This is a Monthly Rapid Update release of the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0.
This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.28).
Functionality added or changed:
MySQL Cluster:
The ndb_config utility now accepts
-c
as a short form of the
--ndb-connectstring
option.
(Bug#22295)
MySQL Cluster:
Added the --bind-address
option for
ndbd. This allows a data node process to be
bound to a specific network interface.
(Bug#22195)
MySQL Cluster:
The NDB
storage engine could leak
memory during file operations.
(Bug#21858)
MySQL Cluster:
The Ndb_number_of_storage_nodes
system
variable was renamed to
Ndb_number_of_data_nodes
.
(Bug#20848)
MySQL Cluster:
The HELP
command in the Cluster
management client now provides command-specific help. For
example, HELP RESTART
in
ndb_mgm provides detailed information about
the RESTART
command.
(Bug#19620)
If the user specified the server options
--max-connections=
or
N
--table-cache=
, a warning would be given in some cases that some
values were recalculated, with the result that
M
--table-cache
could be assigned
greater value.
In such cases, both the warning and the increase in the
--table-cache
value were
completely harmless. Note also that it is not possible for the
MySQL Server to predict or to control limitations on the maximum
number of open files, since this is determined by the operating
system.
The value of --table-cache
is no
longer increased automatically, and a warning is now given only
if some values had to be decreased due to operating system
limits.
(Bug#21915)
For the CALL
statement, stored
procedures that take no arguments now can be invoked without
parentheses. That is, CALL p()
and
CALL p
are equivalent.
(Bug#21462)
mysql_upgrade
now passes all the parameters
specified on the command line to both
mysqlcheck
and mysql
using
the upgrade_defaults
file.
(Bug#20100)
SHOW STATUS
is no longer logged
to the slow query log.
(Bug#19764)
mysqldump --single-transaction now uses
START TRANSACTION /*!40100 WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT
*/
rather than
BEGIN
to start
a transaction, so that a consistent snapshot will be used on
those servers that support it.
(Bug#19660)
Bugs fixed:
Performance:
InnoDB
exhibited thread thrashing with more
than 50 concurrent connections under an update-intensive
workload.
(Bug#22868)
Performance:
InnoDB
showed substandard performance with
multiple queries running concurrently.
(Bug#15815)
MySQL Cluster: Backup of a cluster failed if there were any tables with 128 or more columns. (Bug#23502)
MySQL Cluster: Cluster backups failed when there were more than 2048 schema objects in the cluster. (Bug#23499)
MySQL Cluster:
The management client command ALL DUMP 1000
would cause the cluster to crash if data nodes were connected to
the cluster but not yet fully started.
(Bug#23203)
MySQL Cluster:
INSERT ...
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
on an
NDB
table could lead to deadlocks
and memory leaks.
(Bug#23200)
MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Inacivity timeouts for scans were not correctly handled. (Bug#23107)
MySQL Cluster: If a node restart could not be performed from the REDO log, no node takeover took place. This could cause partitions to be left empty during a system restart. (Bug#22893)
MySQL Cluster: Multiple node restarts in rapid succession could cause a system restart to fail , or induce a race condition. (Bug#22892, Bug#23210)
MySQL Cluster:
(NDB API): Attempting to read a nonexistent tuple using
Commit
mode for
NdbTransaction::execute()
caused node
failures.
(Bug#22672)
MySQL Cluster:
The --help
output from
NDB
binaries did not include
file-related options.
(Bug#21994)
MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Scans closed before being executed were still placed in the send queue. (Bug#21941)
MySQL Cluster: A scan timeout returned Error 4028 (Node failure caused abort of transaction) instead of Error 4008 (Node failure caused abort of transaction...). (Bug#21799)
MySQL Cluster:
The node recovery algorithm was missing a version check for
tables in the ALTER_TABLE_COMMITTED
state (as
opposed to the TABLE_ADD_COMMITTED
state,
which has the version check). This could cause inconsistent
schemas across nodes following node recovery.
(Bug#21756)
MySQL Cluster: Partition distribution keys were updated only for the primary and starting replicas during node recovery. This could lead to node failure recovery for clusters having an odd number of replicas.
For best results, use values for
NumberOfReplicas
that are even powers of 2.
MySQL Cluster: The ndb_mgm management client did not set the exit status on errors, always returning 0 instead. (Bug#21530)
MySQL Cluster:
Attempting to create an NDB
table
on a MySQL with an existing non-Cluster table with the same name
in the same database could result in data loss or corruption.
MySQL now issues a warning when a SHOW
TABLES
or other statement causing table discovery
finds such a table.
(Bug#21378)
MySQL Cluster: Cluster logs were not rotated following the first rotation cycle. (Bug#21345)
MySQL Cluster:
When inserting a row into an NDB
table with a duplicate value for a nonprimary unique key, the
error issued would reference the wrong key.
(Bug#21072)
MySQL Cluster:
Condition pushdown did not work correctly with
DATETIME
columns.
