MySQL 4.1.11 がリリースされました。


以下チェンジログ





■機能の追加と変更：

- ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY no longer is included in the ANSI composite SQL mode. (Bug #8510)

- mysqld_safe will create the directory where the UNIX socket file is to be located if the directory does not exist. This applies only to the last component of the directory pathname. (Bug #8513)

- The coercibility for the return value of functions such as USER() or VERSION() now is ``system constant'' rather than ``implicit.'' This makes these functions more coercible than column values so that comparisons of the two do not result in Illegal mix of collations errors. COERCIBILITY() was modified to accommodate this new coercibility value. See section 12.8.3 Information Functions.

- User variable coercibility has been changed from ``coercible'' to ``implicit.'' That is, user variables have the same coercibility as column values.

- NULL now is considered more coercible than string constants. This resolves some Illegal mix of collations conflicts.

- Modified the parser to allow SELECT statements following the UNION keyword to be subqueries in parentheses. (Bug #2435)

- For slave replication servers started with --replicate-* options, statements that should not be replicated according those options no longer are written to the slave's general query log. (Bug #8297)

- Added SQL_NOTES session variable to cause Note-level warnings not to be recorded. (Bug #6662)

- InnoDB: Commit after every 10,000 copied rows when executing CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX or OPTIMIZE TABLE, which are internally implemented as ALTER TABLE. This makes it much faster to recover from an aborted operation.

- Added a new global system variable slave_transaction_retries: If the replication slave SQL thread fails to execute a transaction because of an InnoDB deadlock or exceeded InnoDB's innodb_lock_wait_timeout or NDBCluster's TransactionDeadlockDetectionTimeout or TransactionInactiveTimeout, it automatically retries slave_transaction_retries times before stopping with an error. The default in MySQL 4.1 is 0. You must explicitly set the value greater than 0 to enable the ``retry'' behavior. (In MySQL 5.0.3 or newer, the default is 10.) (Bug #8325)

- Added --with-big-tables compilation option to configure. (Previously it was necessary to pass -DBIG_TABLES to the compiler manually in order to enable large table support.) See section 2.8.2 Typical configure Options for details.

- Added configuration directives !include and !includedir for including option files and searching directories for option files. See section 4.3.2 Using Option Files for usage.



■バグ修正：

- Fixed a server crash caused by use of NOW() is a subquery. (Bug #8824)

- Fixed problems with static variables to allow building on Fedora Core 3. (Bug #6554)

- Some user variables were not being handled with ``implicit'' coercibility. (Bug #9425)

- Setting the max_error_count system variable to 0 resulted in a setting of 1. (Bug #9072)

- Fixed a collation coercibility problem that caused a union between binary and non-binary columns to fail. (Bug #6519)

- Fixed a problem with the tee command in mysql that resulted in mysql crashing. (Bug #8499)

- On Windows, create shared memory objects with the proper access rights to make them usable when the client and server are running under different accounts. (Bug #8226)

- Bundled zlib in the source distribution was upgraded to 1.2.2. (Bug #9118)

- Fixed server crash resulting from queries that combined SELECT DISTINCT, SUM(), and ROLLUP. (Bug #8615)

- Incorrect results were returned from queries that combined SELECT DISTINCT, GROUP BY , and ROLLUP. (Bug #8616)

- Fixed a bug that under certain circumstances could allow a privilege escalation via database wildcards in GRANT. (CAN-2004-0957)

- Too many rows were returned from queries that combined ROLLUP and LIMIT if SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS was given. (Bug #8617)

- mysqldump misinterpreted `_' and `%' characters in the names of tables to be dumped as wildcard characters. (Bug #9123)

- Made the relay_log_space_limit system variable show up in the output of SHOW VARIABLES. (Bug #7100)

- Use of GROUP_CONCAT(x) in a subquery, where x was an alias to a column in the outer query, resulted in a server crash. (Bug #8656)

- The CHARSET(), COLLATION(), and COERCIBILITY() functions sometimes returned NULL. CHARSET() and COLLATION() returned NULL when given any of these arguments that evaluated to NULL: A system function such as DATABASE(); a column value; and a user variable. Now CHARSET() and COLLATION() return the system character set and collation; the column character set and collation; and binary. COERCIBILITY(NULL) now returns ``ignorable'' coercibility rather than NULL. (Bug #9129)

- Expressions involving nested CONCAT() calls and character set conversion of string constants could return an incorrect result. (Bug #8785)

- The MEMORY storage engine did not properly increment an AUTO_INCREMENT column if there was a second composite index that included the column. (Bug #8489)

- Fixed a bug in the filesort routine such that killing a filesort could cause an assertion failure. (Bug #8799)

- REPAIR TABLE did not invalidate query results in the query cache that were generated from the table. (Bug #8480)

