Incompatible Change: InnoDB rolls back only the last statement on a transaction timeout. A new option, --innodb_rollback_on_timeout, causes InnoDB to abort and roll back the entire transaction if a transaction timeout occurs (the same behavior as in MySQL 5.0.13 and earlier). (Bug#24200)

Incompatible Change: The prepared_stmt_count system variable has been converted to the Prepared_stmt_count global status variable (viewable with the SHOW GLOBAL STATUS statement). (Bug#23159)

MySQL Cluster: Setting the configuration parameter LockPagesInMainMemory had no effect. (Bug#24461)

MySQL Cluster: The ndb_config utility now accepts -c as a short form of the --ndb-connectstring option. (Bug#22295)

MySQL Cluster: Added the --bind-address option for ndbd. This allows a data node process to be bound to a specific network interface. (Bug#22195)

MySQL Cluster: It is now possible to create a unique hashed index on a column that is not defined as NOT NULL.

Unique indexes on columns in NDB tables do not store null values because they are mapped to primary keys in an internal index table (and primary keys cannot contain nulls).

Normally, an additional ordered index is created when one creates unique indexes on NDB table columns; this can be used to search for NULL values. However, if USING HASH is specified when such an index is created, no ordered index is created.

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 not try to search for null values. Since MySQL does not support indexes that are not allowed to be searched in some cases, the NDB storage engine uses a full table scan with pushed conditions for the referenced index columns to return the correct result.

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 NULL values if this can be avoided. (Bug#21507)

MySQL Cluster: The Ndb_number_of_storage_nodes system variable was renamed to Ndb_number_of_data_nodes. (Bug#20848)

MySQL Cluster: The HELP command in the Cluster management client now provides command-specific help. For example, HELP RESTART in ndb_mgm provides detailed information about the RESTART command. (Bug#19620)

DROP TRIGGER now supports an IF EXISTS clause. (Bug#23703)

The Com_create_user status variable was added (for counting CREATE USER statements). (Bug#22958)

The --memlock option relies on system calls that are unreliable on some operating systems. If a crash occurs, the server now checks whether --memlock was specified and if so issues some information about possible workarounds. (Bug#22860)

If the user specified the server options --max-connections=N or --table-open-cache=M , a warning would be given in some cases that some values were recalculated, with the result that --table-open-cache could be assigned greater value.

It should be noted that, in such cases, both the warning and the increase in the --table-open-cache 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.

The recalculation code has now been fixed to ensure that the value of --table-open-cache 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. (Bug#21915)

For the CALL statement, stored procedures that take no arguments now can be invoked without parentheses. That is, CALL p() and CALL p are equivalent. (Bug#21462)

mysql_upgrade now passes all the parameters specified on the command line to both mysqlcheck and mysql using the upgrade_defaults file. (Bug#20100)

SHOW STATUS is no longer logged to the slow query log. (Bug#19764)

mysqldump --single-transaction now uses START TRANSACTION /*!40100 WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT */ rather than BEGIN to start a transaction, so that a consistent snapshot will be used on those servers that support it. (Bug#19660)

The bundled yaSSL library was upgraded to version 1.5.0.

MySQL Cluster: The failure of a data node failure during a schema operation could lead to additional node failures. (Bug#24752)

MySQL Cluster: A committed read could be attempted before a data node had time to connect, causing a timeout error. (Bug#24717)

MySQL Cluster: Sudden disconnection of an SQL or data node could lead to shutdown of data nodes with the error failed ndbrequire. (Bug#24447)

MySQL Cluster: ndb_config failed when trying to use 2 management servers and node IDs. (Bug#23887)

MySQL Cluster: Backup of a cluster failed if there were any tables with 128 or more columns. (Bug#23502)

MySQL Cluster: Cluster backups failed when there were more than 2048 schema objects in the cluster. (Bug#23499)

MySQL Cluster: The management client command ALL DUMP 1000 would cause the cluster to crash if data nodes were connected to the cluster but not yret fully started. (Bug#23203)

MySQL Cluster: INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE on an NDB table could lead to deadlocks and memory leaks. (Bug#23200)

MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Inacivity timeouts for scans were not correctly handled. (Bug#23107)

