an UPDATE eating all disk space

Asked by Steven De Coeyer

Hello

I was wondering if MariaDB is also affected by this MySQL bug:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65745

The bug in a nutshell: "An UPDATE that should only modify a single row runs forever and blows up table / tablespace size until there is no more disk space available"

Kind regards,
Steven

No it's not.

With XtraDB - most certainly not, because that bug was caused by another bug fix, and that latter bug fix is not in the XtraDB yet.

With InnoDB (if you run MariaDB with InnoDB plugin) - I was not able to repeat the bug, because optimizer uses a slightly different execution plan, so the query from the bug report does not trigger the bug. But perhaps a different specially crafted query can still trigger that bug.