- If max_join_size was set, a query containing a subquery that exceeded the examined-rows limit could hang. (Bug #8726)

- Mixed-case database and table names in the grant tables were ignored for authentication if the lower_case_table_names system variable was set. GRANT will not create such privileges when lower_case_table_names is set, but it is possible to create them by direct manipulation of the grant tables, or that old grant records were present before setting the variable. (Bug #7989)

- AES_DECRYPT(col_name,key) could fail to return NULL for invalid values in col_name, if col_name was declared as NOT NULL. (Bug #8669)

- Ordering by unsigned expression (more complex than a column reference) was treating the value as signed, producing incorrectly sorted results. (Bug #7425)

- HAVING was treating unsigned columns as signed. (Bug #7425)

- Fixed a problem with boolean full-text searches on utf8 columns where a double quote in the search string caused a server crash. (Bug #8351)

- MIN(col_name) and MAX(col_name) could fail to produce the correct result if col_name was contained in multiple indexes and the optimizer did not choose the first index that contained the column. (Bug #8893)

- Table creation for a MyISAM table failed if DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX DIRECTORY options were given that specified the pathname to the database directory where the table files would be created by default. (Bug #8707)

- Fixed a problem with LIKE pattern-matching for strings with the cp1251_bin binary collation. (Bug #8560)

- A join on two tables failed when each contained a BIGINT UNSIGNED column that were compared when their values exceeded 2^63 - 1. The match failed and the join returned no rows. (Bug #8562)

- For a query with both GROUP BY and COUNT(DISTINCT) clauses and a FROM clause with a subquery, NULL was returned for any VARCHAR column selected by the subquery. (Bug #8218)

- Fixed an optimizer bug that caused incorrectly ordered result from a query that used a FULLTEXT index to retrieve rows and there was another index that was usable for ORDER BY. For such a query, EXPLAIN showed fulltext join type, but regular (not FULLTEXT) index in the Key column. (Bug #6635)

- For a statement string that contained multiple slow queries, only the last one would be written to the slow query log. (Bug #8475)

- When the server was started with --skip-name-resolve, specifying hostname values that included netmasks in GRANT statements did not work. (Bug #8471)

- The --set-character-set option for myisamchk was changed to --set-collation. The value needed for specifying how to sort indexes is a collation name, not a character set name. (Bug #8349)

- Hostname matching didn't work if a netmask was specified for table-specific privileges. (Bug #3309)

- Binary data stored in BLOB or BINARY columns would be erroneously dumped if mysqldump was invoked with --hex-blob and --skip-extended-insert arguments. This happened if data contained characters larger then 0x7F (Bug #8830).

- Corruption of MyISAM table indexes could occur with TRUNCATE TABLE if the table had already been opened. For example, this was possible if the table had been opened implicitly by selecting from a MERGE table that mapped to the MyISAM table. The server now issues an error message for TRUNCATE TABLE under these conditions. (Bug #8306)

- Fixed handling of table-name matching in mysqlhotcopy to accommodate DBD::mysql 2.9003 and up (which implement identifier quoting). (Bug #8136)

- In the mysql_real_escape_string() C API function, when a multi-byte character is encountered that is illegal in the current character set, escape only the first byte, not each byte. This avoids creating a valid character from an invalid one. (Bug #8378)

- Fixed a problem with the cp1250_czech_cs collation that caused empty literal strings not to compare equal to empty character columns. (Bug #8840)

- Fixed a problem in index cost calculation that caused a USE INDEX or FORCE INDEX hint not to be used properly for a LEFT JOIN across indexed BLOB columns. (Bug #7520)

- The column type for MAX(datetime_col) was returned as VARCHAR rather than DATETIME if the query included a GROUP BY clause. (Bug #5615)

- FOUND_ROWS() returned an incorrect value for preceding SELECT statements that used no table or view. (Bug #6089)

- In string literals with an escape character (`\') followed by a multi-byte character that has a second byte of `\', the literal was not interpreted correctly. The next character now is escaped, not just the next byte. (Bug #8303)

- InnoDB: Work around a problem in AIX 5.1 patched with ML7 security patch: InnoDB would refuse to open its `ibdata' files, complaining about an operating system error 0.

- InnoDB: Fixed a memory corruption bug if one created a table with a primary key that contained at least two column prefixes. An example: CREATE TABLE t(a char(100), b tinyblob, PRIMARY KEY(a(5), b(10))).

- InnoDB: Do not try to space-pad BLOB columns containing ucs2 characters. This avoids an assertion failure that was introduced when fixing Bug #7350. (Bug #8771)

- InnoDB: Fixed a bug: MySQL-4.1.8 - 4.1.10 could complain that an InnoDB table created with MySQL-3.23.49 or earlier was in the new compact InnoDB table format of 5.0.3 or later, and InnoDB would refuse to use that table. There is nothing wrong with the table, it is mysqld that is in error. Workaround: wait that 4.1.11 is released before doing an upgrade, or dump the table and recreate it with any MySQL version >= 3.23.50 before upgrading.