MySQL Cluster: If a node restart could not be performed from the REDO log, no node takeover took place. This could cause partitions to be left empty during a system restart. (Bug#22893)

MySQL Cluster: Multiple node restarts in rapid succession could cause a system restart to fail , or induce a race condition. (Bug#22892, Bug#23210)

MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Attempting to read a nonexistent tuple using Commit mode for NdbTransaction::execute() caused node failures. (Bug#22672)

MySQL Cluster: The --help output from NDB binaries did not include file-related options. (Bug#21994)

MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Scans closed before being executed were still placed in the send queue. (Bug#21941)

MySQL Cluster: A scan timeout returned Error 4028 (Node failure caused abort of transaction) instead of Error 4008 (Node failure caused abort of transaction...). (Bug#21799)

MySQL Cluster: The node recovery algorithm was missing a version check for tables in the ALTER_TABLE_COMMITTED state (as opposed to the TABLE_ADD_COMMITTED state, which has the version check). This could cause inconsistent schemas across nodes following node recovery. (Bug#21756)

MySQL Cluster: The output for the --help option used with NDB executable programs (such as ndbd, ndb_mgm, ndb_restore, ndb_config, and others mentioned in Section 17.10, “Cluster Utility Programs”) referred to the Ndb.cfg file, instead of to my.cnf. (Bug#21585)

MySQL Cluster: Partition distribution keys were updated only for the primary and starting replicas during node recovery. This could lead to node failure recovery for clusters having an odd number of replicas.

(Bug#21535)

MySQL Cluster: The ndb_mgm management client did not set the exit status on errors, always returning 0 instead. (Bug#21530)

MySQL Cluster: Cluster logs were not rotated following the first rotation cycle. (Bug#21345)

MySQL Cluster: When inserting a row into an NDB table with a duplicate value for a non-primary unique key, the error issued would reference the wrong key. (Bug#21072)

MySQL Cluster: Condition pushdown did not work correctly with DATETIME columns. (Bug#21056)

MySQL Cluster: Under some circumstances, local checkpointing would hang, keeping any unstarted nodes from being started. (Bug#20895)

MySQL Cluster: Using an invalid node ID with the management client STOP command could cause ndb_mgm to hang. (Bug#20575)

MySQL Cluster: Data nodes added while the cluster was running in single user mode were all assigned node ID 0, which could later cause multiple node failures. Adding nodes while in single user mode is no longer possible. (Bug#20395)

MySQL Cluster: In some cases where SELECT COUNT(*) from an NDB table should have yielded an error, MAX_INT was returned instead. (Bug#19914)

MySQL Cluster: Following the restart of a management node, the Cluster management client did not automatically reconnect. (Bug#19873)

MySQL Cluster: Error messages given when trying to make online changes to parameters such as NoOfReplicas that can only be changed via a complete shutdown and restart of the cluster did not indicate the true nature of the problem. (Bug#19787)

MySQL Cluster: ndb_restore did not always make clear that it had recovered successfully from temporary errors while restoring a cluster backup. (Bug#19651)

MySQL Cluster: In rare situations with resource shortages, a crash could result from insufficient IndexScanOperations. (Bug#19198)

MySQL Cluster: ndb_mgm -e show | head would hang after displaying the first 10 lines of output. (Bug#19047)

MySQL Cluster: The error returned by the cluster when too many nodes were defined did not make clear the nature of the problem. (Bug#19045)

MySQL Cluster: A unique constraint violation was not ignored by an UPDATE IGNORE statement when the constraint violation occurred on a non-primary key. (Bug#18487, Bug#24303)

MySQL Cluster: The ndb_config utility did not perform host lookups correctly when using the --host option (Bug#17582)

MySQL Cluster: A problem with takeover during a system restart caused ordered indexes to be rebuilt incorrectly. (Bug#15303)

Cluster API: Using BIT values with any of the comparison methods of the NdbScanFilter class caused data nodes to fail. (Bug#24503)

Cluster API: Some MGM API function calls could yield incorrect return values in certain cases where the cluster was operating under a very high load, or experienced timeouts in inter-node communications. (Bug#24011)

