This appendix lists the changes from version to version in MySQL
Enterprise, including MySQL Enterprise Server. Releases in MySQL
Enterprise Server are divided into the following release packs:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Rapid Update Service Packs</em></span> are issued once
a month and incorporate all the bug fixes and security updates
introduced since the previous MySQL Enterprise Server release. A
single Service Pack can be used to update MySQL Enterprise
Server; it is not necessary to install intervening service packs
to bring your system up to date.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Quarterly Service Packs</em></span> are issued each
quarter and incorporate all the bug fixes and security updates
introduced since the previous MySQL Enterprise Server release. A
single Service Pack can be used to update MySQL Enterprise
Server; it is not necessary to install intervening service packs
to bring your system up to date.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Hot-fix releases</em></span> incorporate fixes for bugs
that caused significant issues that are not released as part of
a Service Pack.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
The Release Notes are updated as bugs are fixed and features are
incorporated, so that everybody can follow the development process.
</p><p>
Note that we tend to update the manual at the same time we make
changes to MySQL. If you find a recent version of MySQL listed here
that you can't find on our download page
(<a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/" target="_top">http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/</a>), it means that the version has
not yet been released (and will normally be marked so in the
appropriate Release Note section).
</p><p>
The date mentioned with a release version is the date of the last
change done internally at MySQL AB (the BitKeeper ChangeSet) on
which the release was based, not the date when the packages were
made available. The binaries are usually made available a few days
after the date of the tagged ChangeSet, because building and testing
all packages takes some time.
</p><p>
For information on how to determine your current version and release
type, see <a href="installing.html#installation-version" title="2.2. Determining your current MySQL version">Section 2.2, “Determining your current MySQL version”</a>.

</p><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
It was possible for option files to be read twice at program
startup, if some of the standard option file locations turned
out to be the same directory. Now duplicates are removed from
the list of files to be read.
</p><p>
Also, users could not override system-wide settings using
<code class="filename">~/.my.cnf</code> because
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>SYSCONFDIR</code></em>/my.cnf</code>
was read last. The latter file now is read earlier so that
<code class="filename">~/.my.cnf</code> can override system-wide
settings.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/20748" target="_top">Bug#20748</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
It was possible for the name of the relay log file to exceeed
the amount of memory reserved for it, possibly leading to a
crash of the server.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31836" target="_top">Bug#31836</a>)</p><p>See also <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28597" target="_top">Bug#28597</a></p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
Corruption of log events caused the server to crash on 64-bit
Linux systems having 4 GB of memory or more.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31793" target="_top">Bug#31793</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
One thread could read uninitialized memory from the stack of
another thread. This issue was only known to occur in a
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> process acting as both a master and a
slave.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30752" target="_top">Bug#30752</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
Due a previous change in how the default name and location of
the binlog file were determined, replication failed following
some upgrades.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28597" target="_top">Bug#28597</a>)</p><p>See also <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31836" target="_top">Bug#31836</a></p><p>This regression was introduced by <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/20166" target="_top">Bug#20166</a></p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
Stored procedures having <code class="literal">BIT</code> parameters were
not replicated correctly.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26199" target="_top">Bug#26199</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
Issuing <code class="literal">SHOW SLAVE STATUS</code> as
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> was shutting down could cause a crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26000" target="_top">Bug#26000</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
An <code class="literal">UPDATE</code> statement using a stored function
that modified a non-transactional table was not logged if it
failed. This caused the copy of the non-transactional table on
the master have a row that the copy on the slave did not.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23333" target="_top">Bug#23333</a>)</p><p>See also <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/12713" target="_top">Bug#12713</a></p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Replication</strong></span>:
A replication slave sometimes failed to reconnect because it was
unable to run <code class="literal">SHOW SLAVE HOSTS</code>. It was not
necessary to run this statement on slaves (since the master
should track connection IDs), and the execution of this
statement by slaves was removed.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21132" target="_top">Bug#21132</a>)</p><p>See also <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/13963" target="_top">Bug#13963</a>, <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21869" target="_top">Bug#21869</a></p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">myisamchk --unpack</strong></span> could corrupt a table that
when unpacked has static (fixed-length) row format.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31277" target="_top">Bug#31277</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<a href="functions.html#operator_regexp"><code class="literal">REGEXP</code></a> operations could cause
a server crash for character sets such as
<code class="literal">ucs2</code>. Now the arguments are converted to
<code class="literal">utf8</code> if possible, to allow correct results to
be produced if the resulting strings contain only 8-bit
characters.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31081" target="_top">Bug#31081</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The options available to the <code class="literal">CHECK TABLE</code>
statement were also allowed in <code class="literal">OPTIMIZE TABLE</code>
and <code class="literal">ANALYZE TABLE</code> statements, but caused
corruption during their execution. These options were never
supported for the these statements, and an error is now raised
if you try to apply these options to these statements.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30495" target="_top">Bug#30495</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Some valid <code class="literal">euc-kr</code> characters having the
second byte in the ranges <code class="literal">[0x41..0x5A]</code> and
<code class="literal">[0x61..0x7A]</code> were rejected.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30315" target="_top">Bug#30315</a>)</p></li><li><p>
On some 64-bit systems, inserting the largest negative value
into a <code class="literal">BIGINT</code> column resulted in incorrect
data.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30069" target="_top">Bug#30069</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> had a race condition for an adaptive
hash rw-lock waiting for an X-lock.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29560" target="_top">Bug#29560</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">readline</code> library has been updated to
version 5.2. This addresses issues in the
<span><strong class="command">mysql</strong></span> client where history and editing within
the client would fail to work as expected.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/18431" target="_top">Bug#18431</a>)</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="releasenotes-es-5-0-52"></a>C.1.2.

</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> produces a <code class="literal">-- Dump
completed on <em class="replaceable"><code>DATE</code></em></code> comment
at the end of the dump if <code class="option">--comments</code> is given.
The date causes dump files for identical data take at different
times to appear to be different. The new options
<code class="option">--dump-date</code> and
<code class="option">--skip-dump-date</code> control whether the date is
added to the comment. <code class="option">--skip-dump-date</code>
suppresses date printing. The default is
<code class="option">--dump-date</code> (include the date in the comment).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31077" target="_top">Bug#31077</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The default value of the <code class="literal">connect_timeout</code>
system variable was increased from 5 to 10 seconds. This might
help in cases where clients frequently encounter errors of the
form <code class="literal">Lost connection to MySQL server at
'<em class="replaceable"><code>XXX</code></em>', system error:
<em class="replaceable"><code>errno</code></em></code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28359" target="_top">Bug#28359</a>)</p></li></ul></div><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Security Fix</strong></span>:
Using <code class="literal">RENAME TABLE</code> against a table with
explicit <code class="literal">DATA DIRECTORY</code> and <code class="literal">INDEX
DIRECTORY</code> options can be used to overwrite system
table information by replacing the symbolic link points. the
file to which the symlink points.
</p><p>
MySQL will now return an error when the file to which the
symlink points already exists.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/32111" target="_top">Bug#32111</a>, <a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5969" target="_top">CVE-2007-5969</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Security Fix</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">ALTER VIEW</code> retained the original
<code class="literal">DEFINER</code> value, even when altered by another
user, which could allow that user to gain the access rights of
the view. Now <code class="literal">ALTER VIEW</code> is allowed only to
the original definer or users with the <code class="literal">SUPER</code>
privilege.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29908" target="_top">Bug#29908</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Security Fix</strong></span>:
When using a <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> table, the local
server can be forced to crash if the remote server returns a
result with fewer columns than expected.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29801" target="_top">Bug#29801</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
An uninitialized variable in the <code class="literal">NDB</code> storage
engine code led to <code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> failures
when the server was compiled with <span><strong class="command">gcc</strong></span> 4.2.1.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31848" target="_top">Bug#31848</a>)</p><p>This regression was introduced by <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27437" target="_top">Bug#27437</a></p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
An error with an <code class="literal">if</code> statement in
<code class="filename">sql/ha_ndbcluster.cc</code> could potentially lead
to an infinite loop in case of failure when working with
<code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> columns in
<code class="literal">NDB</code> tables.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31810" target="_top">Bug#31810</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The <code class="literal">NDB</code> storage engine code was not safe for
strict-alias optimization in <span><strong class="command">gcc</strong></span> 4.2.1.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31761" target="_top">Bug#31761</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Transaction timeouts were not handled well in some
circumstances, leading to excessive number of transactions being
aborted unnecessarily.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30379" target="_top">Bug#30379</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
In some cases, the cluster managment server logged entries
multiple times following a restart of <span><strong class="command">mgmd</strong></span>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29565" target="_top">Bug#29565</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
An interpreted program of sufficient size and complexity could
cause all cluster data nodes to shut down due to buffer
overruns.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29390" target="_top">Bug#29390</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">UPDATE IGNORE</code> could sometimes fail on
<code class="literal">NDB</code> tables due to the use of unitialized data
when checking for duplicate keys to be ignored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25817" target="_top">Bug#25817</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Under certain conditions, the presence of a <code class="literal">GROUP
BY</code> clause could cause an <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code>
clause to be ignored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/32202" target="_top">Bug#32202</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The server crashed on optimizations involving a join of
<code class="literal">INT</code> and <code class="literal">MEDIUMINT</code> columns
and a system variable in the <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/32103" target="_top">Bug#32103</a>)</p></li><li><p>
User-defined functions are not loaded if the server is started
with the <code class="option">--skip-grant-tables</code> option, but the
server was not properly handing this case and was issuing an
out-of-memory error message instead.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/32020" target="_top">Bug#32020</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A column with malformed multi-byte characters could cause the

Executing <code class="literal">DISABLE KEYS</code> and <code class="literal">ENABLE
KEYS</code> on a non-empty table would cause the size of the
index file for the table to grow considerable. This was because
the <code class="literal">DISABLE KEYS</code> operation would only mark
the existing index, without deleting the index blocks. The
<code class="literal">ENABLE KEYS</code> operation would re-create the
index, adding new blocks, while the previous index blocks would
remain. Existing indexes are now dropped and recreated when the
<code class="literal">ENABLE KEYS</code> statement is executed.

