==== Description ====
Flashback can rollback the instances/databases/tables to an old snapshot.
It's implement on Server-Level by full image format binary logs (--binlog-row-image=FULL), so it supports all engines.
Currently, it’s a feature inside mysqlbinlog tool (with --flashback arguments).
Because the flashback binlog events will store in the memory, you should check if there is enough memory in your machine.
==== New Arguments to mysqlbinlog ====
--flashback (-B)
It will let mysqlbinlog to work on FLASHBACK mode.
==== New Arguments to mysqld ====
--flashback
Setup the server to use flashback. This enables binary log in row mode
and will enable extra logging for DDL's needed by flashback feature
==== Example ====
I have a table "t" in database "test", we can compare the output with "--flashback" and without.
#client/mysqlbinlog /data/mysqldata_10.0/binlog/mysql-bin.000001 -vv -d test -T t --start-datetime="2013-03-27 14:54:00" > /tmp/1.sql
#client/mysqlbinlog /data/mysqldata_10.0/binlog/mysql-bin.000001 -vv -d test -T t --start-datetime="2013-03-27 14:54:00" -B > /tmp/2.sql
Then, importing the output flashback file (/tmp/2.log), it can flashback your database/table to the special time (--start-datetime).
And if you know the exact postion, "--start-postion" is also works, mysqlbinlog will output the flashback logs that can flashback to "--start-postion" position.
==== Implement ====
1. As we know, if binlog_format is ROW (binlog-row-image=FULL in 10.1 and later), all columns value are store in the row event, so we can get the data before mis-operation.
2. Just do following things:
2.1 Change Event Type, INSERT->DELETE, DELETE->INSERT.
For example:
INSERT INTO t VALUES (...) ---> DELETE FROM t WHERE ...
DELETE FROM t ... ---> INSERT INTO t VALUES (...)
2.2 For Update_Event, swapping the SET part and WHERE part.
For example:
UPDATE t SET cols1 = vals1 WHERE cols2 = vals2
--->
UPDATE t SET cols2 = vals2 WHERE cols1 = vals1
2.3 For Multi-Rows Event, reverse the rows sequence, from the last row to the first row.
For example:
DELETE FROM t WHERE id=1; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=2; ...; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=n;
--->
DELETE FROM t WHERE id=n; ...; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=2; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=1;
2.4 Output those events from the last one to the first one which mis-operation happened.
For example:
- created binlog_encryption test suite and added it to the default list
- moved some tests from rpl, binlog and multisource suites to extra
so that they could be re-used in different suites
- made minor changes in include files
This patch adds DEFAULT as a possible dynamic SQL parameter, e.g.:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO t1 (column) VALUES(?)' USING DEFAULT;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE t1 SET column=?' USING DEFAULT;
and for similar PREPARE..EXECUTE queries.
This is done for symmetry with the STMT_INDICATOR_DEFAULT indicator in
the client-server PS protocol.
The changes include:
- Allowing DEFAULT as a possible option in execute USING clause (sql_yacc.yy)
- Adding "virtual bool Item::save_in_param(THD *thd, Item_param *param)",
because "normal" items (that have real values) and Item_default_value
have now different actions when assigning itself as an Item_param value.
- Fixing switch() statements in a few Item_param methods not to have "default",
because it was easy to forget to add a new "case" when adding a new XXX_VALUE
value into the enum Item_param::enum_item_param_state.
This is important, as we'll be adding new values soon, e.g. for MDEV-11359.
Removing "default" helped to find and report bugs MDEV-11361 and MDEV-11362,
because DECIMAL_VALUE is obviously not properly handled in some cases.
This is similar to MysQL Worklog 3253, but with
a different implementation. The disk format and
SQL syntax is identical with MySQL 5.7.
Fetures supported:
- "Any" ammount of any trigger
- Supports FOLLOWS and PRECEDES to be
able to put triggers in a certain execution order.
Implementation details:
- Class Trigger added to hold information about a trigger.
Before this trigger information was stored in a set of lists in
Table_triggers_list and in Table_triggers_list::bodies
- Each Trigger has a next field that poinst to the next Trigger with the
same action and time.
- When accessing a trigger, we now always access all linked triggers
- The list are now only used to load and save trigger files.
- MySQL trigger test case (trigger_wl3253) added and we execute these
identically.
- Even more gracefully handling of wrong trigger files than before. This
is useful if a trigger file uses functions or syntax not provided by
the server.
- Each trigger now has a "Created" field that shows when the trigger was
created, with 2 decimals.
Other comments:
- Many of the changes in test files was done because of the new "Created"
field in the trigger file. This shows up in SHOW ... TRIGGER and when
using information_schema.trigger.
- Don't check if all memory is released if on uses --gdb; This is needed
to be able to get a list from safemalloc of not freed memory while
debugging.
- Added option to trim_whitespace() to know how many prefix characters
was skipped.
- Changed a few ulonglong sql_mode to sql_mode_t, to find some wrong usage
of sql_mode.
