Bug#13417754 ASSERT IN ROW_DROP_DATABASE_FOR_MYSQL DURING DROP SCHEMA
This assert could be triggered if an InnoDB table was being moved
to a different database using ALTER TABLE ... RENAME, while this
database concurrently was being dropped by DROP DATABASE.
The reason for the problem was that no metadata lock was taken
on the target database by ALTER TABLE ... RENAME.
DROP DATABASE was therefore not blocked and could remove
the database while ALTER TABLE ... RENAME was executing. This
could cause the assert in InnoDB to be triggered.
This patch fixes the problem by taking a IX metadata lock on
the target database before ALTER TABLE ... RENAME starts
moving a table to a different database.
Note that this problem did not occur with RENAME TABLE which
already takes the correct metadata locks.
Also note that this patch slightly changes the behavior of
ALTER TABLE ... RENAME. Before, the statement would abort and
return an error if a lock on the target table name could not
be taken immediately. With this patch, ALTER TABLE ... RENAME
will instead block and wait until the lock can be taken
(or until we get a lock timeout). This also means that it is
possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK errors in this situation
since we allow ALTER TABLE ... RENAME to wait and not just
abort immediately.

Problem Statement:
------------------
mysqldump is not having the dump stmts for general_log and slow_log
tables. That is because of the fix for Bug#26121. Hence, after
dropping the mysql database, and applying the dump by enabling the
logging, "'general_log' table not found" errors are logged into the
server log file.
Analysis:
---------
As part of the fix for Bug#26121, we skipped the dumping of tables
for general_log and slow_log, because the data dump of those tables
are taking LOCKS, which is not allowed for log tables.
Fix:
----
We came up with an approach that instead of taking both meta data
and data dump information for those tables, take only the meta data
dump which doesn't need LOCKS.
As part of fixing the issue we came up with below algorithm.
Design before fix:
1) mysql database is having tables like db, event,... general_log,
... slow_log...
2) Skip general_log and slow_log while preparing the tables list
3) Take the TL_READ lock on tables which are present in the table
list and do 'show create table'.
4) Release the lock.
Design with the fix:
1) mysql database is having tables like db, event,... general_log,
... slow_log...
2) Skip general_log and slow_log while preparing the tables list
3) Explicitly call the 'show create table' for general_log and
slow_log
3) Take the TL_READ lock on tables which are present in the table
list and do 'show create table'.
4) Release the lock.
While taking the meta data dump for general_log and slow_log the
"CREATE TABLE" is replaced with "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS".
This is because we skipped "DROP TABLE" for those tables,
"DROP TABLE" fails for these tables if logging is enabled.
Customer is applying the dump by enabling logging so, if the dump
has "DROP TABLE" it will fail. Hence, removed the "DROP TABLE"
stmts for those tables.
After the fix we could observe "Table 'mysql.general_log'
doesn't exist" errors initially that is because in the customer
scenario they are dropping the mysql database by enabling the
logging, Hence, those errors are expected. Once we apply the
dump which is taken before the "drop database mysql", the errors
will not be there.

IF LOCALHOST IS BOTH IPV4/IPV6 ENABLED.
The original patch removed default value of the bind-address option.
So, the default value became NULL. By coincedence NULL resolves
to 0.0.0.0 and ::, and since the server chooses first IPv4-address,
0.0.0.0 is choosen. So, there was no change in the behaviour.
This patch restores default value of the bind-address option to "0.0.0.0".
Details:
- test case bug12427262.test was failing on windows because
on windows '/' was not recognized. And this was used in
LIKE clause of the query being run in this test case.
Fix:
- Windows needs '\\\\' for path seperater in mysql. I was
not sure how to keep a single query with two different
syntax based on platform. So modifying query to make sure
it runs correctly on both platform.
ORDER BY COUNT(*) LIMIT.
PROBLEM:
With respect to problem in the bug description, we
exhibit different behaviors for the two tables
presented, because innodb statistics (rec_per_key
in this case) are updated for the first table
and not so for the second one. As a result the
query plan gets changed in test_if_skip_sort_order
to use 'index' scan. Hence the difference in the
explain output. (NOTE: We can reproduce the problem
with first table by reducing the number of tuples
and changing the table structure)
The varied output w.r.t the query on the second table
is because of the result in the query plan change.