This section documents all changes and bugfixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.48).
If you would like to receive more fine-grained and personalized
<span class="emphasis"><em>update alerts</em></span> about fixes that are relevant

</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
The parser accepted statements that contained <code class="literal">/* ...
*/</code> that were not properly closed with
<code class="literal">*/</code>, such as <code class="literal">SELECT 1 /* +
2</code>. Statements that contain unclosed
<code class="literal">/*</code>-comments now are rejected with a syntax
error.
</p><p>
This fix has the potential to cause incompatibilities. Because
of <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26302" target="_top">Bug#26302</a>, which caused the trailing <code class="literal">*/</code>
to be truncated from comments in views, stored routines,
triggers, and events, it is possible that objects of those types
may have been stored with definitions that now will be rejected
as syntactically invalid. Such objects should be dropped and
re-created so that their definitions do not contain truncated
comments. If a stored object definition contains only a single
statement (does not use a <code class="literal">BEGIN ... END</code>
block) and contains a comment within the statement, the comment
should be moved to follow the statement or the object should be
rewritten to use a <code class="literal">BEGIN ... END</code> block. For
example, this statement:
</p><pre class="programlisting">CREATE PROCEDURE p() SELECT 1 /* my comment */ ;
</pre><p>
Can be rewritten in either of these ways:
</p><pre class="programlisting">CREATE PROCEDURE p() SELECT 1; /* my comment */
CREATE PROCEDURE p() BEGIN SELECT 1 /* my comment */ ; END;

Attempting to restore a backup made on a cluster host using one

cluster to fail.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29674" target="_top">Bug#29674</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Reads on <code class="literal">BLOB</code> columns were not locked when

A query using joins between several large tables and requiring
unique index lookups failed to complete, eventually returning
<span class="errortext">Uknown Error</span> after a very long period of
time. This occurred due to inadequate handling of instances
where the Transaction Coordinator ran out of
<code class="literal">TransactionBufferMemory</code>, when the cluster
should have returned NDB error code 4012 (<span class="errortext">Request
ndbd time-out</span>).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28804" target="_top">Bug#28804</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The description of the <code class="option">--print</code> option provided

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27683" target="_top">Bug#27683</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
An invalid subselect on an <code class="literal">NDB</code> table could

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27494" target="_top">Bug#27494</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
An attempt to perform a <code class="literal">SELECT ... FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES</code> whose result included
information about <code class="literal">NDB</code> tables for which the
user had no privileges crashed the MySQL Server on which the
query was performed.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26793" target="_top">Bug#26793</a>)</p></li><li><p>
When a <code class="literal">TIMESTAMP</code> with a non-zero time part
was converted to a <code class="literal">DATE</code> value, no warning was
generated. This caused index lookups to assume that this is a
valid conversion and was returning rows that match a comparison
between a <code class="literal">TIMESTAMP</code> value and a
<code class="literal">DATE</code> keypart. Now a warning is generated so
that <code class="literal">TIMESTAMP</code> with a non-zero time part will
not match <code class="literal">DATE</code> values.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31221" target="_top">Bug#31221</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A server crash could occur when a

a <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> clause.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31035" target="_top">Bug#31035</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For an <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> table if a
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> was ordered by the primary key and
also had a <code class="literal">WHERE field = value</code> clause on a
different field that was indexed, a <code class="literal">DESC</code>
order instruction would be ignored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/31001" target="_top">Bug#31001</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A failed <code class="literal">HANDLER ... READ</code> operation could
leave the table in a locked state.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30632" target="_top">Bug#30632</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The optimization that uses a unique index to remove
<code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> did not ensure that the index was
actually used, thus violating the <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code>
that is implied by <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30596" target="_top">Bug#30596</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Ssl_cipher_list'</code> from a
MySQL client connected via SSL returned an empty string rather
than a list of available ciphers.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30593" target="_top">Bug#30593</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Issuing a <code class="literal">DELETE</code> statement having both an
<code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> clause and a
<code class="literal">LIMIT</code> clause could cause
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> to crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30385" target="_top">Bug#30385</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">Last_query_cost</code> status variable value can
be computed accurately only for simple “<span class="quote">flat</span>”
queries, not complex queries such as those with subqueries or
<code class="literal">UNION</code>. However, the value was not
consistently being set to 0 for complex queries.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30377" target="_top">Bug#30377</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Queries that had a <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> clause and
selected <a href="functions.html#function_count"><code class="literal">COUNT(DISTINCT
<em class="replaceable"><code>bit_column</code></em>)</code></a> returned
incorrect results.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30324" target="_top">Bug#30324</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using <code class="literal">DISTINCT</code> or <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code>
on a <code class="literal">BIT</code> column in a
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> statement caused the column to be cast
internally as an integer, with incorrect results being returned
from the query.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30245" target="_top">Bug#30245</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Multiple-table <code class="literal">DELETE</code> statements could delete
rows from the wrong table.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30234" target="_top">Bug#30234</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Short-format <span><strong class="command">mysql</strong></span> commands embedded within
<code class="literal">/*! ... */</code> comments were parsed incorrectly
by <span><strong class="command">mysql</strong></span>, which discarded the rest of the
comment including the terminating <code class="literal">*/</code>
characters. The result was a malformed (unclosed) comment. Now
<span><strong class="command">mysql</strong></span> does not discard the
<code class="literal">*/</code> characters.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30164" target="_top">Bug#30164</a>)</p></li><li><p>
When <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> wrote <code class="literal">DROP
DATABASE</code> statements within version-specific comments,
it included the terminating semicolon in the wrong place,
causing following statements to fail when the dump file was
reloaded.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30126" target="_top">Bug#30126</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If a view used a function in its <code class="literal">SELECT</code>
statement, the columns from the view were not inserted into the
<code class="literal">INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS</code> table.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29408" target="_top">Bug#29408</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Killing an SSL connection on platforms where MySQL is compiled
with <code class="literal">-DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE</code> (Windows, Mac OS
X, and some others) could crash the server.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28812" target="_top">Bug#28812</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A <code class="literal">SELECT</code> in one connection could be blocked
by <code class="literal">INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code> in
another connection even when
<code class="literal">low_priority_updates</code> is set.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28587" target="_top">Bug#28587</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysql_upgrade</strong></span> could run binaries dynamically
linked against incorrect versions of shared libraries.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28560" target="_top">Bug#28560</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">SHOW COLUMNS</code> returned <code class="literal">NULL</code>
instead of the empty string for the <code class="literal">Default</code>
value of columns that had no default specified.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27747" target="_top">Bug#27747</a>)</p></li><li><p>
With recent versions of DBD::mysql,
<span><strong class="command">mysqlhotcopy</strong></span> generated table names that were
doubly qualified with the database name.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27694" target="_top">Bug#27694</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> tables, <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE a AS
SELECT * FROM A</code> would fail.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25164" target="_top">Bug#25164</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Under heavy load with a large query cache, invalidating part of
the cache could cause the server to freeze (that is, to be
unable to service other operations until the invalidation was
complete).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21074" target="_top">Bug#21074</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Worked around an <span><strong class="command">icc</strong></span> problem with an
incorrect machine instruction being generated in the context of
software pre-fetching after a subroutine got in-lined.
(Upgrading to <span><strong class="command">icc</strong></span> 10.0.026 makes the
workaround unnecessary.)
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/20803" target="_top">Bug#20803</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Parameters of type <code class="literal">DATETIME</code> or

</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
If a <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> table is created with no
<code class="literal">DATA DIRECTORY</code> option, the
<code class="filename">.MYD</code> file is created in the database
directory. By default, if <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> finds an
existing <code class="filename">.MYD</code> file in this case, it
overwrites it. The same applies to <code class="filename">.MYI</code>
files for tables created with no <code class="literal">INDEX
DIRECTORY</code> option. To suppress this behavior, start the
server with the new <code class="option">--keep_files_on_create</code>
option, in which case <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> will not

Large file support did not work in AIX server binaries.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/10776" target="_top">Bug#10776</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Memory corruption occurred for some queries with a top-level
<code class="literal">OR</code> operation in the <code class="literal">WHERE</code>
condition if they contained equality predicates and other
sargable predicates in disjunctive parts of the condition.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30396" target="_top">Bug#30396</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The server created temporary tables for filesort operations in
the working directory, not in the directory specified by the
<code class="literal">tmpdir</code> system variable.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30287" target="_top">Bug#30287</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The query cache does not support retrieval of statements for
which column level access control applies, but the server was
still caching such statements, thus wasting memory.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30269" target="_top">Bug#30269</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> on <code class="literal">BIT</code> columns

statement caused a server crash if the query cache was enabled.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30201" target="_top">Bug#30201</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Prepared statements containing

acquired were not released.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30193" target="_top">Bug#30193</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Use of local variables with non-ASCII names in stored procedures
crashed the server.