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function
The combination of --remove_file and --write_file on .expect file creates
a race condition which can be hit by MTR which reads the file in a loop.
Instead, .expect file should be changed with --append_file.
It was fixed in 10.x, but in 5.5 the sporadic failure still affected buildbot.
Fixed 3 test files which use the problematic combination
INSERTS/UPDATES ON TEMPORARY TABLES
Bug#14294223: CHANGES NOT ALLOWED TO TEMPORARY TABLES ON
READ-ONLY SERVERS
Problem:
========
Running 5.5.14 in read only we can create temporary tables
but can not insert or update records in the table. When we
try we get Error 1290 : The MySQL server is running with the
--read-only option so it cannot execute this statement.
Analysis:
=========
This bug is very specific to binlog being enabled and
binlog-format being stmt/mixed. Standalone server without
binlog enabled or with row based binlog-mode works fine.
How standalone server and row based replication work:
=====================================================
Standalone server and row based replication mark the
transactions as read_write only when they are modifying
non temporary tables as part of their current transaction.
Because of this when code enters commit phase it checks
if a transaction is read_write or not. If the transaction
is read_write and global read only mode is enabled those
transaction will fail with 'server is read only mode'
error.
In the case of statement based mode at the time of writing
to binary log a binlog handler is created and it is always
marked as read_write. In case of temporary tables even
though the engine did not mark the transaction as read_write
but the new transaction that is started by binlog handler is
considered as read_write.
Hence in this case when code enters commit phase it finds
one handler which has a read_write transaction even when
we are modifying temporary table. This causes the server
to throw an error when global read-only mode is enabled.
Fix:
====
At the time of commit in "ha_commit_trans" if a read_write
transaction is found, we should check if this transaction is
coming from a handler other than binlog_handler. This will
ensure that there is a genuine read_write transaction being
sent by the engine apart from binlog_handler and only then
it should be blocked.
The cause of the issue is when DROP DATABASE takes
metadata lock and is in progress through it's
execution, a concurrently running CREATE FUNCTION checks
for the existence of database which it succeeds and then it
waits on the metadata lock. Once DROP DATABASE writes to
BINLOG and finally releases the metadata lock on schema
object, the CREATE FUNCTION waiting on metadata lock
gets in it's code path and succeeds and writes to binlog.
The main.merge test case was failing when tested using row based
binlog format.
While analyzing the issue it was found the following issues:
a) The server is calling binlog related code even when a statement will
not be binlogged;
b) The child table list was not present into table structure by the time
to generate the create table statement;
c) The tables in the child table list will not be opened yet when
generating table create info using row based replication;
d) CREATE TABLE LIKE TEMP_TABLE does not preserve original table storage
engine when using row based replication;
This patch addressed all above issues.
@ sql/sql_class.h
Added a function to determine if the binary log is disabled to
the current session. This is related with issue (a) above.
@ sql/sql_table.cc
Added code to skip binary logging related code if the statement
will not be binlogged. This is related with issue (a) above.
Added code to add the children to the query list of the table that
will have its CREATE TABLE generated. This is related with issue (b)
above.
Added code to force the storage engine to be generated into the
CREATE TABLE. This is related with issue (d) above.
@ storage/myisammrg/ha_myisammrg.cc
Added a test to skip a table getting info about a child table if the
child table is not opened. This is related to issue (c) above.
Creating a CONNECT object on client connect and pass this to the working thread which creates the THD.
Split LOCK_thread_count to different mutexes
Added LOCK_thread_start to syncronize threads
Moved most usage of LOCK_thread_count to dedicated functions
Use next_thread_id() instead of thread_id++
Other things:
- Thread id now starts from 1 instead of 2
- Added cast for thread_id as thread id is now of type my_thread_id
- Made THD->host const (To ensure it's not changed)
- Removed some DBUG_PRINT() about entering/exiting mutex as these was already logged by mutex code
- Fixed that aborted_connects and connection_errors_internal are counted in all cases
- Don't take locks for current_linfo when we set it (not needed as it was 0 before)
Not printing the value" with binlog-row-image=minimal"
Merged Rows_log_event::print_verbose_one_row() and log_event_print_value()
with MySQL 5.7
Added flush after writing of Table_map_log_event() to fix wrong order of
lines in output. This causes a lot of changes in some test results.
if we didn't write the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statement.
- Enable old code from one of my older changesets that didn't make into 10.0
- Fix test cased that failed as they expected DROP TEMPORARY TABLE in the log.
In original code, sometimes one got an automatic DEFAULT value in some cases, in other cases not.
For example:
create table t1 (a int primary key) - No default
create table t2 (a int, primary key(a)) - DEFAULT 0
create table t1 SELECT .... - Default for all fields, even if they where defined as NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE ... MODIFY could sometimes add an unexpected DEFAULT value.
The patch is quite big because we had some many test cases that used
CREATE ... SELECT or CREATE ... (...PRIMARY KEY(xxx)) which doesn't have an automatic DEFAULT anymore.
Other things:
- Removed warnings from InnoDB when waiting from semaphore (got this when testing things with --big)
