DATE and DATETIME can be compared either as strings or as int. Both
methods have their disadvantages. Strings can contain valid DATETIME value
but have insignificant zeros omitted thus became non-comparable with
other DATETIME strings. The comparison as int usually will require conversion
from the string representation and the automatic conversion in most cases is
carried out in a wrong way thus producing wrong comparison result. Another
problem occurs when one tries to compare DATE field with a DATETIME constant.
The constant is converted to DATE losing its precision i.e. losing time part.
This fix addresses the problems described above by adding a special
DATE/DATETIME comparator. The comparator correctly converts DATE/DATETIME
string values to int when it's necessary, adds zero time part (00:00:00)
to DATE values to compare them correctly to DATETIME values. Due to correct
conversion malformed DATETIME string values are correctly compared to other
DATE/DATETIME values.
As of this patch a DATE value equals to DATETIME value with zero time part.
For example '2001-01-01' equals to '2001-01-01 00:00:00'.
The compare_datetime() function is added to the Arg_comparator class.
It implements the correct comparator for DATE/DATETIME values.
Two supplementary functions called get_date_from_str() and get_datetime_value()
are added. The first one extracts DATE/DATETIME value from a string and the
second one retrieves the correct DATE/DATETIME value from an item.
The new Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates() function is added and used
to check whether two given items can be compared by the compare_datetime()
comparator.
Two caching variables were added to the Arg_comparator class to speedup the
DATE/DATETIME comparison.
One more store() method was added to the Item_cache_int class to cache int
values.
The new is_datetime() function was added to the Item class. It indicates
whether the item returns a DATE/DATETIME value.
Validity checks for nested set functions
were not taking into account that the enclosed
set function may be on a nest level that is
lower than the nest level of the enclosing set
function.
Fixed by :
- propagating max_sum_func_level
up the enclosing set functions chain.
- updating the max_sum_func_level of the
enclosing set function when the enclosed set
function is aggregated above or on the same
nest level of as the level of the enclosing
set function.
- updating the max_arg_level of the enclosing
set function on a reference that refers to
an item above or on the same nest level
as the level of the enclosing set function.
- Treating both Item_field and Item_ref as possibly
referencing items from outer nest levels.
INSERT into InnoDB table may cause "ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry..."
errors or lost records after multi-row INSERT of the form:
"INSERT INTO t (id...) VALUES (NULL...) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE id=VALUES(id)",
where "id" is an AUTO_INCREMENT column.
It happens because InnoDB handler forgets to save next insert id after
updating of auto_increment column with new values. As result of that
last insert id stored inside InnoDB dictionary tables differs from it's
cached thd->next_insert_id value.
When fields are inserted instead of * in the select list they were not marked
for check for the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode.
The Field_iterator_table::create_item() function now marks newly created
items for check when in the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode.
The setup_wild() and the insert_fields() functions now maintain the
cur_pos_in_select_list counter for the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode.
In multi_update::send_data(), the counter of matched rows was not correctly incremented, when during insertion of a new row to a temporay table it had to be converted from HEAP to MyISAM.
This fix changes the logic to increment the counter of matched rows in the following cases:
1. If the error returned from write_row() is zero.
2. If the error returned from write_row() is non-zero, is neither HA_ERR_FOUND_DUPP_KEY nor HA_ERR_FOUND_DUPP_UNIQUE, and a call to create_myisam_from_heap() succeeds.
FORCE_INIT_OF_VARS was not defined for the
debug builds on Windows. This caused LINT_INIT
macro to be defined as NOP and this triggers
false alarms about use of uninitialized with
the runtime libs of some Visual Studio versions.
Fixed by defining FORCE_INIT_OF_VARS to match the
state of the Windows
This bug was intruduced by the fix for bug#17212 (in 4.1). It is not
ok to call test_if_skip_sort_order since this function will
alter the execution plan. By contract it is not ok to call
test_if_skip_sort_order in this context.
This bug appears only in the case when the optimizer has chosen
an index for accessing a particular table but finds a covering
index that enables it to skip ORDER BY. This happens in
test_if_skip_sort_order.
