An unnecessarily restrictive lock were taken on sub-SELECTs during DELETE.
During parsing, a global structure is reused for sub-SELECTs and the attribute
keeping track of lock options were not reset properly.
This patch introduces a new attribute to keep track on the syntactical lock
option elements found in a sub-SELECT and then sets the lock options accordingly.
Now the sub-SELECTs will try to acquire a READ lock if possible
instead of a WRITE lock as inherited from the outer DELETE statement.
The problem was that some facilities (like CONVERT_TZ() function or
server HELP statement) may require implicit access to some tables in
'mysql' database. This access was done by ordinary means of adding
such tables to the list of tables the query is going to open.
However, if we issued LOCK TABLES before that, we would get "table
was not locked" error trying to open such implicit tables.
The solution is to treat certain tables as MySQL system tables, like
we already do for mysql.proc. Such tables may be opened for reading
at any moment regardless of any locks in effect. The cost of this is
that system table may be locked for writing only together with other
system tables, it is disallowed to lock system tables for writing and
have any other lock on any other table.
After this patch the following tables are treated as MySQL system
tables:
mysql.help_category
mysql.help_keyword
mysql.help_relation
mysql.help_topic
mysql.proc (it already was)
mysql.time_zone
mysql.time_zone_leap_second
mysql.time_zone_name
mysql.time_zone_transition
mysql.time_zone_transition_type
These tables are now opened with open_system_tables_for_read() and
closed with close_system_tables(), or one table may be opened with
open_system_table_for_update() and closed with close_thread_tables()
(the latter is used for mysql.proc table, which is updated as part of
normal MySQL server operation). These functions may be used when
some tables were opened and locked already.
NOTE: online update of time zone tables is not possible during
replication, because there's no time zone cache flush neither on LOCK
TABLES, nor on FLUSH TABLES, so the master may serve stale time zone
data from cache, while on slave updated data will be loaded from the
time zone tables.
and some SP-related cleanups.
- We don't have separate stage for calculation of list of tables
to be prelocked and doing implicit LOCK/UNLOCK any more.
Instead we calculate this list at open_tables() and do implicit
LOCK in lock_tables() (and UNLOCK in close_thread_tables()).
Also now we support cases when same table (with same alias) is
used several times in the same query in SP.
- Cleaned up execution of SP. Moved all common code which handles
LEX and does preparations before statement execution or complex
expression evaluation to auxilary sp_lex_keeper class. Now
all statements in SP (and corresponding instructions) that
evaluate expression which can contain subquery have their
own LEX.
Collect all tables and SPs refered by a statement, and open all tables
with an implicit LOCK TABLES. Do find things refered by triggers and views,
we open them first (and then repeat this until nothing new is found), before
doing the actual lock tables.
Speed up column-completion in 'mysql'
Don't use ISAM if HAVE_ISAM is not defined
A lot of fixes for the embedded version. All libraries are now included in libmysqld.a
Changed arguments to convert_dirname() to make it more general.
Renamed files in the 'merge' directory to all use a common prefix.
Don't compile both assembler and C functions on x86
