TODO:
- Make get_thd_memroot() inline
- To do this, we need to reduce dependence of include files, especially
so that sql_class.h is not depending in item.h
The bug happens because of a combination of unfortunate circumstances:
1. Arguments args[0] and args[2] of Item_func_concat point recursively
(through Item_direct_view_ref's) to the same Item_func_conv_charset.
Both args[0]->args[0]->ref[0] and args[2]->args[0]->ref[0] refer to
this Item_func_conv_charset.
2. When Item_func_concat::args[0]->val_str() is called,
Item_func_conv_charset::val_str() writes its result to
Item_func_conc_charset::tmp_value.
3. Then, for optimization purposes (to avoid copying),
Item_func_substr::val_str() initializes Item_func_substr::tmp_value
to point to the buffer fragment owned by Item_func_conv_charset::tmp_value
Item_func_substr::tmp_value is returned as a result of
Item_func_concat::args[0]->val_str().
4. Due to optimization to avoid memory reallocs,
Item_func_concat::val_str() remembers the result of args[0]->val_str()
in "res" and further uses "res" to collect the return value.
5. When Item_func_concat::args[2]->val_str() is called,
Item_func_conv_charset::tmp_value gets overwritten (see #1),
which effectively overwrites args[0]'s Item_func_substr::tmp_value (see #3),
which effectively overwrites "res" (see #4).
This patch does the following:
a. Changes Item_func_conv_charset::val_str(String *str) to use
tmp_value and str the other way around. After this change tmp_value
is used to store a temporary result, while str is used to return the value.
The fixes the second problem (without SUBSTR):
SELECT CONCAT(t2,'-',t2) c2
FROM (SELECT CONVERT(t USING latin1) t2 FROM t1) sub;
As Item_func_concat::val_str() supplies two different buffers when calling
args[0]->val_str() and args[2]->val_str(), in the new reduction the result
created during args[0]->val_str() does not get overwritten by
args[2]->val_str().
b. Fixing the same problem in val_str() for similar classes
Item_func_to_base64
Item_func_from_base64
Item_func_weight_string
Item_func_hex
Item_func_unhex
Item_func_quote
Item_func_compress
Item_func_uncompress
Item_func_des_encrypt
Item_func_des_decrypt
Item_func_conv_charset
Item_func_reverse
Item_func_soundex
Item_func_aes_encrypt
Item_func_aes_decrypt
Item_func_buffer
c. Fixing Item_func::val_str_from_val_str_ascii() the same way.
Now Item_str_ascii_func::ascii_buff is used for temporary value,
while the parameter passed to val_str() is used to return the result.
This fixes the same problem when conversion (from ASCII to e.g. UCS2)
takes place. See the ctype_ucs.test for example queries that returned
wrong results before the fix.
d. Some Item_func descendand classes had temporary String buffers
(tmp_value and tmp_str), but did not really use them.
Removing these temporary buffers from:
Item_func_decode_histogram
Item_func_format
Item_func_binlog_gtid_pos
Item_func_spatial_collection:
e. Removing Item_func_buffer::tmp_value, because it's not used any more.
f. Renaming Item_func_[un]compress::buffer to "tmp_value",
for consistency with other classes.
Note, this patch does not fix the following classes
(although they have a similar problem):
Item_str_conv
Item_func_make_set
Item_char_typecast
They have a complex implementations and simple swapping between "tmp_value"
and "str" won't work. These classes will be fixed separately.
- Adding Type_handler::make_table_field() and moving pieces of the code
from Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() to virtual implementations
for various type handlers.
- Adding a new Type_all_attributes, to access to Item's extended
attributes, such as decimal_precision() and geometry_type().
- Adding a new class Record_addr, to pass record related information
to Type_handler methods (ptr, null_ptr and null_bit) as a single structure.
Note, later it will possibly be extended for BIT-alike field purposes,
by adding new members (bit_ptr_arg, bit_ofs_arg).
- Moving the code from Field_new_decimal::create_from_item()
to Type_handler_newdecimal::make_table_field().
- Removing Field_new_decimal() and Field_geom() helper constructor
variants that were used for temporary field creation.
- Adding Item_field::type_handler(), Field::type_handler() and
Field_blob::type_handler() to return correct type handlers for
blob variants, according to Field_blob::packlength.
- Adding Type_handler_blob_common, as a common parent for
Type_handler_tiny_blob, Type_handler_blob, Type_handler_medium_blob
and Type_handler_long_blob.
- Implementing Type_handler_blob_common::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes().
It's needed for cases when TEXT variants of different character sets are mixed
in LEAST, GREATEST, CASE and its abreviations (IF, IFNULL, COALESCE), e.g.:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
a TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET latin1,
b TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8
);
CREATE TABLE t2 AS SELECT COALESCE(a,b) FROM t1;
Type handler aggregation returns TINYTEXT as a common data type
for the two columns. But as conversion from latin1 to utf8
happens for "a", the maximum possible length of "a" grows from 255 to 255*3.
Type_handler_blob_common::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() makes sure
to update the blob type handler according to max_length.
- Adding Type_handler::blob_type_handler(uint max_octet_length).
- Adding a few m_type_aggregator_for_result.add() pairs, because
now Item_xxx::type_handler() can return pointers to type_handler_tiny_blob,
type_handler_blob, type_handler_medium_blob, type_handler_long_blob.
