Feature Definition:-
This feature adds invisible column functionality to server.
There is 4 level of "invisibility":
1. Not invisible (NOT_INVISIBLE) — Normal columns created by the user
2. A little bit invisible (USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE) — columns that the
user has marked invisible. They aren't shown in SELECT * and they
don't require values in INSERT table VALUE (...). Otherwise
they behave as normal columns.
3. More invisible (SYSTEM_INVISIBLE) — Can be queried explicitly,
otherwise invisible from everything. Think ROWID sytem column.
Because they're invisible from ALTER TABLE and from CREATE TABLE
they cannot be created or dropped, they're created by the system.
User cant not create a column name which is same as of
SYSTEM_INVISIBLE.
4. Very invisible (COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE) — as above, but cannot be
queried either. They can only show up in EXPLAIN EXTENDED (might
be possible for a very invisible indexed virtual column) but
otherwise they don't exist for the user.If user creates a columns
which has same name as of COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE then
COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE column is renamed again. So it is completely
invisible from user.
Invisible Index(HA_INVISIBLE_KEY):-
Creation of invisible columns require a new type of index which
will be only visible to system. User cant see/alter/create/delete
this index. If user creates a index which is same name as of
invisible index then it will be renamed.
Syntax Details:-
Only USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE column can be created by user. This
can be created by adding INVISIBLE suffix after column definition.
Create table t1( a int invisible, b int);
Rules:-
There are some rules/restrictions related to use of invisible columns
1. All the columns in table cant be invisible.
Create table t1(a int invisible); \\error
Create table t1(a int invisible, b int invisble); \\error
2. If you want invisible column to be NOT NULL then you have to supply
Default value for the column.
Create table t1(a int, b int not null); \\error
3. If you create a view/create table with select * then this wont copy
invisible fields. So newly created view/table wont have any invisible
columns.
Create table t2 as select * from t1;//t2 wont have t1 invisible column
Create view v1 as select * from t1;//v1 wont have t1 invisible column
4. Invisibility wont be forwarded to next table in any case of create
table/view as select */(a,b,c) from table.
Create table t2 as select a,b,c from t1; // t2 will have t1 invisible
// column(b), but this wont be invisible in t2
Create view v1 as select a,b,c from t1; // v1 will have t1 invisible
// column(b), but this wont be invisible in v1
Implementation Details:-
Parsing:- INVISIBLE_SYM is added into vcol_attribute(so its like unique
suffix), It is also added into keyword_sp_not_data_type so that table
can have column with name invisible.
Implementation detail is given by each modified function/created function.
(Some function are left as they were self explanatory)
(m= Modified, n= Newly Created)
mysql_prepare_create_table(m):- Extra checks for invisible columns are
added. Also some DEBUG_EXECUTE_IF are also added for test cases.
mysql_prepare_alter_table(m):- Now this will drop all the
COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE column and HA_INVISIBLE_KEY index. Further
Modifications are made to stop drop/change/delete of SYSTEM_INVISIBLE
column.
build_frm_image(m):- Now this allows incorporating field_visibility
status into frm image. To remain compatible with old frms
field_visibility info will be only written when any of the field is
not NOT_INVISIBLE.
extra2_write_additional_field_properties(n):- This will write field
visibility info into buffer. We first write EXTRA2_FIELD_FLAGS into
buffer/frm , then each next char will have field_visibility for each
field.
init_from_binary_frm_image(m):- Now if we get EXTRA2_FIELD_FLAGS,
then we will read the next n(n= number of fields) chars and set the
field_visibility. We also increment
thd->status_var.feature_invisible_columns. One important thing to
note if we find out that key contains a field whose visibility is
> USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE then , we declare this key as invisible
key.
sql_show.cc is changed accordingly to make show table, show keys
correct.
mysql_insert(m):- If we get to know that we are doing insert in
this way insert into t1 values(1,1); without explicitly specifying
columns, then we check for if we have invisible fields if yes then
we reset the whole record, Why ? Because first we want hidden columns
to get default/null value. Second thing auto_increment has property
no default and no null which voilates invisible key rule 2, And
because of this it was giving error. Reseting table->record[0]
eliminates this issue. More info put breakpoint on handler::write_row
and see auto_increment value.
fill_record(m):- we continue loop if we find invisible column because
this is already reseted/will get its value if it is default.
Test cases:- Since we can not directly add > USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE
column then I have debug_dbug to create it in mysql_prepare_create_table.

Instead of updating global counter, calculate Threads_running on the fly.
All threads having command != COM_SLEEP are included.
Behaviour changes:
Previously SHOW STATUS and SHOW GLOBAL STATUS returned the same values
representing global status. Now SHOW STATUS always returns 1 indicating that
current session has 1 thread running.
Previously only threads that were executing dispatch_command() or running events
were accounted by Threads_running. Now it is rough equivalent of
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST WHERE state!='Sleep'
Part2: make MyRocks add its directory into @@ignore_db_dirs when starting.