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30118" target="_top">Bug#30118</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="option">--myisam-recover=''</code> (empty option value) did
not disable <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> recovery.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30088" target="_top">Bug#30088</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Statements within stored procedures ignored the value of the
<code class="literal">low_priority_updates</code> system variable.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29963" target="_top">Bug#29963</a>)</p><p>See also <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26162" target="_top">Bug#26162</a></p></li><li><p>
For <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> tables on Windows,
<code class="literal">INSERT</code>, <code class="literal">DELETE</code>, or
<code class="literal">UPDATE</code> followed by <code class="literal">ALTER
TABLE</code> within <code class="literal">LOCK TABLES</code> could
cause table corruption.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29957" target="_top">Bug#29957</a>)</p></li><li><p>
With auto-reconnect enabled, row fetching for a prepared
statement could crash after reconnect occurred because loss of
the statement handler was not accounted for.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29948" target="_top">Bug#29948</a>)</p></li><li><p>
LOCK TABLES did not pre-lock tables used in triggers of the
locked tables. Unexpected locking behavior and statement
failures similar to <span class="errortext">failed: 1100: Table
'<em class="replaceable"><code>xx</code></em>' was not locked with LOCK
TABLES</span> could result.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29929" target="_top">Bug#29929</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT ... VALUES(CONNECTION_ID(), ...)</code>
statements were written to the binary log in such a way that
they could not be properly restored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29928" target="_top">Bug#29928</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Adding <code class="literal">DISTINCT</code> could cause incorrect rows to
appear in a query result.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29911" target="_top">Bug#29911</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using the <a href="functions.html#function_date"><code class="literal">DATE()</code></a> function in a
<code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause did not return any records after
encountering <code class="literal">NULL</code>. However, using
<code class="literal">TRIM</code> or <code class="literal">CAST</code> produced the
correct results.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29898" target="_top">Bug#29898</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Very long prepared statements in stored procedures could cause a
server crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29856" target="_top">Bug#29856</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If query execution involved a temporary table,
<a href="functions.html#function_group-concat"><code class="literal">GROUP_CONCAT()</code></a> could return a
result with an incorrect character set.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29850" target="_top">Bug#29850</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If one thread was performing concurrent inserts, other threads
reading from the same table using equality key searches could
see the index values for new rows before the data values had
been written, leading to reports of table corruption.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29838" target="_top">Bug#29838</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Repeatedly accessing a view in a stored procedure (for example,
in a loop) caused a small amount of memory to be allocated per
access. Although this memory is deallocated on disconnect, it
could be a problem for a long running stored procedures that
make repeated access of views.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29834" target="_top">Bug#29834</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> produced output that incorrectly
discarded the <code class="literal">NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO</code> value of
the <code class="literal">SQL_MODE</code> variable after dumping triggers.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29788" target="_top">Bug#29788</a>)</p></li><li><p>
An assertion failure occurred within yaSSL for very long keys.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29784" target="_top">Bug#29784</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For <code class="literal">MEMORY</code> tables, the
<code class="literal">index_merge</code> union access method could return
incorrect results.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29740" target="_top">Bug#29740</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Comparison of <code class="literal">TIME</code> values using the
<a href="functions.html#operator_between"><code class="literal">BETWEEN</code></a> operator led to string
comparison, producing incorrect results in some cases. Now the
values are compared as integers.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29739" target="_top">Bug#29739</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The thread ID was not reset properly after execution of
<a href="apis.html#mysql-change-user" title="23.2.3.3. mysql_change_user()"><code class="literal">mysql_change_user()</code></a>, which
could cause replication failure when replicating temporary
tables.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29734" target="_top">Bug#29734</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For a table with a <code class="literal">DATE</code> column
<em class="replaceable"><code>date_col</code></em> such that selecting rows
with <code class="literal">WHERE <em class="replaceable"><code>date_col</code></em> =
'<em class="replaceable"><code>date_val</code></em> 00:00:00'</code> yielded
a non-empty result, adding <code class="literal">GROUP BY
<em class="replaceable"><code>date_col</code></em> </code> caused the result
to be empty.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29729" target="_top">Bug#29729</a>)</p></li><li><p>
In some cases, <code class="literal">INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... GROUP

A slave running with <code class="option">--log-slave-updates</code> would
fail to write <code class="literal">INSERT DELAY IGNORE</code> statements

The special “<span class="quote">zero</span>” <code class="literal">ENUM</code> value
was coerced to the normal empty string <code class="literal">ENUM</code>

ineffective: A sequential scan was always used.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29338" target="_top">Bug#29338</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> corruption could occur with the
<code class="literal">cp932_japanese_ci</code> collation for the

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29155" target="_top">Bug#29155</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> statements on a master server
are replicated as non-<code class="literal">DELAYED</code> inserts on
slaves (which is normal, to preserve serialization), but the
inserts on the slave did not use concurrent inserts. Now
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> on a slave is converted to a
concurrent insert when possible, and to a normal insert
otherwise.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29152" target="_top">Bug#29152</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A maximum of 4TB <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> free space was

Coercion of ASCII values to character sets that are a superset
of ASCII sometimes was not done, resulting in <span class="errortext">illegal
mix of collations</span> errors. These cases now are
resolved using repertoire, a new string expression attribute
(see <a href="internationalization-localization.html#charset-repertoire" title="9.1.6. String Repertoire">Section 9.1.6, “String Repertoire”</a>).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28875" target="_top">Bug#28875</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Fast <code class="literal">ALTER TABLE</code> (that works without
rebuilding the table) acquired duplicate locks in the storage
engine. In <code class="literal">MyISAM</code>, if <code class="literal">ALTER

it caused all data inserted after <code class="literal">LOCK TABLE</code>
to disappear.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28838" target="_top">Bug#28838</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Tables using the <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> storage engine
incremented <code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> values incorrectly
with <code class="literal">ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28781" target="_top">Bug#28781</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> tables, MySQL unnecessarily sorted

On Mac OS X, shared-library installation pathnames were
incorrect.

Using the <code class="option">--skip-add-drop-table </code>option with
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> generated incorrect SQL if the
database included any views. The recreation of views requires
the creation and removal of temporary tables. This option
suppressed the removal of those temporary tables. The same
applied to <code class="option">--compact</code> since this option also
invokes <code class="option">--skip-add-drop-table</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28524" target="_top">Bug#28524</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">IS_UPDATABLE</code> column in the

set correctly.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28266" target="_top">Bug#28266</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A race condition in the interaction between
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> and the query cache code caused the
query cache not to invalidate itself for concurrently inserted
data.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28249" target="_top">Bug#28249</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Indexing column prefixes in <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> tables
could cause table corruption.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28138" target="_top">Bug#28138</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Index creation could fail due to truncation of key values to the
maximum key length rather than to a mulitiple of the maximum

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28125" target="_top">Bug#28125</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Some <code class="literal">SHOW</code> statements and

information not allowed by the user's access privileges.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27629" target="_top">Bug#27629</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Some character mappings in the <code class="filename">ascii.xml</code>

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27562" target="_top">Bug#27562</a>)</p></li><li><p>
An error that happened inside <code class="literal">INSERT</code>,
<code class="literal">UPDATE</code>, or <code class="literal">DELETE</code>
statements performed from within a stored function or trigger
could cause inconsistency between master and slave servers.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27417" target="_top">Bug#27417</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A <code class="literal">SELECT</code> with more than 31 nested dependent
subqueries returned an incorrect result.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27352" target="_top">Bug#27352</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT INTO ... SELECT</code> caused a crash if

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27294" target="_top">Bug#27294</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> tables had an artificially low
maximum of key length.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26909" target="_top">Bug#26909</a>)</p></li><li><p>
After the first read of a <code class="literal">TEMPORARY</code> table,
<code class="literal">CHECK TABLE</code> could report the table as being
corrupt.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26325" target="_top">Bug#26325</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If an operation had an <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> table, and two
triggers, <code class="literal">AFTER UPDATE</code> and <code class="literal">AFTER
INSERT</code>, competing for different resources (such as two
distinct <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> tables), the triggers were
unable to execute concurrently. In addition,
<code class="literal">INSERT</code> and <code class="literal">UPDATE</code>
statements for the <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> table were unable
to run concurrently.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26141" target="_top">Bug#26141</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">ALTER DATABASE</code> did not require at least one
option.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25859" target="_top">Bug#25859</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using <code class="literal">HANDLER</code> to open a table having a
storage engine not supported by <code class="literal">HANDLER</code>
properly returned an error, but also improperly prevented the
table from being dropped by other connections.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25856" target="_top">Bug#25856</a>)</p></li><li><p>
When using a <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> table, the value of
<code class="literal">last_insert_id()</code> would not correctly update
the C API interface, which would affect the autogenerated ID
returned both through the C API and the MySQL protocol,
affecting Connectors that used the protocol and/or C API.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25714" target="_top">Bug#25714</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The server was blocked from opening other tables while the
<code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> engine was attempting to open a
remote table. Now the server does not check the correctness of a
<code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> table at <code class="literal">CREATE
TABLE</code> time, but waits until the table actually is
accessed.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25679" target="_top">Bug#25679</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Several <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> assertion failures were
corrected.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25645" target="_top">Bug#25645</a>)</p></li><li><p>
In a stored function or trigger, when <code class="literal">InnoDB</code>
detected deadlock, it attempted rollback and displayed an
incorrect error message (<span class="errortext">Explicit or implicit commit
is not allowed in stored function or trigger</span>). Now
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> returns an error under these
conditions and does not attempt rollback. Rollback is handled
outside of <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> above the function/trigger
level.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24989" target="_top">Bug#24989</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Dropping a temporary <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> table that had
been locked with <code class="literal">LOCK TABLES</code> caused a server
crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24918" target="_top">Bug#24918</a>)</p></li><li><p>
On Windows, executables did not include Vista manifests.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24732" target="_top">Bug#24732</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Slave servers could incorrectly interpret an out-of-memory error
from the master and reconnect using the wrong binary log
position.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24192" target="_top">Bug#24192</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If MySQL/<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> crashed very quickly after
starting up, it would not force a checkpoint. In this case,
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> would skip crash recovery at next
startup, and the database would become corrupt. Fix: If the redo
log scan at <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> startup goes past the last
checkpoint, force crash recovery.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23710" target="_top">Bug#23710</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">SHOW INNODB STATUS</code> caused an assertion
failure under high load.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22819" target="_top">Bug#22819</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A statement of the form <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t1
SELECT f1() AS i</code> failed with a deadlock error if the
stored function <code class="literal">f1()</code> referred to a table with
the same name as the to-be-created table. Now it correctly
produces a message that the table already exists.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22427" target="_top">Bug#22427</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Read lock requests that were blocked by a pending write lock
request were not allowed to proceed if the statement requesting

For the general query log, logging of prepared statements
executed via the C API differed from logging of prepared

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/13326" target="_top">Bug#13326</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Backup software can cause

<em class="replaceable"><code>view_column</code></em> = constant</code> in
the <code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause and the <code class="literal">GROUP

