Mutli-table uses temporary table to store new values for fields. With the
new values the rowid of the record to be updated is stored in a Field_string
field. Table to be updated is set as source table of the rowid field.
But when the temporary table creates the tmp field for the rowid field it
converts it to a varstring field because the table to be updated was created by
the v4.1. Due to this the stored rowids were broken and no records for
update were found.
The flag can_alter_field_type is added to Field_string class. When it is set to
0 the field won't be converted to varstring. The Field_string::type() function
now always returns MYSQL_TYPE_STRING if can_alter_field_type is set to 0.
The multi_update::initialize_tables() function now sets can_alter_field_type
flag to 0 for the rowid fields denying conversion of the field to a varstring
field.
The wrong value was being reported as the field_length for BIT
fields, resulting in confusion for at least Connector/J. The
field_length is now always the number of bits in the field, as
it should be.
column is increasing when table is recreated with PS/SP":
make use of create_field::char_length more consistent in the code.
Reinit create_field::length from create_field::char_length
for every execution of a prepared statement (actually fixes the
bug).
according to the standard.
The idea is to use Field-classes to implement stored routines
variables. Also, we should provide facade to Item-hierarchy
by Item_field class (it is necessary, since SRVs take part
in expressions).
The patch fixes the following bugs:
- BUG#8702: Stored Procedures: No Error/Warning shown for inappropriate data
type matching;
- BUG#8768: Functions: For any unsigned data type, -ve values can be passed
and returned;
- BUG#8769: Functions: For Int datatypes, out of range values can be passed
and returned;
- BUG#9078: STORED PROCDURE: Decimal digits are not displayed when we use
DECIMAL datatype;
- BUG#9572: Stored procedures: variable type declarations ignored;
- BUG#12903: upper function does not work inside a function;
- BUG#13705: parameters to stored procedures are not verified;
- BUG#13808: ENUM type stored procedure parameter accepts non-enumerated
data;
- BUG#13909: Varchar Stored Procedure Parameter always BINARY string (ignores
CHARACTER SET);
- BUG#14161: Stored procedure cannot retrieve bigint unsigned;
- BUG#14188: BINARY variables have no 0x00 padding;
- BUG#15148: Stored procedure variables accept non-scalar values;
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
field::sort_key() now adds length last for varbinary/blob
VARBINARY/BLOB is now sorted by filesort so that shorter strings comes before longer ones
Fixed issues in test cases from last merge
Added flag to Field::store(longlong) to specify if value is unsigned.
This fixes bug #12750: Incorrect storage of 9999999999999999999 in DECIMAL(19, 0)
Fixed warning from valgrind in CREATE ... SELECT
Fixed double free of mysql.options if reconnect failed
bug #10617: Insert from same table to same table give incorrect result for bit(4) column.
bug #11091: union involving BIT: assertion failure in Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type
bug #11572: MYSQL_TYPE_BIT not taken care of in temp. table creation for VIEWs
Added a test case for bug #11385.
group_by.test:
Added a test case for bug #11385.
field.h:
Fixed bug #11385.
The bug was due to not defined method decimals for the class
Field_datetime.
Added test case for bug #11283.
field.h, field.cc:
Fixed bug #11283: wrong conversion from varchar to decimal.
Added methods Field_string::val_decimal,
Field_varstring::val_decimal, Field_blob::val_decimal.
They are not inherited from the base class Field_longstr
anymore.
