 155)".
These bugs are fixed by a new implementation of MERGE table open.
When opening a MERGE table in open_tables() we do now add the
child tables to the list of tables to be opened by open_tables()
(the "query_list"). The children are not opened in the handler at
this stage.
After opening the parent, open_tables() opens each child from the
now extended query_list. When the last child is opened, we remove
the children from the query_list again and attach the children to
the parent. This behaves similar to the old open. However it does
not open the MyISAM tables directly, but grabs them from the already
open children.
When closing a MERGE table in close_thread_table() we detach the
children only. Closing of the children is done implicitly because
they are in thd->open_tables.
For more detail see the comment at the top of ha_myisammrg.cc.
Changed from open_ltable() to open_and_lock_tables() in all places
that can be relevant for MERGE tables. The latter can handle tables
added to the list on the fly. When open_ltable() was used in a loop
over a list of tables, the list must be temporarily terminated
after every table for open_and_lock_tables().
table_list->required_type is set to FRMTYPE_TABLE to avoid open of
special tables. Handling of derived tables is suppressed.
These details are handled by the new function
open_n_lock_single_table(), which has nearly the same signature as
open_ltable() and can replace it in most cases.
In reopen_tables() some of the tables open by a thread can be
closed and reopened. When a MERGE child is affected, the parent
must be closed and reopened too. Closing of the parent is forced
before the first child is closed. Reopen happens in the order of
thd->open_tables. MERGE parents do not attach their children
automatically at open. This is done after all tables are reopened.
So all children are open when attaching them.
Special lock handling like mysql_lock_abort() or mysql_lock_remove()
needs to be suppressed for MERGE children or forwarded to the parent.
This depends on the situation. In loops over all open tables one
suppresses child lock handling. When a single table is touched,
forwarding is done.
Behavioral changes:
===================
This patch changes the behavior of temporary MERGE tables.
Temporary MERGE must have temporary children.
The old behavior was wrong. A temporary table is not locked. Hence
even non-temporary children were not locked. See
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking.
You cannot change the union list of a non-temporary MERGE table
when LOCK TABLES is in effect. The following does *not* work:
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ...;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 WRITE, m1 WRITE;
ALTER TABLE m1 ... UNION=(t1,t2) ...;
However, you can do this with a temporary MERGE table.
You cannot create a MERGE table with CREATE ... SELECT, neither
as a temporary MERGE table, nor as a non-temporary MERGE table.
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ... SELECT ...;
Gives error message: table is not BASE TABLE.
different error code depending on platform.
On Mac OS X, KILL statement issued to kill the current
connection would return a different error code and message than on
other platforms ('MySQL server has gone away' instead of 'Shutdown
in progress').
The reason for this difference was that on Mac OS X we have macro
SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE defined. This macro forces KILL
implementation to close the communication socket of the thread
that is being killed. SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE macro is defined on
platforms where just sending a signal is not a reliable mechanism
to interrupt the thread from sleeping on a blocking system call.
In a nutshell, closing the socket is a hack to work around an
operating system bug and awake the blocked thread no matter what.
However, if the thread that is being killed is the same
thread that issued KILL statement, closing the socket leads to a
prematurely lost connection. At the same time it is not necessary
to close the socket in this case, since the thread in question
is not inside a blocking system call.
The fix, therefore, is to not close the socket if the thread that
is being killed is the same that issued KILL statement, even with
defined SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE.
storage engine system variables was not validated and
unexpected value was assigned.
The check_func_enum function used subtraction from the uint
value with the probably negative result. That result of
type uint was compared with 0 after casting to signed long
type. On architectures where long type is longer than int
type the result of comparison was unexpected.
command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.
The columns in HAVING can reference the GROUP BY and
SELECT columns. There can be "table" prefixes when
referencing these columns. And these "table" prefixes
in HAVING use the table alias if available.
This means that table aliases are subject to the same
storage rules as table names and are dependent on
lower_case_table_names in the same way as the table
names are.
Fixed by :
1. Treating table aliases as table names
and make them lowercase when printing out the SQL
statement for view persistence.
2. Using case insensitive comparison for table
aliases when requested by lower_case_table_names
When mysql_server_init() interrupts on some error (wrong errmsg file
for example) in the middle of it's execution, it doesn't call
execute_ddl_log_recovery() so LOCK_gdl mutex isn't init-ed.
In this case we shouldn't execute release_ddl_log during cleanup
as it uses that mutex inside.
Crash happens as a result of NO_EMBEDDED_ACCESS_CHECKS option
(which is default for embedded server).
check_table_access failed on using unintialized structure.
Better solutions here is to disable that code completely in this case.
Though the crash happens only in 6.0 i belive it's good to do it in 5.1
max_length parameter for BLOB-returning functions must be big enough
for any possible content. Otherwise the field created for a table
will be too small.
Partition handler fails updating tables with partitioning
based on timestamp field, as it calculates the timestamp field
AFTER it calculates the number of partition of a record.
Fixed by adding timestamp_field->set_time() call and disabling
such consequent calls
