The assumption is that the engine should not need to
evaluate HAVING on the table->record[0] - the engine either
can evaluate HAVING internally before writing it to the
table->record[0], or it should leave it to the server,
that will evaluate HAVING(table->record[0]).
Similarly the engine should not need to evaluate ORDER
on the table->record[0]. Either it returns the data already
sorted, or the server will sort the table.
This task is to allow storage engines that can execute GROUP BY or
summary queries efficiently to intercept a full query or sub query from
MariaDB and deliver the result either to the client or to a temporary
table for further processing.
- Added code in sql_select.cc to intercept GROUP BY queries.
Creation of group_by_handler is done after all optimizations to allow
storage engine to benefit of an optimized WHERE clause and suggested
indexes to use.
- Added group by handler to sequence engine and a group_by test suite as
a way to test the new interface.
- Intercept EXPLAIN with a message "Storage engine handles GROUP BY"
libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt:
Added new group_by_handler files
sql/CMakeLists.txt:
Added new group_by_handler files
sql/group_by_handler.cc:
Implementation of group_by_handler functions
sql/group_by_handler.h:
Definition of group_by_handler class
sql/handler.h:
Added handlerton function to create a group_by_handler, if the storage
engine can intercept the query.
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
Allow one to evaluate item_equal any time.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Added code to intercept GROUP BY queries
- If all tables are from the same storage engine and the query is
using sum functions, call create_group_by() to check if the storage
engine can intercept the query.
- If yes:
- create a temporary table to hold a GROUP_BY row or result
- In do_select() intercept normal query execution by instead
calling the group_by_handler to get the result
- Intercept EXPLAIN
sql/sql_select.h:
Added handling of group_by_handler
Added caching of the original join tab (needed for cleanup after
group_by handler)
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.result:
Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.test:
Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/sequence.cc:
Added simple group_by_engine for handling COUNT(*) and
SUM(primary_key). This was done as a test of the group_by_handler
interface
