The problem was that if a query accessing a view was blocked due to conflicting locks on tables in the view definition, it would be possible for a different connection to alter the view definition before the view query completed. When the view query later resumed, it used the old view definition. This meant that if the view query was later repeated inside the same transaction, the two executions of the query would give different results, thus breaking repeatable read. (The first query used the old view definition, the second used the new view definition). This bug is no longer repeatable with the recent changes to the metadata locking subsystem (revno: 3040). The view query will no longer back-off and release the lock on the view definiton. Instead it will wait for the conflicting lock(s) to go away while keeping the view definition lock. This means that it is no longer possible for a concurrent connection to alter the view definition. Instead, any such attempt will be blocked. In the case from the bug report where the same view query was executed twice inside the same transaction, any ALTER VIEW from other connections will now be blocked until the transaction has completed (or aborted). The view queries will therefore use the same view definition and we will have repeatable read. Test case added to innodb_mysql_lock.test. This patch contains no code changes.
This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it. Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not conflict with it. All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the problem: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode, the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run. For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests with an external server: mysql-test-run --extern alias analyze To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and other relevant options. With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some tests cannot run with an external server. You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test extension. For example: xemacs t/test_case_name.test In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables, load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it. We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not conflict too much with existing tables). Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your test case, you should create the result file as follows: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail to bugs@lists.mysql.com
