One should instead use Item::fixed() and Item::with_subquery()
Removed Item::is_fixed() and has_subquery() and did the following replace:
replace is_fixed() fixed() -- *.*
replace 'has_subquery()' 'with_subquery()' -- *.*
The reason for the change is that neither clang or gcc can do efficient
code when several bit fields are change at the same time or when copying
one or more bits between identical bit fields.
Updated bits explicitely with & and | is MUCH more efficient than what
current compilers can do.
aspects of decimals and integers
For fields and Item's uint8 should be good enough. After
discussions with Alexander Barkov we choose uint16 (for now)
as some format functions may accept +256 digits.
The reason for this patch was to make the usage and storage of decimal
digits simlar. Before this patch decimals was stored/used as uint8,
int and uint. The lengths for numbers where also using a lot of
different types.
Changed most decimal variables and functions to use the new typedef.

Use decimal_digits_t for all aspects of digits (total, precision
and scale), both for decimals and integers.
TODO:
- Make get_thd_memroot() inline
- To do this, we need to reduce dependence of include files, especially
so that sql_class.h is not depending in item.h
The bug happens because of a combination of unfortunate circumstances:
1. Arguments args[0] and args[2] of Item_func_concat point recursively
(through Item_direct_view_ref's) to the same Item_func_conv_charset.
Both args[0]->args[0]->ref[0] and args[2]->args[0]->ref[0] refer to
this Item_func_conv_charset.
2. When Item_func_concat::args[0]->val_str() is called,
Item_func_conv_charset::val_str() writes its result to
Item_func_conc_charset::tmp_value.
3. Then, for optimization purposes (to avoid copying),
Item_func_substr::val_str() initializes Item_func_substr::tmp_value
to point to the buffer fragment owned by Item_func_conv_charset::tmp_value
Item_func_substr::tmp_value is returned as a result of
Item_func_concat::args[0]->val_str().
4. Due to optimization to avoid memory reallocs,
Item_func_concat::val_str() remembers the result of args[0]->val_str()
in "res" and further uses "res" to collect the return value.
5. When Item_func_concat::args[2]->val_str() is called,
Item_func_conv_charset::tmp_value gets overwritten (see #1),
which effectively overwrites args[0]'s Item_func_substr::tmp_value (see #3),
which effectively overwrites "res" (see #4).
This patch does the following:
a. Changes Item_func_conv_charset::val_str(String *str) to use
tmp_value and str the other way around. After this change tmp_value
is used to store a temporary result, while str is used to return the value.
The fixes the second problem (without SUBSTR):
SELECT CONCAT(t2,'-',t2) c2
FROM (SELECT CONVERT(t USING latin1) t2 FROM t1) sub;
As Item_func_concat::val_str() supplies two different buffers when calling
args[0]->val_str() and args[2]->val_str(), in the new reduction the result
created during args[0]->val_str() does not get overwritten by
args[2]->val_str().
b. Fixing the same problem in val_str() for similar classes
Item_func_to_base64
Item_func_from_base64
Item_func_weight_string
Item_func_hex
Item_func_unhex
Item_func_quote
Item_func_compress
Item_func_uncompress
Item_func_des_encrypt
Item_func_des_decrypt
Item_func_conv_charset
Item_func_reverse
Item_func_soundex
Item_func_aes_encrypt
Item_func_aes_decrypt
Item_func_buffer
c. Fixing Item_func::val_str_from_val_str_ascii() the same way.
Now Item_str_ascii_func::ascii_buff is used for temporary value,
while the parameter passed to val_str() is used to return the result.
This fixes the same problem when conversion (from ASCII to e.g. UCS2)
takes place. See the ctype_ucs.test for example queries that returned
wrong results before the fix.
d. Some Item_func descendand classes had temporary String buffers
(tmp_value and tmp_str), but did not really use them.
Removing these temporary buffers from:
Item_func_decode_histogram
Item_func_format
Item_func_binlog_gtid_pos
Item_func_spatial_collection:
e. Removing Item_func_buffer::tmp_value, because it's not used any more.
f. Renaming Item_func_[un]compress::buffer to "tmp_value",
for consistency with other classes.
Note, this patch does not fix the following classes
(although they have a similar problem):
Item_str_conv
Item_func_make_set
Item_char_typecast
They have a complex implementations and simple swapping between "tmp_value"
and "str" won't work. These classes will be fixed separately.
- Adding Type_handler::make_table_field() and moving pieces of the code
from Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() to virtual implementations
for various type handlers.
- Adding a new Type_all_attributes, to access to Item's extended
attributes, such as decimal_precision() and geometry_type().
- Adding a new class Record_addr, to pass record related information
to Type_handler methods (ptr, null_ptr and null_bit) as a single structure.
Note, later it will possibly be extended for BIT-alike field purposes,
by adding new members (bit_ptr_arg, bit_ofs_arg).
- Moving the code from Field_new_decimal::create_from_item()
to Type_handler_newdecimal::make_table_field().
- Removing Field_new_decimal() and Field_geom() helper constructor
variants that were used for temporary field creation.
- Adding Item_field::type_handler(), Field::type_handler() and
Field_blob::type_handler() to return correct type handlers for
blob variants, according to Field_blob::packlength.
- Adding Type_handler_blob_common, as a common parent for
Type_handler_tiny_blob, Type_handler_blob, Type_handler_medium_blob
and Type_handler_long_blob.