(Bug#21056)
MySQL Cluster: Under some circumstances, local checkpointing would hang, keeping any unstarted nodes from being started. (Bug#20895)
MySQL Cluster:
Using an invalid node ID with the management client
STOP
command could cause
ndb_mgm to hang.
(Bug#20575)
MySQL Cluster: Data nodes added while the cluster was running in single user mode were all assigned node ID 0, which could later cause multiple node failures. Adding nodes while in single user mode is no longer possible. (Bug#20395)
MySQL Cluster:
In some cases where SELECT COUNT(*)
from an
NDB
table should have yielded an
error, MAX_INT
was returned instead.
(Bug#19914)
MySQL Cluster: Following the restart of a management node, the Cluster management client did not automatically reconnect. (Bug#19873)
MySQL Cluster:
Error messages given when trying to make online changes to
parameters such as NoOfReplicas
that can only
be changed via a complete shutdown and restart of the cluster
did not indicate the true nature of the problem.
(Bug#19787)
MySQL Cluster: ndb_restore did not always make clear that it had recovered successfully from temporary errors while restoring a cluster backup. (Bug#19651)
MySQL Cluster:
In rare situations with resource shortages, a crash could result
from insufficient IndexScanOperations
.
(Bug#19198)
MySQL Cluster: ndb_mgm -e show | head would hang after displaying the first 10 lines of output. (Bug#19047)
MySQL Cluster: The error returned by the cluster when too many nodes were defined did not make clear the nature of the problem. (Bug#19045)
MySQL Cluster:
The ndb_config utility did not perform host
lookups correctly when using the --host
option
(Bug#17582)
MySQL Cluster: A problem with takeover during a system restart caused ordered indexes to be rebuilt incorrectly. (Bug#15303)
Replication: Column names were not quoted properly for replicated views. (Bug#19736)
Replication:
Transient errors in replication from master to slave may trigger
multiple Got fatal error 1236: 'binlog truncated in the
middle of event'
errors on the slave.
(Bug#4053)
Cluster API:
The NdbOperation::getBlobHandle()
method,
when called with the name of a nonexistent column, caused a
segmentation fault.
(Bug#21036)
Cluster API: When multiple processes or threads in parallel performed the same ordered scan with exclusive lock and updated the retrieved records, the scan could skip some records, which as a result were not updated. (Bug#20446)
There was a race condition in the InnoDB
fil_flush_file_spaces()
function.
(Bug#24089)
This regression was introduced by Bug#15653.
yaSSL-related memory leaks were detected by Valgrind. (Bug#23981)
The internal SQL interpreter of InnoDB
placed
an unnecessary lock on the supremum record with
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog
enabled. This caused an assertion failure when
InnoDB
was built with debugging enabled.
(Bug#23769)
returns
M
% 0NULL
, but (
evaluated to
false.
(Bug#23411)M
% 0) IS NULL
For not-yet-authenticated connections, the
Time
column in SHOW
PROCESSLIST
was a random value rather than
NULL
.
(Bug#23379)
MySQL failed to build on Linux/Alpha. (Bug#23256)
This regression was introduced by Bug#21250.
If COMPRESS()
returned
NULL
, subsequent invocations of
COMPRESS()
within a result set or
within a trigger also returned NULL
.
(Bug#23254)
Insufficient memory
(myisam_sort_buffer_size
) could
cause a server crash for several operations on
MyISAM
tables: repair table, create index by
sort, repair by sort, parallel repair, bulk insert.
(Bug#23175)
The column default value in the output from
SHOW COLUMNS
or SELECT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
was truncated to 64
characters.
(Bug#23037)
mysql did not check for errors when fetching data during result set printing. (Bug#22913)
The return value from my_seek()
was ignored.
(Bug#22828)
The optimizer failed to use equality propagation for
BETWEEN
and IN
predicates with string arguments.
(Bug#22753)
The Handler_rollback
status
variable sometimes was incremented when no rollback had taken
place.
(Bug#22728)
The Host
column in SHOW
PROCESSLIST
output was blank when the server was
started with the
--skip-grant-tables
option.
(Bug#22723)
If a table contains an AUTO_INCREMENT
column,
inserting into an insertable view on the table that does not
include the AUTO_INCREMENT
column should not
change the value of
LAST_INSERT_ID()
, because the
side effects of inserting default values into columns not part
of the view should not be visible. MySQL was incorrectly setting
LAST_INSERT_ID()
to zero.
(Bug#22584)
Instance Manager had a race condition involving mysqld PID file removal. (Bug#22379)
The optimizer used the ref
join type rather than eq_ref
for a simple join on strings.
(Bug#22367)
Some queries that used MAX()
and
GROUP BY
could incorrectly return an empty
result.
(Bug#22342)
If an init_connect
SQL
statement produced an error, the connection was silently
terminated with no error message. Now the server writes a
warning to the error log.
(Bug#22158)
Use of a DES-encrypted SSL certificate file caused a server crash. (Bug#21868)
Use of PREPARE
with a
CREATE PROCEDURE
statement that
contained a syntax error caused a server crash.
