Before this change, the functions BENCHMARK, ENCODE, DECODE and FORMAT could
only accept a constant for some parameters.
After this change, this restriction has been removed. An implication is that
these functions can also be used in prepared statements.
The change consist of changing the following classes:
- Item_func_benchmark
- Item_func_encode
- Item_func_decode
- Item_func_format
to:
- only accept Item* in the constructor,
- and evaluate arguments during calls to val_xxx()
which fits the general design of all the other functions.
The 'TODO' items identified in item_create.cc during the work done for
Bug 21114 are addressed by this fix, as a natural consequence of aligning
the design.
In the 'func_str' test, a single very long test line involving an explain
extended select with many functions has been rewritten into multiple
separate tests, to improve maintainability.
The result of explain extended select decode(encode(...)) has changed,
since the encode and decode functions now print all their parameters.
strings
MySQL is setting the flag HA_END_SPACE_KEYS for all the keys that reference
text or varchar columns with collation different than binary.
This was done to handle correctly the situation where a lookup on such a key
may return more than 1 row because of the presence of many rows that differ
only by the amount of trailing space in the table's string column.
Inserting such values however appears to violate the unique checks on
INSERT/UPDATE. Thus that flag must not be set as it will prevent the optimizer
from choosing a faster access method.
This fix removes the setting of the HA_END_SPACE_KEYS flag.
equal constant under any circumstances.
In fact this substitution can be allowed if the field is
not of a type string or if the field reference serves as
an argument of a comparison predicate.
- Make the range-et-al optimizer produce E(#table records after table
condition is applied),
- Make the join optimizer use this value,
- Add "filtered" column to EXPLAIN EXTENDED to show
fraction of records left after table condition is applied
- Adjust test results, add comments
for class Item_func_trim.
For 4.1 it caused wrong output for EXPLAIN EXTENDED commands
if expressions with the TRIM function of two arguments were used.
For 5.0 it caused an error message when trying to select
from a view with the TRIM function of two arguments.
This unexpected error message was due to the fact that the
print method for the class Item_func_trim was inherited from
the class Item_func. Yet the TRIM function does not take a list
of its arguments. Rather it takes the arguments in the form:
[{BOTH | LEADING | TRAILING} [remstr] FROM] str) |
[remstr FROM] str
Adding test case.
item_strfunc.cc:
bug#11728 string function LEFT, strange undocumented behaviour
Fixing LEFT and RIGHT return NULL if the second
argument is NULL.
The implementation of the method Item_func_reverse::val_str
for the REVERSE function modified the argument of the function.
This led to wrong results for expressions that contained
REVERSE(ref) if ref occurred somewhere else in the expressions.
argument can lead to a wrong result.
md5() and sha() functions treat their arguments as case sensitive strings.
But when they are compared their arguments were compared as a case
insensitive strings which leads to two functions with different arguments
and thus different results to being identical. This can lead to a wrong
decision made in the range optimizer and thus lead to a wrong result set.
Item_func_md5::fix_length_and_dec() and Item_func_sha::fix_length_and_dec()
functions now set binary collation on their arguments.
- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
(Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code
Ensure that ccache is also used for C programs
mysql: Ensure that 'delimiter' works the same way in batch mode as in normal mode
mysqldump: Change to use ;; (instead of //) as a stored procedure/trigger delimiter
Fixed test cases by adding missing DROP's and rename views to be of type 'v#'
Removed MY_UNIX_PATH from fn_format()
Removed current_db_used from TABLE_LIST
Removed usage of 'current_thd' in Item_splocal
Removed some compiler warnings
A bit faster longlong2str code
Corrected results after the fix for bug #12791.
func_test.result, func_test.test:
Added test cases for bug #12791.
item_func.h, item_func.cc:
Fixed bug #12791.
Made LEAST/GREATES fully Oracle compliant.
LEAST/GREATEST did not return NULL if only some
arguments were NULLs. This did not comply with Oracle.
BUG #11104
Took out the offset-=delimiter_length-1 out of the for loop. It was causing
basically this:
select substring_index('the king of the the hill', 'the', -2) to not work.
The first iteration, offset would be initialised to 24, then strstr would
point at 'the king of the the* hill' ('*'means right before the
character following), returning a offset of 16. The for loop would then
decrement offset by two (3 - 1), to 14, now pointing at
"the king of th*e the hill", _skipping_ past the 'e' in the second to last
'the', and therefore strstr would never have a chance of matching the
second to last 'the', then moving on to the 'the' at the begginning of the
string!
In a nutshell, offset was being decremented by too great a value, preventing
the second to last 'the' from being ever found, hence the result of
'king of the the hill' from the query that is reported in the bug report
func_str.test:
BUG #11104
Added tests to make sure fix addresses issues in original bug report
func_str.result:
BUG #11104
New results for new tests
