MySQL 5.0.19 has been released

[Brian Pontz]

Hi,

MySQL 5.0.19, a new version of the popular Open Source Database
Management System, has been released. The Community Edition is now available
in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites.

Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time
- if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later
or choose another download site.

This is a bugfix release for the current production release family.

Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details
about the individual bugs fixed in this version.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback!

Changes in release 5.0.19

Functionality added or changed:
* Incompatible change: The InnoDB storage engine no longer ignores
trailing spaces when comparing BINARY or VARBINARY column values.
This means that (for example) the binary values 'a' and 'a ' are now
regarded as unequal any time they are compared, as they are in
MyISAM tables. (Bug #14189 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14189))
See Section 11.4.2, "The BINARY and VARBINARY Types" for more
information about the BINARY and VARBINARY types.
* The result type of the GROUP_CONCAT() function is now VARCHAR only
if the the value of the group_concat_max_len system variable is less
than or equal to 512. Otherwise, this funciton returns a BLOB. (Bug
#14169 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14169))
* Added the mysql_upgrade program that checks all tables for
incompatibilities with the current version of MySQL Server and
repairs them if necessary. This program should be run for each MySQL
upgrade (rather than mysql_fix_privilege_tables). See Section 5.6.2,
"mysql_upgrade --- Check Tables for MySQL Upgrade."
* Added the FOR UPGRADE option for the CHECK TABLE statement. This
option checks whether tables are incompatible with the current
version of MySQL Server. Also added the --check-upgrade to
mysqlcheck that invokes CHECK TABLE with the FOR UPGRADE option.
* mysql no longer terminates data value display when it encounters a
NUL byte. Instead, it displays NUL bytes as spaces. (Bug #16859
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16859))
* Added the --wait-timeout option to mysqlmanager to allow
configuration of the timeout for dropping an inactive connection,
and increased the default timeout from 30 seconds to 28,800 seconds
(8 hours). (Bug #12674 (http://bugs.mysql.com/12674))
* A number of performance issues were resolved that had previously
been encountered when using statements that repeatedly invoked
stored functions. For example, calling BENCHMARK() using a stored
function executed much more slowly than when invoking it with inline
code that accomplished the same task. In most cases the two should
now execute with approximately the same speed. (Bug #15014
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15014), Bug #14946
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14946))
* libmysqlclient now uses versioned symbols with GNU ld. (Bug #3074
(http://bugs.mysql.com/3074))
* NDB Cluster: More descriptive warnings are now issued when
inappropriate logging parameters are set in config.ini. (Formerly,
the warning issued was simply Could not add logfile destination.)
(Bug #11331 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11331))
* Added the --port-open-timeout option to mysqld to control how many
seconds the server should wait for the TCP/IP port to become free if
it cannot be opened. (Bug #15591 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15591))
* Repeated invocation of my_init() and my_end() caused corruption of
character set data and connection failure. (Bug #6536
(http://bugs.mysql.com/6536))
* Two new Hungarian collations are included: utf8_hungarian_ci and
ucs2_hungarian_ci. These support the correct sort order for
Hungarian vowels. However, they do not support the correct order for
sorting Hungarian consonant contractions; this issue will be fixed
in a future release.
* Wording of error 1329 changed to No data - zero rows fetched,
selected, or processed. (Bug #15206 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15206))
* The INFORMATION_SCHEMA now skips data contained in
unlistable/unreadable directories rather than returning an error.
(Bug #15851 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15851))
* InnoDB now caches a list of unflushed files instead of scanning for
unflushed files during a table flush operation. This improves
performance when --innodb-file-per-table is set on a system with a
large number of InnoDB tables. (Bug #15653
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15653))
* The message for error 1109 changed from Unknown table ... in order
clause to Unknown table ... in field list. (Bug #15091
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15091))
* The mysqltest utility now converts all CR/LF combinations to LF to
allow test cases intended for Windows to work properly on UNIX-like
systems. (Bug #13809 (http://bugs.mysql.com/13809))
* The mysql_ping function will now retry if the reconnect flag is set
and error CR_SERVER_LOST is encountered during the first attempt to
ping the server. (Bug #14057 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14057))
* mysqldump now surrounds the DEFINER, SQL SECURITY DEFINER and WITH
CHECK OPTION clauses of a CREATE VIEW statement with "not in
version" comments to prevent errors in earlier versions of MySQL.
(Bug #14871 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14871))

