Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.
If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information
about accessing the source trees is available at
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html
using the latest 4.1 source tree I've got
the proper result
(query select trim(upper('foo')) regexp ('^foo$');)

Description: Queries that worked in 3.23 now fail in 4.1alpha. The defining characteristic seems to be nesting two or more functions around the string to use to match against the regexp. How to repeat: Run the following query in 3.23 and 4.1a: select trim(upper('foo')) regexp ('^foo$') as trimUpper, upper('foo') regexp ('^foo$') as justUpper, trim('foo') regexp ('^foo$') as justTrim, trim(upper('foo')) as trimUpperFoo, upper('foo') as upperFoo, trim('foo') as trimFoo ; Using 3.23, I get: +-----------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------+---------+ | trimUpper | justUpper | justTrim | trimUpperFoo | upperFoo | trimFoo | +-----------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------+---------+ | 1 | 1 | 1 | FOO | FOO | foo | +-----------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.37 sec) Running this under 4.1a, I get: +-----------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------+---------+ | trimUpper | justUpper | justTrim | trimUpperFoo | upperFoo | trimFoo | +-----------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------+---------+ | 0 | 1 | 1 | FOO | FOO | foo | +-----------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
