Due to an internal change in the server code in between 5.1 and 5.5
(wl#2649) the hash function used in KEY partitioning changed
for numeric and date/time columns (from binary hash calculation
to character based hash calculation).
Also enum/set changed from latin1 ci based hash calculation to
binary hash between 5.1 and 5.5. (bug#11759782).
These changes makes KEY [sub]partitioned tables on any of
the affected column types incompatible with 5.5 and above,
since the calculation of partition id differs.
Also since InnoDB asserts that a deleted row was previously
read (positioned), the server asserts on delete of a row that
is in the wrong partition.
The solution for this situation is:
1) The partitioning engine will check that delete/update will go to the
partition the row was read from and give an error otherwise, consisting
of the rows partitioning fields. This will avoid asserts in InnoDB and
also alert the user that there is a misplaced row. A detailed error
message will be given, including an entry to the error log consisting
of both table name, partition and row content (PK if exists, otherwise
all partitioning columns).
2) A new optional syntax for KEY () partitioning in 5.5 is allowed:
[SUB]PARTITION BY KEY [ALGORITHM = N] (list_of_cols)
Where N = 1 uses the same hashing as 5.1 (Numeric/date/time fields uses
binary hashing, ENUM/SET uses charset hashing) N = 2 uses the same
hashing as 5.5 (Numeric/date/time fields uses charset hashing,
ENUM/SET uses binary hashing). If not set on CREATE/ALTER it will
default to 2.
This new syntax should probably be ignored by NDB.
3) Since there is a demand for avoiding scanning through the full
table, during upgrade the ALTER TABLE t PARTITION BY ... command is
considered a no-op (only .frm change) if everything except ALGORITHM
is the same and ALGORITHM was not set before, which allows manually
upgrading such table by something like:
ALTER TABLE t PARTITION BY KEY ALGORITHM = 1 () or
ALTER TABLE t PARTITION BY KEY ALGORITHM = 2 ()
4) Enhanced partitioning with CHECK/REPAIR to also check for/repair
misplaced rows. (Also works for ALTER TABLE t CHECK/REPAIR PARTITION)
CHECK FOR UPGRADE:
If the .frm version is < 5.5.3
and uses KEY [sub]partitioning
and an affected column type
then it will fail with an message:
KEY () partitioning changed, please run:
ALTER TABLE `test`.`t1` PARTITION BY KEY ALGORITHM = 1 (a)
PARTITIONS 12
(i.e. current partitioning clause, with the addition of
ALGORITHM = 1)
CHECK without FOR UPGRADE:
if MEDIUM (default) or EXTENDED options are given:
Scan all rows and verify that it is in the correct partition.
Fail for the first misplaced row.
REPAIR:
if default or EXTENDED (i.e. not QUICK/USE_FRM):
Scan all rows and every misplaced row is moved into its correct
partitions.
5) Updated mysqlcheck (called by mysql_upgrade) to handle the
new output from CHECK FOR UPGRADE, to run the ALTER statement
instead of running REPAIR.
This will allow mysql_upgrade (or CHECK TABLE t FOR UPGRADE) to upgrade
a KEY [sub]partitioned table that has any affected field type
and a .frm version < 5.5.3 to ALGORITHM = 1 without rebuild.
Also notice that if the .frm has a version of >= 5.5.3 and ALGORITHM
is not set, it is not possible to know if it consists of rows from
5.1 or 5.5! In these cases I suggest that the user does:
(optional)
LOCK TABLE t WRITE;
SHOW CREATE TABLE t;
(verify that it has no ALGORITHM = N, and to be safe, I would suggest
backing up the .frm file, to be used if one need to change to another
ALGORITHM = N, without needing to rebuild/repair)
ALTER TABLE t <old partitioning clause, but with ALGORITHM = N>;
which should set the ALGORITHM to N (if the table has rows from
5.1 I would suggest N = 1, otherwise N = 2)
CHECK TABLE t;
(here one could use the backed up .frm instead and change to a new N
and run CHECK again and see if it passes)
and if there are misplaced rows:
REPAIR TABLE t;
(optional)
UNLOCK TABLES;
frac is the number of decimal digits after the point
For each multiplication in the expression, decimal_mul() does this:
to->frac= from1->frac + from2->frac; /* store size in digits */
which will eventually overflow.
The code for handling the overflow, will truncate the two digits in "1.75" to "1"
Solution:
Truncate to 31 significant fractional digits, when doing decimal multiplication.
HANDLE_FATAL_SIGNAL IN STRNLEN
Fixed the following bounds checking problems :
1. in check_if_legal_filename() make sure the null terminated
string is long enough before accessing the bytes in it.
Prevents pottential read-past-buffer-end
2. in my_wc_mb_filename() of the filename charset check
for the end of the destination buffer before sending single
byte characters into it.
Prevents write-past-end-of-buffer (and garbaling stack in
the cases reported here) errors.
Added test cases.
Bug#12985021 SIMPLE QUERY WITH DECIMAL NUMBERS TAKE AN
When parsing the fractional part of a string which
is to be converted to double, we can stop after a few digits:
the extra digits will not contribute to the actual result anyways.
Introducing new collations:
utf8_general_mysql500_ci and ucs2_general_mysql500_ci,
to reproduce behaviour of utf8_general_ci and ucs2_general_ci
from mysql-5.1.23 (and earlier).
The collations are added to simplify upgrade from mysql-5.1.23 and earlier.
Note: The patch does not make new server start over old data automatically.
Some manual upgrade procedures are assumed.
Paul: please get in touch with me to discuss upgrade procedures
when documenting this bug.

Buffer over-run on all platforms, crash on windows, wrong result on other platforms,
when rounding numbers which start with 999999999 and have
precision = 9 or 18 or 27 or 36 ...
Extra fix: 'if (p5 < p5_a + P5A_MAX)' is not portable.
p5 starts out pointing to a static array, then may point
to a buffer on the stack, then may point to malloc()ed 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.
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.
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.
This was a buffer overrun in do_div_mod(), overwriting the internal buffer
of auto variable 'tmp' in Item_func_int_div::val_int.
Result on windows: 'this' is set to zero, and crash.
Ran fine on other platforms (no valgrind warnings),
but this is undefined behaviour on any platform of course.
Problem: a byte behind the end of input string was read
in case of a broken XML not having a quote or doublequote
character closing a string value.
Fix: changing condition not to read behind the end of input string
@ mysql-test/r/xml.result
@ mysql-test/t/xml.test
Adding tests
@ strings/xml.c
When checking if the closing quote/doublequote was found,
using p->cur[0] us unsafe, as p->cur can point to the byte after the value.
Comparing p->cur to p->beg instead.
Problem: the scanner function tested for strings "<
