from Item_bool_func::get_mm_leaf() into Field_xxx::can_optimize_range().
This reduces the total amount of virtual calls. Also, it's a prerequisite
change for the pluggable data types.
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.
In original code, sometimes one got an automatic DEFAULT value in some cases, in other cases not.
For example:
create table t1 (a int primary key) - No default
create table t2 (a int, primary key(a)) - DEFAULT 0
create table t1 SELECT .... - Default for all fields, even if they where defined as NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE ... MODIFY could sometimes add an unexpected DEFAULT value.
The patch is quite big because we had some many test cases that used
CREATE ... SELECT or CREATE ... (...PRIMARY KEY(xxx)) which doesn't have an automatic DEFAULT anymore.
Other things:
- Removed warnings from InnoDB when waiting from semaphore (got this when testing things with --big)
INCORRECT RESULTS
Issue:
-----
Updating varchar and text fields in the same update
statement can produce incorrect results. When a varchar
field is assigned to the text field and the varchar field
is then set to a different value, the text field's result
contains the varchar field's new value.
SOLUTION:
---------
Currently the blob type does not allocate space for the
string to be stored. Instead it contains a pointer to the
varchar string. So when the varchar field is changed as
part of the update statement, the value contained in the
blob also changes.
The fix would be to actually store the value by allocating
space for the blob's string. We can avoid allocating this
space when the varchar field is not being written into.
- 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.
Fhe GEOMETRY field should be handled just as the BLOB field. So that was fiexed in field_conv.
One additional bug was found and fixed meanwhile - thet the geometry field subtypes
should also be merged for UNION command.
If the spatial key is used within an equality comparison, the comparison
does not produce relevant results generally as identical geometry can be
stored differently. Still, we want to support the operation. In order
to allow a hash join plan, we must define a key_length for Field_geom.
The GEOMETRY field metadata is stored in the FRM file.
SRID for a spatial column now can be stored, it was added to the CREATE TABLE syntax,
so the AddGeometryData() stored procedure is now possible. Script adding the required Add/DropGeometryColumn sp-s added.
length/dec/charset are still in LEX, because they're also used
for CAST and dynamic columns.
also
1. fix "MDEV-7041 COLLATION(CAST('a' AS CHAR BINARY)) returns a wrong result"
2. allow BINARY modifier in stored function RETURN clause
3. allow "COLLATION without CHARSET" in SP/SF (parameters, RETURN, DECLARE)
4. print correct variable name in error messages for stored routine parameters
