Bug Fixes
TiDB
- Fix the
should ensure all columns have the same length
error that occurs because theErrTruncate/Overflow
error is incorrectly handled in thebuiltinCastRealAsDecimalSig
function #18967 - Fix the issue that the
pre_split_regions
table option does not work in the partitioned table #18837 - Fixe the issue that might cause a large transaction to be terminated prematurely #18813
- Fix the issue that using the
collation
functions get wrong query results #18735 - Fix the bug that the
getAutoIncrementID()
function does not consider thetidb_snapshot
session variable, which might cause the dumper tool to fail with thetable not exist
error #18692 - Fix the
unknown column error
for SQL statement likeselect a from t having t.a
#18434 - Fix the panic issue that writing the 64-bit unsigned type into the hash partitioned table causes overflow and gets an unexpected negative number when the partition key is the integer type #18186