Cluster API: The NdbOperation::getBlobHandle() method, when called with the name of a nonexistent column, caused a segmentation fault. (Bug#21036)

Cluster API: When multiple processes or threads in parallel performed the same ordered scan with exclusive lock and updated the retrieved records, the scan could skip some records, which as a result were not updated. (Bug#20446)

The REPEAT() function could return NULL when passed a column for the count argument. (Bug#24947)

mysql_upgrade failed if the --password (or -p) option was given. (Bug#24896)

With innodb_file_per_table enabled, InnoDB displayed incorrect file times in the output from SHOW TABLE STATUS. (Bug#24712)

ALTER ENABLE KEYS or ALTER TABLE DISABLE KEYS combined with another ALTER TABLE option other than RENAME TO did nothing. In addition, if ALTER TABLE was used on a table having disabled keys, the keys of the resulting table were enabled. (Bug#24395)

The InnoDB mutex structure was simplified to reduce memory load. (Bug#24386)

The --extern option for mysql-test-run.pl did not function correctly. (Bug#24354)

Foreign key identifiers for InnoDB tables could not contain certain characters. (Bug#24299)

The mysql.server script used the source command, which is less portable than the . command; it now uses . instead. (Bug#24294)

ALTER TABLE statements that performed both RENAME TO and {ENABLE|DISABLE} KEYS operations caused a server crash. (Bug#24219)

The loose index scan optimization for GROUP BY with MIN or MAX was not applied within other queries, such as CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ..., INSERT ... SELECT ..., or in the FROM clauses of subqueries. (Bug#24156)

There was a race condition in the InnoDB fil_flush_file_spaces() function. (Bug#24089)

This regression was introduced by Bug#15653

Subqueries for which a pushed-down condition did not produce exactly one key field could cause a server crash. (Bug#24056)

The size of MEMORY tables and internal temporary tables was limited to 4GB on 64-bit Windows systems. (Bug#24052)

Some yaSSL-related memory leaks detected by Valgrind were fixed. (Bug#23981)

The internal SQL interpreter of InnoDB placed an unnecessary lock on the supremum record when innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog=1. This caused an assertion failure when InnoDB was built with debugging enabled. (Bug#23769)

ROW_COUNT() did not work properly as an argument to a stored procedure. (Bug#23760)

LAST_DAY('0000-00-00') could cause a server crash. (Bug#23653)

A trigger that invoked a stored function could cause a server crash when activated by different client connections. (Bug#23651)

The stack size for NetWare binaries was increased to 128KB to prevent problems caused by insufficient stack size. (Bug#23504)

If elements in a non-top-level IN subquery were accessed by an index and the subquery result set included a NULL value, the quantified predicate that contained the subquery was evaluated to NULL when it should return a non-NULL value. (Bug#23478)

When applying the group_concat_max_len limit, GROUP_CONCAT() could truncate multi-byte characters in the middle. (Bug#23451)

MySQL 5.0.26 introduced an ABI incompatibility, which this release reverts. Programs compiled against 5.0.26 are not compatible with any other version and must be recompiled. (Bug#23427)

M % 0 returns NULL, but ( M % 0) IS NULL evaluated to false. (Bug#23411)

mysql_affected_rows() could return values different from mysql_stmt_affected_rows() for the same sequence of statements. (Bug#23383)

For not-yet-authenticated connections, the Time column in SHOW PROCESSLIST was a random value rather than NULL. (Bug#23379)

Accuracy was improved for comparisons between DECIMAL columns and numbers represented as strings. (Bug#23260)

MySQL failed to build on Linux/Alpha. (Bug#23256)

This regression was introduced by Bug#21250

Calculation of COUNT(DISTINCT), AVG(DISTINCT), or SUM(DISTINCT) when they are referenced more than once in a single query with GROUP BY could cause a server crash. (Bug#23184)

Insufficient memory (myisam_sort_buffer_size) could cause a server crash for several operations on MyISAM tables: repair table, create index by sort, repair by sort, parallel repair, bulk insert. (Bug#23175)

The column default value in the output from SHOW COLUMNS or SELECT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS was truncated to 64 characters. (Bug#23037)

