virtual Item_null_result::get_date() was not overridden.
It used the inherited Item::get_date(), which tests field_type(),
which in case of Item_null_result calls result_field->field_type(),
and result_field is not really always set (e.g. it's not set in the
test case from the bug report).
Overriding Item_null::get_date() like it's done for other val_xxx() methods.
This make the code more symmetric across data types.
In the new reduction, get_date() immediately returns NULL without entering
into any data type specific code.
MDEV-16426 Optimizer erroneously treats equal constants of different formats as same
A cleanup for MDEV-14630: fixing a crash in Item_decimal::eq().
Problems:
- old implementations of Item_decimal::eq() and
Item_temporal_literal::eq() were not symmetric
with Item_param::eq(), this caused MDEV-11361.
- old implementations for DECIMAL and temporal data types
did not take into account that in case when eq() is called
with binary_cmp==true, {{eq()}} should check not only equality
of the two values, but also equality if their decimal precision.
This cuases MDEV-16426.
- Item_decimal::eq() crashes with "item" pointing
to a non-DECIMAL value. Before MDEV-14630
non-DECIMAL values were filtered out by the test:
type() == item->type()
as literals of different types had different type().
After MDEV-14630 type() for literals of all data types return CONST_ITEM.
This caused failures in tests:
./mtr engines/iuds.insert_number
./mtr --ps --embedded main.explain_slowquerylog
(revealed by buildbot)
The essence of the fix:
Making literals and Item_param reuse the same code to avoid
asymmetries between Item_param::eq(Item_literal) and
Item_literal::eq(Item_param), now and in the future, and to
avoid code duplication between Item_literal and Item_param.
Adding tests for "decimals" for DECIMAL and temporal data types,
to treat constants of different scale as not equal when "binary_cmp"
is "true".
Details:
1. Adding a helper class Item_const to extract constant values from Items easier
2. Deriving Item_basic_value from Item_const
3. Joining Type_handler::Item_basic_value_eq() and Item_basic_value_bin_eq()
into a single method with an extra "binary_cmp" argument
(it looks simple this way) and renaming the new method to Item_const_eq().
Modifying its implementations to operate with
Item_const instead of Item_basic_value.
4. Adding a new class Type_handler_hex_hybrid,
to handle hex constants like 0x616263.
5. Removing Item::VARBIN_ITEM and fixing Item_hex_constant to
use type_handler_hex_hybrid instead of type_handler_varchar.
Item_hex_hybrid::type() now returns CONST_ITEM, like all
other literals do.
6. Move virtual methods Item::type_handler_for_system_time() and
Item::cast_to_int_type_handler() from Item to Type_handler.
7. Removing Item_decimal::eq() and Item_temporal_literal::eq().
These classes are now handled by the generic Item_basic_value::eq().
8. Implementing Type_handler_temporal_result::Item_const_eq()
and Type_handler_decimal_result::Item_const_eq(),
this fixes MDEV-11361.
9. Adding tests for "decimals" into
Type_handler_decimal_result::Item_const_eq() and
Type_handler_temporal_result::Item_const_eq()
in case if "binary_cmp" is true.
This fixes MDEV-16426.
10. Moving Item_cache out of Item_basic_value.
They share nothing. It simplifies implementation
of Item_basic_value::eq(). Deriving Item_cache
directly from Item.
11. Adding class DbugStringItemTypeValue, which
used Item::print() internally, and using
in instead of the old debug printing code.
This gives nicer output in func_debug.result.
Changes N5 and N6 do not directly relate to the bugs fixed,
but make the code fully symmetric across all literal types.
Without a new handler Type_handler_hex_hybrid we'd have
to keep two code branches (for regular literals and for
hex hybrid literals).
The problem described in the bug report happened because the code
did not test check_cols(1) after fix_fields() in a few places.
Additionally, fix_fields() could be called multiple times for SP variables,
because they are all fixed at a early stage in append_for_log().