This is necessary because apparently not everybody are using plugin's my.cnf
So load ha_rocksdb.{so,dll} manually and then hit MDEV-12451, MDEV-14461
etc.
LOCK_thd_data was used to protect both THD data and
ensure that the THD is not deleted while it was in use
This patch moves the THD delete protection to LOCK_thd_kill,
which already protects the THD for kill.
The benefits are:
- More well defined what LOCK_thd_data protects
- LOCK_thd_data usage is now much simpler and easier to verify
- Less chance of deadlocks in SHOW PROCESS LIST as there is less
chance of interactions between mutexes
- Remove not needed LOCK_thread_count from
thd_get_error_context_description()
- Fewer mutex taken for thd->awake()
Other things:
- Don't take mysys->var mutex in show processlist to check if thread
is kill marked
- thd->awake() now automatically takes the LOCK_thd_kill mutex
(Simplifies code)
- Apc uses LOCK_thd_kill instead of LOCK_thd_data
This will allow show processlist to continue, without blocking
all new connections, if some threads gets stuck while holding
LOCK_thd_data or mysys_var->mutex
Connections that has mutex 'stuck' are marked as 'Busy' in 'Command'
Todo:
Make F_BACKOFF to do 'pause' instead of just (1)
The background is that one user had a lot of views and using some complex
queries on information schema temporary memory of more than 2G was used.
- Added new element 'total_alloc' to MEM_ROOT for easier debugging.
- Added MAX_MEMORY_USED to information_schema.processlist.
- Added new status variable "Memory_used_initial" that shows how much MariaDB
uses at startup. This gives the base value for "Memory_used".
- Reuse memory continuously for information schema queries instead of
only freeing memory at query end.
Other things
- Removed some not needed set_notnull() calls for not null columns.
This is a 10.3 specific part of MDEV-13049.
It disables automatic sorting for
"SELECT .. FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.{SCHEMATA|TABLES}"
and adjusts the affected tests accordingly.
Fixing mysql_execute_command() and store_schema_proc() not to use
stored object type codes TYPE_ENUM_PROCEDURE and TYPE_ENUM_FUNCTION.
Using pointers to Sp_handler instead, to make the code symmetric across
existing (function,procedure) and future (e.g package) SP object types.
in buildbot
Removed plugin_array_version: it is being checked without mutex protection and
thus is prone to data race and race conditions. In effect plugins are not
protected from concurrent destruction.
Removed state_mask inversion: doesn't seem to make any sense.
When collecting local plugins list, only add plugins that match state_mask.
Use plugin ref counting to protect against concurrent plugin destruction.
Optimizations:
* avoid faster ext_table_discovery_simple() *only* when there are
engines with discover_table_names() method *and* they look at
file names. P_S implements discover_table_names(), but it's not
a reason to use slower extension_based_table_discovery().
* don't pre-sort table names if ORDER BY or GROUP BY was specified
* starting from 10.3 only sort table names for SHOW commands
Some innobase/xtrabackup changes around from 10.1 are null merged
, in partucular using os_set_file_size to extend tablespaces in server
or mariabackup.
They require non-trivial amount of additional work in 10.2, due to
innobase differences between 10.1 and 10.2
- Simplified use_trans_cache() to return at once if is_transactional is set
- Indentation and spelling errors fixed
- Don't call signal_update() if update_binlog_end_pos() is called as the
function already calls signal_update()
- Removed not used function wait_for_update_bin_log(), which would cause
errors if ever used.
- Simplified handler::clone() by always allocating 'ref' in ha_open(). To do
this I added an optional MEM_ROOT argument to ha_open() to be used when
allocating 'ref'
- Changed arguments to get_system_var() from LEX_CSTRING to LEX_CSTRING*
- Added THD as argument to create_select_for_variable(). Changed also char*
argument to LEX_CSTRING to avoid strlen() call.
- Change calls to append() to use LEX_CSTRING
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
Don't write to a temporary file, use String.
Remove strange one-liner "helpers", use String methods.
Don't use current_thd, don't allocate memory for 1-byte strings, etc.
The problems were in the code of sql_show.cc. There the tables
could be opened in such a way that mysql_derived_init() never
worked for CTE tables. As a result they were not marked as
derived and mysql_handle_derived() were not called for derived
tables used in their specifications.
The problem lies in not checking role privileges as well during SHOW
DATABASES command. This problem is also apparent for SHOW CREATE
DATABASE command.
Other SHOW COMMANDS make use of check_access, which in turn makes use of
acl_get for both priv_user and priv_role parts, which allows them to
function correctly.
- Changed names of SEQUENCE table columns to be more close to ANSI
- Fixed error message for SHOW SEQUENCE non_existing_sequence
- Allow syntax CACHE +1
- Fixed ALTER TABLE for TEMPORARY sequences.