Changes to character set variables prior to an action on a replication-ignored table were forgotten by slave servers. (Bug#22877)

InnoDB exhibited thread thrashing with more than 50 concurrent connections under an update-intensive workload. (Bug#22868)

The return value from my_seek() was ignored. (Bug#22828)

The optimizer failed to use equality propagation for BETWEEN and IN predicates with string arguments. (Bug#22753)

The Handler_rollback status variable sometimes was incremented when no rollback had taken place. (Bug#22728)

The Host column in SHOW PROCESSLIST output was blank when the server was started with the --skip-grant-tables option. (Bug#22723)

If a table contains an AUTO_INCREMENT column, inserting into an insertable view on the table that does not include the AUTO_INCREMENT column should not change the value of LAST_INSERT_ID(), because the side effects of inserting default values into columns not part of the view should not be visible. MySQL was incorrectly setting LAST_INSERT_ID() to zero. (Bug#22584)

Queries using a column alias in an expression as part of an ORDER BY clause failed, an example of such a query being SELECT mycol + 1 AS mynum FROM mytable ORDER BY 30 - mynum. (Bug#22457)

Using EXPLAIN caused a server crash for queries that selected from INFORMATION_SCHEMA in a subquery in the FROM clause. (Bug#22413)

Instance Manager had a race condition involving mysqld PID file removal. (Bug#22379)

A server crash occurred when using LOAD DATA to load a table containing a NOT NULL spatial column, when the statement did not load the spatial column. Now a NULL supplied to NOT NULL column error occurs. (Bug#22372)

The optimizer used the ref join type rather than eq_ref for a simple join on strings. (Bug#22367)

Some queries that used MAX() and GROUP BY could incorrectly return an empty result. (Bug#22342)

DATE_ADD() requires complete dates with no “zero” parts, but sometimes did not return NULL when given such a date. (Bug#22229)

If an init_connect SQL statement produced an error, the connection was silently terminated with no error message. Now the server writes a warning to the error log. (Bug#22158)

Some small double precision numbers (such as 1.00000001e-300) that should have been accepted were truncated to zero. (Bug#22129)

For a nonexistent table, DROP TEMPORARY TABLE failed with an incorrect error message if read_only was enabled. (Bug#22077)

Trailing spaces were not removed from Unicode CHAR column values when used in indexes. This resulted in excessive usage of storage space, and could affect the results of some ORDER BY queries that made use of such indexes.

(Bug#22052)

The code for generating USE statements for binary logging of CREATE PROCEDURE statements resulted in confusing output from mysqlbinlog for DROP PROCEDURE statements. (Bug#22043)

Use of a DES-encrypted SSL certificate file caused a server crash. (Bug#21868)

Use of PREPARE with a CREATE PROCEDURE statement that contained a syntax error caused a server crash. (Bug#21856)

Adding a day, month, or year interval to a DATE value produced a DATE, but adding a week interval produced a DATETIME value. Now all produce a DATE value. (Bug#21811)

In some cases, the parser failed to distinguish a user-defined function from a stored function. (Bug#21809)

Use of a subquery that invoked a function in the column list of the outer query resulted in a memory leak. (Bug#21798)

Inserting a default or invalid value into a spatial column could fail with Unknown error rather than a more appropriate error. (Bug#21790)

It was possible to use DATETIME values whose year, month, and day parts were all zeroes but whose hour, minute, and second parts contained nonzero values, an example of such an illegal DATETIME being '0000-00-00 11:23:45'.

(Bug#21789)

yaSSL crashed on pre-Pentium Intel CPUs. (Bug#21765)

Evaluation of subqueries that require the filesort algorithm were allocating and freeing the sort_buffer_size buffer many times, resulting in slow performance. Now the buffer is allocated once and reused. (Bug#21727)

Through the C API, the member strings in MYSQL_FIELD for a query that contains expressions may return incorrect results. (Bug#21635)

Selecting from a MERGE table could result in a server crash if the underlying tables had fewer indexes than the MERGE table itself. (Bug#21617, Bug#22937)

View columns were always handled as having implicit derivation, leading to illegal mix of collation errors for some views in UNION operations. Now view column derivation comes from the original expression given in the view definition. (Bug#21505)

