Next LTS version in February 2025?
by Otto Kekäläinen 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

Hi! Traditionally there has been a new major MariaDB version in February of the year Debian has a new major version. What is the plan for February 2025? I was reading https://mariadb.org/about/#maintenance-policy and old mariadb.orb blog posts but none was explicit about this.

Like direct insert into a timestamp column no longer uses timezone - e.g. timestamp within dst switch time is inserted correctly. and vice versa, when from_unixtime is converted to a string, like `insert ... values(concat(from_unixtime(...)))` then TIME_ZONE_USED is still set and show binlog events (or mysqlbinlog) should show that the timezone was correctly binlogged, as before. > tz= thd->variables.time_zone; > Type_std_attributes::set( > Type_temporal_attributes_not_fixed_dec(MAX_DATETIME_WIDTH, Regards, Sergei Chief Architect, MariaDB Server and security(a)mariadb.org

MariaDB patches in Debian

27 Aug '24

Hi! Could perhaps Tuukka or Daniel review the patches currently carried in Debian if some of them would be applicable to be imported or re-implemented directly upstream so they can be dropped in Debian? https://udd.debian.org/patches.cgi?src=mariadb&version=1%3A11.4.3-1 Thanks

Suggestion: use 'main' as the development branch instead of an ever changing 11.x
by Otto Kekäläinen 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

Hi! Has the core developers had discussions about using branch name 'main' for development instead of switching to a new branch every 3 months? If all new features and other additions would always target the branch 'main' it would lower the barrier of entry for new contributors, and decrease the number of unnecessary rebases done by contributors. If the permanent development target was 'main', you would need to create new 11.x branches only at "freeze" when a new major version branch is cut for release. MariaDB is currently the only open source project I know that does *not* have a main/master/trunk branch and instead does these constant new branch names. I imagine this is not only annoying for contributors, but also the core developers who waste time asking contributors to rebase PRs every 3 months (see https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2556 and https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2671 as examples). - Otto

Aha, I see. Following up on this, I found this comment in the code Stops the scheduler (again). Waits for acknowledgement from the scheduler that it has stopped - synchronous stopping. Already running events will not be stopped. If the user needs them stopped manual intervention is needed. So then the behaviour seen in the test case is expected, and just fixing the test to handle the possible race should be correct. I also see in the code that the thread running the events starts by loading the event definition from the system tables (mysql.event ...), db_repository->load_named_event(). So there should be no memory issues even if the event is dropped while an instance of it is running. Thanks! - Kristian.

The event immediately ceases being active, and is deleted completely from the server. Thanks for the link, Andrei! Interesting, this doesn't seem to be how it works.

I wonder if that's a bug, or if the documentation is wrong? And if it is a bug, if there are any use-after-free or similar memory issues with the event continuing to run after being dropped? Valgrind doesn't complain... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SET GLOBAL event_scheduler= OFF; CREATE TABLE t1(a INT); CREATE EVENT ev1 ON SCHEDULE EVERY 5 SECOND DO INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(SLEEP(3)); Warnings: Warning 1105 Event scheduler is switched off, use SET GLOBAL event_scheduler=ON to enable it.
