Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is
missing after downgrade Obsolete arc/ directory and view .frm file backup support has been removed by the patch for bug 17823. However, that bugfix caused a problem with "live downgrades" of the server: if we rename some view 4 times under 5.1.29/5.0.72 and then try to rename it under 5.1.28/5.0.70 on the same database, the server fails with a error: query 'RENAME TABLE ... TO ...' failed: 6: Error on delete of '....frm-0001' (Errcode: 2) Also .frm file of that view may be lost (renamed to .frm~). The server failed because it tried to rename latest 3 backup .frm files renaming the view: the server used an integer value of the "revision" field of .frm file to extract those file names. After the fix for bug 17823 those files were not created/maintained any more, however the "revision" field was incremented as usual. So, the server failed renaming non existent files. This fix solves the problem by removing the support for "revision" .frm file field: 1. New server silently ignores existent "revision" fields in old .frm files and never write it down; 2. Old server assumes, that missing "revision" field in new .frm files means default value of 0. 3. Accordingly to the fix for bug 17823 the new server drops arc/ directory on alter/rename view, so after "live downgrade" old server begins maintenance of the arc/ directory from scratch without conflicts with .frm files. sql/parse_file.cc: Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is missing after downgrade 1. static write_parameter(): the old_version parameter and the section for FILE_OPTIONS_REV have been re moved. 2. write_parameter(): the max_versions parameter has been removed; 3. sql_create_definition_file(): removal of dead code; 4. rename_in_schema_file(): revision and num_view_backups parameters and dead code have been removed; 5. File_parser::parse(): FILE_OPTIONS_REV section has been removed. sql/parse_file.h: Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is missing after downgrade 1. The FILE_OPTIONS_REV constant has been removed. 2. sql_create_definition_file and rename_in_schema_file functions: obsolete versions, revision and num_view_backups parameters have been removed. sql/sql_db.cc: Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is missing after downgrade Commentary update. sql/sql_trigger.cc: Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is missing after downgrade sql_create_definition_file() calls have been updates to new parameter lists. sql/sql_view.cc: Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is missing after downgrade 1. The mysql_create_view function code is used for both CREATE VIEW and ALTER queries, but query cache is necessary for ALTER command only. Check for a non first view revision has been replaced with a direct check for ALTER query. 2. The num_view_backups global constant has been removed. 3. view_parameters: the "revision" .frm field support has been removed. 4. sql_create_definition_file and rename_in_schema_file function calls have been updates to new parameter lists. sql/table.h: Bug #40021: Renaming view fails, archived .frm for view is missing after downgrade TABLE_LIST: the revision field has been removed.
