The patch for `MDEV-20795 CAST(inet6 AS BINARY) returns wrong result`
unintentionally changed what Item_char_typecast::type_handler()
returns. This broke UNIONs with the BINARY() function, as the Aria
engine started to get columns of unexpected data types.
Restoring previous behaviour, to return
Type_handler::string_type_handler(max_length).
The prototype for Item_handed_func::return_type_handler() has changed
from:
const Type_handler *return_type_handler() const
to:
const Type_handler *return_type_handler(const Item_handled_func *) const
These two methods:
- Item_result_field::create_tmp_field_ex()
- Item_func_user_var::create_tmp_field_ex()
had duplicate code, except that they used a different type handler.
Adding a protected method Item_result_field::create_tmp_field_ex_from_handler()
with a "const Type_handler*" parameter, and reusing it from the
two mentioned methods.
This change takes into account a column's GENERATED ALWAYS AS
expression dependcy on sql_mode's PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH and
NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION flags.
Indexed virtual columns as well as persistent generated columns are
now not allowed to have such dependencies to avoid inconsistent data
or index files on sql_mode changes.
So an error is now returned in cases like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->VARCHAR or CHAR->TEXT = ERROR
);
Functions RPAD() and RTRIM() can now remove dependency on
PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. So this can be used instead:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (RTRIM(a)) PERSISTENT
);
Note, unlike CHAR->VARCHAR and CHAR->TEXT this still works,
not RPAD(a) is needed:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v CHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->CHAR is OK
);
More sql_mode flags may affect values of generated columns.
They will be addressed separately.
See comments in sql_mode.h for implementation details.
This patch introduces the optimization that allows range optimizer to
consider index range scans that are built employing NOT NULL predicates
inferred from WHERE conditions and ON expressions.
The patch adds a new optimizer switch not_null_range_scan.
The bug occurs because Item_func_set_user var is allowed to be pushed
into materialized derived table/view.
To fix it excl_dep_on_table() as added to Item_func_set_user_var class
to prevent pushdown.
The bug appears because not all conditions are found to be knowingly
true or false in WHERE after HAVING pushdown optimization.
Impossible WHERE can be found much earlier compared with how it is done now.
To fix it and_new_conditions_to_optimized_cond() is changed.
The bug occurs because of the wrong pushdown of constant function
defined with subquery from HAVING into WHERE. Subqueries can't be
pushed into WHERE.
To fix it with_subquery() call is added to check if the function contains
subquery.
This bug is caused by pushdown from HAVING into WHERE.
It appears because condition that is pushed wasn't fixed.
It is also discovered that condition pushdown from HAVING into
WHERE is done wrong. There is no need to build clones for some
conditions that can be pushed. They can be simply moved from HAVING
into WHERE without cloning.
build_pushable_cond_for_having_pushdown(),
remove_pushed_top_conjuncts_for_having() methods are changed.
It is found that there is no transformation made for fields of
pushed condition.
field_transformer_for_having_pushdown transformer is added.
New tests are added. Some comments are changed.
