MySQL errors in 1.7.0


James

Anonymous
We are getting a bunch of MySQL errors in our site. We just upgraded to 1.7.0 a couple of weeks ago. Here is one of them we get several times a day.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM%'Wink AND (title LIKE '%youtube%' OR introtext LIKE '%youtube%' OR bodytext LIKE '%youtube%'Wink)

Any suggestions of where to find this error and how to fix?

Can you reproduce the error when you enter that search term?

The SQL query is missing the table name. The introtext/bodytext looks like this would be related to stories, but I'd doubt that we have such a glaring bug there. Could this come from a plugin that's making use of stories?

bye, Dirk

Hi Dirk,

I can't reproduce the issue my self, but I see it continuously in the logs. This is on the mac os x hints site, which we upgraded a few weeks ago. I did the upgrade for them, with Robs input.

Here are more lines from just an hour ago:

I had a look through the code and to me this doesn't look like it's an SQL request produced by Geeklog. But since it doesn't happen all the time, I may have missed something, so I've asked Sami for a second opinion. He's travelling this week though, so it may take a few days for him to get back to us.

It would help if you could find a way to reproduce the error.

bye, Dirk

As Dirk mentioned it does look like it fails searching the stories of the site. But I think there are two terms being used here. If I match it up against a SELECT statment that works (alignment may be a bit out)
Text Formatted Code
SELECT COUNT(*)         FROM%') AND (title LIKE '%safari%' OR introtext LIKE '%safari%' OR bodytext LIKE '%safari%'))
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...  AND ((title LIKE '%safari%' OR introtext LIKE '%safari%' OR bodytext LIKE '%safari%'))
You can see that if it were one search term there would be a double bracket after the AND, eg. AND (( instead of %' ) AND ( which is what the SELECT statment would look like when using two or more terms.
So it would appear the search term is something along the lines of "... FROM safari," testing this on geeklog.net causes an error. I've just commited a patch that should fix the issue.
