MDEV-9408 CREATE TABLE SELECT MAX(int_column) creates different columns for table vs view
There were three almost identical pieces of the code:
- Field *Item_func::tmp_table_field();
- Field *Item_sum::create_tmp_field();
- Field *create_tmp_field_from_item();
with a difference in very small details (hence the bugs):
Only Item_func::tmp_table_field() was correct, the other two were not.
Removing the two incorrect pieces of the redundant code.
Joining these three functions/methods into a single virtual method
Item::create_tmp_field().
Additionally, moving Item::make_string_field() and
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() from the public into the
protected section of the class declaration, as they are now not
needed outside of Item.
Item_func_hybrid_field_type did not return correct field_type(), cmp_type()
and result_type() in some cases, because cached_result_type and
cached_field_type were set in independent pieces of the code and
did not properly match to each other.
Fix:
- Removing Item_func_hybrid_result_type
- Deriving Item_func_hybrid_field_type directly from Item_func
- Introducing a new class Type_handler which guarantees that
field_type(), cmp_type() and result_type() are always properly synchronized
and using the new class in Item_func_hybrid_field_type.
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
MDEV-6789 segfault in Item_func_from_unixtime::get_date on updating table with virtual columns
* prohibit VALUES in partitioning expression
* prohibit user and system variables in virtual column expressions
* fix Item_func_date_format to cache locale (for %M/%W to return the same as MONTHNAME/DAYNAME)
* fix Item_func_from_unixtime to cache time_zone directly, not THD (and not to crash)
* added tests for other incorrectly allowed (in vcols) functions to see that they don't crash
The crash happened because Item_func_monthname was derived from
Item_func_month, so Item_func_monthname::is_null() did not work fine.
Backporting a change from 5.5: Item_func_monthname is now derived from
Item_str_func.
Other fix of maybe_null problem and revert of revno: 3608 "MDEV-3873 & MDEV-3876 & MDEV-3912 : Wrong result (extra rows) with ALL subquery from a MERGE view."
includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
get_datetime_value() should not double-cache its own Item_cache_temporal items,
but it *should* cache other Item_cache items, such as Item_cache_str.
sql/item.h:
shortcut, to avoid going through the switch in Item::cmp_type()
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
even if the item is Item_cache_str - it still needs to be converted and cached.
sql/item_timefunc.h:
all descendants of Item_temporal_func always have cmp_type==TIME_RESULT.
Even Item_date_add_interval, that might have field_type == MYSQL_TYPE_STRING.
from a MERGE view.
The problem was in the lost ability to be null for the table of a left join if it
is a view/derived table.
It hapenned because setup_table_map(), was called earlier then we merged
the view or derived.
Fixed by propagating new maybe_null flag during Item::update_used_tables().
Change in join_outer.test and join_outer_jcl6.test appeared because
IS NULL reported no used tables (i.e. constant) for argument which could not be
NULL and new maybe_null flag was propagated for IS NULL argument (Item_field)
because table the Item_field belonged to changed its maybe_null status.
