Description:
main.limit test case fails when running 'make test'.  The output from mysql test is:

[ pass ]            555

How to repeat:

unsure.

Thank you for the report.

I can not repeat described behavior. Please provide configure options you used.

Thnak you for the feedback.

I still can not repeat described behavior. Please try with current version 5.1.25 and inform us if problem still exists on your side.

I can reproduce this using the source checked out from Bazaar.

Platform: Mac OS X 10.5.3 Intel (apple-darwin9.3.0)

MySQL 5.0.66 (revno 2644):      PASS
MySQL 5.1.27 (revno 2662):      FAIL
MySQL 6.0.6-alpha (revno 2671): FAIL

Steps to reproduce:

$ configure --with-innodb --with-ssl
$ make
$ cd mysql-test
$ perl mysql-test-run limit

Output for MySQL 5.1.27 and 6.0.6-alpha:

I too get this error when running main.limit using Ubuntu 8.04 using the source code from the mysql-6.0-falcon tree (6.0.7 alpha):

Thank you for the report.

Verified with configure provided by Olav (configure --with-innodb --with-ssl)

A variation of Bug#30639
[10 Oct 2008 18:40] Davi Arnaut
To reliably repeat, build a 32-bit MySQL with the configure option --without-big-tables.

Test case:

select 1 as a limit 4294967296,10;

This causes 4294967296 to be truncated to 0 since offset_limit_cnt (ha_rows) is 32-bits integer and the limit offset is a 64-bits integer (st_select_lex_unit::set_limit). Casting a larger type to a narrower one causes the excess bits on the left to be discarded.

      Bug#37075: offset of limit clause might be truncated to 0 on 32-bits server w/o big tables
      
      The problem is that the offset argument of the limit clause
      might be truncated to 0 on 32-bits server built without big
      tables support. The truncation was happening because the
      original 64-bits long argument was being cast to a 32-bits
      (ha_rows) offset counter.
      
      The solution is to check if the conversing resulted in value
      truncation and if so, the offset is set to the maximum possible
      value that can fit on the type.

On a 32-bit server built without big tables support, the offset
argument in a LIMIT clause might be truncated due to a 64-bit to
32-bit cast.
