- Old sequence code forced row based replication for any statements that
refered to a sequence table. What is new is that row based replication
is now sequence aware:
- NEXT VALUE is now generating a short row based event with only
next_value and round being replicated.
- Short row based events are now on the slave updated as trough
SET_VALUE(sequence_name)
- Full row based events are on the slave updated with a full insert,
which is practically same as ALTER SEQUENCE.
- INSERT on a SEQUENCE table does now a EXCLUSIVE LOCK to ensure that
it is logged in binary log before any following NEXT VALUE calls.
- Enable all sequence tests and fixed found bugs
- ALTER SEQUENCE doesn't anymore allow changes that makes the next_value
outside of allowed range
- SEQUENCE changes are done with TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE. Because of this
one can generate a statement for MyISAM with both
TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT and TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE. To fix a warning
I had to add an extra test in thr_lock.c for this.
- Removed UPDATE of SEQUENCE (no need to support this as we
have ALTER SEQUENCE, which takes the EXCLUSIVE lock properly.
- Removed DBUG_ASSERT() in MDL_context::upgrade_shared_lock. This was
removed upstream in MySQL 5.6 in 72f823de453.
- Simplified test in decided_logging_format() by using sql_command_flags()
- Fix that we log DROP SEQUENCE correctly.
- Fixed that Aria works with SEQUENCE
- SETVAL(sequence_name, next_value, is_used, round)
- ALTER SEQUENCE, including RESTART WITH
Other things:
- Added handler::extra() option HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_ALTER_TABLE to signal
ha_sequence() that it should allow write_row statments.
- ALTER ONLINE TABLE now works with SEQUENCE:s
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
This was done to make it clear that a update_row() should not change the
row.
This was not done for handler::write_row() as this function still needs
to update auto_increment values in the row. This should at some point
be moved to handler::ha_write_row() after which write_row can also have
const arguments.
Working features:
CREATE OR REPLACE [TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE [IF NOT EXISTS] name
[ INCREMENT [ BY | = ] increment ]
[ MINVALUE [=] minvalue | NO MINVALUE ]
[ MAXVALUE [=] maxvalue | NO MAXVALUE ]
[ START [ WITH | = ] start ] [ CACHE [=] cache ] [ [ NO ] CYCLE ]
ENGINE=xxx COMMENT=".."
SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name;
SELECT NEXTVAL(sequence_name);
SELECT PREVIOUS VALUE FOR sequence_name;
SELECT LASTVAL(sequence_name);
SHOW CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name;
SHOW CREATE TABLE sequence_name;
CREATE TABLE sequence-structure ... SEQUENCE=1
ALTER TABLE sequence RENAME TO sequence2;
RENAME TABLE sequence TO sequence2;
DROP [TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE [IF EXISTS] sequence_names
Missing features
- SETVAL(value,sequence_name), to be used with replication.
- Check replication, including checking that sequence tables are marked
not transactional.
- Check that a commit happens for NEXT VALUE that changes table data (may
already work)
- ALTER SEQUENCE. ANSI SQL version of setval.
- Share identical sequence entries to not add things twice to table list.
- testing insert/delete/update/truncate/load data
- Run and fix Alibaba sequence tests (part of mysql-test/suite/sql_sequence)
- Write documentation for NEXT VALUE / PREVIOUS_VALUE
- NEXTVAL in DEFAULT
- Ensure that NEXTVAL in DEFAULT uses database from base table
- Two NEXTVAL for same row should give same answer.
- Oracle syntax sequence_table.nextval, without any FOR or FROM.
- Sequence tables are treated as 'not read constant tables' by SELECT; Would
be better if we would have a separate list for sequence tables so that
select doesn't know about them, except if refereed to with FROM.
Other things done:
- Improved output for safemalloc backtrack
- frm_type_enum changed to Table_type
- Removed lex->is_view and replaced with lex->table_type. This allows
use to more easy check if item is view, sequence or table.
- Added table flag HA_CAN_TABLES_WITHOUT_ROLLBACK, needed for handlers
that want's to support sequences
- Added handler calls:
- engine_name(), to simplify getting engine name for partition and sequences
- update_first_row(), to be able to do efficient sequence implementations.
- Made binlog_log_row() global to be able to call it from ha_sequence.cc
- Added handler variable: row_already_logged, to be able to flag that the
changed row is already logging to replication log.
- Added CF_DB_CHANGE and CF_SCHEMA_CHANGE flags to simplify
deny_updates_if_read_only_option()
- Added sp_add_cfetch() to avoid new conflicts in sql_yacc.yy
- Moved code for add_table_options() out from sql_show.cc::show_create_table()
- Added String::append_longlong() and used it in sql_show.cc to simplify code.
- Added extra option to dd_frm_type() and ha_table_exists to indicate if
the table is a sequence. Needed by DROP SQUENCE to not drop a table.
