As of now innodb does not store trx_id for each record in secondary index.
The idea behind is following: let us store only per-page max_trx_id, and
delete-mark the records when they are deleted/updated.
If the read starts, it rememders the lowest id of currently active
transaction. Innodb refers to it as trx->read_view->m_up_limit_id.
See also ReadView::open.
When the page is fetched, its max_trx_id is compared to m_up_limit_id.
If the value is lower, and the secondary index record is not delete-marked,
then this page is just safe to read as is. Else, a clustered index could be
needed ato access. See page_get_max_trx_id call in row_search_mvcc, and the
corresponding switch (row_search_idx_cond_check(...)) below.
Virtual columns are required to be updated in case if the record was
delete-marked. The motivation behind it is documented in
Row_sel_get_clust_rec_for_mysql::operator() near
row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_clust_rec call.
This was basically a description why virtual column computation can
normally happen during SELECT, and, generally, a vcol index access.
Sometimes stats tables are updated by innodb. This starts a new
transaction, and it can happen that it didn't finish to the moment of
SELECT execution, forcing virtual columns recomputation. If the result was
a something that normally outputs a warning, like division by zero, then
it could be outputted in a racy manner.
The solution is to suppress the warnings when a column is computed
for the described purpose.
ignore_wrnings argument is added innobase_get_computed_value.
Currently, it is only true for a call from
row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_clust_rec.
Main reason was to make it easier to print the above structures in
a debugger. Additional benefits is that I was able to use same
defines for both structures, which simplifes some code.
Most of the code is just removing Alter_info:: and Alter_inplace_info::
from alter table flags.
Following renames was done:
HA_ALTER_FLAGS -> alter_table_operations
CHANGE_CREATE_OPTION -> ALTER_CHANGE_CREATE_OPTION
Alter_info::ADD_INDEX -> ALTER_ADD_INDEX
DROP_INDEX -> ALTER_DROP_INDEX
ADD_UNIQUE_INDEX -> ALTER_ADD_UNIQUE_INDEX
DROP_UNIQUE_INDEx -> ALTER_DROP_UNIQUE_INDEX
ADD_PK_INDEX -> ALTER_ADD_PK_INDEX
DROP_PK_INDEX -> ALTER_DROP_PK_INDEX
Alter_info:ALTER_ADD_COLUMN -> ALTER_PARSE_ADD_COLUMN
Alter_info:ALTER_DROP_COLUMN -> ALTER_PARSE_DROP_COLUMN
Alter_inplace_info::ADD_INDEX -> ALTER_ADD_NON_UNIQUE_NON_PRIM_INDEX
Alter_inplace_info::DROP_INDEX -> ALTER_DROP_NON_UNIQUE_NON_PRIM_INDEX
Other things:
- Added typedef alter_table_operatons for alter table flags
- DROP CHECK CONSTRAINT can now be done online
- Added checks for Aria tables in alter_table_online.test
- alter_table_flags now takes an ulonglong as argument.
- Don't support online operations if checksum option is used.
- sql_lex.cc doesn't add ALTER_ADD_INDEX if index is not created
This will make it easier to how memory allocation is done when debugging
with either DBUG or gdb.
Will especially help when debugging stored procedures
Main change is a name argument as second argument to init_alloc_root()
init_sql_alloc()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ENTER/EXIT to some Virtual_tmp_table functions
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
