The patch contains the following changes:
- Introduce auxilary functions to convenient work with character sets:
- resolve_charset();
- resolve_collation();
- get_default_db_collation();
- Introduce lex_string_set();
- Refactor Table_trigger_list::process_triggers() &
sp_head::execute_trigger() to be consistent with other code;
- Move reusable code from add_table_for_trigger() into
build_trn_path(), check_trn_exists() and load_table_name_for_trigger()
to be used in the following patch.
- Rename triggers_file_ext and trigname_file_ext into TRN_EXT and
TRG_EXT respectively.
1. Introduce parse_sql() as a high-level replacement for MYSQLparse().
parse_sql() is responsible to switch and restore "parser context"
(THD::m_lip for now).
2. Fix typo in sp.cc: THD::spcont should be reset *before* calling
the parser.
Bug 28127 (Some valid identifiers names are not parsed correctly)
Bug 26302 (MySQL server cuts off trailing "*/" from comments in SP/func)
This patch is the second part of a major cleanup, required to fix
Bug 25411 (trigger code truncated).
The root cause of the issue stems from the function skip_rear_comments,
which was a work around to remove "extra" "*/" characters from the query
text, when parsing a query and reusing the text fragments to represent a
view, trigger, function or stored procedure.
The reason for this work around is that "special comments",
like /*!50002 XXX */, were not parsed properly, so that a query like:
AAA /*!50002 BBB */ CCC
would be seen by the parser as "AAA BBB */ CCC" when the current version
is greater or equal to 5.0.2
The root cause of this stems from how special comments are parsed.
Special comments are really out-of-bound text that appear inside a query,
that affects how the parser behave.
In nature, /*!50002 XXX */ in MySQL is similar to the C concept
of preprocessing :
#if VERSION >= 50002
XXX
#endif
Depending on the current VERSION of the server, either the special comment
should be expanded or it should be ignored, but in all cases the "text" of
the query should be re-written to strip the "/*!50002" and "*/" markers,
which does not belong to the SQL language itself.
Prior to this fix, these markers would leak into :
- the storage format for VIEW,
- the storage format for FUNCTION,
- the storage format for FUNCTION parameters, in mysql.proc (param_list),
- the storage format for PROCEDURE,
- the storage format for PROCEDURE parameters, in mysql.proc (param_list),
- the storage format for TRIGGER,
- the binary log used for replication.
In all cases, not only this cause format corruption, but also provide a vector
for dormant security issues, by allowing to tunnel code that will be activated
after an upgrade.
The proper solution is to deal with special comments strictly during parsing,
when accepting a query from the outside world.
Once a query is parsed and an object is created with a persistant
representation, this object should not arbitrarily mutate after an upgrade.
In short, special comments are a useful but limited feature for MYSQLdump,
when used at an *interface* level to facilitate import/export,
but bloating the server *internal* storage format is *not* the proper way
to deal with configuration management of the user logic.
With this fix:
- the Lex_input_stream class now acts as a comment pre-processor,
and either expands or ignore special comments on the fly.
- MYSQLlex and sql_yacc.yy have been cleaned up to strictly use the
public interface of Lex_input_stream. In particular, how the input stream
accepts or rejects a character is private to Lex_input_stream, and the
internal buffer pointers of that class are strictly private, and should not
be tempered with during parsing.
This caused many changes mostly in sql_lex.cc.
During the code cleanup in case MY_LEX_NUMBER_IDENT,
Bug 28127 (Some valid identifiers names are not parsed correctly)
was found and fixed.
By parsing special comments properly, and removing the function
'skip_rear_comments' [sic],
Bug 26302 (MySQL server cuts off trailing "*/" from comments in SP/func)
has been fixed as well.
Coding style: classes start with a capital letter.
Rename some classes related to parsing:
create_field -> Create_field
foreign_key -> Foreign_key
key_part_spec -> Key_part_spec
The value of "low-priority-updates" option and the LOW PRIORITY
prefix was taken into account at parse time.
This caused triggers (among others) to ignore this flag (if
supplied for the DML statement).
Moved reading of the LOW_PRIORITY flag at run time.
Fixed an incosistency when handling
SET GLOBAL LOW_PRIORITY_UPDATES : now it is in effect for
delayed INSERTs.
Tested by checking the effect of LOW_PRIORITY flag via a
trigger.
This is an additional fix.
Item::val_xxx methods are supposed to use original data source and
Item::val_xxx_result methods to use the item's result field. But for the
Item_func_set_user_var class val_xxx_result methods were mapped to val_xxx
methods. This leads, in particular, to producing bad sort keys and thus
wrong order of the result set of queries with group by/order by clauses.
The set of val_xxx_result methods is added to the Item_func_set_user_var
class. It's the same as the val_xxx set of method but uses the result_field
to return a value.
using a derived table over a grouping subselect.
This crash happens only when materialization of the derived tables
requires creation of auxiliary temporary table, for example when
a grouping operation is carried out with usage of a temporary table.
The crash happened because EXPLAIN EXTENDED when printing the query
expression made an attempt to use the objects created in the mem_root
of the temporary table which has been already freed by the moment
when printing is called.
This bug appeared after the method Item_field::print() had been
introduced.
To avoid unnecessary work the mysql_alter_table function takes the
list of table fields and applies all changes to it (drops/moves/renames/etc).
Then this function compares the new list and the old one. If the changes
require only .frm to be modified then the actual data isn't copied. To detect
changes all columns attributes but names are compared. When a column has been
moved and has replaced another column with the same attributes except name
the mysql_alter_table function wrongly decides that two fields has been just
renamed. As a result the data from the moved column and from all columns
after it is not copied.
Now the mysql_alter_table function forces table data copying by setting
the need_copy_table flag when it finds a moved column. The flag is set at
the stage when the modified fields are created.
Problem: we may create a deadlock committing changes in the mysql_alter_table() when
LOCK_open is set. Moreover, "in some variants of the ALTER TABLE commit
happens earlier, outside of LOCK_open, in other later - inside. It's no good, a storage
engine code that is called in between could expect a consistency - either there is a
transaction or there is not".
Fix: move the commit to happen earlier and outside of the LOCK_open.
