[This is part 2 of the announcement]

Bugs Fixed


     * Important Change: Importing a dump from a MySQL 5.7
       server to a server running MySQL 8.0 often failed with
       ER_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_VAR when an SQL mode not supported by
       the 8.0 server was used. This could happen frequently due
       to the fact that NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER is enabled by
       default in MySQL 5.7 but not supported in MySQL 8.0.
       The behavior of the server in such circumstances now
       depends on the setting of the pseudo_slave_mode system
       variable. If this is false, the server rejects the mode
       setting with ER_UNSUPPORTED_SQL_MODE. If
       pseudo_slave_mode is true, the server ignores the
       unsupported mode and gives a warning. Note that
       mysqlbinlog sets pseudo_slave_mode to true prior to
       executing any SQL. (Bug #90337, Bug #27828236)

     * InnoDB: MySQL would not start on Solaris X86. The static
       thread-local 'tables' variable in the TempTable storage
       engine was not properly initialized. (Bug #28987365)

     * InnoDB: Latching logic used during deadlock detection was
       simplified. (Bug #28904966)

     * InnoDB: An invalid record offset for an old version of a
       clustered index record raised a debug assertion. (Bug
       #28825617)
       References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #25540277.

     * InnoDB: The minimum DML delay imposed when the length of
       the history list exceeds innodb_max_purge_lag was
       decreased from 5000 microseconds to 5 microseconds. (Bug
       #28813453)

     * InnoDB: An incorrect lock order caused a deadlock when
       one thread attempted to drop a table while another
       created an encrypted tablespace. (Bug #28774259)

     * InnoDB: ALTER TABLESPACE failed to ignore unsupported
       tablespace attributes. (Bug #28656611)

     * InnoDB: Implicit to explicit lock conversion logic was
       simplified and optimized. (Bug #28637472)

     * InnoDB: A fragment page allocation failure raised an
       assertion. (Bug #28615893)

     * InnoDB: Incorrectly placed debug points caused flushed
       LOB pages to be considered corrupt. (Bug #28607368)

     * InnoDB: The TempTable storage engine incorrectly created
       temporary files in the system temporary directory instead
       of the directory defined by the tmpdir variable. (Bug
       #28598943)

     * InnoDB: Attempting to drop a table with a name similar to
       that of a full-text search auxiliary table caused an
       assertion failure. (Bug #28577083)

     * InnoDB: A function called by an UPDATE query did not
       account for virtual columns. (Bug #28560650)

     * InnoDB: An incorrect key was defined for the buffer pool
       zip hash mutex. (Bug #28556539)

     * InnoDB: Deadlock handling for background transactions
       that involve the mysql.innodb_table_stats and
       mysql.innodb_index_stats tables was modified. The tables
       were incorrectly included in an assertion that is
       triggered when internal tables are included in a deadlock
       cycle. (Bug #28523042, Bug #92069)

     * InnoDB: Setting innodb_spin_wait_delay to a high value
       caused an assertion failure when attempting to shut down
       the server. To prevent this failure from occurring, the
       innodb_spin_wait_delay maximum value was reduced to 1000.
       (Bug #28489407, Bug #91973)

     * InnoDB: An ON DELETE CASCADE operation on table with a
       foreign key constraint and an indexed virtual column
       caused the server to exit. (Bug #28470805)

     * InnoDB: An incorrectly written DML log involving a
       virtual column value raised an assertion. (Bug #28448853)

     * InnoDB: A RENAME TABLE operation failed when run on a
       table created outside of the MySQL data directory using
       the DATA DIRECTORY clause. (Bug #28341514)

     * InnoDB: ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION permitted
       partitions with different virtual column definitions to
       be exchanged, which resulted in an assertion when InnoDB
       later attempted to read from a nonexistent virtual
       column. (Bug #28235668)

     * InnoDB: A counter was added for redo log write and flush
       requests that occur during transaction commit. The
       counter is used by the log writer thread to compute the
       average time between consecutive requests. When the
       average time is greater than 100 microseconds, log writer
       threads do not use spin delay and instead wait on request
       events with a 10 microsecond timeout limit.
       A log writer thread implementation issue that could cause
       a hang was also fixed. (Bug #28062382, Bug #28444247, Bug
       #28616442, Bug #90890)

