In MariaDB, we have a confusing problem where:
* The transaction_isolation option can be set in a configuration file, but it cannot be set dynamically.
* The tx_isolation system variable can be set dynamically, but it cannot be set in a configuration file.
Therefore, we have two different names for the same thing in different contexts. This is needlessly confusing, and it complicates the documentation. The same thing applys for transaction_read_only.
MySQL 5.7 solved this problem by making them into system variables. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-20.html
This commit takes a similar approach by adding new system variables and marking the original ones as deprecated. This commit also resolves some legacy problems related to SET STATEMENT and transaction_isolation.
:: Syntax change ::
Keyword AUTO enables history partition auto-creation.
Examples:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 MONTH
STARTS '2021-01-01 00:00:00' AUTO PARTITIONS 12;
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME LIMIT 1000 AUTO;
Or with explicit partitions:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO
(PARTITION p0 HISTORY, PARTITION pn CURRENT);
To disable or enable auto-creation one can use ALTER TABLE by adding
or removing AUTO from partitioning specification:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
# Disables auto-creation:
ALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR;
# Enables auto-creation:
ALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
If the rest of partitioning specification is identical to CREATE TABLE
no repartitioning will be done (for details see MDEV-27328).
:: Description ::
Before executing history-generating DML command (see the list of commands below)
add N history partitions, so that N would be sufficient for potentially
generated history. N > 1 may be required when history partitions are switched
by INTERVAL and current_timestamp is N times further than the interval
boundary of the last history partition.
If the last history partition equals or exceeds LIMIT records then new history
partition is created and selected as the working partition. According to
MDEV-28411 partitions cannot be switched (or created) while the command is
running. Thus LIMIT does not carry strict limitation and the history partition
size must be planned as LIMIT value plus average number of history one DML
command can generate.
Auto-creation is implemented by synchronous fast_alter_partition_table() call
from the thread of the executed DML command before the command itself is run
(by the fallback and retry mechanism similar to Discovery feature,
see Open_table_context).
The name for newly added partitions are generated like default partition names
with extension of MDEV-22155 (which avoids name clashes by extending assignment
counter to next free-enough gap).
These DML commands can trigger auto-creation:
DELETE (including multitable DELETE, excluding DELETE HISTORY)
UPDATE (including multitable UPDATE)
REPLACE (including REPLACE .. SELECT)
INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE (including INSERT .. SELECT .. ODKU)
LOAD DATA .. REPLACE
:: Bug fixes ::
MDEV-23642 Locking timeout caused by auto-creation affects original DML
The reasons for this are:
- Do not disrupt main business process (the history is auxiliary service);
- Consequences are non-fatal (history is not lost, but comes into wrong
partition; fixed by partitioning rebuild);
- There is more freedom for application to fail in this case or not: it may
read warning info and find corresponding error number.
- While non-failing command is easy to handle by an application and fail it,
the opposite is hard to handle: there is no automatic actions to fix
failed command and retry, DBA intervention is required and until then
application is non-functioning.
MDEV-23639 Auto-create does not work under LOCK TABLES or inside triggers
Don't do tdc_remove_table() for OT_ADD_HISTORY_PARTITION because it is
not possible in locked tables mode.
LTM_LOCK_TABLES mode (and LTM_PRELOCKED_UNDER_LOCK_TABLES) works out
of the box as fast_alter_partition_table() can reopen tables via
locked_tables_list.
In LTM_PRELOCKED we reopen and relock table manually.
:: More fixes ::
* some_table_marked_for_reopen flag fix
some_table_marked_for_reopen affets only reopen of
m_locked_tables. I.e. Locked_tables_list::reopen_tables() reopens only
tables from m_locked_tables.
* Unused can_recover_from_failed_open() condition
Is recover_from_failed_open() can be really used after
open_and_process_routine()?

trans_rollback_to_savepoint(): Only release metadata locks (MDL)
if the storage engines agree, after the changes were already rolled back.
Ever since commit 3792693f31
and mysql/mysql-server@55ceedbc3f
we used to cheat here and always release MDL if the binlog is disabled.
MDL are supposed to prevent race conditions between DML and DDL also
when no replication is in use. MDL are supposed to be a superset of
InnoDB table locks: InnoDB table lock may only exist if the thread
also holds MDL on the table name.
In the included test case, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT would wrongly release
the MDL on both tables and let ALTER TABLE proceed, even though the DML
transaction is actually holding locks on the table.