- InnoDB: Honor the --tmpdir startup option when creating temporary files. Previously, InnoDB temporary files were always created in the temporary directory of the operating system. On Netware, InnoDB will continue to ignore --tmpdir. (Bug #5822)

- mysqldump now avoids writing SET NAMES to the dump output if the server is older than version 4.1 and would not understand that statement. (Bug #7997)

- Fixed a bug in my_print_defaults that made it ignore the --defaults-extra-file and --defaults-file options.

- Retrieving from a view defined as a SELECT that mixed UNION ALL and UNION DISTINCT resulted in a different result than retrieving from the original SELECT. (Bug #6565)

- Worked around a bug in support for NSS support in glibc when static linking is used and LDAP is one of the NSS sources. The workaround is to detect when the bug causes a segfault and issue a diagnostic message with information about the problem. (Bug #3037, Bug #4872)

- If the mysql prompt was configured to display the default database name, and that database was dropped, mysql did not update the prompt. (Bug #4802)

- perror was printing a spurious extra line of output ("Error code ###: Unknown error ###" printed directly before the correct line with the error message). (Bug #8517)

- The CHAR() function was not ignoring NULL arguments, contrary to the documentation. (Bug #6317)

- Neither SHOW ERRORS nor SHOW WARNINGS were displaying Error-level messages. (Bug #6572)

- Creating a table using a name containing a character that is illegal in character_set_client resulted in the character being stripped from the name and no error. The character now is considered an error. (Bug #8041)

- Fixed a problem with the Cyrillic letters I and SHORT I being treated the same by the utf8_general_ci collation. (Bug #8385)

- The MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR resource limit was not being reset hourly and thus imposed an absolute limit on number of connections per account until the server is restarted or the limits flushed. (Bug #8350)

- With a database was dropped with lower_case_table_names=2, tables in the database also were dropped but not being flushed properly from the table cache. If the database was recreated, the tables also would appear to have been recreated. (Bug #8355)

- Changed mysql_server_end() C API function to restore more variables to their initial state so that a subsequent call to mysql_server_init() would not cause a client program crash. (Bug #7344)

- Fixed a problem with accented letters improperly being treated as distinct with the utf_general_ci collation. (Bug #7878)

- ENUM and SET columns in privilege tables incorrectly had a case-sensitive collation, resulting in failure of assignments of values that did not have the same lettercase as given in the column definitions. The collation was changed to be case insensitive. (Bug #7617)

- An expression that tested a case-insensitive character column against string constants that differed in lettercase could fail because the constants were treated as having a binary collation. (For example, WHERE city='London' AND city='london' could fail.) (Bug #7098, Bug #8690)

- The output of the STATUS (\s) command in mysql had the values for the server and client character sets reversed. (Bug #7571)

- If the slave was running with --replicate-*-table options which excluded one temporary table and included another, and the two tables were used in a single DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS statement, as the ones the master automatically writes to its binary log upon client's disconnection when client has not explicitly dropped these, the slave could forget to delete the included replicated temporary table. Only the slave needs to be upgraded. (Bug #8055)

- Treat user variables as having IMPLICIT derivation (coercibility) to avoid ``Illegal mix of collations'' errors when replicating user variables. (Bug #6676)

- When setting integer system variables to a negative value with SET VARIABLES, the value was treated as a positive value modulo 2^32. (Bug #6958)

- Fixed a bug in bundled readline library that caused segmentation fault in mysql when user entered Shift+Enter. (Bug #5672)

- Fix conversion of strings -> double to get higher accuracy for floating point values that are integers, like: 123.45E+02 (Bug #7840).

- Fixed a bug in MATCH ... AGAINST in natural language mode that could cause a server crash if the FULLTEXT index was not used in a join (EXPLAIN did not show fulltext join mode) and the search query matched no rows in the table (Bug #8522).

- Platform and architecture information in version information produced for --version option on Windows was always Win95/Win98 (i32). More accurately determine platform as Win32 or Win64 for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, and architecture as ia32 for x86, ia64 for Itanium, and axp for Alpha. (Bug #4445)

- Fixed a rare race condition which could lead to FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK hanging. (Bug #8682)

- Fixed a bug that caused the slave to stop on statements that produced an error on the master. (Bug #8412)

- If multiple semicolon-separated statements were received in a single packet, they were written to the binary log as a single event rather than as separate per-statement events. For a server serving as a replication master, this caused replication to fail when the event was sent to slave servers. (Bug #8436)
