command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.
Refactoring code to add parameter to pack() and unpack() functions with
purpose of indicating if data should be packed in little-endian or
native order. Using new functions to always pack data for binary log
in little-endian order. The purpose of this refactoring is to allow
proper implementation of endian-agnostic pack() and unpack() functions.
Eliminating several versions of virtual pack() and unpack() functions
in favor for one single virtual function which is overridden in
subclasses.
Implementing pack() and unpack() functions for some field types that
packed data in native format regardless of the value of the
st_table_share::db_low_byte_first flag.
The field types that were packed in native format regardless are:
Field_real, Field_decimal, Field_tiny, Field_short, Field_medium,
Field_long, Field_longlong, and Field_blob.
Before the patch, row-based logging wrote the rows incorrectly on
big-endian machines where the storage engine defined its own
low_byte_first() to be FALSE on big-endian machines (the default
is TRUE), while little-endian machines wrote the fields in correct
order. The only known storage engine that does this is NDB. In effect,
this means that row-based replication from or to a big-endian
machine where the table was using NDB as storage engine failed if the
other engine was either non-NDB or on a little-endian machine.
With this patch, row-based logging is now always done in little-endian
order, while ORDER BY uses the native order if the storage engine
defines low_byte_first() to return FALSE for big-endian machines.
In addition, the max_data_length() function available in Field_blob
was generalized to the entire Field hierarchy to give the maximum
number of bytes that Field::pack() will write.
added get_field_default_value() function which obtains default value from the field
(used in store_create_info() & get_schema_column_record() functions)
Faster thr_alarm()
Added 'Opened_files' status variable to track calls to my_open()
Don't give warnings when running mysql_install_db
Added option --source-install to mysql_install_db
I had to do the following renames() as used polymorphism didn't work with Forte compiler on 64 bit systems
index_read() -> index_read_map()
index_read_idx() -> index_read_idx_map()
index_read_last() -> index_read_last_map()
1. added check to fill_schema_schemata() func.
if we have db lookup value we should check that db exists
2. added check to get_all_tables() func
if we have lookup db name or tables name values we shoud check that
these values are not empty strings
3. fixed typo
--long-query-time is now given in seconds with microseconds as decimals
--min_examined_row_limit added for slow query log
long_query_time user variable is now double with 6 decimals
Added functions to get time in microseconds
Added faster time() functions for system that has gethrtime() (Solaris)
We now do less time() calls.
Added field->in_read_set() and field->in_write_set() for easier field manipulation by handlers
set_var.cc and my_getopt() can now handle DOUBLE variables.
All time() calls changed to my_time()
my_time() now does retry's if time() call fails.
Added debug function for stopping in mysql_admin_table() when tables are locked
Some trivial function and struct variable renames to avoid merge errors.
Fixed compiler warnings
Initialization of some time variables on windows moved to my_init()
information schema table.
The get_schema_views_record() function fills records in the view table of
the informations schema with data about given views. Among other info
the is_updatable flag is set. But the check whether the view is updatable or
not wasn't covering all cases thus sometimes providing wrong info.
This might led to a user confusion.
Now the get_schema_views_record function additionally calls to the
view->can_be_merge() function to find out whether the view can be updated or
not.
Bug#25422 (Hang with log tables)
Bug 17876 (Truncating mysql.slow_log in a SP after using cursor locks the
thread)
Bug 23044 (Warnings on flush of a log table)
Bug 29129 (Resetting general_log while the GLOBAL READ LOCK is set causes
a deadlock)
Prior to this fix, the server would hang when performing concurrent
ALTER TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE statements against the LOG TABLES,
which are mysql.general_log and mysql.slow_log.
The root cause traces to the following code:
in sql_base.cc, open_table()
if (table->in_use != thd)
{
/* wait_for_condition will unlock LOCK_open for us */
wait_for_condition(thd, &LOCK_open, &COND_refresh);
}
The problem with this code is that the current implementation of the
LOGGER creates 'fake' THD objects, like
- Log_to_csv_event_handler::general_log_thd
- Log_to_csv_event_handler::slow_log_thd
which are not associated to a real thread running in the server,
so that waiting for these non-existing threads to release table locks
cause the dead lock.
In general, the design of Log_to_csv_event_handler does not fit into the
general architecture of the server, so that the concept of general_log_thd
and slow_log_thd has to be abandoned:
- this implementation does not work with table locking
- it will not work with commands like SHOW PROCESSLIST
- having the log tables always opened does not integrate well with DDL
operations / FLUSH TABLES / SET GLOBAL READ_ONLY
With this patch, the fundamental design of the LOGGER has been changed to:
- always open and close a log table when writing a log
- remove totally the usage of fake THD objects
- clarify how locking of log tables is implemented in general.
See WL#3984 for details related to the new locking design.
Additional changes (misc bugs exposed and fixed):
1)
mysqldump which would ignore some tables in dump_all_tables_in_db(),
but forget to ignore the same in dump_all_views_in_db().
2)
mysqldump would also issue an empty "LOCK TABLE" command when all the tables
to lock are to be ignored (numrows == 0), instead of not issuing the query.
3)
Internal errors handlers could intercept errors but not warnings
(see sql_error.cc).
4)
Implementing a nested call to open tables, for the performance schema tables,
exposed an existing bug in remove_table_from_cache(), which would perform:
in_use->some_tables_deleted=1;
against another thread, without any consideration about thread locking.
This call inside remove_table_from_cache() was not required anyway,
since calling mysql_lock_abort() takes care of aborting -- cleanly -- threads
that might hold a lock on a table.
This line (in_use->some_tables_deleted=1) has been removed.
SHOW CREATE TABLE or SELECT FROM I_S.
This is the last patch for this bug, which depends on the big
CS patch and was pending.
The problem was that SHOW CREATE statements returned original
queries in the binary character set. That could cause the query
to be unreadable.
The fix is to use original character_set_client when sending
the original query to the client. In order to preserve the query
in mysqldump, 'binary' character set results should be set when
issuing SHOW CREATE statement. If either source or destination
character set is 'binary' , no conversion is performed.
The idea is that since the source character set is no longer
'binary', we fix the destination character set to still produce
valid dumps.
The need arose when working on Bug 26141, where it became
necessary to replace TABLE_LIST with its forward declaration in a few
headers, and this involved a lot of s/TABLE_LIST/st_table_list/.
Although other workarounds exist, this patch is in line
with our general strategy of moving away from typedef-ed names.
Sometime in future we might also rename TABLE_LIST to follow the
coding style, but this is a huge change.
Add more accessors to MySQL internals in mysql/plugin.h, for storage
engine plugins.
Add some accessors specific to the InnoDB storage engine, to allow
InnoDB to be compiled as a plugin (without MYSQL_SERVER). InnoDB
has additional requirements, due to its foreign key support, etc.