When a query plan is changed to use 'index' scan,
after the call to test_if_skip_sort_order, we set
keyread to TRUE immedietly. If for some reason
we drop this index scan for a filesort later on,
we fetch only the keys not the entire tuple.
As a result we would see junk values in the result set.
Following is the code flow:
Call test_if_skip_sort_order
-Choose an index to give sorted output
-If this is a covering index, set_keyread to TRUE
-Set the scan to INDEX scan
Call test_if_skip_sort_order second time
-Index is not chosen (note that we do not pass the
actual limit value second time. Hence we do not choose
index scan second time which in itself is a bug fixed
in 5.6 with WL#5558)
-goto filesort
Call filesort
-Create quick range on a different index
-Since keyread is set to TRUE, we fetch only the columns of
the index
-results in the required columns are not fetched
FIX:
Remove the call to set_keyread(TRUE) from
test_if_skip_sort_order. The access function which is
'join_read_first' or 'join_read_last' calls set_keyread anyways.
TABLES IN INCORRECT ENGINE
PROBLEM:
CREATE/ALTER TABLE currently can move system tables like
mysql.db, user, host etc, to engines other than MyISAM. This is not
completely supported as of now, by mysqld. When some of system tables
like plugin, servers, event, func, *_priv, time_zone* are moved
to innodb, mysqld restart crashes. Currently system tables
can be moved to BLACKHOLE also!!!.
ANALYSIS:
The problem is that there is no check before creating or moving
a system table to some particular engine.
System tables are suppose to be residing in MyISAM. We can think
of restricting system tables to exist only in MyISAM. But, there could
be future needs of these system tables to be part of other engines
by design. For eg, NDB cluster expects some tables to be on innodb
or ndb engine. This calls for a solution, by which system
tables can be supported by any desired engine, with minimal effort.
FIX:
The solution provides a handlerton interface using which,
mysqld server can query particular storage engine handlerton for
system tables that it supports. This way each storage engine
layer can define their own system database and system tables.
The check_engine() function uses the new handlerton function
ha_check_if_supported_system_table() to check if db.tablename
provided in the DDL is supported by the SE.
Note: This fix has modified a test in help.test, which was moving
mysql.help_* to innodb. The primary intention of the test was not
to move them between engines.
Bug#13639204 64111: CRASH ON SELECT SUBQUERY WITH NON UNIQUE INDEX
The crash happened due to wrong calculation
of key length during creation of reference for
sort order index. The problem is that
keyuse->used_tables can have OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT enabled
but used_tables parameter(create_ref_for_key() func) does
not have it. So key parts which have OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT
are ommited and it could lead to incorrect key length
calculation(zero key length).
Background:
- as described in MySQL Internals Prepared Stored
(http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_Internals_Prepared_Stored),
the Optimizer sometimes does destructive changes to the parsed
LEX-object (Item-tree), which makes it impossible to re-use
that tree for PS/SP re-execution.
- in order to be able to re-use the Item-tree, the destructive
changes are remembered and rolled back after the statement execution.
The problem, discovered by this bug, was that the objects representing
GROUP-BY clause did not restored after query execution. So, the GROUP-BY
part of the statement could not be properly re-initialized for re-execution
after destructive changes.
Those objects do not take part in the Item-tree, so they can not be saved
using the approach for Item-tree.
The fix is as follows:
- introduce a new array in st_select_lex to store the original
ORDER pointers, representing the GROUP-BY clause;
- Initialize this array in fix_prepare_information().
- restore the list of GROUP-BY items in reinit_stmt_before_use().
HANG IN PREPARING WITH 100% CPU USAGE
Infinite loop in the subselect_indexsubquery_engine::exec()
function caused Server hang with 100% CPU usage.
The BLACKHOLE storage engine didn't update handler's
table->status variable after index operations, that
caused an infinite "while(!table->status)" execution.
Index access methods of the BLACKHOLE engine handler
have been updated to set table->status variable to
STATUS_NOT_FOUND or 0 when such a method returns a
HA_ERR_END_OF_FILE error or 0 respectively.
Analysis:
-------------------------------
According to the Manual
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html):
"Column, index, stored routine, and event names are not case sensitive on any
platform, nor are column aliases."
