We assume all around the code that null_value==true is in sync
with NULL value returned by val_str()/val_decimal().
Item_sum_sum::val_decimal() erroneously returned a non-NULL value together
with null_value set to true. Fixing to return NULL instead.
Decimals with float, double and decimal now works the following way:
- DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED is used when declaring DECIMALS without a firm number
of decimals. It's only used in asserts and my_decimal_int_part.
- FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS (31) is used to mark that a FLOAT or DOUBLE
was defined without decimals. This is regarded as a floating point value.
- Max decimals allowed for FLOAT and DOUBLE is FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS-1
- Clients assumes that float and double with decimals >= NOT_FIXED_DEC are
floating point values (no decimals)
- In the .frm decimals=FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS are used to define
floating point for float and double (31, like before)
To ensure compatibility with old clients we do:
- When storing float and double, we change NOT_FIXED_DEC to
FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS.
- When creating fields from .frm we change for float and double
FLOATING_POINT_DEC to NOT_FIXED_DEC
- When sending definition for a float/decimal field without decimals
to the client as part of a result set we convert NOT_FIXED_DEC to
FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS.
- variance() and std() has changed to limit the decimals to
FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS -1 to not get the double converted floating point.
(This was to preserve compatiblity)
- FLOAT and DOUBLE still have 30 as max number of decimals.
Bugs fixed:
variance() printed more decimals than we support for double values.
New behaviour:
- Strings now have 38 decimals instead of 30 when converted to decimal
- CREATE ... SELECT with a decimal with > 30 decimals will create a column
with a smaller range than before as we are trying to preserve the number of
decimals.
Other changes
- We are now using the obsolete bit FIELDFLAG_LEFT_FULLSCREEN to specify
decimals > 31
- NOT_FIXED_DEC is now declared in one place
- For clients, NOT_FIXED_DEC is always 31 (to ensure compatibility).
On the server NOT_FIXED_DEC is DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED (39)
- AUTO_SEC_PART_DIGITS is taken from DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED
- DOUBLE conversion functions are now using DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of
NOT_FIXED_DEC
filesort and init_read_record() for the same table.
This will simplify code for WINDOW FUNCTIONS (MDEV-6115)
- Filesort_info renamed to SORT_INFO and moved to filesort.h
- filesort now returns SORT_INFO
- init_read_record() now takes a SORT_INFO parameter.
- unique declaration is moved to uniques.h
- subselect caching of buffers is now more explicit than before
- filesort_buffer is now reusable even if rec_length has changed.
- filsort_free_buffers() and free_io_cache() calls are removed
- Remove one malloc() when using get_addon_fields()
Other things:
- Added --debug-assert-on-not-freed-memory option to make it easier to
debug some not-freed-memory issues.
It is based on the sum() function, thus much of the logic is shared.
Considering that there are 2 counters stored within the function, one
that handles the null value, while the other that handles the divisor
for the avg computation, it is possible to remove the counter from the
Item_sum_avg. I have not removed it in this patch as we may choose to
refactor the whole code into a separate class.
This remains to be dicussed.
The counter keeps track of the number of items added to the sum
function. It is increased when we add a value to the sum function and
decreased when it is removed.
- Item_sum_count::remove() should check if the argument's value is NULL.
- Window Function item must have its Item_window_func::split_sum_func
called,
- and it must call split_sum_func for aggregate's arguments (see the
comment near Item_window_func::split_sum_func for explanation why)
- Add temporary code: clone_read_record() clones READ_RECORD structure,
as long as it is used for reading filesort() result that fits into
memory.
- Add frame bounds for ROWS-type frames. ROWS n PRECEDING|FOLLOWING,
ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING|FOLLOWING, CURRENT ROW are supported.
- Add Item_sum_count::remove() which allows "streaming" computation
of COUNT() over a moving frame.
"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.
MDEV-9408 CREATE TABLE SELECT MAX(int_column) creates different columns for table vs view
There were three almost identical pieces of the code:
- Field *Item_func::tmp_table_field();
- Field *Item_sum::create_tmp_field();
- Field *create_tmp_field_from_item();
with a difference in very small details (hence the bugs):
Only Item_func::tmp_table_field() was correct, the other two were not.