Binary content <code class="literal">0x00</code> in a

0x00</code> following a dump and reload, which could cause
problems with data using multi-byte character sets such as
<code class="literal">GBK</code> (Chinese). This was due to a problem with
<code class="literal">SELECT INTO OUTFILE</code> whereby <code class="literal">LOAD
DATA</code> later incorrectly interpreted
<code class="literal">0x5C</code> as the second byte of a multi-byte
sequence rather than as the <code class="literal">SOLIDUS</code>
(“<span class="quote">\</span>”) character, used by MySQL as the escape
character.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26711" target="_top">Bug#26711</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Index creation could corrupt the table definition in the
<code class="filename">.frm</code> file: 1) A table with the maximum
number of key segments and maximum length key name would have a
corrupted <code class="filename">.frm</code> file, due to incorrect
calculation of the total key length. 2)
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> would reject a table with the maximum
number of keys and the maximum number of key segments in all
keys. (It would allow one less than this total maximum.) Now
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> accepts a table defined with the
maximum.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26642" target="_top">Bug#26642</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The index merge union access algorithm could produce incorrect
results with <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> tables. The problem could
also occur for queries that used <code class="literal">DISTINCT</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25798" target="_top">Bug#25798</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Under ActiveState Perl, <code class="literal">mysql-test-run.pl</code>
could kill itself when attempting to kill other processes.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25657" target="_top">Bug#25657</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A query with <code class="literal">DISTINCT</code> in the select list to

with the <code class="literal">SQL_BIG_RESULT</code> option.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25602" target="_top">Bug#25602</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For a multiple-row insert into a <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code>
table that refers to a remote transactional table, if the insert
failed for a row due to constraint failure, the remote table
would contain a partial commit (the rows preceding the failed
one) instead of rolling back the statement completely. This
occurred because the rows were treated as individual inserts.
</p><p>
Now <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> performs bulk-insert handling
such that multiple rows are sent to the remote table in a batch.
This provides a performance improvement and enables the remote
table to perform statement rollback properly should an error
occur. This capability has the following limitations:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>
The size of the insert cannot exceed the maximum packet size
between servers. If the insert exceeds this size, it is
broken into multiple packets and the rollback problem can
occur.
</p></li><li><p>
Bulk-insert handling does not occur for <code class="literal">INSERT ...
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code>.
</p></li></ul></div><p>(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25513" target="_top">Bug#25513</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> storage engine failed silently
for <code class="literal">INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code> if a
duplicate key violation occurred. <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code>
does not support <code class="literal">ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code>, so
now it correctly returns an <code class="literal">ER_DUP_KEY</code> error
if a duplicate key violation occurs.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25511" target="_top">Bug#25511</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A too-long <code class="literal">shared-memory-base-name</code> value
could cause a buffer overflow and crash the server or clients.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24924" target="_top">Bug#24924</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The server deducted some bytes from the
<code class="literal">key_cache_block_size</code> option value and reduced
it to the next lower 512 byte boundary. The resulting block size
was not a power of two. Setting the
<code class="literal">key_cache_block_size</code> system variable to a
value that is not a power of two resulted in
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> table corruption.

</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The server source tree now includes scripts to simplify building
MySQL with SCI support. For more information about SCI

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28844" target="_top">Bug#28844</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> statements on
<code class="literal">BLACKHOLE</code> tables are now rejected, due to the
fact that the <code class="literal">BLACKHOLE</code> storage engine does
not support them.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27998" target="_top">Bug#27998</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A new status variable, <code class="literal">Com_call_procedure</code>,

<code class="literal">CREATE TABLE LIKE</code> did not require any
privileges on the source table. Now it requires the
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege.
</p><p>
In addition, <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE LIKE</code> was not
isolated from alteration by other connections, which resulted in
various errors and incorrect binary log order when trying to
execute concurrently a <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE LIKE</code>
statement and either DDL statements on the source table or DML
or DDL statements on the target table.

When <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> was run with the
<code class="option">--delete-master-logs</code> option, binary log files
were deleted before it was known that the dump had succeeded,
not after. (The method for removing log files used
<code class="literal">RESET MASTER</code> prior to the dump. This also
reset the binary log sequence numbering to
<code class="literal">.000001</code>.) Now <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span>
flushes the logs (which creates a new binary log number with the
next sequence number), performs the dump, and then uses
<code class="literal">PURGE MASTER LOGS</code> to remove the log files
older than the new one. This also preserves log numbering
because the new log with the next number is generated and only
the preceding logs are removed. However, this may affect
applications if they rely on the log numbering sequence being
reset.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24733" target="_top">Bug#24733</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
The use of an <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> or
<code class="literal">DISTINCT</code> clause with a query containing a
call to the <a href="functions.html#function_group-concat"><code class="literal">GROUP_CONCAT()</code></a>
function caused results from previous queries to be redisplayed
in the current result. The fix for this includes replacing a
<code class="literal">BLOB</code> value used internally for sorting with a
<code class="literal">VARCHAR</code>. This means that for long results
(more than 65,535 bytes), it is possible for truncation to
occur; if so, an appropriate warning is issued.

A corrupt schema file could cause a <span class="errortext">File already
open</span> error.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28770" target="_top">Bug#28770</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Setting <code class="literal">InitialNoOpenFiles</code> equal to
<code class="literal">MaxNoOfOpenFiles</code> caused an error. This was
due to the fact that the actual value of
<code class="literal">MaxNoOfOpenFiles</code> as used by the cluster was
offset by 1 from the value set in
<code class="filename">config.ini</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28749" target="_top">Bug#28749</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">UPDATE IGNORE</code> statements involving the
primary keys of multiple tables could result in data corruption.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28719" target="_top">Bug#28719</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A race condition could result when non-master nodes (in addition
to the master node) tried to update active status due to a local
checkpoint (that is, between <code class="literal">NODE_FAILREP</code> and
<code class="literal">COPY_GCIREQ</code> events). Now only the master
updates the active status.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28717" target="_top">Bug#28717</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A fast global checkpoint under high load with high usage of the
redo buffer caused data nodes to fail.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28653" target="_top">Bug#28653</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
When an API node sent more than 1024 signals in a single batch,
<code class="literal">NDB</code> would process only the first 1024 of
these, and then hang.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28443" target="_top">Bug#28443</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A delay in obtaining <code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> IDs could
lead to excess temporary errors.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28410" target="_top">Bug#28410</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A failure to release internal resources following an error could
lead to problems with single user mode.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25818" target="_top">Bug#25818</a>)</p></li><li><p>
On the IBM i5 platform, the installation script in the
<code class="filename">.savf</code> binaries unconditionally executed the
<span><strong class="command">mysql_install_db</strong></span> script. This problem was
fixed in a repackaged distribution numbered 5.0.44b.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30084" target="_top">Bug#30084</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Long pathnames for internal temporary tables could cause stack
overflows.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29015" target="_top">Bug#29015</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using an <code class="literal">INTEGER</code> column from a table to
<a href="functions.html#function_round"><code class="literal">ROUND()</code></a> a number produced
different results than using a constant with the same value as
the <code class="literal">INTEGER</code> column.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28980" target="_top">Bug#28980</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If a program binds a given number of parameters to a prepared

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/10218" target="_top">Bug#10218</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The result for <a href="functions.html#function_cast"><code class="literal">CAST()</code></a> when
casting a value to <code class="literal">UNSIGNED</code> was limited to
the maximum signed <code class="literal">BIGINT</code> value