     * InnoDB: An assertion was raised when attempting to add
       rollback segments to newly added undo tablespace that was
       not fully initialized. (Bug #27914054)

     * InnoDB: Foreign key constraints were ignored after a
       RENAME TABLE operation. (Bug #27453180, Bug #89441)

     * InnoDB: Using the O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC innodb_flush_method
       setting could cause the system to hang due to file system
       metadata becoming unsynchronized. To prevent this issue
       from occurring in O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC mode, InnoDB now
       calls fsync() after creating a new file, after increasing
       file size, and after closing a file. The fsync() system
       call is still skipped after each write operation.
       With the changes described above, O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC mode
       can now be safely used on EXT4 and XFS file systems. (Bug
       #27309336)

     * InnoDB: Specifying the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE
       ENCRYPTION option with an empty string failed to raise an
       error and was interpreted as a default setting, which is
       ENCRYPTION='N'. Specifying an empty string is now treated
       as invalid and raises an error. (Bug #27177845)

     * InnoDB: Partition suffixes (the #P# part of a partitioned
       table name) were not converted to lowercase when moving
       tablespace data files from a MySQL instance on Windows to
       a MySQL instance on Linux where the
       lower_case_table_names variable was set to 1. Failure to
       fully convert table names to lowercase caused errors
       later when attempting to rename tables. (Bug #26925260)

     * InnoDB: An assertion was raised when attempting to write
       to a tablespace file greater than 4GB in size on a 64-bit
       Windows system. The failure was due to a narrowing cast.
       (Bug #26636815, Bug #87423)

     * Partitioning: Trying to perform an instant add column on
       a discarded tablespace led to an assert. An error is now
       returned in such cases. (Bug #28517843)

     * Partitioning: Repeated ALTER TABLE statements on
       partitioned tables containing BLOB or TEXT columns were
       not always handled correctly. (Bug #28491099)

     * Partitioning: ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION did not
       work when the partitioned table had one or more partition
       definitions using the DATA DIRECTORY option. This fix
       supports partitioned tables using the InnoDB storage
       engine only. (Bug #19730200)

     * Replication: Depending on the value of
       group_replication_exit_state_action, the behavior of
       members exiting a group was not consistent. To harmonize
       the behavior of members exiting the group regardless of
       the error scenario, now when a member with
       group_replication_exit_state_action=READ_ONLY exits the
       group unintentionally, the super_read_only mode that the
       member had when started is restored. This makes the
       behavior consistent with that of a member with
       group_replication_exit_state_action=ABORT_SERVER. (Bug
       #28971639, Bug #28526591)

     * Replication: When adding a new member to a group, if the
       certification information was too big to transmit, an
       event was generated that caused failures in all group
       members. To avoid this situation, now if the
       certification information is too large an error is
       generated which makes the joining member leave the group.
       (Bug #28900691, Bug #28443958)

     * Replication: When a group was being reconfigured online,
       for example using
       group_replication_switch_to_multi_primary_mode or
       group_replication_set_as_primary, there was a chance that
       stopping a member could result in an unexpected stop.
       Now, when you issue STOP GROUP_REPLICATION, if the member
       is part of an online group that is being reconfigured,
       the group coordinator is informed that Group Replication
       is stopping and the member waits for the online
       configuration to finish. (Bug #28807260)

     * Replication: The metadata written to the binary log for
       CREATE TABLE statements includes character set
       information for the character columns in the table.
       Previously, when the mysqlbinlog option
       --print-table-metadata was specified, a default character
       set was printed for the table. This default character set
       was the character set that appeared most frequently in
       the table columns, and might not match the default
       character set that had been specified for the table.
       mysqlbinlog now prints the character set for each column
       individually. The columns are also printed on separate
       lines. (Bug #28774144)

     * Replication: Character set information was not written to
       the binary log as part of the table metadata for ENUM and
       SET columns. This information is now added when
       binlog_row_metadata=FULL is set, which produces extended
       metadata. (For character columns, character set
       information is also added with
       binlog_row_metadata=MINIMAL.) (Bug #28706307)

