Changing the way how a the following conditions are evaluated:
WHERE timestamp_column=datetime_const_expr
(for all comparison operators: =, <=>, <, >, <=, >=, <> and for NULLIF)
Before the change it was always performed as DATETIME.
That was not efficient, as involved per-row TIMESTAMP->DATETIME conversion
for timestamp_column. For example, in case of the SYSTEM time zone
it involved a localtime_r() call, which is known to be slow.
After the change it's performed as TIMESTAMP in many cases.
This allows to avoid per-row conversion, as it works the other way around:
datetime_const_expr is converted to TIMESTAMP once before the execution stage.
Note, datetime_const_expr must be inside monotone continuous periods of
the current time zone, i.e. not near these anomalies:
- DST changes (spring forward, fall back)
- leap seconds
PARTITION clause in SELECT means query is non-versioned (see
WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE in vers_setup_conds()).
vers_setup_conds() expands such query to SYSTEM_TIME_ALL which is then
added to VIEW specification. When VIEW is queried both clauses
PARTITION and FOR SYSTEM_TIME ALL lead to ER_VERS_QUERY_IN_PARTITION
(same place WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE).
Fix removes FOR SYSTEM_TIME ALL from VIEW by accessing original
SYSTEM_TIME clause: the one specified in parser. As a side-effect
EXPLAIN SELECT displays SYSTEM_TIME specified in SELECT which is
user-friendly.
vers_setup_conds() used to AND all conditions on row_start/row_end
columns and store it either in the WHERE clause or in the ON
clause for some table. In some cases this caused ON clause
to have conditions for tables that aren't part of that ON's join.
Fixed to put a table's condition always in the ON clause of the
corresponding table.
Removed unnecessary ... `OR row_end IS NULL` clause, it's not needed
in the ON clause.
Simplified handling on PS and SP.
Many related changes.
Note that AS OF condition must always be pushed down to physical tables,
it cannot be applied to a derived or a view. Thus:
* no versioning for internal temporary tables, they can never store
historical data.
* remove special versioning code from mysql_derived_prepare and
remove ER_VERS_DERIVED_PROHIBITED - derived can have no historical
data and cannot be prohibited for system versioning related reasons.
* do not expand select list for derived/views with sys vers fields,
derived/views can never have historical data.
* remove special invisiblity rules for sys vers fields, they are no
longer needed after the previous change
* remove system_versioning_hide, it lost the meaning after the
previous change.
* remove ER_VERS_SYSTEM_TIME_CLASH, it's no "clash", the inner
AS OF clause always wins.
* non-versioned fields in a historical query
reword the warning text, downgrade to note, don't
replace values with NULLs
non-standard, redundant, potentially risky in the future,
hides bugs. See #383, #384, #385
Fixed a parser bug where
SELECT * FROM (t1 join t2) FOR SYSTEM_TIME ...
was not an error.
* again, as in 10.2, NOW is a keyword only if followed by parentheses
* use AS OF CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or AS OF NOW()
* AS OF CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and AS OF NOW() mean AS OF NOW(6),
not AS OF NOW(0), (same behavior as in a DEFAULT clause)