In other words, 'lower_case_table_names' does not affect the behaviour of
those identifiers.
On the other hand, trigger names are case sensitive on some platforms,
and case insensitive on others. 'lower_case_table_names' does not affect
the behaviour of trigger names either.
The bug was that SHOW statements did case sensitive comparison
for stored procedure / stored function / event names.
Fix:
Modified the code so that comparison in case insensitive for routines
and events for "SHOW" operation.
As part of this commit, only fixing the test failures due to the actual code fix.

Problem:
Field_set::val_str in case of an empty SET value
returned a String with str_length==0 and Ptr==0,
which is not expected by some pieces of the code.
Fix:
Returning an empty string with str_length==0 and Ptr=="",
like Field_enum does.
AND SAVEPOINT.
The bug was introduced by the patch for bug#11766752. This patch sets too
strong condition on XA state for SAVEPOINT statement that disallows its
execution during XA transaction. But since the statement SAVEPOINT doesn't
imply implicit commit we can allow its handling during XA transaction.
The patch explicitly check for transaction state against states XA_NOTR
and XA_ACTIVE for which the handling of statement SAVEPOINT for XA
transaction is allowed.
The table contains one time value: '00:00:32'
This value is converted to timestamp by a subquery.
In convert_constant_item we call (*item)->is_null()
which triggers execution of the Item_singlerow_subselect subquery,
and the string "0000-00-00 00:00:32" is cached
by Item_cache_datetime.
We continue execution and call update_null_value, which calls val_int()
on the cached item, which converts the time value to ((longlong) 32)
Then we continue to do (*item)->save_in_field()
which ends up in Item_cache_datetime::val_str() which fails,
since (32 < 101) in number_to_datetime, and val_str() returns NULL.
Item_singlerow_subselect::val_str isnt prepared for this:
if exec() succeeds, and return !null_value, then val_str()
*must* succeed.
Solution: refuse to cache strings like "0000-00-00 00:00:32"
in Item_cache_datetime::cache_value, and return NULL instead.
This is similar to the solution for
Bug#11766860 - 60085: CRASH IN ITEM::SAVE_IN_FIELD() WITH TIME DATA TYPE
This patch is for 5.5 only.
The issue is not present after WL#946, since a time value
will be converted to a proper timestamp, with the current date
rather than "0000-00-00"
We are trying to sort a lot of text/blob fields,
so the buffer is indeed too small.
Memory available = thd->variables.sortbuff_size = 262144
min_sort_memory = param.sort_length*MERGEBUFF2 = 292245
So the decision to abort the query is correct.
filesort() calls my_error(), the error is reported.
But, since we have DELETE IGNORE ... the error is converted to a warning by
THD::raise_condition
filesort currently expects an error to be recorded in the THD diagnostics
area.
If we lift this restriction (remove the assert) we end up in the familiar
void Protocol::end_statement()
default:
DBUG_ASSERT(0);
The solution seems to be to call my_error(ME_FATALERROR) in filesort,
so that the error is propagated as an error rather than a warning.
ENOUGH - CONCAT() HACKS. ALSO WRONG
ERROR MESSAGE WHILE TRYING TO CREATE
A VIEW ON A NON EXISTING DATABASE
PROBLEM:
The first part of the problem is concluded as not a
bug, as 'concat' is not a reserved word and it is
completely valid to create a view with the name
'concat'.
The second issue is, while trying to create a view on
a non existing database, we are not giving a proper error
message.
FIX:
We have added a check for the database existence while
trying to create a view. This check would give an error
as 'unknown database' when the database does not exist.
This patch is a backport of the patch for Bug#13601606
Problem: Grouping results by VALUES(alias for string literal) causes
the server to crash.
Item_insert_values is not constructed to handle other types of
arguments than field and reference to field. In this case, the
argument is an Item_string, and this causes
Item_insert_values::fix_fields() to crash.
Fix: Issue an error message when the argument to Item_insert_values is
not a field or a reference to a field.
This is slightly in breach with documentation, which states that
VALUES should return NULL, but the error message is only issued in
cases where the server otherwise would crash, so there is no change in
behavior for queries that already work. Future versions will restrict
syntax so that using VALUES in this way is illegal.
