it used current_thd->alloc() and allocated on the thd's execution arena,
not on table->expr_arena.
Remove THD::arena_for_cached_items that is temporarily set in
update_virtual_fields(), and replaces THD arena in get_datetime_value().
Instead set THD arena to table->expr_arena for the whole duration
of update_virtual_fields()
Item_func_le included Arg_comparator. Arg_comparator remembered
the current_thd during fix_fields and used that value during
execution to allocate Item_cache in get_datetime_value().
But for vcols fix_fields and val_int can happen in different threads.
Same bug for Item_func_in using in_datetime or cmp_item_datetime,
both also remembered current_thd at fix_fields() to use it later
for get_datetime_value().
As a fix, these objects no longer remember the current_thd,
and get_datetime_value() uses current_thd at run time. This
should not increase the number of current_thd calls much, as
Item_cache is created only once anyway.
This patch fixes a number of data type aggregation problems in IN and CASE:
- MDEV-11497 Wrong result for (int_expr IN (mixture of signed and unsigned expressions))
- MDEV-11514 IN with a mixture of TIME and DATETIME returns a wrong result
- MDEV-11554 Wrong result for CASE on a mixture of signed and unsigned expressions
- MDEV-11555 CASE with a mixture of TIME and DATETIME returns a wrong result
1. The problem reported in MDEV-11514 and MDEV-11555 was in the wrong assumption
that items having the same cmp_type() can reuse the same cmp_item instance.
So Item_func_case and Item_func_in used a static array of cmp_item*,
one element per one XXX_RESULT.
TIME and DATETIME cannot reuse the same cmp_item, because arguments of
these types are compared very differently. TIME and DATETIME must have
different instances in the cmp_item array. Reusing the same cmp_item
for TIME and DATETIME leads to unexpected result and unexpected warnings.
Note, after adding more data types soon (e.g. INET6), the problem would
become more serious, as INET6 will most likely have STRING_RESULT, but
it won't be able to reuse the same cmp_item with VARCHAR/TEXT.
This patch introduces a new class Predicant_to_list_comparator,
which maintains an array of cmp_items, one element per distinct
Type_handler rather than one element per XXX_RESULT.
2. The problem reported in MDEV-11497 and MDEV-11554 happened because
Item_func_in and Item_func_case did not take into account the fact
that UNSIGNED and SIGNED values must be compared as DECIMAL rather than INT,
because they used item_cmp_type() to aggregate the arguments.
The relevant code now resides in Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value()
and uses Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_comparison(),
like Item_func_between does.
As agreed with Sanja, debug messages printed in
Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec() now have the "DBUG:" prefix,
to make the *.result files more readable.
Also changing level from WARN_LEVEL_WARN to WARN_LEVEL_NOTE.
This patch implements the task according to the description:
1. The old code from Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec() was decomposed
into smaller methods:
- all_items_are_consts()
- compatible_types_scalar_bisection_possible()
- compatible_types_row_bisection_possible()
- fix_in_vector()
- fix_for_scalar_comparison_using_bisection()
- fix_for_scalar_comparison_using_cmp_items()
- fix_for_row_comparison_using_bisection()
- fix_for_row_comparison_using_cmp_items()
The data type dependend pieces where moved as methods to Type_handler.
2. Splits in_datetime into separate:
- in_datetime, for DATETIME and DATE,
- in_time, for TIME
to make the code more symmetric across data types.
Additionally:
- Adds a test func_debug.test to see which calculation strategy
(bisect or no bisect) is chosen to handle IN with various arguments.
- Adds a new helper method (to avoid duplicate code):
cmp_item_rows::prepare_comparators()
- Changes the propotype for cmp_item_row::alloc_comparators(),
to avoid duplicate code, and to use less current_thd.
- Changes "friend" sections in cmp_item_row and in_row from
an exact Item_func_in method to the entire class Item_func_in,
as their internals are now needed in multiple Item_func_in methods.