- Implementing Type_handler_blob_common::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes().
It's needed for cases when TEXT variants of different character sets are mixed
in LEAST, GREATEST, CASE and its abreviations (IF, IFNULL, COALESCE), e.g.:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
a TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET latin1,
b TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8
);
CREATE TABLE t2 AS SELECT COALESCE(a,b) FROM t1;
Type handler aggregation returns TINYTEXT as a common data type
for the two columns. But as conversion from latin1 to utf8
happens for "a", the maximum possible length of "a" grows from 255 to 255*3.
Type_handler_blob_common::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() makes sure
to update the blob type handler according to max_length.
- Adding Type_handler::blob_type_handler(uint max_octet_length).
- Adding a few m_type_aggregator_for_result.add() pairs, because
now Item_xxx::type_handler() can return pointers to type_handler_tiny_blob,
type_handler_blob, type_handler_medium_blob, type_handler_long_blob.
Before the patch only type_handler_blob was possible result of type_handler().
- Making type_handler_tiny_blob, type_handler_blob, type_handler_medium_blob,
type_handler_long_blob public.
- Removing the condition in Item_sum_avg::create_tmp_field()
checking Item_sum_avg::result_type() against DECIMAL_RESULT.
Now both REAL_RESULT and DECIMAL_RESULT are symmetrically handled
by tmp_table_field_from_field_type().
- Removing Item_geometry_func::create_field_for_create_select(),
as the inherited version perfectly works.
- Fixing Item_func_as_wkb::field_type() to return MYSQL_TYPE_LONG_BLOB
rather than MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB. It's needed to make sure that
tmp_table_field_from_field_type() creates a LONGBLOB field for AsWKB().
- Fixing Item_func_as_wkt::fix_length_and_dec() to set max_length to
UINT32_MAX rather than MAX_BLOB_WIDTH, to make sure that
tmp_table_field_from_field_type() creates a LONGTEXT field for AsWKT().
- Removing Item_func_set_user_var::create_field_for_create_select(),
as the inherited version works fine.
- Adding Item_func_get_user_var::create_field_for_create_select() to
make sure that "CREATE TABLE t1 AS SELECT @string_user variable"
always creates a field of LONGTEXT/LONGBLOB type.
- Item_func_ifnull::create_field_for_create_select()
behavior has changed. Before the patch it passed set_blob_packflag=false,
which meant to create LONGBLOB for all blob variants.
Now it takes into account max_length, which gives better column
data types for:
CREATE TABLE t2 AS SELECT IFNULL(blob_column1, blob_column2) FROM t1;
- Fixing Item_func_nullif::fix_length_and_dec() to use
set_handler(args[2]->type_handler()) instead of
set_handler_by_field_type(args[2]->field_type()).
This is needed to distinguish between BLOB variants.
- Implementing Item_blob::type_handler(), to make sure to create
proper BLOB field variant, according to max_length, for queries like:
CREATE TABLE t1 AS
SELECT some_blob_field FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SOME_TABLE;
- Fixing Item_field::real_type_handler() to make sure that
the code aggregating fields for UNION gets a proper BLOB
variant type handler from fields.
- Adding a special code into Item_type_holder::make_field_by_type(),
to make sure that after aggregating field types it also properly
takes into account max_length when mixing TEXT variants of different
character sets and chooses a proper TEXT variant:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
a TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET latin1,
b TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8
);
CREATE TABLE t2 AS SELECT a FROM t1 UNION SELECT b FROM t1;
- Adding tests, for better coverage of IFNULL, NULLIF, UNION.
- The fact that tmp_table_field_from_field_type() now takes
into account BLOB variants (instead of always creating LONGBLOB),
tests results for WEIGHT_STRING() and NULLIF() and UNION
have become more precise.
- Adding SHOW CREATE TABLE into all DEFAULT tests,
to cover need_parentheses_in_default() for all items
- Fixing a few items not to print parentheses in DEFAULT:
spatial function-alike predicates, IS_IPV4 and IS_IPV6 functions,
COLUMN_CHECK() and COLUMN_EXISTS().
GENERATED BY THE EXP() FUNCTION
When generating the error message for numeric overflow, pass a flag to
Item::print() that prevents it from expanding constant expressions and
parameters to the values they evaluate to.
For consistency, also pass the flag to Item::print() when
Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec() generates an error
message. It doesn't make any difference at the moment, since constant
expressions haven't been evaluated yet when this function is called.
MDEV-9408 CREATE TABLE SELECT MAX(int_column) creates different columns for table vs view
There were three almost identical pieces of the code:
- Field *Item_func::tmp_table_field();
- Field *Item_sum::create_tmp_field();
- Field *create_tmp_field_from_item();
with a difference in very small details (hence the bugs):
Only Item_func::tmp_table_field() was correct, the other two were not.
Removing the two incorrect pieces of the redundant code.
Joining these three functions/methods into a single virtual method
Item::create_tmp_field().
Additionally, moving Item::make_string_field() and
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() from the public into the
protected section of the class declaration, as they are now not
needed outside of Item.
- Turning get_mm_tree_for_const() from a static function into
a protected method in Item.
- Adding a new class Item_bool_func2_with_rev, for the functions and operators
that have a reverse function and can use the range optimizer for
to optimize "value OP field" as "field REV_OP value". Deriving
Item_bool_rowready_func2 and Item_funt_spatial_rel from the new class.
- Removing Item_bool_func2::have_rev_func().