     * Replication: When stopping replication, any channels that
       had pending transactions could cause a deadlock in Group
       Replication. (Bug #28636768, Bug #28365855)

     * Replication: A patch to correct the handling of quotes
       for identifiers in ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT statements in
       the binary log was not correctly applied to subsequent
       MySQL versions. (Bug #28569645)

     * Replication: Following a patch in MySQL 5.7.23, LOAD DATA
       statements stopped statement-based replication from a
       MySQL 5.7.22 master to a replication slave at a later
       release. The problem has now been fixed. (Bug #28541204,
       Bug #92132)

     * Replication: In some circumstances, the CHANGE MASTER TO
       statement could not be used on a replication slave if the
       master info log had been changed from a table
       (master_info_repository=TABLE) into a file
       (master_info_repository=FILE). (Bug #28529558)

     * Replication: mysqlbinlog incorrectly added statements to
       set the sql_require_primary_key system variable (which
       was introduced in MySQL 8.0.13) to ON for events
       involving DML SQL statements. The check carried out when
       the system variable is set to ON is only relevant for DDL
       SQL statements that create new tables or alter the
       structure of existing tables. (Bug #28524803)

     * Replication: When the system variables
       binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking and
       binlog_transaction_dependency_history_size were set or
       read, the types of lock that were required could result
       in a deadlock scenario, because the same locks were also
       required for working with the active binary logs. A new
       lock type is now used instead for access to the
       transaction dependency tracking system variables, so that
       this deadlock cannot occur. (Bug #28511326, Bug #91941,
       Bug #28537209, Bug #92108)

     * Replication: An assertion was raised in debug builds if
       an implicit commit was attempted when the GTID value for
       the next transaction had not yet been determined
       (gtid_next=NOT_YET_DETERMINED). The gtid_next system
       variable has this value immediately after the
       internal-use statement BINLOG has been issued by
       mysqlbinlog to execute a format description event. If a
       statement with an implicit commit was attempted next
       (such as a CREATE TABLE statement), the gtid_next setting
       did not transition to AUTOMATIC state, and was left in an
       unacceptable state. If autocommit was on, the error
       ER_CANT_SET_GTID_NEXT_TO_ANONYMOUS_WHEN_GTID_MODE_IS_ON
       was also logged when the statement was attempted.
       To fix this issue, the use of the BINLOG statement is now
       prevented during transactions if it would change the
       state of gtid_next. The error
       ER_VARIABLE_NOT_SETTABLE_IN_TRANSACTION is returned if
       this is attempted. Also, when GTIDs are in use and the
       value of gtid_next is NOT_YET_DETERMINED, the next
       statement must either explicitly set gtid_next to a valid
       value or leave the GTID state unaffected. Otherwise the
       error
       ER_CANT_SET_GTID_NEXT_TO_ANONYMOUS_WHEN_GTID_MODE_IS_ON
       is returned. (Bug #28490793, Bug #91980)

     * Replication: When group_replication_exit_state_action is
       set to ABORT_SERVER, the Group Replication plugin now
       uses the new component service added by WL#12003
       (https://dev.mysql.com/worklog/task/?id=12003) to
       shutdown MySQL. (Bug #28401703)

     * Replication: When you used
       group_replication_switch_to_single_primary_mode(), if a
       member which also had an asynchronous channel encountered
       an error, the asynchronous replication channel was not
       stopped correctly, and the server could stop
       unexpectedly. (Bug #28382590)

     * Replication: The PURGE BINARY LOGS TO 'log_name'
       statement failed for binary log files that had been moved
       to another location using mysqlbinlogmove. Such files are
       still listed in the binary log index file, but they are
       listed using an absolute path, rather than a path
       relative to the directory where the binary log files are
       normally stored. MySQL Server can now locate and purge
       moved binary log files successfully. (Bug #28284624)

     * Replication: It was possible to use the group coordinator
       based UDFs which configure a group, such as
       group_replication_switch_to_single_primary_mode, while
       members were in the UNREACHABLE or RECOVERING state, and
       this caused the operation to wait until all members
       became ONLINE. This could result in the group coordinator
       operation never completing successfully. Now, if you
       issue any of these UDFs on a group in this state, an
       error is returned. Ensure all members are ONLINE before
       attempting to configure the group using the UDFs. (Bug
       #28284355)

