An assertion abort could occur for some grouping queries that employed
decimal user variables with assignments to them.
The problem appeared the constructors of the class Field_new_decimal
because the function my_decimal_length_to_precision did not guarantee
returning decimal precision not greater than DECIMAL_MAX_PRECISION.
The cast operation ignored the cases when the precision and/or the scale exceeded
the limits, 65 and 30 respectively. No errors were reported in these cases.
For some queries this may lead to an assertion abort.
Fixed by throwing errors for such cases.
The SELECT INTO OUTFILE FIELDS ENCLOSED BY digit or minus sign,
followed by the same LOAD DATA INFILE statement, used wrond encoding
of non-string fields contained the enclosed character in their text
representation.
Example:
SELECT 15, 9 INTO OUTFILE 'text' FIELDS ENCLOSED BY '5';
Old encoded result in the text file:
5155 595
^ was decoded as the 1st enclosing character of the 2nd field;
^ was skipped as garbage;
^ ^ was decoded as a pair of englosing characters of the 1st field;
^ was decoded as traling space of the first field;
^^ was decoded as a doubled enclosed character.
New encoded result in the text file:
51\55 595
^ ^ pair of enclosing characters of the 1st field;
^^ escaped enclosed character.
AsText() needs to know the maximum number of
characters a IEEE double precision value can
occupy to make sure there's enough buffer space.
The number was too small to hold all possible
values and this caused buffer overruns.
Fixed by correcting the calculation of the
maximum digits in a string representation of an
IEEE double precision value as printed by
String::qs_append(double).
Problem: logging queries not using indexes we check a special flag which
is set only at the server startup and is not changing with a corresponding
server variable together.
Fix: check the variable value instead of the flag.
Problem: in case of failed 'show binlog events...' we don't inform that
the log is not in use anymore. That may confuse following 'purge logs...'
command as it takes into account logs in use.
Fix: always notify that the log is not in use anymore.
This bug may manifest itself for select queries over a multi-table view
that includes an ORDER BY clause in its definition. If the select list of
the query contains references to the same view column with different
aliases the names of the columns in the result output will be nevertheless
the same, coinciding with one of the alias.
The bug happened because the method Item_ref::get_tmp_table_item that
was inherited by the class Item_direct_view_ref ignored the fact that
the name of the view column reference must be inherited by the fields
of the temporary table that was created in order to get the result rows
sorted.
The `SELECT 'r' INTO OUTFILE ... FIELDS ENCLOSED BY 'r' ' statement
encoded the 'r' string to a 4 byte string of value x'725c7272'
(sequence of 4 characters: r\rr).
The LOAD DATA statement decoded this string to a 1 byte string of
value x'0d' (ASCII Carriage Return character) instead of the original
'r' character.
The same error also happened with the FIELDS ENCLOSED BY clause
followed by special characters: 'n', 't', 'r', 'b', '0', 'Z' and 'N'.
NOTE 1: This is a result of the undocumented feature: the LOAD DATA INFILE
recognises 2-byte input sequences like \n, \t, \r and \Z in addition
to documented 2-byte sequences: \0 and \N. This feature should be
documented (here backspace character is a default ESCAPED BY character,
in the real-life example it may be any ESCAPED BY character).
NOTE 2, changed behaviour:
Now the `SELECT INTO OUTFILE' statement with the `FIELDS ENCLOSED BY'
clause followed by one of: 'n', 't', 'r', 'b', '0', 'Z' or 'N' characters
encodes this special character itself by doubling it ('r' --> 'rr'),
not by prepending it with an escape character.
This bug may manifest itself not only with the queries for which
the index-merge access method is chosen. It also may display
itself for queries with DISTINCT.
The bug was in how the Unique::get method used the merge_buffers
function. To compare elements in the the queue employed by
merge_buffers() it must use the buffpek_compare function rather
than the function for binary comparison.
When a UNION statement forced conversion of an UTF8
charset value to a binary charset value, the byte
length of the result values was truncated to the
CHAR_LENGTH of the original UTF8 value.
spaces.
When the my_strnncollsp_simple function compares two strings and one is a prefix
of another then this function compares characters in the rest of longer key
with the space character to find whether the longer key is greater or less.
But the sort order of the collation isn't used in this comparison. This may
lead to a wrong comparison result, wrongly created index or wrong order of the
result set of a query with the ORDER BY clause.
Now the my_strnncollsp_simple function uses collation sort order to compare
the characters in the rest of longer key with the space character.