Solution:
1. Adding a few helper methods
- fix_fields_if_needed()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_scalar()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_bool()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_order_by()
and using it in many cases instead of fix_fields() where
the "fixed" status is not definitely known to be "false".
2. Adding DBUG_ASSERT(!fixed) into Item_splocal*::fix_fields()
to catch double execution.
3. Adding tests.
As a good side effect, the patch removes a lot of duplicate code (~60 lines):
if (!item->fixed &&
item->fix_fields(..) &&
item->check_cols(1))
return true;
Now the boolean data type is preserved in hybrid functions and MIN/MAX,
so COALESCE(bool_expr,bool_expr) and MAX(bool_expr) are correctly
detected by JSON_OBJECT() as being boolean rather than numeric expressions.
- Removing tests of item->type() against INT_ITEM and replacing
them to calls of new method item->is_bool_literal().
- Changing constant conditions to use Item_bool() instead of Item_int().
1. Adding new methods:
- Item::is_order_clause_position()
- Item_splocal::is_valid_limit_clause_variable_with_error()
- Type_handler::is_order_clause_position_type()
- is_limit_clause_valid_type()
and changing all tests related to the ORDER and LIMIT clauses
like "item->type()==INT_ITEM" to these new methods.
2. Adding a helper function prepare_param() in sql_analyse.cc
and replacing three pieces of duplicate code to prepare_param() calls.
Replacing the test "item->type()!=Item::INT_ITEM" to an equivalent
condition using item->basic_const_item() and type_handler()->result_type().
Detailed: changes:
1. Moving Field specific code into new methods on Field:
- Field *Field::create_tmp_field(...)
- virtual void init_for_tmp_table(...)
2. Removing virtual Item::create_tmp_field().
Adding instead a new virtual method Item::create_tmp_field_ex().
Note, a virtual create_tmp_field() still exists, but only for Item_sum.
This resembles 10.0 code structure. Perhaps create_tmp_field() should
be removed from Item_sum and Item_sum descendants should override
create_tmp_field_ex() directly. This can be done in a separate commit.
3. Adding helper classes Tmp_field_src and Tmp_field_param,
to make the API for Item::create_tmp_field_ex() smaller
and easier to extend in the future.
4. Decomposing the public function create_tmp_field() into
virtual implementations for Item and a number of its descendants:
- Item_basic_value
- Item_sp_variable
- Item_name_const
- Item_result_field
- Item_field
- Item_ref
- Item_type_holder
- Item_row
- Item_func_sp
- Item_func_user_var
- Item_sum
- Item_sum_field
- Item_proc
5. Adding DBUG_ASSERT-only virtual implementations for
Item types that should not appear in create_tmp_table_ex(),
for easier debugging:
- Item_nodeset_func
- Item_nodeset_to_const_comparator
- Item_null_result
- Item_copy
- Item_ident_for_show
- Item_user_var_as_out_param
6. Moving public function create_tmp_field_from_field()
as a method to Item_field.
7. Removing Item::set_result_field(). It's not needed any more.
8. Cleanup: Removing the enum value "EXPR_CACHE_ITEM",
as it's not used for a very long time.
- Using array_elements() instead of a constant to iterate through an array
- Adding some comments
- Adding new-line function comments
- Using STRING_WITH_LEN instead of C_STRING_WITH_LEN
Queries involving rollup need all aggregate function to have copy_or_same function where we create a copy
of item_sum items for each sum level.