     * Replication: When binlog_format is set to MIXED, if a
       function contained DML statements that applied to a
       temporary table, and also a DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
       statement, the function call was not written to the
       binary log, which caused replication errors. The function
       call is now written to the binary log in mixed
       replication mode if the function contains DML statements
       that operate on a temporary table. (Bug #28258992)

     * Replication: If autocommit was set to 0 for a replication
       slave or Group Replication group member where GTIDs were
       in use and super_read_only=ON was set, server shutdown
       was prevented by a transaction that did not complete. The
       transaction was attempting to save GTIDs to the
       mysql.gtid_executed table, but the update failed because
       super_read_only=ON was set. (With autocommit set to 1,
       the transaction would complete in this situation, and the
       mysql.gtid_executed table would instead be updated at
       server startup.) Now, the check for the super_read_only
       setting is skipped for this task, so the transaction is
       able to save the GTIDs to the mysql.gtid_executed table
       and complete regardless of the combination of
       super_read_only and autocommit settings. (Bug #28183718)

     * Replication: An assertion was raised in debug builds if
       an XA ROLLBACK statement was issued for an unknown
       transaction identifier when the gtid_next value had been
       set manually. The server now does not attempt to update
       the GTID state if an XA ROLLBACK statement fails with an
       error. (Bug #27928837, Bug #90640)

     * Replication: An assertion was raised in debug builds if a
       SELECT... FOR UPDATE statement was issued immediately
       after a transaction was committed or rolled back, and the
       transaction had been assigned a GTID manually using the
       gtid_next session system variable. After gtid_next has
       been used to set a GTID for a transaction, and the
       transaction has been committed or rolled back, another
       explicit SET GTID_NEXT statement must be issued before
       any other statement, otherwise the gtid_next value is
       left undefined. The SELECT... FOR UPDATE statement caused
       a GTID consistency violation in this situation because it
       acquired write locks, although it did not make any
       changes. SELECT... FOR UPDATE statements that acquire
       write locks now return an error in this situation. (Bug
       #27903848, Bug #90547)

     * Replication: Under heavy loads, a race condition in
       binary log group commit could cause the server to stop
       unexpectedly. The tracking of transaction commits has
       been changed to prevent this situation. (Bug #27556117)

     * Replication: The value returned by a SHOW SLAVE STATUS
       statement for the total combined size of all existing
       relay log files (Relay_Log_Space) could become much
       larger than the actual disk space used by the relay log
       files. The I/O thread did not lock the variable while it
       updated the value, so the SQL thread could automatically
       delete a relay log file and write a reduced value before
       the I/O thread finished updating the value. The I/O
       thread then wrote its original size calculation, ignoring
       the SQL thread's update and so adding back the space for
       the deleted file. The Relay_Log_Space value is now locked
       during updates to prevent concurrent updates and ensure
       an accurate calculation. (Bug #26997096, Bug #87832)

     * Replication: If the relay log index file was temporarily
       locked for viewing by a backup process for a replication
       slave, and MySQL Server also attempted to access the file
       at that time for rename or delete operations, the backup
       completed with warnings, but MySQL Server experienced an
       unexpected halt. MySQL Server now retries the file access
       operation a number of times in case this or a similar
       scenario is the explanation and the file becomes
       available again before long. (Bug #25839610)

     * Replication: With sync_binlog=1 set, if the binary log
       was rotated during a commit before the binary log end
       position was updated, replication stopped on the slave
       because the server attempted to use the old binary log
       end position with the new binary log file. The server now
       compares the binary log file name with the active binary
       log file when updating the binary log end position, so
       that the issue does not occur. (Bug #22252394, Bug
       #25524203, Bug #84752)

     * Replication: When a member joined a group that had a
       constant peak load, the member might not be able to move
       from the RECOVERING to the ONLINE state. The cause was
       that:

          + the member was waiting in a loop for the complete
            queue of transactions that arrived during recovery
            to be applied, while new transactions were still
            arriving.