- Added more comments (e.g. on bisection, on the problem reported in MDEV-11511)
- Removes "Item_result Item_func_opt_neg::m_compare_type" and introduces
"Type_handler_hybrid_field_type Item_func_opt_neg::m_comparator" instead.
- Removes Item_func_between::compare_as_dates, because
the new member m_comparator now contains the precise information
about the data type that is used for comparison, which is important
for TIME vs DATETIME.
- Adds a new method:
Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_comparison(const Type_handler*),
as a better replacement for item_cmp_type(), which additionally can handle
TIME vs DATE/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP correctly. Additionally, it correctly
handles TIMESTAMP which fixes the problem reported in MDEV-11482.
The old compare_as_dates/find_date_time_item() based code didn't handle
comparison between TIME and TIMESTAMP correctly and erroneously used TIME
comparison instead of DATETIME comparison.
- Adds a new method:
Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_comparison(Item **, uint nitems),
as a better replacement for agg_cmp_type(), which can handle TIME.
- Splits Item_func_between::val_int() into pieces val_int_cmp_xxx(),
one new method per XXX_RESULT.
- Adds a new virtual method Type_handler::Item_func_between_val_int()
whose implementations use Item_func_between::val_int_cmp_xxx().
- Makes type_handler_longlong and type_handler_newdecimal public,
as they are now needed in item_cmpfunc.cc.
Note:
This patch does not change Item_func_in to use the new aggregation methods,
so it still uses collect_cmp_type()/item_cmp_type() based aggregation.
Item_func_in will be changed in a separate patch and item_cmp_type() will be
removed.
This patch:
- Adds a new virtual method Type_handler::Item_get_cache
- Splits moves Item_cache::get_cache() into the new method, every
"case XXX_RESULT" to the corresponding Type_handler_xxx::Item_get_cache.
- Adds Item::get_cache as a convenience wrapper, to make the caller code
shorter.
- Changes the last argument of Arg_comparator::cache_converted_constant()
from Item_result to "const Type_handler *".
- Removes subselect_engine::cmp_type, subselect_engine::res_type,
subselect_engine::res_field_type and derives subselect_engine
from Type_handler_hybrid_field_type instead.
- Makes Type_handler_varchar public, as it's now needed as the
default data type handler for subselect_engine.
This patch:
- Introduces a new virtuial method Type_handler::set_comparator_func
and moves pieces of the code from the switch in
Arg_comparator::set_compare_func into the corresponding
Type_handler_xxx::set_comparator_func.
- Adds Type_handler::get_handler_by_cmp_type()
- Moves Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::get_handler_by_result_type() to
a static method Type_handler::get_handler_by_result_type(),
for symmetry with similar methods:
* Type_handler::get_handler_by_field_type()
* Type_handler::get_handler_by_real_type()
* Type_handler::get_handler_by_cmp_type()
- Introduces Type_handler_row, to unify the code for the scalar
data types and the ROW data type (currently for comparison purposes only).
- Adds public type_handler_row, as it's now needed in item_row.h
- Makes type_handler_null public, as it's now needed in item_cmpfunc.h
Note, other type_handler_xxx will become public as well later.
- Removes the global variable Arg_comparator::comparator_matrix,
as it's not needed any more.
10.1 introduced a problem:
Execution time for various recursive stages
(walk, update_used_table, and propagate_equal_fields)
in NULLIF is O(recursion_level^2), because complexity is
doubled on every recursion level when we copy args[0] to args[2].
This change fixes to avoid unnecessary recursion in:
- Item_func_nullif::walk
- Item_func_nullif::update_used_tables
- Item_func_nullif::propagate_equal_fields
when possible.
Integer comparison of INT expressions with different signess in BETWEEN
is not safe. Switching to DECIMAL comparison in case if INT arguments
have different signess.
This is a backport of the patch for MDEV-9653 (fixed earlier in 10.1.13).
The code in Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec() did not
calculate max_length and decimals properly.
