when replicating
The function create_virtual_tmp_table does not
set db_low_byte_first in the same way as
create_tmp_table does, causing copying from
the virtual table to a real table to get strange
values for SET types on big-endian machines.
The bug is caused by a race condition between the
INSERT DELAYED thread and the client thread's FLUSH TABLE. The
FLUSH TABLE does not guarantee (as is (wrongly) suggested in the
test case) that the INSERT DELAYED is ever executed. The
execution of the test case will thus not be deterministic.
The fix has been to do a deterministic verification that both
threads are complete by checking the content of the table.
This test case tests a circular replication of four hosts.
A--->B--->C--->D--->A
The replicate is slow and needs more time to replicate all data in the circle.
The time it spends to replicate, sometimes, is longer than the time that
wait_condition.inc spends to wait that all data has been replicated. This
cause sporadical failure of this test case.
This patch uses sync_slave_with_master to ensure that all data can be replicated
successfully in the circle.
for InnoDB
The class Field_bit_as_char stores the metadata for the
field incorrecly because bytes_in_rec and bit_len are set
to (field_length + 7 ) / 8 and 0 respectively, while
Field_bit has the correct values field_length / 8 and
field_length % 8.
Solved the problem by re-computing the values for the
metadata based on the field_length instead of using the
bytes_in_rec and bit_len variables.
To handle compatibility with old server, a table map
flag was added to indicate that the bit computation is
exact. If the flag is clear, the slave computes the
number of bytes required to store the bit field and
compares that instead, effectively allowing replication
*without conversion* from any field length that require
the same number of bytes to store.
'LOAD DATA CONCURRENT [LOCAL] INFILE ...' statment only is binlogged as
'LOAD DATA [LOCAL] INFILE ...' in SBR and MBR. As a result, if replication is on,
queries on slaves will be blocked by the replication SQL thread.
This patch write code to write 'CONCURRENT' into the log event if 'CONCURRENT' option
is in the original statement in SBR and MBR.
Problem: The test was written before BUG#45827 was fixed.
The test contained code that assumed the wrong behavior,
pre-BUG#45827. Then, the fix for BUG#45827 was merged
from 5.1-rep+2 to 5.1-rep+3. Since the test case assumed
the wrong behavior, it failed. This should have been fixed
by making the test assume the correct behavior, but was
fixed by updating the result file to assert failure.
Fix 1: fix the test to assume correct behavior
(post-BUG#45827), update result file.
Fix 2: make test fail with 'die' instead of 'exit' when
wrong behavior is detected. Thus, the test cannot be
silenced with a wrong result file in case the behavior
will change again.
Row-based replication requires the types of columns on the
master and slave to be approximately the same (some safe
conversions between strings are allowed), but does not
allow safe conversions between fields of similar types such
as TINYINT and INT.
This patch implement type conversions between similar fields
on the master and slave.
The conversions are controlled using a new variable
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS of type SET('ALL_LOSSY','ALL_NON_LOSSY').
Non-lossy conversions are any conversions that do not run the
risk of losing any information, while lossy conversions can
potentially truncate the value. The column definitions are
checked to decide if the conversion is acceptable.
If neither conversion is enabled, it is required that the
definitions of the columns are identical on master and slave.
Conversion is done by creating an internal conversion table,
unpacking the master data into it, and then copy the data to
the real table on the slave.
This fix changes the character set used within the
IBMDB2I handler to hash table names to information
about open tables. Previously, tables with names
that differed only in letter case would hash to the
same data structure. This caused incorrect behavior
or errors when two such tables were in use simultaneously.