InnoDB crashed while performing XA recovery of prepared transactions. (Bug#21468)

INET_ATON() returned a signed BIGINT value, not an unsigned value. (Bug#21466)

After FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK followed by UNLOCK TABLES, attempts to drop or alter a stored routine failed with an error that the routine did not exist, and attempts to execute the routine failed with a lock conflict error. (Bug#21414)

It was possible to set the backslash character (“ \ ”) as the delimiter character using DELIMITER, but not actually possible to use it as the delimiter. (Bug#21412)

For multiple-table UPDATE statements, storage engines were not notified of duplicate-key errors. (Bug#21381)

Within a prepared statement, SELECT (COUNT(*) = 1) (or similar use of other aggregate functions) did not return the correct result for statement re-execution. (Bug#21354)

It was possible for a stored routine with a non-latin1 name to cause a stack overrun. (Bug#21311)

Certain malformed INSERT statements could crash the mysql client. (Bug#21142)

Creating a TEMPORARY table with the same name as an existing table that was locked by another client could result in a lock conflict for DROP TEMPORARY TABLE because the server unnecessarily tried to acquire a name lock. (Bug#21096)

Incorrect results could be obtained from re-execution of a parametrized prepared statement or a stored routine with a SELECT that uses LEFT JOIN with a second table having only one row. (Bug#21081)

Within a stored routine, a view definition cannot refer to routine parameters or local variables. However, an error did not occur until the routine was called. Now it occurs during parsing of the routine creation statement.

(Bug#20953)

In mysql, invoking connect or \r with very long db_name or host_name parameters caused buffer overflow. (Bug#20894)

LIKE searches failed for indexed utf8 character columns. (Bug#20471)

With lower_case_table_names set to 1, SHOW CREATE TABLE printed incorrect output for table names containing Turkish I (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE). (Bug#20404)

A query with a subquery that references columns of a view from the outer SELECT could return an incorrect result if used from a prepared statement. (Bug#20327)

For queries that select from a view, the server was returning MYSQL_FIELD metadata inconsistently for view names and table names. For view columns, the server now returns the view name in the table field and, if the column selects from an underlying table, the table name in the org_table field. (Bug#20191)

Invalidating the query cache caused a server crash for INSERT INTO ... SELECT statements that selected from a view. (Bug#20045)

With SQL_MODE=TRADITIONAL, MySQL incorrectly aborted on warnings within stored routines and triggers. (Bug#20028)

mysql-test-run did not work correctly for RPM-based installations. (Bug#17194)

IN() and CHAR() can return NULL, but did not signal that to the query processor, causing incorrect results for IS NULL operations. (Bug#17047)

A client library crash was caused by executing a statement such as SELECT * FROM t1 PROCEDURE ANALYSE() using a server side cursor on a table t1 that does not have the same number of columns as the output from PROCEDURE ANALYSE(). (Bug#17039)

The WITH CHECK OPTION for a view failed to prevent storing invalid column values for UPDATE statements. (Bug#16813)

Slave servers would retry the execution of a SQL statement an infinite number of times, ignoring the value SLAVE_TRANSACTION_RETRIES when using the NDB engine. (Bug#16228)

A literal string in a GROUP BY clause could be interpreted as a column name. (Bug#14019)

Instance Manager didn't close the client socket file when starting a new mysqld instance. mysqld inherited the socket, causing clients connected to Instance Manager to hang. (Bug#12751)

Entries in the slow query log could have an incorrect Rows_examined value. (Bug#12240)

Warnings were generated when explicitly casting a character to a number (for example, CAST('x' AS SIGNED)), but not for implicit conversions in simple arithmetic operations (such as 'x' + 0). Now warnings are generated in all cases. (Bug#11927)

Lack of validation for input and output TIME values resulted in several problems: SEC_TO_TIME() in some cases did not clip large values to the TIME range appropriately; SEC_TO_TIME() treated BIGINT UNSIGNED values as signed; only truncation warnings were produced when both truncation and out-of-range TIME values occurred. (Bug#11655, Bug#20927)

Metadata for columns calculated from scalar subqueries was limited to integer, double, or string, even if the actual type of the column was different. (Bug#11032)