Bugs fixed:
* Setting the myisam_repair_threads system variable to a value larger
than 1 could cause corruption of large MyISAM tables. (Bug #11527
(http://bugs.mysql.com/11527))
* When using the GROUP_CONCAT() function where the
group_concat_max_len system variable was greater than 512, the type
of the result was BLOB only if the query included an ORDER BY
clause; otherwise the result was a VARCHAR. (Bug #14169
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14169))
* The length of a VARCHAR() column that used the utf8 character set
would increase each time the table was re-created in a stored
procedure or prepared statement, eventually causing the CREATE TABLE
statement to fail. (Bug #13134 (http://bugs.mysql.com/13134))
* type_decimal failed with the prepared statement protocol. (Bug
#17826 (http://bugs.mysql.com/17826))
* The MySQL server could crash with out of memory errors when
performing aggregate functions on a DECIMAL column. (Bug #17602
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17602))
* A stored procedure failed to return data the first time it was
called per connection. (Bug #17476 (http://bugs.mysql.com/17476))
* Using DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS func_name to drop a user-defined
function caused a server crash if the server was running with the
--skip-grant-tables option. (Bug #17595
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17595))
* Using ALTER TABLE to increase the length of a BINARY(M) column
caused column values to be padded with spaces rather than 0x00
bytes. (Bug #16857 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16857))
* A large BIGINT value specified in a WHERE clause could be treated
differently depending on whether it is specified as a quoted string.
(For example, WHERE bigint_col = 17666000000000000000 versus WHERE
bigint_col = '17666000000000000000'). (Bug #9088
(http://bugs.mysql.com/9088))
* A natural join between INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables failed. (Bug #17523
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17523))
* A memory leak caused warnings on slaves for certain statements that
executed without warning on the master. (Bug #16175
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16175))
* The embedded server did not allow binding of columns to the
MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING data type in prepared statements. (Bug #12070
(http://bugs.mysql.com/12070))
* The embedded server failed various tests in the automated test
suite. (Bug #9630 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9630), Bug #9631
(http://bugs.mysql.com/9631), Bug #9633
(http://bugs.mysql.com/9633), Bug #10801
(http://bugs.mysql.com/10801), Bug #10911
(http://bugs.mysql.com/10911), Bug #10924

