- post-...-post review fixes
- Added "integer range walking" that allows to do partition pruning for "a <=? t.field <=? b"
by finding used partitions for a, a+1, a+2, ..., b-1, b.
The previous variant where it was a specific ha_partition method
only worked for the partition handler. It was unfortunately called also
for the NDB handler and in this case it called a random method in the
NDB handler with random input.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
large table gives server crash": make sure that when a MyISAM temporary
table is created for a cursor, it's created in its memory root,
not the memory root of the current query.
new file
sql_table.cc, handler.h:
Fixed bug #14540.
Added error mnemonic code HA_ADMIN_NOT_BASE_TABLE
to report that an operation cannot be applied for views.
view.test, view.result:
Added a test case for bug #14540.
errmsg.txt:
Fixed bug #14540.
Added error ER_CHECK_NOT_BASE_TABLE.
Handlerton array is now created instead of using sys_table_types_st. All storage engines can now have inits and giant ifdef's are now gone for startup. No compeltely clean yet, handlertons will next be merged with sys_table_types. Federated and archive now have real cleanup if their inits fail.
"SELECT ... FOR UPDATE executed as consistent read inside LOCK TABLES"
Do not discard lock_type information as handler::start_stmt() may require knowledge.
(fixed by Antony)
The alias structure now is a bit more simple and just uses a pointer to replace with the currect name. The giant case statement should go away in the next patch.
