Bug #22232332: SAVING TEXT FIELD TO TEXT VARIABLE IN A
PROCEDURE RESULTS IN GARBAGE BYTES Issue: ----- This problem occurs under the following conditions: a) Stored procedure has a variable is declared as TEXT/BLOB. b) Data is copied into the the variable using the SELECT...INTO syntax from a TEXT/BLOB column. Data corruption can occur in such cases. SOLUTION: --------- The blob type does not allocate space for the string to be stored. Instead it contains a pointer to the source string. Since the source is deallocated immediately after the select statement, this can cause data corruption. As part of the fix for Bug #21143080, when the source was part of the table's write-set, blob would allocate the neccessary space. But this fix missed the possibility that, as in the above case, the target might be a variable. The fix will add the copy_blobs check that was removed by the earlier fix.
