fixing test results accordingly.
func_system.test:
New test that illegal mix of collations does not happen anymore.
item_strfunc.h:
safe_charset_converter() was added for system constants.
item_strfunc.cc:
safe_charset_converter() was added for system constants.
item_func.cc, item.h, item.cc:
Bug#8291: Illegal collation mix with USER() function.
After discussion with PeterG and Serge, a new coercibility
level for "system constants" was introduced, between
COERRIBLE and IMPLICIT. Thus:
SELECT col1 = USER() FROM t1; - is done according to col1 collation.
SELECT 'string' = USER(); - is done according to USER() collation.
At the same time, "nagg" and "strong" members were removed as unused.
item_create.cc:
Version is a system constant too.
with view-merge algorithm and prepared statements: in case when some
Item_ref pointing to a view column was substituted with a reference
pointing to the view expression for that column
Item_ref::ref member of the original Item_ref was left pointing to
not_found_item (0x1).
As we currently perform expression substition part of the view-merge
algorithm per each execution of a prepared statement or stored procedure,
we need to preserve original Item_ref objects usable.
In Item_cache_decimal::store(item) the call item->val_decimal_result()
returns NULL if the passed item has an SQL null value. Don't try copying
NULL into Item_cache_decimal::val in this case.
Change string->float conversion to delay division as long as possible.
This gives us more exact integer->float conversion for numbers of type '123.45E+02' (Bug #7740)
Lots of small fixes to multi-precision-math path
Give Note for '123.4e'
Added helper functions type 'val_string_from_real()
Don't give warnings for end space for string2decimal()
Changed storage of values for SP so that we can detect length of argument without strlen()
Changed interface for str2dec() so that we must supple the pointer to the last character in the buffer
Ensure that references in HAVING, ORDER BY or GROUP BY are calculated after fields in SELECT.
This will ensure that any reference to these has a valid value.
Generalized the code for split_sum_func()
not default_charset_into. It fixes the
problem that in some cases numbers where
treated as CHAR(N), not as BINARY(N), e.g.
wrong 'charsetnr' when sent to the client side.
2. IFNULL didn't aggregate argument charsets
and collations, so IFNULL(1,'a') produced
a CHAR(N). Now produces a BINARY(N).
3. SELECT PROCEDURE ANALIZE now returns
BINARY columns, which is much better than it worked
previously: CHAR with the default character set.
But in the future it's worth to fix the fields
'Field_name' and 'Optimal_fieldtype' to use UTF8,
and 'Min_value' and 'Max_value' to inherit their charsets
from the original items. But it is not important,
and BINARY(N) is OK for now.
4. Tests were fixed accordingly. No new tests were
made, as the old onces cover everything.
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
* Added Item_ref::set_properties
* Item_ref::Item_ref now expects to get in *item either
NULL - then fix_fields() will be called later or
ptr to Item it will refer to - then an equivalent of fix_fields() call is performed
The problem in 4.1 was the same as in 4.0 - fix_fields() not called for created Item_ref.
The fix is similar too - initialize Item_refs in ctor (but don't interfere with cases when
Item_ref is used by subselects).
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
