It appears that the code refactoring done as part of the
patch for the MySQL BUG#11749859 fixed this issue. This
issue is not reproducible on MySQL 5.5+ versions now.
As part of this patch, the test file "mysqldump.test" has
been updated to remove the comment which was referring to
the bug and also the line which suppresses the warning.
MULTIPLE THREADS
Description:- The utility "mysqlimport" does not use
multiple threads for the execution with option
"--use-threads". "mysqlimport" while importing multiple
files and multiple tables, uses a single thread even if the
number of threads are specified with "--use-threads" option.
Analysis:- This utility uses ifdef HAVE_LIBPTHREAD to check
for libpthread library and if defined uses libpthread
library for mutlithreaing. Since HAVE_LIBPTHREAD is not
defined anywhere in the source, "--use-threads" option is
silently ignored.
Fix:- "-DTHREADS" is set to the COMPILE_FLAGS which will
enable pthreads. HAVE_LIBPTHREAD macro is removed.
CAUSES RESTORE PROBLEM
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.
routines.
mysqldump in xml mode did not dump routines, events or
triggers.
This patch fixes this issue by fixing the if conditions
that disallowed the dump of above mentioned objects in
xml mode, and added the required code to enable dump
in xml format.
--FLUSH-LOG BREAKS CONSISTENCY
The transaction started by mysqldump gets committed
implicitly when flush-log is specified along with
single-transaction option, and hence can break
consistency.
This is because, COM_REFRESH is executed in order
to flush logs and starting from 5.5 this command
performs an implicit commit.
Fixed by making sure that COM_REFRESH is executed
before the transaction has started and not after it.
Note : This patch triggers following behavioral
changes in mysqldump :
1) After this patch we no longer flush logs before
dumping each database if --single-transaction
option is given like it was done before (in the
absence of --lock-all-tables and --master-data
options).
2) Also, after this patch, we start acquiring
FTWRL before flushing logs in cases when only
--single-transaction and --flush-logs are given.
It becomes safe to use mysqldump with these two
options and without --master-data parameter for
backups.
("-") IN DATABASE NAMES IN ALTER DATABASE.
mysqldump did not quote database name in 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements in its output. This can further cause a failure
while loading if database name contains a hyphen '-'.
This happened as, while printing the 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements, the database name was not quoted.
Fixed by quoting the database name.
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.
Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c.
When mysqldump tries to dump information in xml format,
the result does not contain field level comments.
In order to retrieve various informations for a field/column,
mysqldump currently uses 'show fields from <tab>' statement.
The attributes returned by the statement lacks the information
regarding field comments.
Fixed by changing the query to one that probes I_S to retrieve
required field informations, including the field comment.
Problem: The test case mysqldump reads a file that must
be world-readable. The test did not force the file to be
world-readable, so if the tree was branched with a umask
of 0077, the test would fail.
Fix: chmod the file.

truncates text/blob to 766 chars
mysqldump and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE truncated long BLOB/TEXT
values to size of 766 bytes (MAX_FIELD_WIDTH or 255 * 3 + 1).
The select_export::send_data method has been modified to
reallocate a conversion buffer for long field data.
Clarified error messages related to unsafe statements:
- avoid the internal technical term "row injection"
- use 'binary log' instead of 'binlog'
- avoid the word 'unsafeness'
- backported code that handles %f/%g arguments in
my_vsnprintf.c from 6.0
- backported %f/%g tests in unittest/mysys/my_vsnprintf-t.c
from 6.0
- replaced snprintf("%g") in sql/set_var.cc with my_gcvt()
- removed unnecessary "--replace-result"s for Windows in
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/long_query_time_basic.test
- some test results adjustments
to string conversions and vice versa"
Initial import of the dtoa.c code and custom wrappers around it
to allow its usage from the server code.
Conversion of FLOAT/DOUBLE values to DECIMAL ones or strings
and vice versa has been significantly reworked. As the new
algoritms are more precise than the older ones, results of such
conversions may not always match those obtained from older
server versions. This in turn may break compatibility for some
applications.
This patch also fixes the following bugs:
- bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of exponent between
Unix and Windows"
- bug #21497 "DOUBLE truncated to unusable value"
- bug #26788 "mysqld (debug) aborts when inserting specific
numbers into char fields"
- bug #24541 "Data truncated..." on decimal type columns
without any good reason"

1) New syntax: added CHARACTER SET clause to the
SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE (to complement the same clause in
LOAD DATA INFILE).
mysqldump is updated to use this in --tab mode.
2) ESCAPED BY/ENCLOSED BY field parameters are documented as
accepting CHAR argument, however SELECT .. INTO OUTFILE
silently ignored rests of multisymbol arguments.
For the symmetrical behavior with LOAD DATA INFILE the
server has been modified to fail with the same error:
ERROR 42000: Field separator argument is not what is
expected; check the manual
3) Current LOAD DATA INFILE recognizes field/line separators
"as is" without converting from client charset to data
file charset. So, it is supposed, that input file of
LOAD DATA INFILE consists of data in one charset and
separators in other charset. For the compatibility with
that [buggy] behaviour SELECT INTO OUTFILE implementation
has been saved "as is" too, but the new warning message
has been added:
Non-ASCII separator arguments are not fully supported
This message warns on field/line separators that contain
non-ASCII symbols.
mysqldump --tab still dumped triggers to stdout rather than to
individual tables.
We now append triggers to the .sql file for the corresponding
table.
--events and --routines correspond to a database rather than a
table and will still go to stdout with --tab unless redirected
with --result-file (-r).
Created new .test file - mysqldump_restore that does test restore from mysqldump
output for a limited number of basic cases.
Create new .inc file - mysqldump.inc - renames original table and uses mysqldump
output to recreate the table, then uses diff_tables.inc to compare the two tables.
Backported include/diff_tables.inc to facilitate this testing.
New patch incorporating review feedback prior to push.
mysqldump.test - removed redundant call to include/have_log_bin.inc (was used twice in the test!)
mysqldump.test is designed to run with concurrent inserts
disabled. It is disabling concurrent inserts at the very
beginning of the test case, and re-enables them at the
bottom of the test. But for some reason (likely incorrect
merge) we enable concurrent inserts in the middle of the test.
The problem is fixed by enabling concurrent inserts only
at the bottom of the test case.
--ignore-table option
mysqldump would correctly omit temporary tables for views, but would
incorrectly still emit all CREATE VIEW statements.
Backport a fix from 5.1, where we capture the names we want to emit
views for in one pass (the placeholder tables) and in the pass where
we actually emit the views, we don't emit a view if it wasn't in that
list.
mysqldump included character_set_client magic
that is unknown before 4.1 even when asked for
an appropriate compatibility mode.
In compatibility (3.23, 4.0) mode, we do not
output charset statements (not even in a
"comment conditional"), nor do we do magic on
the server, even if the server is sufficient
new (4.1+). Table-names will be output converted
to the charset requested by mysqldump; if such
a conversion is not possible (Ivrit -> Latin),
mysqldump will fail.
