  - Merge 5.2->5.3
  - Revision #2502.528.44 Fri 2012-05-11 09:35:46 +0300
    fix for Bug #994392
    The not_null_tables() of Item_func_not_all and Item_in_optimizer was inherited from Item_func by mistake. It made the optimizer think that subquery predicates with ALL/ANY/IN were null-rejecting. This could trigger invalid conversions of outer joins into inner joins.
  - Revision #2502.528.43 Thu 2012-05-10 09:00:21 +0300
    Fixed typo
  - Revision #2502.528.42 Tue 2012-05-08 12:38:22 +0200
    MDEV-262 : log_state occationally fails in buildbot.
    The failures are missing entries in the slow query log. The reason for the failure are sleep() calls with short duration 10ms, which is less than the default system timer resolution for various WaitForXXXObject functions (15.6 ms) and thus can't work reliably.
    The fix is to make sleeps tiny bit longer (20ms from 10ms) in the test.
  - Revision #2502.528.41 Tue 2012-05-08 00:26:41 +0200
    fixes Bug #994156
    MDEV-261 : mysqtest crashes when assigning variable to result of select , like let x = SELECT <something>
    The fix is to detect the condition "no active connection", to report error and die.
    Note, that the check for no active connection was already in place for ordinary commands, and was missing only for assign-variable command.
  - Revision #2502.528.40 Mon 2012-05-07 13:26:34 +0300
    Fix for Bug #993726
    Optimization of aggregate functions detected constant under max() and evalueted it, but condition in the WHWRE clause (which is always FALSE) was not taken into account
  - Revision #2502.528.39 Mon 2012-05-07 11:02:58 +0300
    Fix for Bug #992405
    The patch backports two patches from mysql 5.6:
    BUG#12640437: USING SQL_BUFFER_RESULT RESULTS IN A DIFFERENT QUERY OUTPUT
    Bug#12578908: SELECT SQL_BUFFER_RESULT OUTPUTS TOO MANY ROWS WHEN GROUP IS OPTIMIZED AWAY
    Original comment:
    3714 Jorgen Loland 2012-03-01
    BUG#12640437 - USING SQL_BUFFER_RESULT RESULTS IN A DIFFERENT QUERY OUTPUT
    For all but simple grouped queries, temporary tables are used to resolve grouping. In these cases, the list of grouping fields is stored in the temporary table and grouping is resolved there (e.g. by adding a unique constraint on the involved fields). Because of this, grouping is already done when the rows are read from the temporary table.
    In the case where a group clause may be optimized away, grouping does not have to be resolved using a temporary table. However, if a temporary table is explicitly requested (e.g. because the SQL_BUFFER_RESULT hint is used, or the statement is INSERT...SELECT), a temporary table is used anyway. In this case, the temporary table is created with an empty group list (because the group clause was optimized away) and it will therefore not create groups. Since the temporary table does not take care of grouping, JOIN::group shall not be set to false in make_simple_join(). This was fixed in bug 12578908.
    However, there is an exception where make_simple_join() should set JOIN::group to false even if the query uses a temporary table that was explicitly requested but is not strictly needed. That exception is if the loose index scan access method (explain says "Using index for group-by") is used to read into the temporary table. With loose index scan, grouping is resolved by the access method. This is exactly what happens in this bug.
  - Revision #2502.528.38 Thu 2012-05-03 14:49:52 +0300
    Fix Bug #993745
    This is a backport of the fix for MySQL bug #13723054 in 5.6.
    Original comment:
    The crash is caused by arbitrary memory area owerwriting in case of BLOB fields during attempt to copy BLOB field key image into record buffer(record buffer is too small to get BLOB key part image). note:
    QUICK_GROUP_MIN_MAX_SELECT can not work with BLOB fields because it uses record buffer as temporary buffer for key values however this case is filtered out by covering_keys() check in get_best_group_min_max() as BLOBs always require key length modificator in the key declaration and if the key has a BLOB then it can not be covered key. The fix is to use 'max_used_key_length' key length instead of 0.
    Analysis:
    Spcifically the crash in this bug was a result of the call to key_copy() that copied the whole key, inlcuding the BLOB field which is not used for index access. Copying the blob field overwrote memory as far as the function parameter 'key_info'. As a result the contents of key_info was all 0, which resulted in a crash when this key_info was accessed few lines below in key_cmp().

- Revision #2502.546.57 Mon 2012-05-07 21:14:37 +0300
  - Bug #994275 fix.
  - In 5.3 we substitute constants in ref access values it can't be null so we do not need add NOT NULL for early NULL filtering.

- Fixed Bug #999251: Q13 from DBT3 uses table scan instead of covering index scan.
- The optimizer chose a less efficient execution plan due to the following defects of the code:
  1. the generic handler function handler::keyread_time did not take into account that in clustered primary keys record data is included into each index entry
  2. the function make_join_readinfo erroneously decided that index only scan could not be used if join cache was empoyed.
- Added no additional test case.
- Adjusted some of the test results.