Implemented copy_or_same function for the custom aggregate function class (Item_sum_sp)
The logic and the implementation scheme are similar with the
MDEV-9197 Pushdown conditions into non-mergeable views/derived tables
How the push down is made on the example:
select * from t1
where a>3 and b>10 and
(a,b) in (select x,max(y) from t2 group by x);
-->
select * from t1
where a>3 and b>10 and
(a,b) in (select x,max(y)
from t2
where x>3
group by x
having max(y)>10);
The implementation scheme:
1. Search for the condition cond that depends only on the fields
from the left part of the IN subquery (left_part)
2. Find fields F_group in the select of the right part of the
IN subquery (right_part) that are used in the GROUP BY
3. Extract from the cond condition cond_where that depends only on the
fields from the left_part that stay at the same places in the left_part
(have the same indexes) as the F_group fields in the projection of the
right_part
4. Transform cond_where so it can be pushed into the WHERE clause of the
right_part and delete cond_where from the cond
5. Transform cond so it can be pushed into the HAVING clause of the right_part
The optimization is made in the
Item_in_subselect::pushdown_cond_for_in_subquery() and is controlled by the
variable condition_pushdown_for_subquery.
New test file in_subq_cond_pushdown.test is created.
There are also some changes made for setup_jtbm_semi_joins().
Now it is decomposed into the 2 procedures: setup_degenerate_jtbm_semi_joins()
that is called before optimize_cond() for cond and setup_jtbm_semi_joins()
that is called after optimize_cond().
New setup_jtbm_semi_joins() is made in the way so that the result of its work is
the same as if it was called before optimize_cond().
The code that is common for pushdown into materialized derived and into materialized
IN subqueries is factored out into pushdown_cond_for_derived(),
Item_in_subselect::pushdown_cond_for_in_subquery() and
st_select_lex::pushdown_cond_into_where_clause().
rename to post_fix_fields_part_expr_processor()
because it's only used after fix_fields in
fix_fields_part_func() and can be used for
various post-fix_fields fixups
MDEV-16100 FOR SYSTEM_TIME erroneously resolves string user variables as transaction IDs
Problem:
Vers_history_point::resolve_unit() tested item->result_type() before
item->fix_fields() was called.
- Item_func_get_user_var::result_type() returned REAL_RESULT by default.
This caused MDEV-16100.
- Item_func_sp::result_type() crashed on assert.
This caused MDEV-16094
Changes:
1. Adding item->fix_fields() into Vers_history_point::resolve_unit()
before using data type specific properties of the history point
expression.
2. Adding a new virtual method Type_handler::Vers_history_point_resolve_unit()
3. Implementing type-specific
Type_handler_xxx::Type_handler::Vers_history_point_resolve_unit()
in the way to:
a. resolve temporal and general purpose string types to TIMESTAMP
b. resolve BIT and general purpose INT types to TRANSACTION
c. disallow use of non-relevant data type expressions in FOR SYSTEM_TIME
Note, DOUBLE and DECIMAL data types are disallowed intentionally.
- DOUBLE does not have enough precision to hold huge BIGINT UNSIGNED values
- DECIMAL rounds on conversion to INT
Both lack of precision and rounding might potentionally lead to
very unpredictable results when a wrong transaction ID would be chosen.
If one really wants dangerous use of DOUBLE and DECIMAL, explicit CAST
can be used:
FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF CAST(double_or_decimal AS UNSIGNED)
QQ: perhaps DECIMAL(N,0) could still be allowed.
4. Adding a new virtual method Item::type_handler_for_system_time(),
to make HEX hybrids and bit literals work as TRANSACTION rather
than TIMESTAMP.
5. sql_yacc.yy: replacing the rule temporal_literal to "TIMESTAMP TEXT_STRING".
Other temporal literals now resolve to TIMESTAMP through the new
Type_handler methods. No special grammar needed. This removed
a few shift/resolve conflicts.
(TIMESTAMP related conflicts in "history_point:" will be removed separately)
6. Removing the "timestamp_only" parameter from
vers_select_conds_t::resolve_units() and Vers_history_point::resolve_unit().
It was a hint telling that a table did not have any TRANSACTION-aware
system time columns, so it's OK to resolve to TIMESTAMP in case of uncertainty.
In the new reduction it works as follows:
- the decision between TIMESTAMP and TRANSACTION is first made
based only on the expression data type only
- then, in case if the expression resolved to TRANSACTION, the table
is checked if TRANSACTION-aware columns really exist.