(http://bugs.mysql.com/10926), Bug #10930
(http://bugs.mysql.com/10930), Bug #15433
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15433))
* Instance Manager erroneously accepted a list of instance identifiers
for the START INSTANCE and STOP INSTANCE commands (should accept
only a single identifier). (Bug #12813
(http://bugs.mysql.com/12813))
* For a transaction that used MyISAM and InnoDB tables, interruption
of the transaction due to a dropped connection on a master server
caused slaves to lose synchrony. (Bug #16559
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16559))
* SELECT with GROUP BY on a view can cause a server crash. (Bug #16382
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16382))
* If the query optimizer transformed a GROUP BY clause in a subquery,
it did not also transform the HAVING clause if there was one,
producing incorrect results. (Bug #16603
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16603))
* SUBSTRING_INDEX() could yield inconsistent results when applied with
the same arguments to consecutive rows in a query. (Bug #14676
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14676))
* The parser allowed CREATE AGGREGATE FUNCTION for creating stored
functions, even though AGGREGATE does not apply. (It is used only
for CREATE FUNCTION only when creating user-defined functions.) (Bug
#16896 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16896))
* Data truncations on non-UNIQUE indexes could crash InnoDB when using
multi-byte character sets. (Bug #17530
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17530))
* Triggers created without BEGIN and END clauses could not be properly
restored from a mysqldump file. (Bug #16878
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16878))
* The RENAME TABLE statement did not move triggers to the new table.
(Bug #13525 (http://bugs.mysql.com/13525))
* Clients compiled from source with the --without-readline did not
save command history from session to session. (Bug #16557
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16557))
* Stored routines that contained only a single statement were not
written properly to the dumpfile when using mysqldump. (Bug #14857
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14857))
* For certain MERGE tables, the optimizer wrongly assumed that using
index_merge/intersection was too expensive. (Bug #17314
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17314))
* Executing a SHOW CREATE VIEW query of an invalid view caused the
mysql_next_result function of libMySQL.dll to hang. (Bug #15943
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15943))
* BIT fields were not properly handled when using row-based
replication. (Bug #13418 (http://bugs.mysql.com/13418))
* Issuing GRANT EXECUTE on a procedure would display any warnings
related to the creation of the procedure. (Bug #7787
(http://bugs.mysql.com/7787))
* NDB Cluster: ndb_delete_all would run out of memory on tables
containing BLOB columns. (Bug #16693 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16693))
* NDB Cluster: UNIQUE keys in Cluster tables were limited to 225 bytes
in length. (Bug #15918 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15918))
* In a highly concurrent environment, a server crash or deadlock could
result from execution of a statement that used stored functions or
activated triggers coincident with alteration of the tables used by
these functions or triggers. (Bug #16593
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16593))
* Previously, a stored function invocation was written to the binary
log as DO func_name() if the invocation changes data and occurs
within a non-logged statement, or if the function invokes a stored
procedure that produces an error. These invocations now are logged
as SELECT func_name() instead for better control over error code
checking (slave servers could stop due to detecting a different
error than occurred on the master). (Bug #14769
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14769))
* CHECKSUM TABLE returned different values on MyISAM table depending
on whether the QUICK or EXTENDED options were used. (Bug #8841
(http://bugs.mysql.com/8841))
* MySQL server dropped client connection for certain SELECT statements
against views defined that used MERGE algorithm. (Bug #16260
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16260))
* A call to the IF() function using decimal arguments could return
incorrect results. (Bug #16272 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16272))
* A statement containing GROUP BY and HAVING clauses could return
incorrect results when the HAVING clause contained logic that
returned FALSE for every row. (Bug #14927
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14927))
* Using GROUP BY on column used in WHERE clause could cause empty set
to be returned. (Bug #16203 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16203))
* For a MySQL 5.0 server, using MySQL 4.1 tables in queries with a
GROUP BY clause could result in buffer overrun or a server crash.
(Bug #16752 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16752))
* SET sql_mode = N, where N > 31, did not work properly. (Bug #13897
(http://bugs.mysql.com/13897))
* NDB Cluster: Cluster log file paths were truncated to 128
characters. They may now be as long as MAX_PATH (the maximum path
length permitted by the operating system). (Bug #17411
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17411))
* The mysql_stmt_store_result() C API function could not be used for a
prepared statement if a cursor had been opened for the statement.
(Bug #14013 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14013))
* The mysql_stmt_sqlstate() C API function incorrectly returned an
empty string rather than '00000' when no error occurred. (Bug #16143
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16143))
* Using the TRUNCATE() function with a negative number for the second
argument on a BIGINT column returned incorrect results. (Bug #8461
(http://bugs.mysql.com/8461))
* Instance Manager searched wrong location for password file on some
platforms. (Bug #16499 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16499))
* NDB Cluster: Following multiple forced shutdowns and restarts of
data nodes, DROP DATABASE could fail. (Bug #17325
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17325))

records if both tables in the join did not have a primary key. (Bug
#17257 (http://bugs.mysql.com/17257))
* NDB Cluster: A DELETE with a join in the WHERE clause failed to
retrieve any records if both tables in the join did not have a
primary key. (Bug #17249 (http://bugs.mysql.com/17249))
* The error message returned by perror --ndb was prefixed with OS
error code: instead of NDB error code:. (Bug #17235
(http://bugs.mysql.com/17235))
* NDB Cluster: In some cases, LOAD DATA INFILE did not load all data
into NDB tables. (Bug #17081 (http://bugs.mysql.com/17081))
* NDB Cluster: The REDO log would become corrupted (and thus
unreadable) in some circumstances, due to a failure in the query
handler. (Bug #17295 (http://bugs.mysql.com/17295))
* NDB Cluster: No error message was generated for setting
NoOfFragmentLogFiles too low. (Bug #13966
(http://bugs.mysql.com/13966))
* NDB Cluster: No error message was generated for setting
MaxNoOfAttributes too low. (Bug #13965
(http://bugs.mysql.com/13965))
* Binary distributions for Solaris contained files with group
ownership set to the non-existing wheel group. Now the bin group is
used. (Bug #15562 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15562))
* The DECIMAL data type was not being handled correctly with prepared
statements. (Bug #16511 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16511))
* The SELECT privilege was required for triggers that performed no
selects. (Bug #15196 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15196))
* The UPDATE privilege was required for triggers that performed no
updates. (Bug #15166 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15166))
* CAST(... AS TIME) operations returned different results when using
versus not using prepared-statement protocol. (Bug #15805
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15805))