          + even when the complete queue had been applied, the
            member was also checking that the applier was
            paused, which is unlikely to happen in a continuous
            peak workload.
       Now, when the recovery completion policy is waiting for
       transactions to be applied, the member first waits until
       one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

          + the transactions to apply fit within the flow
            control configuration. In other words, the
            transactions to be applied can be applied during the
            next flow control iteration;

          + no transactions are being queued or applied, in the
            case of an empty recovery queue.
       Then, the member waits for the currently queued
       transactions in the group_replication_applier channel to
       be applied, before the member state changes to ONLINE.
       (Bug #89582, Bug #27511404)

     * Microsoft Windows: MySQL Installer could fail after
       failure to remove an existing MySQL service. This is now
       treated as nonfatal so that installation operations can
       continue, but might require a system restart to permit
       service cleanup. (Bug #29016677, Bug #93048)

     * Microsoft Windows: When multiple instances of mysqld were
       started with the --no-monitor option on the same host for
       same user, the SHUTDOWN command shut down the wrong
       server process. This fix creates a unique shutdown event
       name for use with --no-monitor by appending the process
       ID of the process. (Bug #28723675)

     * X DevAPI: When using the X Protocol, a stored procedure
       called with a user variable as an OUT parameter did not
       set the variable's value. (Bug #91907, Bug #28458752)

     * JSON: Iteration over JSON objects resulted in unnecessary
       allocation of strings. (Bug #28975640)

     * JSON: Conversion of JSON values to text caused linear
       growth of the destination string, resulting in an
       unnecessarily high number of reallocations. Now this
       process uses exponential growth instead, to reduce the
       number of allocations required. (Bug #28949700)

     * JSON: YEAR values were stored as opaque data in JSON;
       when JSON documents containing YEAR values were converted
       to text, the YEAR values were shown as base64-encoded
       strings. To resolve this issue, YEAR values are now
       stored as unsigned integers, which are shown as numbers
       when converted to text. An additional benefit of this fix
       is that less storage space is now required for YEAR
       values within JSON documents. (Bug #28947107)

     * JSON: Hit an assert when attempting to execute UPDATE or
       DELETE on an ARCHIVE table containing a JSON column. (Bug
       #28923281)

     * JSON: When trying to select from a JSON column of a
       FEDERATED table, the server returned
       ER_INVALID_JSON_PATH_CHARSET Cannot create a JSON value
       from a string with CHARACTER SET 'binary'.
       In addition, neither DELETE or UPDATE had any effect on a
       FEDERATED table containing a JSON column. (Bug #28877215)

     * JSON: A query of the form SELECT jt.* FROM t1,
       JSON_TABLE(t1.c, '$[*]' COLUMNS (num INT PATH '$[0]')) AS
       jt failed due a permissions error even though the user
       executing the query had the SELECT privilege on column c.

     * Previously, the COMPILATION_COMMENT CMake option was used
       by the server (for example, to set the version_comment
       system variable) and by other programs. However, when the
       value contained the word "server", it was inappropriate
       for use by other programs. The server now uses the new
       COMPILATION_COMMENT_SERVER option. Other programs
       continue to use COMPILATION_COMMENT. (Bug #28888510)

     * The server permitted creation of databases with the same
       name as redo log files, which could result in unexpected
       server behavior. Such names are no longer permitted as
       database names. (Bug #28867993)

          + For InnoDB tables, statements that modify generated
            stored columns but do not change their type,
            expression, or nullability.

          + For non-InnoDB tables, statements that modify
            generated stored or virtual columns but do not
            change their type, expression, or nullability.
       An example of such a change is a change to the column

     * Concurrent read and write access to the offline_mode
       system variable could result in deadlock. (Bug #28761869)

       assertion failure. (Bug #28760011, Bug #92609)

     * Joins involving the Performance Schema data_locks table
       could produce incorrect results. (Bug #28733170)

     * Some multiply-nested subqueries involving the use of
       scalar subqueries were not handled correctly. (Bug

     * A memory leak was caused by GET_LOCK() calls with a zero
       timeout that failed due to concurrent connections holding
       the same user-level lock. (Bug #28714367)

     * Heap corruption and a server exit could occur when a
       server hosting a large number of tables was started and

