GROUPING BY FUNCTIONS.... (PART
The bug was introduced in a patch for bug 49897.
Problem: The assertion inserted by the original patch to guard against
zero-lenght sort keys during merge phase triggers also when the whole
set fits in memory.
Fix: Move assert so that it does not trigger if the whole set is in
memory.
Converting the number zero to binary and back yielded the number zero,
but with no digits, i.e. zero precision.
This made the multiply algorithm go haywire in various ways.
PARTITONING, ON INDEX CREATE
If the first partition succeeded in adding a index, but a successive partition failed,
then the first partition had still the new index.
The fix reverts the added indexes from previous partitions on failure.
Added a second internal variable $mysql_errname
This is set the same way as $mysql_errno
Can be used like "if ($mysql_errname == ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE)...."
CRASHES SERVER
Flushing of MERGE table or one of its child tables, which was
locked by flushing thread using LOCK TABLES, might have caused
crashes or assertion failures if the thread failed to reopen
child or parent table.
Particularly, this might have happened when another connection
killed this FLUSH TABLE statement/connection.
Also this problem might have occurred when we failed to reopen
MERGE table or one of its children when executing DDL statement
under LOCK TABLES.
The problem was caused by the fact that reopen_tables() might
have failed to reopen child table but still tried to reopen,
reattach children for and re-lock its parent. Vice versa it
might have failed to reopen parent but kept references from
children to parent around. Since reopen_tables() closes table
it has failed to reopen and therefore frees all associated
memory such dangling references led to crashes when followed.
This patch solves this problem by ensuring that we always close
parent table and all its children if we fail to reopen this
table or one of its children. Same happens if we fail to reattach
children to parent.
Affects 5.1 only.
to mysql-5.5.16-release.

# Fix for bug #12828477 - "MDL SUBSYSTEM CREATES BIG OVERHEAD
# FOR CERTAIN QUERIES TO INFORMATION_SCHEMA".
#
# The problem was that metadata locking subsystem introduced
# too much overhead for queries to I_S which were processed by
# opening only .FRM or .TRG files and had to scanned a lot of
# tables (e.g. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM I_S.TRIGGERS was affected).
# The same effect was not observed for similar queries which
# performed full-blown table open in order to fill I_S table.
#
# The problem stemmed from the fact that in case when I_S
# implementation opened only .FRM or .TRG file for each table
# processed it didn't release metadata lock it has acquired on
# the table after finishing its processing. As result, list
# of acquired metadata locks were growing until the end of
# statement. Since acquisition of each new lock required
# search in the list of already acquired locks performance
# degraded.
#
# The same effect is not observed when I_S implementation

SET STATEMENT.
Server built with debug asserts, without debug crashes if a user tries
to run a stored procedure that constains query with subquery that include
either LIMIT or LIMIT OFFSET clauses.
The problem was that Item::fix_fields() was not called for the items
representing LIMIT or OFFSET clauses.
The solution is to call Item::fix_fields() right before evaluation in
st_select_lex_unit::set_limit().
PAM AUTHENTICATION SETTINGS
SET PASSWORD code on a account with plugin authentication was errorneously
resetting the in-memory plugin pointer for the user back to native password
plugin despite the fact that it was sending a warning that the command has
no immediate effect.
Fixed by not updating the user's plugin if it's already set to a non default value.
Note that the bug affected only the in-memory cache of the user definitions.
Any restart of the server will fix the problem.
Also the salt and the password has are still stored into the user tables (just as
it's documented now).
Test case added.
One old test case result updated to have the correct value.
FOR CERTAIN QUERIES TO INFORMATION_SCHEMA".
The problem was that metadata locking subsystem introduced
too much overhead for queries to I_S which were processed by
opening only .FRM or .TRG files and had to scanned a lot of
tables (e.g. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM I_S.TRIGGERS was affected).
The same effect was not observed for similar queries which
performed full-blown table open in order to fill I_S table.