Release Notes for MySQL Enterprise 5.0.44 [MRU] (21 June 2007)</h3></div></div></div><p class="releaselevel">This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>Monthly Rapid Update</em></span> release of the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0.</p><p>
This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.42).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The server source tree now includes scripts to simplify building
MySQL with SCI support. For more information about SCI
interconnects and these build scripts, see
<a href="mysql-cluster.html#mysql-cluster-sci-sockets" title="16.9.1. Configuring MySQL Cluster to use SCI Sockets">Section 16.9.1, “Configuring MySQL Cluster to use SCI Sockets”</a>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25470" target="_top">Bug#25470</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Enterprise builds did not include the <code class="literal">CSV</code>
storage engine. <code class="literal">CSV</code> is now included in
Enterprise builds for all platforms except Windows, QNX, and
NetWare.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28844" target="_top">Bug#28844</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> statements on
<code class="literal">BLACKHOLE</code> tables are now rejected, due to the
fact that the <code class="literal">BLACKHOLE</code> storage engine does
not support them.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27998" target="_top">Bug#27998</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A new status variable, <code class="literal">Com_call_procedure</code>,
indicates the number of calls to stored procedures.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27994" target="_top">Bug#27994</a>)</p></li></ul></div><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Security Fix</strong></span>:
A malformed password packet in the connection protocol could
cause the server to crash. Thanks for Dormando for reporting
this bug, and for providing details and a proof of concept.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28984" target="_top">Bug#28984</a>, <a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3780" target="_top">CVE-2007-3780</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Security Fix</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">CREATE TABLE LIKE</code> did not require any
privileges on the source table. Now it requires the
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege.
</p><p>
In addition, <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE LIKE</code> was not
isolated from alteration by other connections, which resulted in
various errors and incorrect binary log order when trying to
execute concurrently a <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE LIKE</code>
statement and either DDL statements on the source table or DML
or DDL statements on the target table.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23667" target="_top">Bug#23667</a>, <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25578" target="_top">Bug#25578</a>, <a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3781" target="_top">CVE-2007-3781</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
When <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> was run with the
<code class="option">--delete-master-logs</code> option, binary log files
were deleted before it was known that the dump had succeeded,
not after. (The method for removing log files used
<code class="literal">RESET MASTER</code> prior to the dump. This also
reset the binary log sequence numbering to
<code class="literal">.000001</code>.) Now <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span>
flushes the logs (which creates a new binary log number with the
next sequence number), performs the dump, and then uses
<code class="literal">PURGE MASTER LOGS</code> to remove the log files
older than the new one. This also preserves log numbering
because the new log with the next number is generated and only
the preceding logs are removed. However, this may affect
applications if they rely on the log numbering sequence being
reset.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24733" target="_top">Bug#24733</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
The use of an <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> or
<code class="literal">DISTINCT</code> clause with a query containing a
call to the <a href="functions.html#function_group-concat"><code class="literal">GROUP_CONCAT()</code></a>
function caused results from previous queries to be redisplayed
in the current result. The fix for this includes replacing a
<code class="literal">BLOB</code> value used internally for sorting with a
<code class="literal">VARCHAR</code>. This means that for long results
(more than 65,535 bytes), it is possible for truncation to
occur; if so, an appropriate warning is issued.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23856" target="_top">Bug#23856</a>, <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28273" target="_top">Bug#28273</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A corrupt schema file could cause a <span class="errortext">File already
open</span> error.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28770" target="_top">Bug#28770</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Setting <code class="literal">InitialNoOpenFiles</code> equal to
<code class="literal">MaxNoOfOpenFiles</code> caused an error. This was
due to the fact that the actual value of
<code class="literal">MaxNoOfOpenFiles</code> as used by the cluster was
offset by 1 from the value set in
<code class="filename">config.ini</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28749" target="_top">Bug#28749</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">UPDATE IGNORE</code> statements involving the
primary keys of multiple tables could result in data corruption.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28719" target="_top">Bug#28719</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A race condition could result when non-master nodes (in addition
to the master node) tried to update active status due to a local
checkpoint (that is, between <code class="literal">NODE_FAILREP</code> and
<code class="literal">COPY_GCIREQ</code> events). Now only the master
updates the active status.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28717" target="_top">Bug#28717</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A fast global checkpoint under high load with high usage of the
redo buffer caused data nodes to fail.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28653" target="_top">Bug#28653</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
When an API node sent more than 1024 signals in a single batch,
<code class="literal">NDB</code> would process only the first 1024 of
these, and then hang.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28443" target="_top">Bug#28443</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A delay in obtaining <code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> IDs could
lead to excess temporary errors.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28410" target="_top">Bug#28410</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
A failure to release internal resources following an error could
lead to problems with single user mode.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25818" target="_top">Bug#25818</a>)</p></li><li><p>
On the IBM i5 platform, the installation script in the
<code class="filename">.savf</code> binaries unconditionally executed the
<span><strong class="command">mysql_install_db</strong></span> script. This problem was
fixed in a repackaged distribution numbered 5.0.44b.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/30084" target="_top">Bug#30084</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Long pathnames for internal temporary tables could cause stack
overflows.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/29015" target="_top">Bug#29015</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using an <code class="literal">INTEGER</code> column from a table to
<a href="functions.html#function_round"><code class="literal">ROUND()</code></a> a number produced
different results than using a constant with the same value as
the <code class="literal">INTEGER</code> column.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28980" target="_top">Bug#28980</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If a program binds a given number of parameters to a prepared
statement handle and then somehow changes
<code class="literal">stmt->param_count</code> to a different number,
<a href="apis.html#mysql-stmt-execute" title="23.2.7.10. mysql_stmt_execute()"><code class="literal">mysql_stmt_execute()</code></a> could
crash the client or server.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28934" target="_top">Bug#28934</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code> could under
some circumstances silently update rows when it should not have.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28904" target="_top">Bug#28904</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Queries that used <a href="functions.html#function_uuid"><code class="literal">UUID()</code></a> were
incorrectly allowed into the query cache. (This should not
happen because <a href="functions.html#function_uuid"><code class="literal">UUID()</code></a> is
non-deterministic.)
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28897" target="_top">Bug#28897</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using a <code class="literal">VIEW</code> created with a non-existing
<code class="literal">DEFINER</code> could lead to incorrect results under
some circumstances.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28895" target="_top">Bug#28895</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> tables that use the
<code class="literal">utf8</code> character set, incorrect results could
occur for DML statements such as <code class="literal">DELETE</code> or
<code class="literal">UPDATE</code> that use an index on character-based
columns.

On Windows, <code class="literal">USE_TLS</code> was not defined for
<code class="filename">mysqlclient.lib</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28860" target="_top">Bug#28860</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A subquery with <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> and <code class="literal">LIMIT
1</code> could cause a server crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28811" target="_top">Bug#28811</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using <a href="functions.html#operator_between"><code class="literal">BETWEEN</code></a> with non-indexed
date columns and short formats of the date string could return
incorrect results.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28778" target="_top">Bug#28778</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Selecting <code class="literal">GEOMETRY</code> columns in a
<code class="literal">UNION</code> caused a server crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28763" target="_top">Bug#28763</a>)</p></li><li><p>
When constructing the path to the original
<code class="filename">.frm</code> file, <code class="literal">ALTER ..
RENAME</code> was unnecessarily (and incorrectly) lowercasing
the entire path when not on a case-insensitive filesystem,
causing the statement to fail.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28754" target="_top">Bug#28754</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Searches on indexed and non-indexed <code class="literal">ENUM</code>
columns could return different results for empty strings.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28729" target="_top">Bug#28729</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Executing <code class="literal">EXPLAIN EXTENDED</code> on a query using a
derived table over a grouping subselect could lead to a server
crash. This occurred only when materialization of the derived
tables required creation of an auxiliary temporary table, an
example being when a grouping operation was carried out with
usage of a temporary table.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28728" target="_top">Bug#28728</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The result of evaluation for a view's <code class="literal">CHECK
OPTION</code> option over an updated record and records of
merged tables was arbitrary and dependant on the order of
records in the merged tables during the execution of the
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> statement.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28716" target="_top">Bug#28716</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The “<span class="quote">manager thread</span>” of the LinuxThreads
implementation was unintentionally started before
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> had dropped privileges (to run as an
unprivileged user). This caused signaling between threads in
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> to fail when the privileges were
finally dropped.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28690" target="_top">Bug#28690</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For debug builds, <code class="literal">ALTER TABLE</code> could trigger
an assertion failure due to occurrence of a deadlock when
committing changes.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28652" target="_top">Bug#28652</a>)</p></li><li><p>
After an upgrade, the names of stored routines referenced by
views were no longer displayed by <code class="literal">SHOW CREATE
VIEW</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28605" target="_top">Bug#28605</a>)</p><p>This regression was introduced by <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23491" target="_top">Bug#23491</a></p></li><li><p>
Killing from one connection a long-running <code class="literal">EXPLAIN
QUERY</code> started from another connection caused
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> to crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28598" target="_top">Bug#28598</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Outer join queries with <code class="literal">ON</code> conditions over
constant outer tables did not return
<code class="literal">NULL</code>-complemented rows when conditions were
evaluated to <code class="literal">FALSE</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28571" target="_top">Bug#28571</a>)</p></li><li><p>
An update on a multiple-table view with the CHECK OPTION clause
and a subquery in the WHERE condition could cause an assertion
failure.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28561" target="_top">Bug#28561</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">PURGE MASTER LOGS BEFORE
(<em class="replaceable"><code>subquery</code></em>)</code> caused a server
crash. Subqueries are forbidden in the <code class="literal">BEFORE</code>
clause now.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28553" target="_top">Bug#28553</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> calculated the required memory for
a hex-blob string incorrectly causing a buffer overrun. This in
turn caused <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> to crash silently and
produce incomplete output.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28522" target="_top">Bug#28522</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Passing a <code class="literal">DECIMAL</code> value as a parameter of a
statement prepared with <code class="literal">PREPARE</code> resulted in
an error.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28509" target="_top">Bug#28509</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<a href="apis.html#mysql-affected-rows" title="23.2.3.1. mysql_affected_rows()"><code class="literal">mysql_affected_rows()</code></a> could
return an incorrect result for <code class="literal">INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE
KEY UPDATE</code> if the <code class="literal">CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS</code>
flag was set.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28505" target="_top">Bug#28505</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A query that grouped by the result of an expression returned a
different result when the expression was assigned to a user
variable.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28494" target="_top">Bug#28494</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Subselects returning <code class="literal">LONG</code> values in MySQL
versions later than 5.0.24a returned <code class="literal">LONGLONG</code>
prior to this. The previous behavior was restored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28492" target="_top">Bug#28492</a>)</p><p>This regression was introduced by <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/19714" target="_top">Bug#19714</a></p></li><li><p>
Forcing the use of an index on a <code class="literal">SELECT</code> query
when the index had been disabled would raise an error without
running the query. The query now executes, with a warning
generated noting that the use of a disabled index has been
ignored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28476" target="_top">Bug#28476</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The result of executing of a prepared statement created with
<code class="literal">PREPARE s FROM "SELECT 1 LIMIT ?"</code>
was not replicated correctly.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28464" target="_top">Bug#28464</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The query <code class="literal">SELECT '2007-01-01' + INTERVAL
<em class="replaceable"><code>column_name</code></em> DAY FROM
<em class="replaceable"><code>table_name</code></em> </code> caused
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> to fail.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28450" target="_top">Bug#28450</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A server crash could happen under rare conditions such that a
temporary table outgrew heap memory reserved for it and the
remaining disk space was not big enough to store the table as a
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> table.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28449" target="_top">Bug#28449</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysql_upgrade</strong></span> failed if certain SQL modes
were set. Now it sets the mode itself to avoid this problem.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28401" target="_top">Bug#28401</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The test case for <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> failed with
<code class="literal">bin-log</code> disabled.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28372" target="_top">Bug#28372</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Attempting to <code class="literal">LOAD_FILE</code> from an empty floppy
drive under Windows, caused the server to hang. For example, if
you opened a connection to the server and then issued the
command <span><strong class="command">SELECT LOAD_FILE('a:test');</strong></span>, with no
floppy in the drive, the server was inaccessible until the modal
pop-up dialog box was dismissed.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28366" target="_top">Bug#28366</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A buffer overflow could occur when using
<code class="literal">DECIMAL</code> columns on Windows operating systems.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28361" target="_top">Bug#28361</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">libmysql.dll</code> could not be dynamically loaded
on Windows.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28358" target="_top">Bug#28358</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Grouping queries with correlated subqueries in
<code class="literal">WHERE</code> conditions could produce incorrect
results.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28337" target="_top">Bug#28337</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysqltest</strong></span> used a too-large stack size on
PPC/Debian Linux, causing thread-creation failure for tests that
use many threads.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28333" target="_top">Bug#28333</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">EXPLAIN</code> for a query on an empty table
immediately after its creation could result in a server crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28272" target="_top">Bug#28272</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">IS_UPDATABLE</code> column in the
<code class="literal">INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS</code> table was not always
set correctly.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28266" target="_top">Bug#28266</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Comparing a <code class="literal">DATETIME</code> column value with a user
variable yielded incorrect results.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28261" target="_top">Bug#28261</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For <a href="functions.html#function_cast"><code class="literal">CAST()</code></a> of a
<code class="literal">NULL</code> value with type
<code class="literal">DECIMAL</code>, the return value was incorrectly
initialized, producing a runtime error for binaries built using
Visual C++ 2005.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28250" target="_top">Bug#28250</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Recreating a view that already exists on the master would cause
a replicating slave to terminate replication with a 'different
error message on slave and master' error.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28244" target="_top">Bug#28244</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Portability problems caused by use of <code class="literal">isinf()</code>
were corrected.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28240" target="_top">Bug#28240</a>)</p></li><li><p>
When dumping procedures, <span><strong class="command">mysqldump
<code class="option">--compact</code> </strong></span> generated output that
restored the session variable <code class="literal">SQL_MODE</code>
without first capturing it. When dumping routines,
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump <code class="option">--compact</code> </strong></span> neither
set nor retrieved the value of <code class="literal">SQL_MODE</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28223" target="_top">Bug#28223</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Comparison of the string value of a date showed as unequal to
<a href="functions.html#function_curtime"><code class="literal">CURTIME()</code></a>. Similar behavior was
exhibited for <code class="literal">DATETIME</code> values.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28208" target="_top">Bug#28208</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">Bytes_received</code> and