Until commit 1bd681c8b3 (MDEV-25506)
InnoDB worked around the locking violation in a blatantly non-ACID way:
If locks exist on a table that is being dropped (in this case, actually
a partition of a table that is being rebuilt by ALTER TABLE), InnoDB
would move the table (or partition) into a queue, to be dropped after
the locks and references had been released.
The scenario of commit 3792693f31
is unaffected by this fix, because mariadb-dump (a.k.a. mysqldump)
would use non-locking reads, and the transaction would not be holding
any InnoDB locks during the execution of ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT.
MVCC reads inside InnoDB are only covered by MDL and page latches,
not by any table or record locks.
FIXME: It would be nice if storage engines were specifically asked
which MDL can be released, instead of only offering a choice
between all or nothing. InnoDB should be able to release any
locks for tables that are no longer in trx_t::mod_tables, except
if another transaction had converted some implicit record locks
to explicit ones, before the ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT had been completed.

The reason for the failure is that
thd->mdl_context.release_transactional_locks()
was called after commit & rollback even in cases where the current
transaction is still active.
For 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 the fix is simple:
- Replace all calls to thd->mdl_context.release_transactional_locks() with
thd->release_transactional_locks(). The thd function will only call
the mdl_context function if there are no active transactional locks.
In 10.6 we will better fix where we will change the return value for
some trans_xxx() functions to indicate if transaction did close the
transaction or not. This will avoid the need of the indirect call.
Other things:
- trans_xa_commit() and trans_xa_rollback() will automatically
call release_transactional_locks() if the transaction is closed.
- We can't do that for the other functions as the caller of many of these
are doing additional work (like close_thread_tables) before calling
release_transactional_locks().
- Added missing abort_result_set() and missing DBUG_RETURN in
select_create::send_eof()
- Fixed wrong indentation in injector::transaction::commit()
MDEV-22531 Remove maria::implicit_commit()
MDEV-22607 Assertion `ha_info->ht() != binlog_hton' failed in
MYSQL_BIN_LOG::unlog_xa_prepare
From the handler point of view, Aria now looks like a transactional
engine. One effect of this is that we don't need to call
maria::implicit_commit() anymore.
This change also forces the server to call trans_commit_stmt() after doing
any read or writes to system tables. This work will also make it easier
to later allow users to have system tables in other engines than Aria.
To handle the case that Aria doesn't support rollback, a new
handlerton flag, HTON_NO_ROLLBACK, was added to engines that has
transactions without rollback (for the moment only binlog and Aria).
Other things
- Moved freeing of MARIA_SHARE to a separate function as the MARIA_SHARE
can be still part of a transaction even if the table has closed.
- Changed Aria checkpoint to use the new MARIA_SHARE free function. This
fixes a possible memory leak when using S3 tables
- Changed testing of binlog_hton to instead test for HTON_NO_ROLLBACK
- Removed checking of has_transaction_manager() in handler.cc as we can
assume that as the transaction was started by the engine, it does
support transactions.
- Added new class 'start_new_trans' that can be used to start indepdendent
sub transactions, for example while reading mysql.proc, using help or
status tables etc.
- open_system_tables...() and open_proc_table_for_Read() doesn't anymore
take a Open_tables_backup list. This is now handled by 'start_new_trans'.
- Split thd::has_transactions() to thd::has_transactions() and
thd::has_transactions_and_rollback()
- Added handlerton code to free cached transactions objects.
Needed by InnoDB.

All changes (except one) is of type
thd->transaction. -> thd->transaction->
thd->transaction points by default to 'thd->default_transaction'
This allows us to 'easily' have multiple active transactions for a
THD object, like when reading data from the mysql.proc table
When binlog is disabled, WSREP will not behave correctly when
SAVEPOINT ROLLBACK is executed since we don't register handlers for such case.
Fixed by registering WSREP handlerton for SAVEPOINT related commands.
MDEV-21605 Clean up and speed up interfaces for binary row logging
MDEV-21617 Bug fix for previous version of this code
The intention is to have as few 'if' as possible in ha_write() and
related functions. This is done by pre-calculating once per statement the
row_logging state for all tables.
Benefits are simpler and faster code both when binary logging is disabled
and when it's enabled.
Changes:
- Added handler->row_logging to make it easy to check it table should be
row logged. This also made it easier to disabling row logging for system,
internal and temporary tables.
- The tables row_logging capabilities are checked once per "statements
that updates tables" in THD::binlog_prepare_for_row_logging() which
is called when needed from THD::decide_logging_format().
- Removed most usage of tmp_disable_binlog(), reenable_binlog() and
temporary saving and setting of thd->variables.option_bits.
