when the column is to be read from a derived table column which
was specified as a concatenation of string literals.
The bug happened because the Item_string::append did not adjust the
value of Item_string::max_length. As a result of it the temporary
table column defined to store the concatenation of literals was
not wide enough to hold the whole value.
after single-row table substitution could lead to a wrong result set.
The bug happened because the function Item_field::replace_equal_field
erroniously assumed that any field included in a multiple equality
with a constant has been already substituted for this constant.
This not true for fields becoming constant after row substitutions
for constant tables.
When the SUBSTRING() function was used over a LONGTEXT field the max_length of
the SUBSTRING() result was wrongly calculated and set to 0. As the max_length
parameter is used while tmp field creation it limits the length of the result
field and leads to printing an empty string instead of the correct result.
Now the Item_func_substr::fix_length_and_dec() function correctly calculates
the max_length parameter.
Cache".
WL#1569 "Prepared Statements: implement support of Query Cache".
Prepared SELECTs did not look up in the query cache, and their results
were not stored in the query cache. This made them slower than
non-prepared SELECTs in some cases.
The fix is to re-use the expanded query (the prepared query where
"?" placeholders are replaced by their values, at execution time)
for searching/storing in the query cache.
It works fine for statements prepared via mysql_stmt_prepare(), which
are the most commonly used and were the scope of this bugfix and WL.
It works less fine for statements prepared via the SQL command
PREPARE...FROM, which are still not using the query cache if they
have at least one parameter (because then the expanded query contains
names of user variables, and user variables don't work with the
query cache, even in non-prepared queries).
Note that results from prepared SELECTs, which are in the binary
protocol, and results from normal SELECTs, which are in the text
protocol, ignore each other in the query cache, because a result in the
binary protocol should never be served to a SELECT expecting the text
protocol and vice-versa.
Note, after this patch, bug 25843 starts applying to query cache
("changing default database between PREPARE and EXECUTE of statement
breaks binlog"), we need to fix it.
for bug#16425: Events: no DEFINER clause. The problem was that there
were two rules
ALTER view_algorithm_opt definer ... VIEW ...
ALTER definer EVENT ...
so when there was 'ALTER definer' in the input it was unclear if empty
view_algorithm_opt should be executed or not.
We solve this by introducing three distinct rules
ALTER view_algorithm definer ... VIEW ...
ALTER definer ... VIEW ...
ALTER definer EVENT ...
that remove the ambiguity.
The problem was that some facilities (like CONVERT_TZ() function or
server HELP statement) may require implicit access to some tables in
'mysql' database. This access was done by ordinary means of adding
such tables to the list of tables the query is going to open.
However, if we issued LOCK TABLES before that, we would get "table
was not locked" error trying to open such implicit tables.
The solution is to treat certain tables as MySQL system tables, like
we already do for mysql.proc. Such tables may be opened for reading
at any moment regardless of any locks in effect. The cost of this is
that system table may be locked for writing only together with other
system tables, it is disallowed to lock system tables for writing and
have any other lock on any other table.
After this patch the following tables are treated as MySQL system
tables:
mysql.help_category
mysql.help_keyword
mysql.help_relation
mysql.help_topic
mysql.proc (it already was)
mysql.time_zone
mysql.time_zone_leap_second
mysql.time_zone_name
mysql.time_zone_transition
mysql.time_zone_transition_type
These tables are now opened with open_system_tables_for_read() and
closed with close_system_tables(), or one table may be opened with
open_system_table_for_update() and closed with close_thread_tables()
(the latter is used for mysql.proc table, which is updated as part of
normal MySQL server operation). These functions may be used when
some tables were opened and locked already.
NOTE: online update of time zone tables is not possible during
replication, because there's no time zone cache flush neither on LOCK
TABLES, nor on FLUSH TABLES, so the master may serve stale time zone
data from cache, while on slave updated data will be loaded from the
time zone tables.
construct references invalid name.
Derived tables currently cannot use outer references.
Thus there is no outer context for them.
The 4.1 code takes this fact into account while the
Item_field::fix_outer_field code of 5.0 lost the check that blocks
any attempts to resolve names in outer context for derived tables.