This way is safer against possible ALTER TABLE statements changing
ROW START and ROW END columns from "BIGINT UNSIGNED" to "TIMESTAMP(x)"
or the other way around.
multiple times with different arguments.
If the ON expression of an outer join is an OR formula with one
of the disjunct being a constant formula then the expression
cannot be null-rejected if the constant formula is true. Otherwise
it can be null-rejected and if so the outer join can be converted
into inner join. This optimization was added in the patch for
mdev-4817. Yet the code had a defect: if the query was used in
a stored procedure with parameters and the constant item contained
some of them then the value of this constant item depended on the
values of the parameters. With some parameters it may be true,
for others not. The validity of conversion to inner join is checked
only once and it happens only for the first call of procedure.
So if the parameters in the first call allowed the conversion it
was done and next calls used the transformed query though there
could be calls whose parameters made the conversion invalid.
Fixed by cheking whether the constant disjunct in the ON expression
originally contained an SP parameter. If so the expression is not
considered as null-rejected. For this check a new item's attribute
was intruduced: Item::with_param. It is calculated for each item
by fix fields() functions.
Also moved the call of optimize_constant_subqueries() in
JOIN::optimize after the call of simplify_joins(). The reason
for this is that after the optimization introduced by the patch
for mdev-4817 simplify_joins() can use the results of execution
of non-expensive constant subqueries and this is not valid.
This patch does the following:
1. Makes Field_vers_trx_id::type_handler() return
&type_handler_vers_trx_id rather than &type_handler_longlong.
Fixes Item_func::convert_const_compared_to_int_field() to
test field_item->type_handler() against &type_handler_vers_trx_id,
instead of testing field_item->vers_trx_id().
2. Removes VERS_TRX_ID related code from
Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_comparison(),
because "BIGINT UNSIGNED GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW {START|END}"
columns behave just like a BIGINT in a regular comparison,
i.e. when not inside AS OF.
3. Removes
- Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::m_vers_trx_id;
- Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::m_flags;
because a "BIGINT UNSIGNED GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW {START|END}"
behaves like a regular BIGINT column when in UNION.
4. Removes Field::vers_trx_id(), Item::vers_trx_id(), Item::field_flags()
They are not needed anymore. See N1.
Problems:
1. Unlike Item_field::fix_fields(),
Item_sum_sp::fix_length_and_dec() and Item_func_sp::fix_length_and_dec()
did not run the code which resided in adjust_max_effective_column_length(),
therefore they did not extend max_length for the integer return data types
from the user-specified length to the maximum length according to
the data type capacity.
2. The code in adjust_max_effective_column_length() was not correct
for TEXT data, because Field_blob::max_display_length()
multiplies to mbmaxlen. So TEXT variants were unintentionally
promoted to the next longer data type for multi-byte character
sets: TINYTEXT->TEXT, TEXT->MEDIUMTEXT, MEDIUMTEXT->LONGTEXT.
3. Item_sum_sp::create_table_field_from_handler()
Item_func_sp::create_table_field_from_handler()
erroneously called tmp_table_field_from_field_type(),
which converted VARCHAR(>512) to TEXT variants.
So "CREATE..SELECT spfunc()" erroneously converted
VARCHAR to TEXT. This was wrong, because stored
functions have explicitly declared data types,
which should be preserved.
Solution:
- Removing Type_std_attributes(const Field *)
and using instead Type_std_attributes::set() in combination
with field->type_str_attributes() all around the code, e.g.:
Type_std_attributes::set(field->type_std_attributes())
These two ways of copying attributes from a Field
to an Item duplicated each other, and were slightly
different in how to mix max_length and mbmaxlen.
- Removing adjust_max_effective_column_length() and
fixing Field::type_std_attributes() to do all necessary
type-specific calculations , so no further adjustments
is needed.
Field::type_std_attributes() is now called from all affected methods:
Item_field::fix_fields()
Item_sum_sp::fix_length_and_dec()
Item_func_sp::fix_length_and_dec()
This fixes the problem N1.
