  • Solaris fixes: - Fixed that wait_timeout_func and wait_timeout tests works on solaris - We have to compile without NO_ALARM on Solaris as Solaris doesn't support timeouts on sockets with setsockopt(.. SO_RCVTIMEO). - Fixed that compile-solaris-amd64-debug works (before that we got a wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 on linkage) - Fixed some compiler warnings - Fixed some failing tests

  • MBRContains, MBRWithin no longer work with geometries of different type. get_mm_leaf function can store all sorts of spatial features in one type of field it receives from an Item_field. So we just allow that by setting the type of this field to GEOMETRY.

  • Merge 5.3->5.5

  • Fri 2013-05-03 22:46:45 -0700

    • Fixed bug . When iterating over a list of conditions using List_iterator the function remove_eq_conds should skip all predicates that replace a condition from the list. Otherwise it can come to an infinite recursion.

• Sat 2013-05-04 20:42:43 +0400

  • : Valgrind warnings 'Invalid read' in subselect_engine::calc_const_tables with ... - Call tmp_having->update_used_tables() before we have call JOIN::cleanup(). Making the call after join::cleanup() is not allowed, because subquery predicate items walk parent join's JOIN_TAB structures. Which can be invalidated by JOIN::cleanup().

• Fri 2013-05-03 00:10:43 +0400

  • : Reproducible crash (mysqld got signal 11) in multi_delete::initialize_tables... - make multi_delete::initialize_tables() take into account that the JOIN structure may have semi-join nests (which are not fully initialized when this function is called, they have tab->table=NULL which caused the crash) - Also checked multi_update::initialize_tables(): it has a different logic and needed no fixing.

• Tue 2013-04-30 00:29:47 +0200

  • - Windows installer does not launch upgrade wizard anymore, even if there are upgradable instances (i.e windows service of lower MariaDB/MySQL version)

  • fix test on Windows

• Sat 2013-04-27 23:28:48 -0700

  • Fixed bug . The function make_join_statistics checks whether eq_ref access uses only constant expressions, and, if this is the case the function performs constant row substitution. The code of this check must take into account hidden components of extended secondary keys.

• Thu 2013-04-25 15:11:59 +0200

  • Fix build on Windows

• Thu 2013-04-25 13:16:35 +0200

• Fri 2013-04-19 12:08:55 +0200

• Thu 2013-04-18 22:17:29 +0200

  • Increase username length from 16 characters

• Wed 2013-04-17 19:42:34 +0200

    • : using more memory than MySQL 5.1 for an inefficient query - Let index_merge allocate table handlers on quick select's MEM_ROOT, not on statement's MEM_ROOT. This is crucial for big "range checked for each record" queries, where index_merge can be created and deleted many times during query exection. We should not make O(#rows) allocations on statement's MEM_ROOT.

  • Wed 2013-03-27 19:17:32 -0700

    • Fixed bug (bug #68749). This bug was introduced by the patch for . If the memory allocated for the tree to store unique elements to be counted is not big enough to include all of them then an external file is used to store the elements. The unique elements are guaranteed not to be nulls. So, when reading them from the file we don't have to care about the null flags of the read values. However, we should remove the flag at the very beginning of the process. If we don't do it and if the last value written into the record buffer for the field whose distinct values needs to be counted happens to be null, then all values read from the file are considered to be nulls and are not counted in. The fix does not remove a possible null flag for the read values. Rather it just counts the values in the same way it was done before WL #3220.