<code class="literal">HASH</code> indexes on <code class="literal">VARCHAR</code>
columns with binary collations did not ignore trailing spaces
from strings before comparisons. This could result in duplicate
records being successfully inserted into a
<code class="literal">MEMORY</code> table with unique key constraints. A
consequence was that internal <code class="literal">MEMORY</code> tables
used for <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> calculation contained
duplicate rows that resulted in duplicate-key errors when
converting those temporary tables to <code class="literal">MyISAM</code>,
and that error was incorrectly reported as a <code class="literal">table is

On some Linux distributions where LinuxThreads and NPTL
<code class="literal">glibc</code> versions both are available, statically
built binaries can crash because the linker defaults to
LinuxThreads when linking statically, but calls to external

NPTL versions. This cannot be worked around in the code, so
instead if a crash occurs on such a binary/OS combination, print

Release Notes for MySQL Enterprise 5.0.42 [MRU] (23 May 2007)</h3></div></div></div><p class="releaselevel">This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>Monthly Rapid Update</em></span> release of the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0.</p><p>
This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.40).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> is now downgraded to a normal
<code class="literal">INSERT</code> if the statement uses functions that
access tables or triggers, or that is called from a function or
a trigger.
</p><p>
This was done to resolve the following interrelated issues:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>
The server could abort or deadlock for <code class="literal">INSERT
DELAYED</code> statements for which another insert was
performed implicitly (for example, via a stored function
that inserted a row).
</p></li><li><p>
A trigger using an <code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code>
caused the error <span class="errortext">INSERT DELAYED can't be used
with table ... because it is locked with LOCK
TABLES</span> although the target table was not
actually locked.
</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> into a table with a
<code class="literal">BEFORE INSERT</code> or <code class="literal">AFTER
INSERT</code> trigger gave an incorrect
<code class="literal">NEW</code> pseudocolumn value and caused the
server to deadlock or abort.
</p></li></ul></div><p>

Prior to this release, when <code class="literal">DATE</code> values were
compared with <code class="literal">DATETIME</code> values the time
portion of the <code class="literal">DATETIME</code> value was ignored.
Now a <code class="literal">DATE</code> value is coerced to the
<code class="literal">DATETIME</code> type by adding the time portion as
“<span class="quote">00:00:00</span>”. To mimic the old behavior use the
CAST() function in the following way: <code class="literal">SELECT
<em class="replaceable"><code>date_field</code></em> = CAST(NOW() as
DATE);</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/28929" target="_top">Bug#28929</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysqld_multi</strong></span> now understands the
<code class="option">--no-defaults</code>,
<code class="option">--defaults-file</code>, and
<code class="literal">--defaults-extra-file</code> options. The
<code class="option">--config-file</code> option is deprecated; if given,
it is treated like <code class="option">--defaults-extra-file</code>.

Creating a temporary table with InnoDB when using the
one-file-per-table setting, and when the host filesystem for
temporary tables was <code class="literal">tmpfs</code>, would cause an
assertion within <code class="literal">mysqld</code>. This was due to the
use of <code class="literal">O_DIRECT</code> when opening the temporary

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26639" target="_top">Bug#26639</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Aborting a statement on the master that applied to a
non-transactional statement broke replication. The statement was
written to the binary log but not completely executed on the
master. Slaves receiving the statement executed it completely,
resulting in loss of data synchrony. Now an error code is
written to the error log so that the slaves stop without
executing the aborted statement. (That is, replication stops,
but synchrony to the point of the stop is preserved and you can
investigate the problem.)

If <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE t1 LIKE t2</code> failed due to a

removes the file if the create operation does not complete

For storage engines that allow the current auto-increment value

This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.38).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The behavior of the <span><strong class="command">ndb_restore</strong></span> utility has
been changed as follows:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>
It is now possible to restore selected databases or tables
using <span><strong class="command">ndb_restore</strong></span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Several options have been added for use with
<span><strong class="command">ndb_restore <code class="option">--print_data</code>
</strong></span> to facilitate the creation of structured data
dump files. These options can be used to make dumps made
using <span><strong class="command">ndb_restore</strong></span> more like those
produced by <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span>.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
For details of these changes, see
<a href="mysql-cluster.html#mysql-cluster-restore" title="16.7.3. ndb_restore — Restore a Cluster Backup">Section 16.7.3, “<span><strong class="command">ndb_restore</strong></span> — Restore a Cluster Backup”</a>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26899" target="_top">Bug#26899</a>, <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26900" target="_top">Bug#26900</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If a set function <em class="replaceable"><code>S</code></em> with an outer
reference <code class="literal">
<em class="replaceable"><code>S</code></em>(<em class="replaceable"><code>outer_ref</code></em>)</code>
cannot be aggregated in the outer query against which the outer
reference has been resolved, MySQL interprets <code class="literal">
<em class="replaceable"><code>S</code></em>(<em class="replaceable"><code>outer_ref</code></em>)</code>
the same way that it would interpret <code class="literal">
<em class="replaceable"><code>S</code></em>(<em class="replaceable"><code>const</code></em>)</code>.
However, standard SQL requires throwing an error in this
situation. An error now is thrown for such queries if the
<code class="literal">ANSI</code> SQL mode is enabled.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/27348" target="_top">Bug#27348</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Added the <code class="option">--service-startup-timeout</code> option for
<span><strong class="command">mysql.server</strong></span> to specify how long to wait for
the server to start. If the server does not start within the
timeout period, <span><strong class="command">mysql.server</strong></span> exits with an
error.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26952" target="_top">Bug#26952</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Prefix lengths for columns in <code class="literal">SPATIAL</code> indexes
are no longer displayed in <code class="literal">SHOW CREATE TABLE</code>
output. <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> uses that statement, so if
a table with <code class="literal">SPATIAL</code> indexes containing
prefixed columns is dumped and reloaded, the index is created
with no prefixes. (The full column width of each column is
indexed.)
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26794" target="_top">Bug#26794</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The output of <span><strong class="command">mysql <code class="option">--xml</code> </strong></span>
and <span><strong class="command">mysqldump <code class="option">--xml</code> </strong></span> now
includes a valid XML namespace.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25946" target="_top">Bug#25946</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If you use SSL for a client connection, you can tell the client
not to authenticate the server certificate by specifying neither
<code class="option">--ssl-ca</code> nor <code class="option">--ssl-capath</code>. The
server still verifies the client according to any applicable
requirements established via <code class="literal">GRANT</code> statements
for the client, and it still uses any
<code class="option">--ssl-ca</code>/<code class="option">--ssl-capath</code> values
that were passed to server at startup time.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25309" target="_top">Bug#25309</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The syntax for index hints has been extended to enable explicit
specification that the hint applies only to join processing. See
<a href="sql-syntax.html#index-hints" title="12.2.7.2. Index Hint Syntax">Section 12.2.7.2, “Index Hint Syntax”</a>.
</p><p>
This is a new fix for this issue, and replaces the fix made in
MySQL 5.0.25 and reverted in 5.0.26.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21174" target="_top">Bug#21174</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <span><strong class="command">mysql_create_system_tables</strong></span> script was
removed because <span><strong class="command">mysql_install_db</strong></span> no longer
uses it in MySQL 5.0.
</p></li></ul></div><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Important Note</strong></span>:
The parser accepted invalid code in SQL condition handlers,
leading to server crashes or unexpected execution behavior in
stored programs. Specifically, the parser allowed a condition
handler to refer to labels for blocks that enclose the handler
declaration. This was incorrect because block label scope does
not include the code for handlers declared within the labeled
block.
</p><p>
The parser now rejects this invalid construct, but if you
upgrade in place (without dumping and reloading your databases),
existing handlers that contain the construct are still invalid
— <span class="emphasis"><em>even if they appear to function as you
expect</em></span> — and should be rewritten.
</p><p>
To find affected handlers, use <span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> to
dump all stored functions and procedures, triggers, and events.
Then attempt to reload them into an upgraded server. Handlers
that contain illegal label references will be rejected.
</p><p>
For more information about condition handlers and writing them
to avoid invalid jumps, see <a href="stored-procedures.html#declare-handlers" title="18.2.8.2. DECLARE Handlers">Section 18.2.8.2, “<code class="literal">DECLARE</code> Handlers”</a>.

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26986" target="_top">Bug#26986</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> processes would sometimes crash under
high load.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26825" target="_top">Bug#26825</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The output from <span><strong class="command">ndb_restore
<code class="option">--print_data</code></strong></span> was incorrect for a
backup made of a database containing tables with
<code class="literal">TINYINT</code> or <code class="literal">SMALLINT</code>
columns.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/26740" target="_top">Bug#26740</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
In some cases, <code class="literal">AFTER UPDATE</code> and
<code class="literal">AFTER DELETE</code> triggers on
<code class="literal">NDB</code> tables that referenced subject table did
not see the results of operation which caused invocation of the
trigger, but rather saw the row as it was prior to the update or
delete operation.
</p><p>
This was most noticeable when an update operation used a
subquery to obtain the rows to be updated. An example would be
<code class="literal">UPDATE tbl1 SET col2 = val1 WHERE tbl1.col1 IN (SELECT
col3 FROM tbl2 WHERE c4 = val2)</code> where there was an
<code class="literal">AFTER UPDATE</code> trigger on table
<code class="literal">tbl1</code>. In such cases, the trigger would fail
to execute.
</p><p>
The problem occurred because the actual update or delete
operations were deferred to be able to perform them later as one
batch. The fix for this bug solves the problem by disabling this
optimization for a given update or delete if the table has an
<code class="literal">AFTER</code> trigger defined for this operation.