memory overruns and binary log corruption. (Bug #15588
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15588))
* Killing a long-running query containing a subquery could cause a
server crash. (Bug #14851 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14851))
* A FULLTEXT query in a prepared statement could result in unexpected
behavior. (Bug #14496 (http://bugs.mysql.com/14496))
* A RETURN statement within a trigger caused a server crash. RETURN
now is disallowed within triggers. To exit immediately, use LEAVE.
(Bug #16829 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16829))
* STR_TO_DATE(1,NULL) caused a server crash. (Bug #15828
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15828))
* An invalid stored routine could not be dropped. (Bug #16303

times, it caused corruption of charset data stored in once_mem_pool.
(Bug #11892 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11892))
* When multiple handlers are created for the same MySQL error number
within nested blocks, the outermost handler took precedence. (Bug
#15011 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15011))
* Certain LEAVE statements in stored procedures were not properly
optimized. (Bug #15737 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15737))
* Setting InnoDB path settings to an empty string caused InnoDB
storage engine to crash upon server startup. (Bug #16157
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16157))
* InnoDB used full explicit table locks in trigger processing. (Bug
#16229 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16229))
* Server crash when dropping InnoDB constraints named
TABLENAME_ibfk_0. (Bug #16387 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16387))
* Corrected race condition when dropping the adaptive hash index for a
B-tree page in InnoDB. (Bug #16582 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16582))
* MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT option was modified by calls to the
mysql_real_connect() function. (Bug #15719
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15719))
* InnoDB: After upgrading an InnoDB table having a VARCHAR BINARY

(http://bugs.mysql.com/16298))
* Trying to compile the server on Windows generated a stack overflow
warning due to a recursive definition of the internal
Field_date::store() method. (Bug #15634
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15634))

caused the server to crash. Note: LOAD INDEX statements within
stored routines are not supported, and now yield an error if
attempted. This behavior is intended. (Bug #14270
(http://bugs.mysql.com/14270))
* The mysqlbinlog utility did not output DELIMITER statements, causing
syntax errors for stored routine creation statements. (Bug #11312
(http://bugs.mysql.com/11312))

caused errors. Added the character_set_filesystem system variable,
which controls the interpretation of string literals that refer to
filenames. (Bug #12448 (http://bugs.mysql.com/12448))
* Certain subqueries where the inner query is the result of a
aggregate function would return different results on MySQL 5.0 than
on MySQL 4.1. (Bug #15347 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15347))

clause against the INFORMATION_SCHEMA resulted in an empty result
set. (Bug #15307 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15307))
* The --replicate-do and --replicate-ignore options were not being
enforced on multiple-table statements. (Bug #15699
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15699), Bug #16487
(http://bugs.mysql.com/16487))

SHOW FUNCTION STATUS would cause the server to crash. (Bug #15658
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15658))
* In some cases the query optimizer did not properly perform multiple
joins where inner joins followed left joins, resulting in corrupted
result sets. (Bug #15633 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15633))
* The absence of a table in the left part of a left or right join was
not checked prior to name resolution, which resulted in a server
crash. (Bug #15538 (http://bugs.mysql.com/15538))
* NDBCluster: A bitfield whose offset and length totaled 32 would
crash the cluster. (Bug #16125 (http://bugs.mysql.com/16125))
* NDBCluster: Upon the completion of a scan where a key request
remained outstanding on the primary replica and a starting node
died, the scan did not terminate. This caused incompleted error
handling of the failed node. (Bug #15908
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15908))
* NDBCluster: The ndb_autodiscover test failed sporadically due to a
node not being permitted to connect to the cluster. (Bug #15619
(http://bugs.mysql.com/15619))