The same effect is not observed when I_S implementation
performs full-blown table open for each table being
processed, as in the latter cases metadata lock on the
table is released right after table processing.
This fix addressed the problem by ensuring that I_S
implementation releases metadata lock after processing
the table in both cases of full-blown table open and in
case when only .FRM or .TRG file is read.
This patch corrects a problem found in PB. Some platforms have very
different locations for the mysql installation. The client was not
able to find either my_print_defaults or mysqld predictably.
The patch adds two new command options --mysqld and --my-print-defaults
which can be used to provide the location of mysqld and
my_print_defaults by providing the paths.
The patch also changes the concatenation of the soname extension to
fix a problem found on some Ubuntu systems.
The patch contains changes to the test to ensure it will run on all
platforms. A trap is set in the test to skip testing if the location
of mysqld, my_print_defaults, or the daemon_example.ini files cannot
be determined.
There is an optimization of DISTINCT in JOIN::optimize()
which depends on THD::used_tables value. Each SELECT statement
inside SP resets used_tables value(see mysql_select()) and it
leads to wrong result. The fix is to replace THD::used_tables
with LEX::used_tables.
The problem is that TIME_FUZZY_DATE is explicitly used for get_arg0_date()
function in Item_date_typecast::get_date method. The fix is to use real
fuzzy_date value.
WITH UTF32
The 5.5 version of the UTF32 collation was not enforcing the BMP range that
it currently supports when comparing with LIKE.
Fixed by backporting the checks for the BMP from trunk.
Added a named constant for the maximum character that can have a weight
in the weight table.
SHOW ALL PROBLEMS FOR MERGE TABLE COMPLIANCE IN 5.1".
The problem was that CHECK/REPAIR TABLE for a MERGE table which
had several children missing or in wrong engine reported only
issue with the first such table in its result-set. While in 5.0
this statement returned the whole list of problematic tables.
Ability to report problems for all children was lost during
significant refactorings of MERGE code which were done as part
of work on 5.1 and 5.5 releases.
This patch restores status quo ante refactorings by changing
code in such a way that:
1) Failure to open child table due to its absence during CHECK/
REPAIR TABLE for a MERGE table is not reported immediately
when its absence is discovered in open_tables(). Instead
handling/error reporting in such a situation is postponed
until the moment when children are attached.
2) Code performing attaching of children no longer stops when
it encounters first problem with one of the children during
CHECK/REPAIR TABLE. Instead it continues iteration through
the child list until all problems caused by child absence/
wrong engine are reported.
Note that even after this change problem with mismatch of
child/parent definition won't be reported if there is also
another child missing, but this is how it was in 5.0 as well.
Patch fixes an issue with reading basedir on Windows. It fixes how
the code interprets opt_basedir on Windows by adding the correct
path separators and quotes for paths with spaces.
BUG#12664302 : mysql_plugin cannot recognize the plugin config file
Patch fixes an issue with reading a plugin config file. It adds
more information to the error messages to ensure the user is
using the options correctly. Also deals with paths with spacs on
Windows.
This patch changes the plugin configuration file format to make it
easier to add new plugins and remove complexity. It also adds more
information when plugin configuration file reads fail.
This patch adds a new client utility that enables or disables plugin
features. The utility disables or enables a plugin using values (name,
soname, and symbols) provided via a configuration file by the same name.
For example, to ENABLE the daemon_example plugin, the utility will read
the daemon_example.ini configuration file and use the values contained to
enable or disable the plugin.
Turns out the DBUG_ASSERT added by fix for Bug#11792200 was overly pessimistic:
'stop0' is used in the main loop of do_div_mod, but we only dereference 'buf0'
for div operations, not for mod.
non-latin1 server error message
The problem was a one byte buffer overflow in the conversion
of a error message between character sets. Ahead of explaining
the problem further, some background information. Before an
error message is sent to the user, the message is converted
to the character set specified in the character_set_results
variable. For various reasons, this conversion might cause
the message to increase in length -- for example, if certain
characters can't be represented in the result character set.
If the final message length is greater than the maximum allowed
length of a error message (MYSQL_ERRMSG_SIZE), the message
is truncated. The message is also always null-terminated
regardless of the character set. The problem arises from this
null-termination. If a message length reached the maximum,
the terminating null character would be placed one byte past
the end of the message buffer.
The solution is to reserve the end of the message buffer for
the null character.
When CREATE TABLE wasn't given ENGINE=... it would determine
the default ENGINE at parse-time rather than at execution
time, leading to incorrect behaviour (namely, later changes
to the default engine being ignore) when calling CREATE TABLE
from a stored procedure.
We now defer working out the default engine till execution of
CREATE TABLE.
We must allocate a larger ref_pointer_array. We failed to account for extra
items allocated here:
#0 find_order_in_list
uint el= all_fields.elements;
all_fields.push_front(order_item); /* Add new field to field list. */
ref_pointer_array[el]= order_item;
order->item= ref_pointer_array + el;
#1 setup_order
#2 setup_without_group
#3 JOIN::prepare
OLD VALUE OF INPUT PARAMETER.
The user-visible problem was that CASE-control-flow function
(not CASE-statement) misbehaved in stored routines under some
circumstances. The problem resulted in a crash or wrong data
returned. The error happened when expressions in CASE-function
were not of the same character set.
A CASE-function should return values of the same character set
for all branches. Internally, that means a new Item-instance
for the CONVERT(... USING <some charset>)-function is added
to the item tree when needed. The problem was that such changes
were not properly recorded using THD::change_item_tree(),
thus dangling pointers remain in the item tree after
THD::rollback_item_tree_changes(), which lead to undefined
behavior (i.e. crash / wrong data) for subsequent executions of
the stored routine.
This bug was introduced by a patch for Bug 11753363
(44793 - CHARACTER SETS: CASE CLAUSE, UCS2 OR UTF32, FAILURE).
The fixed function is Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec().
New CONVERT-items are added in agg_item_set_converter(),
which calls THD::change_item_tree().
The problem was that an intermediate array was passed
to agg_item_set_converter(). Thus, THD::change_item_tree() there
was called on intermediate objects.
Note: those intermediate objects are allocated on THD's
memory root, so it's Ok to put them into "changed item lists".
The fix is to track changes on the correct objects.
