Bug #23667 "CREATE TABLE LIKE is not isolated from alteration by other connections" Bug #18950 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not obtain LOCK_open" As well as: Bug #25578 "CREATE TABLE LIKE does not require any privileges on source table". The first and the second bugs resulted in various errors and wrong binary log order when one tried to execute concurrently CREATE TABLE LIKE statement and DDL statements on source table or DML/DDL statements on its target table. The problem was caused by incomplete protection/table-locking against concurrent statements implemented in mysql_create_like_table() routine. We solve it by simply implementing such protection in proper way (see comment for sql_table.cc for details). The third bug allowed user who didn't have any privileges on table create its copy and therefore circumvent privilege check for SHOW CREATE TABLE. This patch solves this problem by adding privilege check, which was missing. Finally it also removes some duplicated code from mysql_create_like_table(). Note that, altough tests covering concurrency-related aspects of CREATE TABLE LIKE behaviour will only be introduced in 5.1, they were run manually for this patch as well.
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
