Bug #71595	Fedora20 "undefined symbol: test"
Submitted:	5 Feb 2014 16:14	Modified:	6 Feb 2014 10:43
Reporter:	Robert Franz	Email Updates:
Status:	Patch approved	Impact on me:	None
Category:	Connector / ODBC	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	mysql 5.6, odbc 5.2	OS:	Linux (only Fedora20)
Assigned to:	Bogdan Degtyariov	CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	fedora20, ODBC Connector, undefined symbol: test

Description:
as soon as the odbc connector makes an sql request the software stops working while looking for symbol "test"

it's not possible to make any request on the database via odbc-connector.

both library ansi and unicode has the error
the error apear only with fedora20 and the mysql-rpms from the community.

access the mysql database via mysql -u root -p works as expected

How to repeat:
install fedora20 newly.
install mysql-server & co (as i know also with later installation)
install community repository
yum update

[root@localhost server]# isql -v MySQL
SQL> select * from User;
isql: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5a.so: undefined symbol: test

Suggested fix:
look to the code/binary for symbol 'test' in odbc-connector-mysql.
probably its a dynamically loaded symbol. because ldd found all libraries.
probably only rebuild rpm for the community
error in spec file?

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your interest in MySQL software.

This bug should have been fixed some time ago. I have just checked our code and the macro test() we had before is not there anymore.
Which exact version of Connector/ODBC 5.2.x you tried?
Thanks.

Hi Robert,

Sorry for the mistake. The patch was pushed some time ago, but it has not been released yet.

The patch was pushed into 5.2 and 5.3 Connector/ODBC source trees.