(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25275" target="_top">Bug#25275</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
When a cluster data node suffered a “<span class="quote">hard</span>” failure
(such as a power failure or loss of a network connection) TCP
sockets to the missing node were maintained indefinitely. Now
socket-based transporters check for a response and terminate the
socket if there is no activity on the socket after 2 hours.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24793" target="_top">Bug#24793</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:

This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.36).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
The server now includes a timestamp in error messages that are
logged as a result of unhandled signals (such as <code class="literal">mysqld
got signal 11</code> messages).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24878" target="_top">Bug#24878</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Added the <code class="option">--secure-file-priv</code> option for
<span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span>, which limits the effect of the
<a href="functions.html#function_load-file"><code class="literal">LOAD_FILE()</code></a> function and the

OUTFILE</code> statements to work only with files in a given
directory.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/18628" target="_top">Bug#18628</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Added the <code class="literal">hostname</code> system variable, which the
server sets at startup to the server hostname.
</p></li><li><p>
To satisfy different user requirements, we provide several
servers. <span><strong class="command">mysqld</strong></span> is an optimized server that
is a smaller, faster binary. Each package now also includes
<span><strong class="command">mysqld-debug</strong></span>, which is compiled with
debugging support but is otherwise configured identically to the
non-debug server.
</p></li></ul></div><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> statements are not supported
for <code class="literal">MERGE</code> tables, but the
<code class="literal">MERGE</code> storage engine was not rejecting such
statements, resulting in table corruption. Applications
previously using <code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code> into

The <code class="literal">LockPagesInMemory</code> parameter was not read

An <code class="literal">INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code>

For <code class="literal">MERGE</code> tables defined on underlying tables
that contained a short <code class="literal">VARCHAR</code> column
(shorter than four characters), using <code class="literal">ALTER

A view on a join is insertable for <code class="literal">INSERT</code>
statements that store values into only one table of the join.
However, inserts were being rejected if the inserted-into table
was used in a self-join because MySQL incorrectly was
considering the insert to modify multiple tables of the view.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25122" target="_top">Bug#25122</a>)</p></li><li><p>
MySQL would not compile when configured using
<code class="option">--without-query-cache</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25075" target="_top">Bug#25075</a>)</p></li><li><p>
IF(<em class="replaceable"><code>expr</code></em>,
<em class="replaceable"><code>unsigned_expr</code></em>,
<em class="replaceable"><code>unsigned_expr</code></em>) was evaluated to a
signed result, not unsigned. This has been corrected. The fix
also affects constructs of the form <code class="literal">IS [NOT]
{TRUE|FALSE}</code>, which were transformed internally into
<a href="functions.html#function_if"><code class="literal">IF()</code></a> expressions that evaluated
to a signed result.
</p><p>
For existing views that were defined using <code class="literal">IS [NOT]
{TRUE|FALSE}</code> constructs, there is a related
implication. The definitions of such views were stored using the
<a href="functions.html#function_if"><code class="literal">IF()</code></a> expression, not the
original construct. This is manifest in that <code class="literal">SHOW
CREATE VIEW</code> shows the transformed
<a href="functions.html#function_if"><code class="literal">IF()</code></a> expression, not the
original one. Existing views will evaluate correctly after the
fix, but if you want <code class="literal">SHOW CREATE VIEW</code> to
display the original construct, you must drop the view and
re-create it using its original definition. New views will
retain the construct in their definition.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24532" target="_top">Bug#24532</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">DROP TRIGGER</code> statements would not be filtered
on the slave when using the
<code class="literal">replication-wild-do-table</code> option.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24478" target="_top">Bug#24478</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For <code class="literal">INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE</code>
statements where some <code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> values
were generated automatically for inserts and some rows were
updated, one auto-generated value was lost per updated row,
leading to faster exhaustion of the range of the
<code class="literal">AUTO_INCREMENT</code> column.
</p><p>
Because the original problem can affect replication (different
values on master and slave), it is recommended that the master
and its slaves be upgraded to the current version.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24432" target="_top">Bug#24432</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A user-defined variable could be assigned an incorrect value if

<code class="literal">IN ((<em class="replaceable"><code>subquery</code></em>))</code>,
<code class="literal">IN (((<em class="replaceable"><code>subquery</code></em>)))</code>,
and so forth, are equivalent to <code class="literal">IN
(<em class="replaceable"><code>subquery</code></em>)</code>, which is always
interpreted as a table subquery (so that it is allowed to return
more than one row). MySQL was treating the
“<span class="quote">over-parenthesized</span>” subquery as a single-row
subquery and rejecting it if it returned more than one row. This
bug primarily affected automatically generated code (such as
queries generated by Hibernate), because humans rarely write the
over-parenthesized forms.

An <code class="literal">INSERT</code> trigger invoking a stored routine

For index reads, the <code class="literal">BLACKHOLE</code> engine did not
return end-of-file (which it must because

When attempting to call a stored procedure creating a table from
a trigger on a table <code class="literal">tbl</code> in a database
<code class="literal">db</code>, the trigger failed with <span class="errortext">ERROR
1146 (42S02): Table 'db.tbl' doesn't exist</span>. However,
the actual reason that such a trigger fails is due to the fact
that <code class="literal">CREATE TABLE</code> causes an implicit
<code class="literal">COMMIT</code>, and so a trigger cannot invoke a
stored routine containing this statement. A trigger which does
so now fails with <span class="errortext">ERROR 1422 (HY000): Explicit or
implicit commit is not allowed in stored function or

For <code class="literal">ENUM</code> columns that had enumeration values
containing commas, the commas were mapped to
<code class="literal">0xff</code> internally. However, this rendered the
commas indistinguishable from true <code class="literal">0xff</code>
characters in the values. This no longer occurs. However, the
fix requires that you dump and reload any tables that have
<code class="literal">ENUM</code> columns containing any true
<code class="literal">0xff</code> values. Dump the tables using
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump</strong></span> with the current server before
upgrading from a version of MySQL 5.0 older than 5.0.36 to
version 5.0.36 or newer.

If an <code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> or <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code>
list included a constant expression being optimized away and, at
the same time, containing single-row subselects that returned
more that one row, no error was reported. If a query required
sorting by expressions containing single-row subselects that
returned more than one row, execution of the query could cause a

This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.32).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
The <code class="option">--skip-thread-priority</code> option now is
enabled by default for binary Mac OS X distributions. Use of
thread priorities degrades performance on Mac OS X.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/18526" target="_top">Bug#18526</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Added the <code class="option">--disable-grant-options</code> option to
<span><strong class="command">configure</strong></span>. If <span><strong class="command">configure</strong></span> is
run with this option, the <code class="option">--bootstrap</code>,