- Making Field::type_std_attributes() virtual, to make
sure that type-specific adjustments a properly done
by individual Field_xxx classes. Implementing
Field_blob::type_std_attributes() in the way that
no TEXT promotion is done.
This fixes the problem N2.
- Fixing Item_sum_sp::create_table_field_from_handler()
Item_func_sp::create_table_field_from_handler() to
call create_table_field_from_handler() instead of
tmp_table_field_from_field_type() to avoid
VARCHAR->TEXT conversion on "CREATE..SELECT spfunc()".
- Recording mysql-test/suite/compat/oracle/r/sp-param.result
as "CREATE..SELECT spfunc()" now correctly
preserve the data type as specified in the RETURNS clause.
- Adding new tests
Renaming methods:
- Field::make_field(Send_field*) to make_send_field(..)
- Item::make_field(THD *,Send_field *) to make_send_field(..)
- Item::init_make_field(Send_field *, enum_field_type) to init_make_send_field(..)
These names looked similar to other functions that are used
for a very different purpose (creating Field instances):
- Public function "Field * make_field(..)"
- Method "Field *Column_defitinion::make_field(..)"
The rename makes it's easier to search the code using "grep".
Do not assume that it's always item->field_type() - this is not the case
in temporal comparisons (e.g. when comparing DATETIME column with a TIME
literal).
- CREATE PACKAGE [BODY] statements are now
entirely written to mysql.proc with type='PACKAGE' and type='PACKAGE BODY'.
- CREATE PACKAGE BODY now supports IF NOT EXISTS
- DROP PACKAGE BODY now supports IF EXISTS
- CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE [BODY] is now supported
- CREATE PACKAGE [BODY] now support the DEFINER clause:
CREATE DEFINER user@host PACKAGE pkg ... END;
CREATE DEFINER user@host PACKAGE BODY pkg ... END;
- CREATE PACKAGE [BODY] now supports SQL SECURITY and COMMENT clauses, e.g.:
CREATE PACKAGE p1 SQL SECURITY INVOKER COMMENT "comment" AS ... END;
- Package routines are now created from the package CREATE PACKAGE BODY
statement and don't produce individual records in mysql.proc.
- CREATE PACKAGE BODY now supports package-wide variables.
Package variables can be read and set inside package routines.
Package variables are stored in a separate sp_rcontext,
which is cached in THD on the first packate routine call.
- CREATE PACKAGE BODY now supports the initialization section.
- All public routines (i.e. declared in CREATE PACKAGE)
must have implementations in CREATE PACKAGE BODY
- Only public package routines are available outside of the package
- {CREATE|DROP} PACKAGE [BODY] now respects CREATE ROUTINE and ALTER ROUTINE
privileges
- "GRANT EXECUTE ON PACKAGE BODY pkg" is now supported
- SHOW CREATE PACKAGE [BODY] is now supported
- SHOW PACKAGE [BODY] STATUS is now supported
- CREATE and DROP for PACKAGE [BODY] now works for non-current databases
- mysqldump now supports packages
- "SHOW {PROCEDURE|FUNCTION) CODE pkg.routine" now works for package routines
- "SHOW PACKAGE BODY CODE pkg" now works (the package initialization section)
- A new package body level MDL was added
- Recursive calls for package procedures are now possible
- Routine forward declarations in CREATE PACKATE BODY are now supported.
- Package body variables now work as SP OUT parameters
- Package body variables now work as SELECT INTO targets
- Package body variables now support ROW, %ROWTYPE, %TYPE
Lots of changes:
* calculate the current history partition in ::external_lock(),
not in ::write_row() or ::update_row()
* remove dynamically collected per-partition row_end stats
* no full table scan in open_table_from_share to calculate these
stats, no manual MDL/thr_locks in open_table_from_share
* no shared stats in TABLE_SHARE = no mutexes or condition waits when
calculating current history partition
* always compare timestamps, don't convert them to MYSQL_TIME
(avoid DST ambiguity, and it's faster too)
* correct interval handling, 1 month = 1 month, not 30 * 24 * 3600 seconds
* save/restore first partition start time, and count intervals from there
* only allow to drop first partitions if INTERVAL
* when adding new history partitions, split the data in the last history
parition, if it was overflowed
* show partition boundaries in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS
The problem was that Item_func_hybrid_field_type::get_date() did not
convert the result to the correct data type, so MYSQL_TIME::time_type
of the get_date() result could be not in sync with field_type().
