Item_default_value did not override val_native(), so the inherited
Item_field::val_native() was called. As a result Item_default_value::calculate()
was not called and Item_field::val_native() was called on a Field
with a non-initialized ptr.
Implementing Item_default_value::val_native() properly.
1. Code simplification:
Item_default_value handled all these values:
a. DEFAULT(field)
b. DEFAULT
c. IGNORE
and had various conditions to distinguish (a) from (b) and from (c).
Introducing a new abstract class Item_contextually_typed_value_specification,
to handle (b) and (c), so the hierarchy now looks as follows:
Item
Item_result_field
Item_ident
Item_field
Item_default_value - DEFAULT(field)
Item_contextually_typed_value_specification
Item_default_specification - DEFAULT
Item_ignore_specification - IGNORE
2. Introducing a new virtual method is_evaluable_expression() to
determine if an Item is:
- a normal expression, so its val_xxx()/get_date() methods can be called
- or a just an expression substitute, whose value methods cannot be called.
3. Disallowing Items that are not evalualble expressions in table value
constructors.
Type_handler_xxx::Item_const_eq() can handle only non-NULL values.
The code in Item_basic_value::eq() did not take this into account.
Adding a test to detect three different combinations:
- Both values are NULLs, return true.
- Only one value is NULL, return false.
- Both values are not NULL, call Type_handler::Item_const_eq()
to check equality.
prepared statement
The method Item_func_in::build_clone() that builds a clone item for an
Item_func_in item first calls a generic method Item_func::build_item()
that builds the the clones for the arguments of the Item_func_in item
to be cloned, creates a copy of the Item_func_in object and attaches the
clones for the arguments to this copy. Then the method Item_func_in::build_clone()
makes the copy fully independent on the copied object in order to
guarantee a proper destruction of the clone. The fact is the copy of the
Item_func_in object is registered as any other item object and should be
destructed as any other item object.
If the method Item_func::build_item fails to build a clone of an argument
then it returns 0. In this case no copy of the Item_func_in object should
be created. Otherwise the finalizing actions for this copy would not be
performed and the copy would remain in a state that would prevent its
proper destruction.
The code of Item_func_in::build_clone() before this patch created the copy
of the Item_func_in object before cloning the argument items. If this
cloning failed the server crashed when trying to destruct the copy item.
The code of Item_row::build_clone() was changed similarly to the code of
Item_func::build_clone though this code could not cause any problems.
with condition_pushdown_from_having
This bug could manifest itself for queries with GROUP BY and HAVING clauses
when the HAVING clause was a conjunctive condition that depended
exclusively on grouping fields and at least one conjunct contained an
equality of the form fld=sq where fld is a grouping field and sq is a
constant subquery.
In this case the optimizer tries to perform a pushdown of the HAVING
condition into WHERE. To construct the pushable condition the optimizer
first transforms all multiple equalities in HAVING into simple equalities.
This has to be done for a proper processing of the pushed conditions
in WHERE. The multiple equalities at all AND/OR levels must be converted
to simple equalities because any multiple equality may refer to a multiple
equality at the upper level.
Before this patch the conversion was performed like this:
multiple_equality(x,f1,...,fn) => x=f1 and ... and x=fn.
When an equality item for x=fi was constructed both the items for x and fi
were cloned. If x happened to be a constant subquery that could not be
cloned the conversion failed. If the conversions of multiple equalities
previously performed had succeeded then the whole condition became in an
inconsistent state that could cause different failures.
The solution provided by the patch is:
1. to use a different conversion rule if x is a constant
multiple_equality(x,f1,...,fn) => f1=x and f2=f1 and ... and fn=f1
2. not to clone x if it's a constant.
Such conversions cannot fail and besides the result of the conversion
preserves the equivalence of f1,...,fn that can be used for other
optimizations.
This patch also made sure that expensive predicates are not pushed from
HAVING to WHERE.
Item_ref::val_(datetime|time)_packed() erroneously called
(*ref)->val_(datetime|time)_packed().
- Fixing to call (*ref)->val_(datetime|time)_packed_result().
- Backporting Item::val_(datetime|time)_packed_result() from 10.3.
- Fixing Item_field::get_date_result() to handle null_value in the same
way how Item_field::get_date() does.
The issue here is window function makes the passed string object
to point to an area in a temporary table's record buffer.
Then, the temporary table is freed, together with its record buffer.
Then, Item_cache_str attempts to read this value.
The fix is to call value_buff.copy(). This will make the value_buff to store
its string in a buffer that it owns, which will not disappear unexpectedly.
remove a special treatment of a bare DEFAULT keyword that made it
behave inconsistently and differently from DEFAULT(column).
Now all forms of the explicit assignment of a default column value
behave identically, and all count as an explicitly assigned value
(for the purpose of ON UPDATE NOW).
followup for c7c481f4d9
and WHERE filter afterwards
This patch complements the patch fixing the bug MDEV-6892. The latter
properly handled queries that used mergeable views returning constant
columns as inner tables of outer joins and whose where clause contained
predicates referring to these columns if the predicates of happened not
to be equality predicates. Otherwise the server still could return wrong
result sets for such queries. Besides the fix for MDEV-6892 prevented
some possible conversions of outer joins to inner joins for such queries.
This patch corrected the function check_simple_equality() to handle
properly conjunctive equalities of the where clause that refer to the
constant columns of mergeable views used as inner tables of an outer join.
The patch also changed the code of Item_direct_view_ref::not_null_tables().
This change allowed to take into account predicates containing references
to constant columns of mergeable views when converting outer joins into
inner joins.