     * CAP_SYS_NICE capability is no longer enabled for mysqld
       by MySQL package installers for Linux. (This was done to
       facilitate use of resource groups thread priorities.) For
       Linux deployments that require access to thread
       priorities, consult the MySQL Reference Manual
       instructions for enabling CAP_SYS_NICE capability at
       Resource Group Restrictions
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/resource-groups.html#resource-group-restrictions).
       (Bug #28670160)

     * The internal implementation of the <=> operator was
       simplified. (Bug #28660232)

     * After a STOP GROUP_REPLICATION statement was issued to
       remove a server instance from a group, multiple instances
       of the error message "[GCS] Error pushing message into
       group communication engine" were logged on the server
       instance. The error is now ignored when a server is in
       the process of leaving a group or is no longer a member
       of a group. (Bug #28658228, Bug #92454)

     * The maximum timeout setting for the waiting period before
       expelling a suspected Group Replication group member has
       been reduced to 3600 seconds (one hour). Previously, the
       group_replication_member_expel_timeout system variable
       could be set to a value of up to 31536000 seconds. The
       new upper limit provides a more reasonable maximum for
       the removal of inactive members from the group. The
       default setting for the timeout is zero, meaning that
       inactive members are liable for expulsion immediately
       after the 5-second detection period ends. Specifying a
       timeout value is useful to avoid unnecessary expulsions
       on slower networks, or in the case of expected transient
       network failures or machine slowdowns. (Bug #28656750)

     * If the CHARACTER SET attribute of some column was
       implicit in JSON_TABLE(... COLUMNS ...), the resulting
       column used the global character_set_results as the
       default character set. The column now uses the session
       character_set_connection and collation_connection values.
       (Bug #28643862)

     * Adding a functional index on an expression that produced
       a row value raised an assertion; now it results in an
       error instead. (Bug #28643252)

     * In debug builds, creating a trigger after setting
       sql-mode to TIME_TRUNCATE_FRACTIONAL caused an assertion
       failure. The SQL mode was not present in the sql_mode
       column of the mysql.triggers data dictionary table. (Bug
       #28642918)

     * When using --log-timestamps=SYSTEM, ISO 8601 timestamps
       in log messages did not take account of daylight saving
       time. (Bug #28632725)

     * The arguments for error ER_IB_MSG_720 were computed
       incorrectly. (Bug #28629175)

     * The server could exit at startup if the option for
       specifying a socket file was not specified correctly.
       (Bug #28609181)

     * It was possible to create an inconsistent foreign key by
       adding a parent table with a different storage engine
       from the child table, then changing the parent table to
       the same storage engine as the child table. (Bug
       #28608460, Bug #92317)

     * When a server is joining a replication group, it attempts
       to connect to the first seed member listed in its
       group_replication_group_seeds system variable. If the
       connection is refused, the joining member tries to
       connect to each of the other seed members in the list in
       order. Previously, If the joining member connected to a
       seed member but did not get added to the replication
       group as a result, the joining member did not make any
       further connection attempts. This situation could occur
       if the seed member failed after the connection was made,
       or if the seed member did not have the joining member's
       address in its whitelist and closed the connection, or if
       the seed member rejected the joining member's request to
       join the group. Now, if the joining member connects to a
       seed member but does not manage to join the group, the
       joining member continues to try the remaining seed
       members in the list in order. (Bug #28602835)

     * Given certain patterns of allocations, copies with
       rebinds of the allocator, and deallocations, it was
       possible for temptable::Allocator to reuse a freed memory
       block. This led to failures in the test suite on Windows
       platforms. (Bug #28595557)

     * Setting time_zone to a negative offset and timestamp to a
       low value triggered an assertion when altering routines
       and views. (Bug #28590623, Bug #92273)

     * Persisting the pid_file system variable to DEFAULT could
       result in a value of NULL for subsequent server startups.
       (Bug #28589736)

     * Incorrect privilege checking could produce an error for

     * Attempting to rename the parent column of a foreign key
       with ALTER TABLE could fail. (Bug #28581468)

     * Privileges for RESET PERSIST were not checked correctly.