Removing the two incorrect pieces of the redundant code.
Joining these three functions/methods into a single virtual method
Item::create_tmp_field().
Additionally, moving Item::make_string_field() and
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() from the public into the
protected section of the class declaration, as they are now not
needed outside of Item.
- Moving Item_xxx_field declarations after Item_sum_xxx declarations,
so Item_xxx_field constructors can be defined directly in item_sum.h
rather than item_sum.cc. This removes some duplicate code, e.g.
initialization of the following members at constructor time:
name, decimals, max_length, unsigned_flag, field, maybe_null.
- Adding Item_sum_field as a common parent for Item_avg_field and
Item_variance_field
- Deriving Item_sum_field directly from Item rather that Item_result_field,
as Item_sum_field descendants do not need anything from Item_result_field.
- Removing hybrid infrastructure from Item_avg_field,
adding Item_avg_field_decimal and Item_avg_field_double instead,
as desired result type is already known at constructor time
(not only at fix_fields time). This simplifies the code.
- Changing Item_avg_field_decimal::val_int() to call val_int_from_decimal()
instead of doing { return (longlong) rint(val_real()); }
This is the fix itself.
The problem was that GROUP BY code created Item_field objects
that referred to fields in the temp. tables used for GROUP BY.
Item_ref and set_items_ref_array() call caused pointers to temp.
table fields to occur in many places.
This patch introduces Item_temptable_field, which can handle
item->print() calls made after the underlying table is freed.
removing IMPOSSIBLE_RESULT from Item_result, as it's not
needed any more. The fact that an Item is not in a comparison
context is now always designated by IDENTITY_SUBST in Subst_constraint.
Previously IMPOSSIBLE_RESULT and IDENTITY_SUBST co-existed but
actually meant the same thing.
- Part 4: Removing calls to sql_alloc() and sql_calloc()
Other things:
- Added current_thd in some places to make it clear that it's called (easier to remove later)
- Move memory allocation from Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec() to Item_func_case::fix_fields()
- Added mem_root to some new calls
- Fixed some wrong UNINIT_VAR() calls
- Fixed a bug in generate_partition_syntax() in case of errors
- Added mem_root to argument to new thread_info
- Simplified my_parse_error() call in sql_yacc.yy
- Part 3: Adding mem_root to push_back() and push_front()
Other things:
- Added THD as an argument to some partition functions.
- Added memory overflow checking for XML tag's in read_xml()
- Added mem_root to all calls to new Item
- Added private method operator new(size_t size) to Item to ensure that
we always use a mem_root when creating an item.
This saves use once call to current_thd per Item creation
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
Correct fix for this bug.
The problem was that Item_func_group_concat() was calling
setup_order(), passing args as the second argument,
ref_pointer_array. While ref_pointer_array should have free
space at the end, as setup_order() can append elements to it.
In this particular case args[] elements were overwritten when
setup_order() was pushing new elements into ref_pointer_array.
execution of PS
GROUP_CONCAT() with ORDER BY column position may crash server on PS reexecution.
The problem was that arguments array of GROUP_CONCAT() was adjusted to point to
temporary elements (resolved ORDER BY fields) during first execution.
This patch expands rev. 08763096cb to restore original arguments array as well.
- Changed ER(ER_...) to ER_THD(thd, ER_...) when thd was known or if there was many calls to current_thd in the same function.
- Changed ER(ER_..) to ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT(current_thd, ER...) in some places where current_thd is not necessary defined.
- Removing calls to current_thd when we have access to thd
Part of this is optimization (not calling current_thd when not needed),
but part is bug fixing for error condition when current_thd is not defined
(For example on startup and end of mysqld)
Notable renames done as otherwise a lot of functions would have to be changed:
- In JOIN structure renamed:
examined_rows -> join_examined_rows
record_count -> join_record_count
- In Field, renamed new_field() to make_new_field()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ASSERT(thd == tmp_thd) in Item_singlerow_subselect() just to be safe.
- Removed old 'tab' prefix in JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data() and use members directly
- Added 'thd' as argument to a few functions to avoid calling current_thd.