Changes:
1. Adding two new classes Datetime and Date to store MYSQL_TIMESTAMP_DATETIME
and MYSQL_TIMESTAMP_DATE values respectively
(in addition to earlier added class Time, for MYSQL_TIMESTAMP_TIME values).
2. Adding Item_func_hybrid_field_type::time_op().
It performs the operation using TIME representation,
and always returns a MYSQL_TIME value with time_type=MYSQL_TIMESTAMP_TIME.
Implementing time_op() for all affected children classes.
3. Fixing all implementations of date_op() to perform the operation
using strictly DATETIME representation. Now they always return a MYSQL_TIME
value with time_type=MYSQL_TIMESTAMP_{DATE|DATETIME},
according to the result data type.
4. Removing assignment of ltime.time_type to mysql_timestamp_type()
from all val_xxx_from_date_op(), because now date_op() makes sure
to return a proper MYSQL_TIME value with a good time_type (and other member)
5. Adding Item_func_hybrid_field_type::val_xxx_from_time_op().
6. Overriding Type_handler_time_common::Item_func_hybrid_field_type_val_xxx()
to call val_xxx_from_time_op() instead of val_xxx_from_date_op().
7. Modified Item_func::get_arg0_date() to return strictly a TIME value
if TIME_TIME_ONLY is passed, or return strictly a DATETIME value otherwise.
If args[0] returned a value of a different temporal type,
(for example a TIME value when TIME_TIME_ONLY was not passed,
or a DATETIME value when TIME_TIME_ONLY was passed), the conversion
is automatically applied.
Earlier, get_arg0_date() did not guarantee a result in
accordance to TIME_TIME_ONLY flag.
There were two problems related to the bug report:
1. Item_datetime::get_date() was not implemented.
So execution went through val_int() followed
by int-to-datetime or int-to-time conversion.
This was the reason why the optimizer did not
work well on data with fractional seconds.
2. Item_datetime::set() did not have a TIME specific code
to mix months and days to hours after unpack_time().
This is why the optimizer did not work well with negative
TIME values, as well as huge time values.
Changes:
1. Overriding Item_datetime::get_date(), to return ltime.
This fixes the problem N1.
2. Cleanup: Moving pack_time() and unpack_time() from
sql-common/my_time.c and include/my_time.h to
sql/sql_time.cc and sql/sql_time.h, as they are not needed
on the client side.
3. Adding a new "enum_mysql_timestamp_type ts_type" parameter
to unpack_time() and moving the TIME specific code to mix
months and days with hours inside unpack_time().
Adding a new "ts_type" parameter to Item_datetime::set(),
to pass it from the caller down to unpack_time().
So now the TIME specific code is automatically called
from Item_datetime::set(). This fixes the problem N2.
This change also helped to get rid of duplicate TIME specific code
from other three places, where mixing month/days to hours
was done immediately after unpack_time().
Moving the DATE specific code to zero hhmmssff
from Item_func_min_max::get_date_native to inside unpack_time(),
for symmetry.
4. Removing the virtual method in_vector::result_type(),
adding in_vector::type_handler() instead.
This helps to get result_type(), field_type(),
mysql_timestamp_type() of an in_vector easier.
Passing type_handler()->mysql_timestamp_type() as
a new parameter to Item_datetime::set() inside
in_temporal::value_to_item().
5. Cleaup: Removing separate implementations of in_datetime::get_value()
and in_time::get_value(). Adding a single implementation
in_temporal::get_value() instead.