     * After a server restart, path names of persisted system
       variables in the Performance Schema variables_info table
       could be calculated incorrectly. (Bug #28561584)

     * A partitioned table name check raised an invalid
       assertion. (Bug #28556942)

     * The handler::create() function could be called with an
       error in the condition list, which could prevent an error
       in the handler::create() function from being reported
       properly. (Bug #28556264)

     * For ALTER TABLE, ALGORITHM=INSTANT was incorrectly
       rejected on tables created in a MySQL version prior to
       8.0.12. (Bug #28554157, Bug #92194)

     * CREATE TABLE statements for tables with the utf32 table
       character set and literal strings in the table definition
       raised an assertion. (Bug #28275881)

     * Internal functions were added to support updating the
       server version number upon the successful completion of a
       server upgrade. (Bug #28211486)

     * Comparing log file names as strings using the memcmp()
       function resulted in uninitialized memory read errors.
       The comparison now uses the strncmp() function. Thanks to
       Zsolt Parragi and Laurynas Biveinis for their
       contributions. (Bug #28178776, Bug #90238)

     * On systems where Group Replication's Group Communication
       System (GCS) used the systemd-resolved service for
       network name resolution, if the host name could not be
       resolved, GCS kept trying indefinitely. Now, if a retry
       message is returned from any name resolution service, GCS
       makes a limited number of retries, then concludes that
       the host name is unresolvable. (Bug #28177861)

     * The server mishandled stored program and resource group
       names that differed only in accents. (Bug #28122841)

     * The optimizer skipped the second column in a composite
       index when executing an inner join with a LIKE clause
       against the second column. (Bug #28086754)

     * CREATE TABLE ... SELECT could create date columns with
       "zero" date default values when it should have created
       them without a default value. (Bug #28022129)

     * The transformation of IN subquery predicates into
       semijoins was not handled correctly for a very large
       number of tables. (Bug #28004674)

     * The bitmap used for reading fields from the storage
       engine was not enabled correctly when performing the
       filesort which is added to the last of any temporary
       tables created for window functions. In the case where
       there was no need for a temporary table, the server added
       a filesort to the output from the select table, but the
       removed reference (the WHERE condition) was not added.
       Now in such cases, the reference is added to the select
       table when the first window function needs sorting and no
       temporary table was created before processing this window
       function. (Bug #27975193)

     * After seeing a row in the range frame, if another row was
       later determined to be appearing before this range frame,
       the server continued to check for new rows. This led to
       the next frame calculation being done incorrectly. (Bug
       #27973860)

     * Server mishandling of SIGHUP signals could result in a
       server exit. (Bug #27966483, Bug #90742)

     * DELETE WHERE a=constant from a table with column a and
       partitioned by the value of a generated column b led to
       an assertion in debug builds. (Bug #27954073)

     * INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries could cause a server exit when
       updating dynamic table statistics. (Bug #27898108)

     * A metadata locking deadlock could occur when opening a
       foreign key parent table. (Bug #27859086)

     * Improper memory handling by account management statements
       could result in server misbehavior. (Bug #27820277)

     * In certain cases, window functions did not handle ORDER
       BY and PARTITION BY correctly. (Bug #27816506)

     * The MySQL query optimizer identifies each predicate to be
       pushed down to a table as a table condition; as part of
       this process it checks to see whether a given predicate
       among the table conditions is already known to be true in
       virtue of the selected access path for the table, in
       which case the predicate can safely be eliminated.
       For example, when executing SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE pk=1,
       where pk is the primary key of table t1, the ref access
       method is selected. Since we know that this already
       returns only rows for which pk=1, further evaluation of
       this condition as a filter (Using where) should be
       eliminated.
       When optimizing a query which includes a GROUP BY or
       ORDER BY, a late optimizer check is performed to discover
       whether sorting can be skiped by using a sorted index
       instead. Since this is done after another index may have
       been chosen for accessing the table to be sorted, some
       predicates thought to be redundant (due to the previous
       access path selected) could be removed prematurely. To
       compensate for this, the following actions were
       performed:

          + Reconstruction of a table condition containing
            predicates previously eliminated due to the access
            method already being selected.

          + Performing a check to see whether any sorted index
            existed such that sorting could be avoided, possibly
            modifying the access plan.
       Issues arose because the following actions also intended
       to remedy early predicate removal were not performed
       correctly:

          + Whether the access plan was modified or not, any
            extra predicates added back in the reconstructed
            table condition mentioned previously became a
            permanent part of the table condition.