- Moved checks that can't change during a statement from
check_table_binlog_row_based() to check_table_binlog_row_based_internal()
- Removed flag row_already_logged (used by sequence engine)
- Moved binlog_log_row() to a handler::
- Moved write_locked_table_maps() to THD::binlog_write_table_maps() as
most other related binlog functions are in THD.
- Removed binlog_write_table_map() and binlog_log_row_internal() as
they are now obsolete as 'has_transactions()' is pre-calculated in
prepare_for_row_logging().
- Remove 'is_transactional' argument from binlog_write_table_map() as this
can now be read from handler.
- Changed order of 'if's in handler::external_lock() and wsrep_mysqld.h
to first evaluate fast and likely cases before more complex ones.
- Added error checking in ha_write_row() and related functions if
binlog_log_row() failed.
- Don't clear check_table_binlog_row_based_result in
clear_cached_table_binlog_row_based_flag() as it's not needed.
- THD::clear_binlog_table_maps() has been replaced with
THD::reset_binlog_for_next_statement()
- Added 'MYSQL_OPEN_IGNORE_LOGGING_FORMAT' flag to open_and_lock_tables()
to avoid calculating of binary log format for internal opens. This flag
is also used to avoid reading statistics tables for internal tables.
- Added OPTION_BINLOG_LOG_OFF as a simple way to turn of binlog temporary
for create (instead of using THD::sql_log_bin_off.
- Removed flag THD::sql_log_bin_off (not needed anymore)
- Speed up THD::decide_logging_format() by remembering if blackhole engine
is used and avoid a loop over all tables if it's not used
(the common case).
- THD::decide_logging_format() is not called anymore if no tables are used
for the statement. This will speed up pure stored procedure code with
about 5%+ according to some simple tests.
- We now get annotated events on slave if a CREATE ... SELECT statement
is transformed on the slave from statement to row logging.
- In the original code, the master could come into a state where row
logging is enforced for all future events if statement could be used.
This is now partly fixed.
Other changes:
- Ensure that all tables used by a statement has query_id set.
- Had to restore the row_logging flag for not used tables in
THD::binlog_write_table_maps (not normal scenario)
- Removed injector::transaction::use_table(server_id_type sid, table tbl)
as it's not used.
- Cleaned up set_slave_thread_options()
- Some more DBUG_ENTER/DBUG_RETURN, code comments and minor indentation
changes.
- Ensure we only call THD::decide_logging_format_low() once in
mysql_insert() (inefficiency).
- Don't annotate INSERT DELAYED
- Removed zeroing pos_in_table_list in THD::open_temporary_table() as it's
already 0
Let xid_cache_insert()/xid_cache_delete() handle xa_state.
Let session tracker use is_explicit_XA() rather than xa_state != XA_NOTR.
Fixed open_tables() to refuse data access in XA_ROLLBACK_ONLY state.
Removed dead code from THD::cleanup(). It was supposed to be a reminder,
but it got messed up over time.
spider_internal_start_trx() is called either with XA_NOTR or XA_ACTIVE,
which is guarded by server callers. Thus is_explicit_XA() is acceptable
replacement for XA_ACTIVE check (which was likely wrong anyway).
Setting xa_state to XA_PREPARED in spider_internal_xa_prepare() isn't
meaningful, as this value is never accessed later. It can't be accessed
by current thread and it can't be recovered either. It can only be
accessed by spider internally, which never happens.
Make spider_xa_lock()/spider_xa_unlock() static.
Part of MDEV-7974 - backport fix for mysql bug#12161 (XA and binlog)
Store transaction start time in thd->transaction.start_time.
THD::transaction_time() wraps over transaction.start_time taking into
account current status of BEGIN.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
The function trans_rollback_to_savepoint(), unlike trans_savepoint(),
did not allow xa_state=XA_ACTIVE, so an attempt to do ROLLBCK TO SAVEPOINT
inside an XA transaction incorrectly returned an error
"...command cannot be executed ... in the ACTIVE state...".

CREATE/DROP TEMPORARY TABLE are not safe to optimistically replicate in
parallel with other transactions, so they need to be marked as "ddl" in the
binlog.
This was already done for stand-alone CREATE/DROP TEMPORARY. But temporary
tables can also be created and dropped inside a BEGIN...END transaction, and
such transactions were not marked as ddl. Nor was the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
statement emitted implicitly when a client connection is closed.
So this patch adds such ddl mark for the missing cases.
The difference to Kristian's original patch is mainly a fix in
mysql_trans_commit_alter_copy_data() to remember the unsafe_rollback_flags
over the temporary commit.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