In case of any numeric result (DECIMAL, REAL, INT) a generic method
Item_func_case::agg_num_lengths() was called, which could erroneously result
into a DECIMAL item with max_length==0 and decimals==0, so the constructor of
Field_new_decimals tried to create a field of DECIMAL(0,0) type,
which caused a crash.
Unlike Item_func_case, the code responsible for merging attributes in
Item_func_coalesce::fix_length_and_dec() works fine: it has specific execution
branches for all distinct numeric types and correctly creates a DECIMAL(1,0)
column instead of DECIMAL(0,0) for the same set of arguments.
The fix does the following:
- Moves the attribute merging code from Item_func_coalesce::fix_length_and_dec()
to a new method Item_func_hybrid_result_type::fix_attributes()
- Removes the wrong code from Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec()
and reuses fix_attributes() in both Item_func_coalesce::fix_length_and_dec()
and Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec()
- Fixes count_real_length() and count_decimal_length() to get an array
of Items as an argument, instead of using Item::args directly.
This is needed for Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec().
- Moves methods Item_func::count_xxx_length() from "public" to "protected".
- Removes Item_func_case::agg_num_length(), as it's not used any more.
- Additionally removes Item_func_case::agg_str_length(),
as it also was not used (dead code).
Item_func_ifnull::date_op() and Item_func_coalesce::date_op() could
erroneously return 0000-00-00 instead of NULL when get_date()
was called with the TIME_FUZZY_DATES flag, e.g. from LEAST().
- Removing the "diff_if_only_endspace_difference" argument from
MY_COLLATION_HANDLER::strnncollsp(), my_strnncollsp_simple(),
as well as in the function template MY_FUNCTION_NAME(strnncollsp)
in strcoll.ic
- Removing the "diff_if_only_space_different" from ha_compare_text(),
hp_rec_key_cmp().
- Adding a new function my_strnncollsp_padspace_bin() and reusing
it instead of duplicate code pieces in my_strnncollsp_8bit_bin(),
my_strnncollsp_latin1_de(), my_strnncollsp_tis620(),
my_strnncollsp_utf8_cs().
- Adding more tests for better coverage of the trailing space handling.
- Removing the unused definition of HA_END_SPACE_ARE_EQUAL
* only copy args[0] to args[2] after fix_fields (when all item
substitutions have already happened)
* change QT_ITEM_FUNC_NULLIF_TO_CASE (that allows to print NULLIF
as CASE) to QT_ITEM_ORIGINAL_FUNC_NULLIF (that prohibits it).
So that NULLIF-to-CASE is allowed by default and only disabled
explicitly for SHOW VIEW|FUNCTION|PROCEDURE and mysql_make_view.
By default it is allowed (in particular in error messages and
debug output, that can happen anytime before or after optimizer).
don't do special SUM_FUNC_ITEM treatment in NULLIF for views
(as before), but do it for derived tables (when
context_analysis_only == CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_DERIVED)
"Re-factor the code for post-join operations".
The patch mainly contains the code ported from mysql-5.6 and
created for two essential architectural changes:
1. WL#5558: Resolve ORDER BY execution method at the optimization stage
2. WL#6071: Inline tmp tables into the nested loops algorithm
The first task was implemented for mysql-5.6 by Ole John Aske.
It allows to make all decisions on ORDER BY operation at the optimization
stage.
The second task implemented for mysql-5.6 by Evgeny Potemkin adds JOIN_TAB
nodes for post-join operations that require temporary tables. It allows
to execute these operations within the nested loops algorithm that used to
be used before this task only for join queries. Besides these task moves
all planning on the execution of these operations from the execution phase
to the optimization phase.
Some other re-factoring changes of mysql-5.6 were pulled in, mainly because
it was easier to pull them in than roll them back. In particular all
changes concerning Ref_ptr_array were incorporated.
The port required some changes in the MariaDB code that concerned the
functionality of EXPLAIN and ANALYZE. This was done mainly by Sergey
Petrunia.
