Build Identifier:

It is possible to create a table using mclient which has a constraint repeated as in the sample schema provided. Performing an insert on the table will then crash the server with a SIGSEGV. See the following SQL script. Note that if one dumps the invalid database with msqldump and then tries to reload the database into an empty database using mclient, the repeated constraint will be flagged as an error.

CREATE TABLE exchange (
pk_symbol VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT exchange_pk PRIMARY KEY (pk_symbol)
);

CREATE TABLE entity (
pk_uuid UUID NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
industry VARCHAR(64),
category VARCHAR(64),
subcategory VARCHAR(64),
CONSTRAINT entity_pk PRIMARY KEY (pk_uuid)
);

CREATE TABLE instrument (
pk_uuid UUID NOT NULL,
symbol VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
fk_exchange VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
fk_entity_uuid UUID NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT instrument_pk PRIMARY KEY (pk_uuid),
-- INCORRECT DOUBLE CONSTRAINT
CONSTRAINT instrument_exchange_fk FOREIGN KEY (fk_exchange) REFERENCES exchange (pk_symbol),
CONSTRAINT instrument_exchange_fk FOREIGN KEY (fk_exchange) REFERENCES exchange (pk_symbol),
CONSTRAINT instrument_entity_fk FOREIGN KEY (fk_entity_uuid) REFERENCES entity (pk_uuid)
);

INSERT INTO exchange (pk_symbol, name) VALUES ('EXCH', 'The exchange');
INSERT INTO entity (pk_uuid, name, industry, category, subcategory) VALUES ('52aaa24f-c9cb-4421-9501-33be20d80dcc', 'NAME', 'XXX', 'YYY', 'ZZZ');

--Crash the server with SIGSEGV
INSERT INTO instrument (pk_uuid, symbol, fk_exchange, fk_entity_uuid) VALUES ('24a2a880-451c-4401-94af-93715ad0baf6', 'ABC', 'EXCH', '52aaa24f-c9cb-4421-9501-33be20d80dcc');

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Load the provided schema into a new database and the server will crash with a SIGSEGV on the last insert statement.

Actual Results:

8233 2015-10-08 15:09:51 MSG dbtst[21580]: loading sql script: 80_udf.sql
8234 2015-10-08 15:09:51 MSG dbtst[21580]: loading sql script: 80_udf_hge.sql

8237 2015-10-08 15:09:51 MSG dbtst[21580]: loading sql script: 99_system.sql
8238 2015-10-08 15:22:17 MSG merovingian[796]: database 'dbtst' (21580) was killed by signal SIGSEGV

Expected Results:

mclient should stop processing and emit an error message when it sees the repeated constraint.