Before the patch only type_handler_blob was possible result of type_handler().
- Making type_handler_tiny_blob, type_handler_blob, type_handler_medium_blob,
type_handler_long_blob public.
- Removing the condition in Item_sum_avg::create_tmp_field()
checking Item_sum_avg::result_type() against DECIMAL_RESULT.
Now both REAL_RESULT and DECIMAL_RESULT are symmetrically handled
by tmp_table_field_from_field_type().
- Removing Item_geometry_func::create_field_for_create_select(),
as the inherited version perfectly works.
- Fixing Item_func_as_wkb::field_type() to return MYSQL_TYPE_LONG_BLOB
rather than MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB. It's needed to make sure that
tmp_table_field_from_field_type() creates a LONGBLOB field for AsWKB().
- Fixing Item_func_as_wkt::fix_length_and_dec() to set max_length to
UINT32_MAX rather than MAX_BLOB_WIDTH, to make sure that
tmp_table_field_from_field_type() creates a LONGTEXT field for AsWKT().
- Removing Item_func_set_user_var::create_field_for_create_select(),
as the inherited version works fine.
- Adding Item_func_get_user_var::create_field_for_create_select() to
make sure that "CREATE TABLE t1 AS SELECT @string_user variable"
always creates a field of LONGTEXT/LONGBLOB type.
- Item_func_ifnull::create_field_for_create_select()
behavior has changed. Before the patch it passed set_blob_packflag=false,
which meant to create LONGBLOB for all blob variants.
Now it takes into account max_length, which gives better column
data types for:
CREATE TABLE t2 AS SELECT IFNULL(blob_column1, blob_column2) FROM t1;
- Fixing Item_func_nullif::fix_length_and_dec() to use
set_handler(args[2]->type_handler()) instead of
set_handler_by_field_type(args[2]->field_type()).
This is needed to distinguish between BLOB variants.
- Implementing Item_blob::type_handler(), to make sure to create
proper BLOB field variant, according to max_length, for queries like:
CREATE TABLE t1 AS
SELECT some_blob_field FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SOME_TABLE;
- Fixing Item_field::real_type_handler() to make sure that
the code aggregating fields for UNION gets a proper BLOB
variant type handler from fields.
- Adding a special code into Item_type_holder::make_field_by_type(),
to make sure that after aggregating field types it also properly
takes into account max_length when mixing TEXT variants of different
character sets and chooses a proper TEXT variant:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
a TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET latin1,
b TINYTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8
);
CREATE TABLE t2 AS SELECT a FROM t1 UNION SELECT b FROM t1;
- Adding tests, for better coverage of IFNULL, NULLIF, UNION.
- The fact that tmp_table_field_from_field_type() now takes
into account BLOB variants (instead of always creating LONGBLOB),
tests results for WEIGHT_STRING() and NULLIF() and UNION
have become more precise.
- Adding SHOW CREATE TABLE into all DEFAULT tests,
to cover need_parentheses_in_default() for all items
- Fixing a few items not to print parentheses in DEFAULT:
spatial function-alike predicates, IS_IPV4 and IS_IPV6 functions,
COLUMN_CHECK() and COLUMN_EXISTS().
GENERATED BY THE EXP() FUNCTION
When generating the error message for numeric overflow, pass a flag to
Item::print() that prevents it from expanding constant expressions and
parameters to the values they evaluate to.
For consistency, also pass the flag to Item::print() when
Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec() generates an error
message. It doesn't make any difference at the moment, since constant
expressions haven't been evaluated yet when this function is called.
MDEV-9408 CREATE TABLE SELECT MAX(int_column) creates different columns for table vs view
There were three almost identical pieces of the code:
- Field *Item_func::tmp_table_field();
- Field *Item_sum::create_tmp_field();
- Field *create_tmp_field_from_item();
with a difference in very small details (hence the bugs):
Only Item_func::tmp_table_field() was correct, the other two were not.
Removing the two incorrect pieces of the redundant code.
Joining these three functions/methods into a single virtual method
Item::create_tmp_field().
Additionally, moving Item::make_string_field() and
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() from the public into the
protected section of the class declaration, as they are now not
needed outside of Item.
- Turning get_mm_tree_for_const() from a static function into
a protected method in Item.
- Adding a new class Item_bool_func2_with_rev, for the functions and operators
that have a reverse function and can use the range optimizer for
to optimize "value OP field" as "field REV_OP value". Deriving
Item_bool_rowready_func2 and Item_funt_spatial_rel from the new class.
- Removing Item_bool_func2::have_rev_func().
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
Moving Item_func_spatial_rel from Item_bool_func to Item_bool_func2.
to make OP(const,field) use indexes.
- MBR functions supported OP(const,field) optimization in 10.0,
but were inintentionally broken in an earlier 10.1 change that introduced
a common parent for Item_func_spatial_mbr_rel and Item_func_spatial_precise_rel.
- Precise functions never supported optimization for OP(const,field).
Now both MBR and precise functions support OP(const,field) optimization.
adding a separte class Item_func_spatial_relate for ST_RELATE().
This is a preparatory patch for:
MDEV-8239 Reverse spatial operations OP(const, field) do not get optimized