(Bug#21856)
Adding a day, month, or year interval to a
DATE
value produced a
DATE
, but adding a week interval
produced a DATETIME
value. Now
all produce a DATE
value.
(Bug#21811)
Use of a subquery that invoked a function in the column list of the outer query resulted in a memory leak. (Bug#21798)
Selecting from a MERGE
table could result in
a server crash if the underlying tables had fewer indexes than
the MERGE
table itself.
(Bug#21617, Bug#22937)
After FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK
followed by
UNLOCK
TABLES
, attempts to drop or alter a stored routine
failed with an error that the routine did not exist, and
attempts to execute the routine failed with a lock conflict
error.
(Bug#21414)
For multiple-table UPDATE
statements, storage engines were not notified of duplicate-key
errors.
(Bug#21381)
Within a prepared statement, SELECT (COUNT(*) =
1)
(or similar use of other aggregate functions) did
not return the correct result for statement re-execution.
(Bug#21354)
It was possible for a stored routine with a
non-latin1
name to cause a stack overrun.
(Bug#21311)
Creating a TEMPORARY
table with the same name
as an existing table that was locked by another client could
result in a lock conflict for DROP TEMPORARY
TABLE
because the server unnecessarily tried to
acquire a name lock.
(Bug#21096)
Incorrect results could be obtained from re-execution of a
parametrized prepared statement or a stored routine with a
SELECT
that uses LEFT
JOIN
with a second table having only one row.
(Bug#21081)
Within a stored routine, a view definition cannot refer to routine parameters or local variables. However, an error did not occur until the routine was called. Now it occurs during parsing of the routine creation statement.
A side effect of this fix is that if you have already created
such routines, and error will occur if you execute
SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE
or
SHOW CREATE FUNCTION
. You
should drop these routines because they are erroneous.
In mysql, invoking connect
or \r
with very long
db_name
or
host_name
parameters caused buffer
overflow.
(Bug#20894)
SHOW VARIABLES
truncated the
Value
field to 256 characters.
(Bug#20862)
WITH ROLLUP
could group unequal values.
(Bug#20825)
Range searches on columns with an index prefix could miss records. (Bug#20732)
An UPDATE
that referred to a key
column in the WHERE
clause and activated a
trigger that modified the column resulted in a loop.
(Bug#20670)
LIKE
searches failed for indexed
utf8
character columns.
(Bug#20471)
With sql_mode = TRADITIONAL
, MySQL
incorrectly aborted on warnings within stored routines and
triggers.
(Bug#20028)
mysqldump --xml produced invalid XML for
BLOB
data.
(Bug#19745)
FLUSH INSTANCES
in Instance Manager triggered
an assertion failure.
(Bug#19368)
For a debug server, a reference to an undefined user variable in
a prepared statement executed with
EXECUTE
caused an assertion
failure.
(Bug#19356)
Within a trigger for a base table, selecting from a view on that base table failed. (Bug#19111)
The value of the warning_count
system variable was not being calculated correctly (also
affecting SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS
).
(Bug#19024)
DELETE IGNORE
could hang for foreign key
parent deletes.
(Bug#18819)
InnoDB
used table locks (not row locks)
within stored functions.
(Bug#18077)
mysql would lose its connection to the server if its standard output was not writable. (Bug#17583)
mysql-test-run did not work correctly for RPM-based installations. (Bug#17194)
A client library crash was caused by executing a statement such
as SELECT * FROM t1 PROCEDURE ANALYSE()
using
a server side cursor on a table t1
that does
not have the same number of columns as the output from
PROCEDURE ANALYSE()
.
(Bug#17039)
The WITH CHECK OPTION
for a view failed to
prevent storing invalid column values for
UPDATE
statements.
(Bug#16813)
ALTER TABLE
was not able to
rename a view.
(Bug#14959)
Statements such as DROP PROCEDURE
and DROP VIEW
were written to the
binary log too late due to a race condition.
(Bug#14262)
A literal string in a GROUP BY
clause could
be interpreted as a column name.
(Bug#14019)
Instance Manager didn't close the client socket file when starting a new mysqld instance. mysqld inherited the socket, causing clients connected to Instance Manager to hang. (Bug#12751)
Entries in the slow query log could have an incorrect
Rows_examined
value.
(Bug#12240)
Lack of validation for input and output
TIME
values resulted in several
problems: SEC_TO_TIME()
in some
cases did not clip large values to the
TIME
range appropriately;
SEC_TO_TIME()
treated
BIGINT UNSIGNED
values as signed; only
truncation warnings were produced when both truncation and
out-of-range TIME
values
occurred.
(Bug#11655, Bug#20927)
A locking safety check in InnoDB
reported a
spurious error stored_select_lock_type is 0 inside
::start_stmt() for
INSERT ...
SELECT
statements in
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog
mode. The safety check was removed.
(Bug#10746)
FROM_UNIXTIME()
did not accept
arguments up to POWER(2,31)-1
,
which it had previously.
(Bug#9191)
OPTIMIZE TABLE
with
myisam_repair_threads
> 1
could result in MyISAM
table corruption.
(Bug#8283)