    Revision #2502.528.36 Wed 2012-05-02 18:11:02 +0200
    MDEV-214 Bug #967242 Wrong result with JOIN, AND in ON condition, multi-part key, GROUP BY, subquery and OR in WHERE
    The problem was in the code (update_const_equal_items()) which marked index parts constant independently of the place where the equality was used.
    In the test suite it marked t2_1.c part constant despite the fact that it connected by OR with other expression.
    Solution is to mark constant only top equalities connected with AND.

    Bug #977021 ST_BUFFER fails with the negative D.
    Points and lines should disappear if we got negative D.
    To make it work properly inside the GEOMETRYCOLLECTION, we add the empty operation there.
    Bug #986977 Assertion `!cur_p->event' failed in Gcalc_scan_iterator::arrange_event(int, int).
    The double->inernal coord conversion produced -0 (minus zero) on some data.
    That minus-zero produces invalid comparison results when compared agains plus-zero.
    So we fixed the gcalc_set_double() to avoid it.

  - Revision #2502.546.48 Fri 2012-04-27 12:59:17 +0300
    Fix Bug #985667, MDEV-229
    Analysis:
    The reason for the wrong result is the interaction between constant optimization (in this case 1-row table) and subquery optimization.
    First the outer query is optimized, and 'make_join_statistics' finds that table t2 has one row, reads that row, and marks the whole table as constant. This also means that all fields of t2 are constant.
    Next, we optimize the subquery in the end of the outer 'make_join_statistics'. The field 'f2' is considered constant, with value '3'. The subquery predicate is rewritten as the constant TRUE.
    The outer query execution detects early that the whole query result is empty and calls 'return_zero_rows'. Since the query is with implicit grouping, we have to produce one row with special values for the aggregates (depending on each aggregate function), and NULL values for all non-aggregate fields. This function calls 'no_rows_in_result' to set each aggregate function to the default value when it aggregates over an empty result, and then calls 'send_data', which in turn evaluates each Item in the SELECT list.
    When evaluation reaches the subquery predicate, it executes the subquery with field 'f2' having a constant value '3', and the subquery produces the incorrect result '7'.
    Solution:
    Implement Item::no_rows_in_result for all subquery predicates. In order to make this work, it is also needed to make all val_* methods of all subquery predicates respect the Item_subselect::forced_const flag. Otherwise subqueries are executed anyways, and override the default value set by no_rows_in_result with whatever result is produced from the subquery evaluation.

    Revision #2502.557.1 Fri 2012-04-20 21:09:16 +0200
    Bug #983285 - incompatibility in frm in case of VIEWs with non-default ALGORITHM option.
    As part of derived tables redesign, values for VIEW_ALGORITHM_MERGE and VIEW_ALGORITHM_TMPTABLE have changed from (former values 1 rsp 2 , new values 5 rsp 9).
    This lead to the problem that views, created with version 5.2 or earlier would not work in all situations (e.g "SHOW CREATE VIEW"), or with mysqldump.
    The fix is to restore backward compatibility for the from file, and convert algorithm={1,2} in the frm to {5,9} when reading .frm from disk, and store backward compatible values when writing from to disk.
    Also allow processing correct processing for "invalid" .frms created with MariaDB 5.3/5.5 GA releases (where algorithm stored in memory matched the one stored in frm).

Revision #3391 Thu 2012-05-03 02:47:06 +0200
- fixes Bug #992983
- MDEV-246 - Aborted_clients incremented during ordinary connection close
- The problem was increment of aborted_threads variable due to thd->killed which was set when threadpool connection was terminated . The fix is not to set thd->killed anymore, there is no real reason for doing it..
- Added a test that checks that status variable aborted_clients does not grow for ordinary disconnects, and that successful KILL increments this variable.
Revision #3390 Thu 2012-04-19 17:00:13 +0300
- Dependency of tests from ulong size removed.
Revision #3389 Sun 2012-04-29 17:18:38 +0500
- Bug #977021 ST_BUFFER fails with the negative D.
  - Points and lines should disappear if we got negative D.
  - To make it work properly inside the GEOMETRYCOLLECTION, we add the empty operation there.
- Bug #986977 Assertion `!cur_p->event' failed in Gcalc_scan_iterator::arrange_event(int, int).
  - The double->inernal coord conversion produced -0 (minus zero) on some data.
  - That minus-zero produces invalid comparison results when compared agains plus-zero.
  - So we fixed the gcalc_set_double() to avoid it.
- per-file comments:
  - mysql-test/r/gis-precise.result
    result updated.
  - mysql-test/t/gis-precise.test
    tests for Bug #977021 and Bug #986977 added.
  - sql/gcalc_slicescan.cc
    Bug #986977. The gcalc_set_double fixed to not produce minus-zero.

    fixes Bug #983047
    MDEV-221 - Properly escape command line when starting mysql_install_db since password characters can contain quotes or spaces.
    The proper quoting method for command line arguments used here was extracted fromeveryone-quotes-arguments-the-wrong-way.aspx
    Additionally, mysql_install_db.exe now passes root password to "mysqld.exe --bootstrap" in hexadecimal form, to handle potential special chars inside password string literal.
- Revision #2502.546.40 Sat 2012-04-07 17:27:00 -0700
  - Fixed Bug #972943 properly.
