    • Revision #2502.567.222 Wed 2014-04-16 22:34:52 -0700
      • Fixed bugs MDEV-5927 and MDEV-6116. Both bugs are caused by the same problem: the function optimize_cond() should update the value of *cond_equal rather than the value of join->cond_equal, because it is called not only for the WHERE condition, but for the HAVING condition as well.
  • Revision #4155 Thu 2014-04-17 02:12:08 +0500
    • MDEV-6124 Audit plugin fails with the Percona-Server 5.6. Some lines of code in file_logger.c were lost while moving to the general MariaDB tree. Adding them.
  • Revision #4154 Tue 2014-04-15 20:41:08 +0500
    • MDEV-4856 SQL_ERROR_LOG shows 1146 errors which didnt appear in mysql client. The fill_schema_table() function used to call get_table_share() for a table name in WHERE then clear the error list. That way plugins receive the superfluous error notification if it happens in it. Also the problem was that error handler didn't prevent the suppressed error message from logging anyway as the logging happens in THD::raise_condition before the handler call. Trigger_error_handler is remade into Warnings_only_error_handler, so it stores the error message in all cases in the thd->stmt_da. Then later the stored error is raised.
  • Revision #4153 Tue 2014-04-15 18:17:47 +0500
    • MDEV-5138 Numerous test failures in "mtr --ps --embedded". If a prepared statement calls an stored procedure, the thd->server_status out of the SP goes up to the PS and then to the client. So that the client gets the SERVER_STATUS_CURSOR_EXISTS status if the SP uses a cursor. Which makes the embedded server fail. Fixed by saving/restoring the upper-level server_status in sp_head::execute().
  • Revision #4152 Tue 2014-04-15 18:16:47 +0500
    • MDEV-5138 Numerous test failures in "mtr --ps --embedded". Thread can be disconnected internally for example after COMMIT statements. So we should check this for the statement execution.
  • Revision #4151 Tue 2014-04-15 18:12:25 +0500
    • MDEV-5138 Numerous test failures in "mtr --ps --embedded". mysqltest in the 'embedded-server' mode runs queries in a separate thread, but it didn't do so for the prepared statements - they were run in the main thread. That leads to inconsistencies. When a test sets SESSION 'dbug' variable like SET SESSION debug_dbug="+d,warn_during_ha_commit_trans"; it is run as a plain query in that separate thread, so the main thread remains unaffected. After that the prepared statement run in the main thread doesn't produce expected 'dbug' errors, so the test fails. To fix that I made prepared statement to be run in that special thread along with the plain queries. That makes the environment consistent.
  • Revision #4150 Tue 2014-04-15 18:09:58 +0500
    • MDEV-5138 Numerous test failures in "mtr --ps --embedded". As Davi added code like sav_protocol= thd->protocol thd->protocol= &thd->protocol_binary ... thd->protocol= sav_protocol the fucntions like emb_store_querycache_result() cannot determine the used protocol testing thd->protocol == &thd->protocol_binary. Fixed by additional check thd->command == COM_STMT_EXECUTE.
  • Revision #4149 Tue 2014-04-15 18:08:33 +0500
    • MDEV-5138 Numerous test failures in "mtr --ps --embedded". The function Protocol::net_store_data(a, b, CHARSET_A, CHARSET_B) should be adapted to be working in the embedded server as it's done with the Protocol::net_store_data(a, b). That new function renamed as net_store_data_cs, so we can make it virtual.
