according to the standard.
The idea is to use Field-classes to implement stored routines
variables. Also, we should provide facade to Item-hierarchy
by Item_field class (it is necessary, since SRVs take part
in expressions).
The patch fixes the following bugs:
- BUG#8702: Stored Procedures: No Error/Warning shown for inappropriate data
type matching;
- BUG#8768: Functions: For any unsigned data type, -ve values can be passed
and returned;
- BUG#8769: Functions: For Int datatypes, out of range values can be passed
and returned;
- BUG#9078: STORED PROCDURE: Decimal digits are not displayed when we use
DECIMAL datatype;
- BUG#9572: Stored procedures: variable type declarations ignored;
- BUG#12903: upper function does not work inside a function;
- BUG#13705: parameters to stored procedures are not verified;
- BUG#13808: ENUM type stored procedure parameter accepts non-enumerated
data;
- BUG#13909: Varchar Stored Procedure Parameter always BINARY string (ignores
CHARACTER SET);
- BUG#14161: Stored procedure cannot retrieve bigint unsigned;
- BUG#14188: BINARY variables have no 0x00 padding;
- BUG#15148: Stored procedure variables accept non-scalar values;
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.)
"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.
Fixed backpatching of forward jumps.
Implemented LOOP, WHILE, REPEAT (temporarily known as SPREPEAT).
Known bug: Expression evaluation still not quite ok (e.g. "x > 0"),
which is why IF and CASE is not yet implemented.
Implements creation and dropping of PROCEDUREs, IN, OUT, and INOUT parameters,
single-statement procedures, rudimentary multi-statement (begin-end) prodedures
(when the client can handle it), and local variables.
Missing most of the embedded SQL language, all attributes, FUNCTIONs, error handling,
reparses procedures at each call (no caching), etc, etc.
Certainly buggy too, but procedures can actually be created and called....
