The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Since long, the compiled code of stored routines has been printed in the trace file
when starting mysqld with the "--debug" flag. (At creation time only, and only in
debug builds of course.) This has been helpful when debugging stored procedure
execution, but it's a bit awkward to use. Also, the printing of some of the
instructions is a bit terse, in particular for sp_instr_stmt where only the command
code was printed.
This improves the printout of several of the instructions, and adds the debugging-
only commands "show procedure code <name>" and "show function code <name>".
(In non-debug builds they are not available.)
ESCAPE has length of 1 if specified and sql_mode is NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES
or has length of 0 or 1 in every other situation.
(approved patch applied on a up-to-date tree re-commit)
When fixing Item_func_plus in ORDER BY clause field c is searched in all
opened tables, but because c is an alias it wasn't found there.
This patch adds a flag to select_lex which allows Item_field::fix_fields()
to look up in select's item_list to find aliased fields.
cursor is interpreted latin1 character and Bug#9819 "Cursors: Mysql Server
Crash while fetching from table with 5 million records."
A fix for a possible memory leak when fetching into an SP cursor
in a long loop.
The patch uses a common implementation of cursors in the binary protocol and
in stored procedures and implements materialized cursors.
For implementation details, see comments in sql_cursor.cc
This bug occurs when some trigger for table used by DML statement is created
or changed while statement was waiting in lock_tables(). In this situation
prelocking set which we have calculated becames invalid which can easily lead
to errors and even in some cases to crashes.
With proposed patch we no longer silently reopen tables in lock_tables(),
instead caller of lock_tables() becomes responsible for reopening tables and
recalculation of prelocking set.
The idea of the patch is to separate statement processing logic,
such as parsing, validation of the parsed tree, execution and cleanup,
from global query processing logic, such as logging, resetting
priorities of a thread, resetting stored procedure cache, resetting
thread count of errors and warnings.
This makes PREPARE and EXECUTE behave similarly to the rest of SQL
statements and allows their use in stored procedures.
This patch contains a change in behaviour:
until recently for each SQL prepared statement command, 2 queries
were written to the general log, e.g.
[Query] prepare stmt from @stmt_text;
[Prepare] select * from t1 <-- contents of @stmt_text
The chagne was necessary to prevent [Prepare] commands from being written
to the general log when executing a stored procedure with Dynamic SQL.
We should consider whether the old behavior is preferrable and probably
restore it.
This patch refixes Bug#7115, Bug#10975 (partially), Bug#10605 (various bugs
in Dynamic SQL reported before it was disabled).
"Interleaved SPs execution is now binlogged properly, "SELECT spfunc()" is binlogged too.
The known remaining issue is binlogging/replication of "a routine is deleted while it is executed" scenario.
"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
- in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
- natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
for any number/nesting of the joins.
- column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
name resolution contexts used at parse time.
NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
- there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
- it does not include a new test specific for the task
cause crash on update".
Let us update "thd" pointer in LEX, all its units and in LEX::result before
executing statement in trigger body, since triggers are associated with TABLE
object and because of this can be used in different threads.