Windows, the <span><strong class="command">configure.js</strong></span> script recognizes
the <code class="literal">DISABLE_GRANT_OPTIONS</code> flag, which has the
same effect.
</p></li></ul></div><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Hosts in clusters with large numbers of nodes could experience
excessive CPU usage while obtaining configuration data.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25711" target="_top">Bug#25711</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
When a data node was shut down using the management client
<code class="literal">STOP</code> command, a connection event
(<code class="literal">NDB_LE_Connected</code>) was logged instead of a
disconnection event (<code class="literal">NDB_LE_Disconnected</code>).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22773" target="_top">Bug#22773</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Cluster API</strong></span>:
Invoking the <code class="literal">NdbTransaction::execute()</code> method
using execution type <code class="literal">Commit</code> and abort option
<code class="literal">AO_IgnoreError</code> could lead to a crash of the
transaction coordinator (<code class="literal">DBTC</code>).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25090" target="_top">Bug#25090</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Cluster API</strong></span>:
A unique index lookup on a non-existent tuple could lead to a
data node timeout (error 4012).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25059" target="_top">Bug#25059</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Referencing an ambiguous column alias in an expression in the
<code class="literal">ORDER BY</code> clause of a query caused the server
to crash.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25427" target="_top">Bug#25427</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Using a view in combination with a <code class="literal">USING</code>
clause caused column aliases to be ignored.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25106" target="_top">Bug#25106</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A multiple-table <code class="literal">DELETE QUICK</code> could sometimes
cause one of the affected tables to become corrupted.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25048" target="_top">Bug#25048</a>)</p></li><li><p>
An assertion failed incorrectly for prepared statements that
contained a single-row uncorrelated subquery that was used as an
argument of the <a href="functions.html#operator_is-null"><code class="literal">IS NULL</code></a>
predicate.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/25027" target="_top">Bug#25027</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Optimizations that are legal only for subqueries without tables
and <code class="literal">WHERE</code> conditions were applied for any
subquery without tables.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24670" target="_top">Bug#24670</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Some joins in which one of the joined tables was a view could
return erroneous results or crash the server.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24345" target="_top">Bug#24345</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A view was not handled correctly if the
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> part contained “<span class="quote">
<code class="literal">\Z</code> </span>”.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24293" target="_top">Bug#24293</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The server was built even when <span><strong class="command">configure</strong></span> was
run with the <code class="option">--without-server</code> option.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23973" target="_top">Bug#23973</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">OPTIMIZE TABLE</code> tried to sort R-tree indexes
such as spatial indexes, although this is not possible (see
<a href="sql-syntax.html#optimize-table" title="12.5.2.5. OPTIMIZE TABLE Syntax">Section 12.5.2.5, “<code class="literal">OPTIMIZE TABLE</code> Syntax”</a>).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23578" target="_top">Bug#23578</a>)</p></li><li><p>
User-defined variables could consume excess memory, leading to a
crash caused by the exhaustion of resources available to the
<code class="literal">MEMORY</code> storage engine, due to the fact that
this engine is used by MySQL for variable storage and
intermediate results of <code class="literal">GROUP BY</code> queries.
Where <code class="literal">SET</code> had been used, such a condition
could instead give rise to the misleading error message
<span class="errortext">You may only use constant expressions with
SET</span>, rather than <span class="errortext">Out of memory (Needed
NNNNNN bytes)</span>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23443" target="_top">Bug#23443</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A table created with the <code class="literal">ROW_FORMAT = FIXED</code>
table option lost the option if an index was added or dropped
with <code class="literal">CREATE INDEX</code> or <code class="literal">DROP
INDEX</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23404" target="_top">Bug#23404</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A deadlock could occur, with the server hanging on
<code class="literal">Closing tables</code>, with a sufficient number of
concurrent <code class="literal">INSERT DELAYED</code>, <code class="literal">FLUSH
TABLES</code>, and <code class="literal">ALTER TABLE</code> operations.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23312" target="_top">Bug#23312</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A compressed <code class="literal">MyISAM</code> table that became
corrupted could crash <span><strong class="command">myisamchk</strong></span> and possibly
the MySQL Server.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23139" target="_top">Bug#23139</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Changing the value of <code class="literal">MI_KEY_BLOCK_LENGTH</code> in
<code class="filename">myisam.h</code> and recompiling MySQL resulted in
a <span><strong class="command">myisamchk</strong></span> that saw existing
<code class="literal">MyISAM</code> tables as corrupt.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22119" target="_top">Bug#22119</a>)</p></li><li><p>
A crash of the MySQL Server could occur when unpacking a
<code class="literal">BLOB</code> column from a row in a corrupted MyISAM
table. This could happen when trying to repair a table using
either <code class="literal">REPAIR TABLE</code> or
<span><strong class="command">myisamchk</strong></span>; it could also happen when trying
to access such a “<span class="quote">broken</span>” row using statements like
<code class="literal">SELECT</code> if the table was not marked as
crashed.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22053" target="_top">Bug#22053</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> storage engine did not support
the <code class="literal">euckr</code> character set.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21556" target="_top">Bug#21556</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="filename">mysqld_error.h</code> was not installed when only
the client libraries were built.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21265" target="_top">Bug#21265</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code>: During a restart of the MySQL Server
that followed the creation of a temporary table using the
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> storage engine, MySQL failed to clean
up in such a way that <code class="literal">InnoDB</code> still attempted
to find the files associated with such tables.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/20867" target="_top">Bug#20867</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Some <code class="literal">CASE</code> statements inside stored routines
could lead to excessive resource usage or a crash of the server.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/19194" target="_top">Bug#19194</a>, <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24854" target="_top">Bug#24854</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Instance Manager could crash during shutdown.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/19044" target="_top">Bug#19044</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">FEDERATED</code> storage engine did not support
the <code class="literal">utf8</code> character set.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/17044" target="_top">Bug#17044</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The optimizer removes expressions from <code class="literal">GROUP
BY</code> and <code class="literal">DISTINCT</code> clauses if they
happen to participate in <code class="literal">
<em class="replaceable"><code>expression</code></em> =
<em class="replaceable"><code>constant</code></em> </code> predicates of the
<code class="literal">WHERE</code> clause, the idea being that, if the
expression is equal to a constant, then it cannot take on
multiple values. However, for predicates where the expression
and the constant item are of different result types (for
example, when a string column is compared to 0), this is not
valid, and can lead to invalid results in such cases. The
optimizer now performs an additional check of the result types
of the expression and the constant; if their types differ, then
the expression is not removed from the <code class="literal">GROUP
BY</code> list.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/15881" target="_top">Bug#15881</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Dropping a user-defined function sometimes did not remove the
UDF entry from the <code class="literal">mysql.proc</code> table.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/15439" target="_top">Bug#15439</a>)</p></li><li><p>
Inserting a row into a table without specifying a value for a
<code class="literal">BINARY(<em class="replaceable"><code>N</code></em>) NOT NULL</code>
column caused the column to be set to spaces, not zeroes.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/14171" target="_top">Bug#14171</a>)</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="releasenotes-es-5-0-32"></a>C.1.14. Release Notes for MySQL Enterprise 5.0.32 [MRU] (20 December 2006)</h3></div></div></div><p class="releaselevel">This is a <span class="emphasis"><em>Monthly Rapid Update</em></span> release of the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0.</p><p>
This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.30).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> rolls back only the last statement on
a transaction timeout. A new option,
<code class="option">--innodb_rollback_on_timeout</code>, causes
<code class="literal">InnoDB</code> to abort and roll back the entire
transaction if a transaction timeout occurs (the same behavior
as in MySQL 5.0.13 and earlier).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24200" target="_top">Bug#24200</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>Incompatible Change</strong></span>:
The <code class="literal">prepared_stmt_count</code> system variable has
been converted to the <code class="literal">Prepared_stmt_count</code>
global status variable (viewable with the <code class="literal">SHOW GLOBAL
STATUS</code> statement).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23159" target="_top">Bug#23159</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Setting the configuration parameter
<code class="literal">LockPagesInMainMemory</code> had no effect.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/24461" target="_top">Bug#24461</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
It is now possible to create a unique hashed index on a column
that is not defined as <code class="literal">NOT NULL</code>.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
This change applies only to tables using the
<code class="literal">NDB</code> storage engine.
</p></div><p>
Unique indexes on columns in <code class="literal">NDB</code> tables do
not store null values because they are mapped to primary keys in
an internal index table (and primary keys cannot contain nulls).
</p><p>
Normally, an additional ordered index is created when one
creates unique indexes on <code class="literal">NDB</code> table columns;
this can be used to search for <code class="literal">NULL</code> values.
However, if <code class="literal">USING HASH</code> is specified when such
an index is created, no ordered index is created.
</p><p>
The reason for permitting unique hash indexes with null values
is that, in some cases, the user wants to save space if a large
number of records are pre-allocated but not fully initialized.
This also assumes that the user will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span>
try to search for null values. Since MySQL does not support
indexes that are not allowed to be searched in some cases, the
<code class="literal">NDB</code> storage engine uses a full table scan
with pushed conditions for the referenced index columns to
return the correct result.
</p><p>
A warning is returned if one creates a unique nullable hash
index, since the query optimizer should be provided a hint not
to use it with <code class="literal">NULL</code> values if this can be
avoided.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21507" target="_top">Bug#21507</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">DROP TRIGGER</code> now supports an <code class="literal">IF
EXISTS</code> clause.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/23703" target="_top">Bug#23703</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="literal">Com_create_user</code> status variable was added
(for counting <code class="literal">CREATE USER</code> statements).
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22958" target="_top">Bug#22958</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="option">--memlock</code> option relies on system calls
that are unreliable on some operating systems. If a crash
occurs, the server now checks whether <code class="option">--memlock</code>
was specified and if so issues some information about possible
workarounds.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22860" target="_top">Bug#22860</a>)</p></li><li><p>
The bundled yaSSL library was upgraded to version 1.5.0.
</p></li></ul></div><p>Bugs fixed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:

This section documents all changes and bug fixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Enterprise Server release (5.0.28).
</p><p>Functionality added or changed:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The <span><strong class="command">ndb_config</strong></span> utility now accepts
<code class="option">-c</code> as a short form of the
<code class="option">--ndb-connectstring</code> option.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22295" target="_top">Bug#22295</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
Added the --bind-address option for <span><strong class="command">ndbd</strong></span>.
This allows a data node process to be bound to a specific
network interface.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/22195" target="_top">Bug#22195</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The <code class="literal">NDB</code> storage engine could leak memory
during file operations.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21858" target="_top">Bug#21858</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The <code class="literal">Ndb_number_of_storage_nodes</code> system
variable was renamed to
<code class="literal">Ndb_number_of_data_nodes</code>.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/20848" target="_top">Bug#20848</a>)</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>MySQL Cluster</strong></span>:
The <code class="literal">HELP</code> command in the Cluster management
client now provides command-specific help. For example,
<code class="literal">HELP RESTART</code> in <span><strong class="command">ndb_mgm</strong></span>
provides detailed information about the
<code class="literal">RESTART</code> command.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/19620" target="_top">Bug#19620</a>)</p></li><li><p>
If the user specified the server options
<code class="option">--max-connections=<em class="replaceable"><code>N</code></em> </code>
or <code class="option">--table-open-cache=<em class="replaceable"><code>M</code></em>
</code>, a warning would be given in some cases that some
values were recalculated, with the result that
<code class="option">--table-open-cache</code> could be assigned greater
value.
</p><p>
It should be noted that, in such cases, both the warning and the
increase in the <code class="option">--table-open-cache</code> 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.
</p><p>
The recalculation code has now been fixed to ensure that the
value of <code class="option">--table-open-cache</code> is no longer
increased automatically, and that a warning is now given only if
some values had to be decreased due to operating system limits.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21915" target="_top">Bug#21915</a>)</p></li><li><p>
For the <code class="literal">CALL</code> statement, stored procedures
that take no arguments now can be invoked without parentheses.
That is, <code class="literal">CALL p()</code> and <code class="literal">CALL
p</code> are equivalent.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/21462" target="_top">Bug#21462</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">mysql_upgrade</code> now passes all the parameters
specified on the command line to both

the <code class="filename">upgrade_defaults</code> file.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/20100" target="_top">Bug#20100</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<code class="literal">SHOW STATUS</code> is no longer logged to the slow
query log.
(<a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/19764" target="_top">Bug#19764</a>)</p></li><li><p>
<span><strong class="command">mysqldump --single-transaction</strong></span> now uses

Lack of validation for input and output <code class="literal">TIME</code>
values resulted in several problems:
<a href="functions.html#function_sec-to-time"><code class="literal">SEC_TO_TIME()</code></a> within subqueries
incorrectly clipped large values;
<a href="functions.html#function_sec-to-time"><code class="literal">SEC_TO_TIME()</code></a> treated
<code class="literal">BIGINT UNSIGNED</code> values as signed; only
truncation warnings were produced when both truncation and
out-of-range <code class="literal">TIME</code> values occurred.