          + When the access plan was changed to use another
            sorted index, no analysis was performed for the new
            index in order to remove predicates made obsolete by
            the new index.
       A further problem existed for storage engines
       implementing condition pushdown, such as NDBCLUSTER: The
       conditions pushed down were generated from the table
       condition prior to analysis, such that, if the access
       path was later changed, the pushed condition did not
       contain the predicates already removed, making condition
       pushdown less efficient.
       The root cause of this issue was that part_of_refkey()
       analysis was performed on table predicates before the
       access method for the table had been completely decided.
       This is fixed by removing such early analysis. (Bug
       #27808758, Bug #27814026)

     * A windowing function that included an ORDER BY column
       clause failed with Unknown field in window order by even
       when the column was found in the table being queried.
       (Bug #27808099)

     * Executing a prepared statement to do a multiple-row
       insert with large number of placeholders consumed
       excessive memory and could execute slowly. (Bug

     * On Windows, if the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual
       Studio had been removed, MySQL uninstallation using the

     * It was possible in debug builds for a windowing function
       using a signed integer to mishandle a frame that included
       FOLLOWING. (Bug #27452365)

     * When executing a prepared statement with a procedure call
       with the CURSOR_TYPE_READ_ONLY flag set, the client
       library hung if the procedure performed a SELECT that
       returned an empty result set. (Bug #27443252, Bug #89214)

     * Loading and unloading the audit_log plugin while
       performing other concurrent activity could cause the
       server to become unresponsive. (Bug #27325622)

     * The data dictionary properties interface (dd::Properties)
       and implementation was revised to provide a new method of
       defining valid keys for property objects. (Bug #27309072,
       Bug #89031, Bug #27309082, Bug #89032)

     * Installing and uninstalling the validate_password
       component concurrently with SET PASSWORD could cause
       component failure. (Bug #27020979)

     * Some typos in server source code were fixed. Thanks to
       Hyunwoo Park for the contribution. (Bug #26189673, Bug
       #86565)

     * After column privileges were granted to a table, a
       HANDLER READ call asserted during privilege checking.
       (Bug #25987758)

     * A check that ensures compatibility of referencing and
       referenced column types in a foreign key definition was
       moved from the storage engine layer to the SQL layer.
       (Bug #25722927)

     * The parser performed some out-of-memory checks
       incorrectly. (Bug #25633994)

     * When a subquery contained a UNION, the count of the
       number of subquery columns was calculated incorrectly.
       (Bug #28499924)

     * A race condition between user-management statements and
       other statements that tried to access grant tables
       directly could result in deadlock and transaction
       rollback. (Bug #24481240)

     * When the server was started with the --skip-name-resolve
       option, spurious warnings could be written to the error
       log about ignoring accounts with a host name part of
       localhost. (The accounts in fact were used and not
       ignored.) (Bug #23329861, Bug #81441)

     * DML statements using IGNORE were not always handled
       correctly on tables having generated columns. (Bug
       #22990029)

     * MySQL now removes trivial WHERE conditions arising from
       constant literal expressions during preparation, rather
       than at a later stage in optimization. This should result
       in improved plans for queries with outer joins containing
       trivial conditions, such as this one:
SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON condition_1 WHERE condition_2 OR 0 =
1

       After removing the redundant OR 0 = 1 condition the
       optimizer can rewrite the query as an inner join, as
       shown here:
SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 WHERE condition_1 AND condition_2

       References: See also: Bug #28197977, Bug #28240054.

     * Updates for BLOB columns in FEDERATED tables did not
       work. (Bug #11748067, Bug #34997)

     * Each of the functions REGEXP_REPLACE(), REGEXP_SUBSTR(),
       REGEXP_LIKE(), and REGEXP_INSTR() returned a DOUBLE
       instead of a value of the function's specified return
       type. (Bug #90039, Bug #27682225)

     * A query employing a dynamic range and an index merge
       could use more memory than expected. (Bug #89953, Bug
       #27659490)

     * Selecting from a table having a CHAR column with a NO_PAD
       collation yielded inconsistent results. (Bug #89753, Bug
       #27578340)