Passing type_handler()->field_type() to get_value_internal().
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
After MDEV-14212, the Virtual_tmp_table instance that stores a ROW
variable elements is accessible from the underlying Field_row
(rather than Item_field_row).
This patch makes some further changes by moving the code from
sp_instr_xxx, sp_rcontext, Item_xxx to Virtual_tmp_table and Field_xxx.
The data type specific code (scalar vs ROW) now resides in
a new virtual method Field_xxx::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
The the code in sp_rcontext::set_variable() and sp_eval_expr()
is now symmetric for scalar and ROW values.
The code in sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field(), sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field(), sp_rcontext::set_variable_row()
is now symmetric for ROW elements (i.e. scalar and ROW elements inside a ROW).
Rationale:
Prepare the code to implement these tasks soon easier:
- MDEV-12252 ROW data type for stored function return values
- MDEV-12307 ROW data type for built-in function return values
- MDEV-6121 Data type: Array
- MDEV-10593 sql_mode=ORACLE: TYPE .. AS OBJECT: basic functionality
- ROW with ROW fields (no MDEV yet)
Details:
1. Moving the code in sp_eval_expr() responsible to backup/restore
thd->count_cuted_fields, thd->abort_on_warning,
thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table
into a new helper class Sp_eval_expr_state, to reuse it easier.
Fixing sp_eval_expr() to use this new class.
2. Moving sp_eval_expr() and sp_prepare_func_item() from public functions
to methods in THD, so they can be reused in *.cc files easier without
a need to include "sp_head.h".
Splitting sp_prepare_func_item() into two parts.
Adding a new function sp_fix_func_item(), which fixes
the underlying items, but does not do check_cols() for them.
Reusing sp_fix_func_item() in Field_row::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
3. Moving the code to find ROW fields by name from Item to Virtual_tmp_table
Moving the code searching for ROW fields by their names
from Item_field_row::element_index_by_name() to a new method
Item_field_row to Virtual_tmp_table::sp_find_field_by_name().
Adding wrapper methods sp_rcontext::find_row_field_by_name() and
find_row_field_by_name_or_error(), to search for a ROW variable
fields by the variable offset and its field name.
Changing Item_splocal_row_field_by_name::fix_fields() to do
use sp_rcontext::find_row_field_by_name_or_error().
Removing virtual Item::element_index_by_name().
4. Splitting sp_rcontext::set_variable()
Adding a new virtual method Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
Spliting the two branches of the code in sp_rcontext::set_variable()
into two virtual implementations of Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item(),
(for Field and for Field_row).
Moving the former part of sp_rcontext::set_variable() with the loop
doing set_null() for all ROW fields into a new method
Virtual_tmp_table::set_all_fields_to_null() and using it in
Field_row::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
Moving the former part of sp_rcontext::set_variable() with the loop
doing set_variable_row_field() into a new method
Virtual_tmp_table::set_all_fields_from_item() and using it in
Field_row::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
The loop in the new method now uses sp_prepare_and_store_item()
instead of set_variable_row_field(), because saving/restoring
THD flags is now done on the upper level. No needs to save/restore
on every iteration.
5. Fixing sp_eval_expr() to simply do two things:
- backup/restore THD flags
- call result_field->sp_prepare_and_store_item()
So now sp_eval_expr() can be used for both scalar and ROW variables.
Reusing it in sp_rcontext::set_variable*().
6. Moving the loop in sp_rcontext::set_variable_row() into a
new method Virtual_tmp_table::sp_set_all_fields_from_item_list().
Changing the loop body to call field->sp_prepare_and_store_item()
instead of doing set_variable_row_field(). This removes
saving/restoring of the THD flags from every interation.
Instead, adding the code to save/restore the flags around
the entire loop in set_variable_row(), using Sp_eval_expr_state.
So now saving/restoring is done only once for the entire ROW
(a slight performance improvement).
7. Removing the code in sp_instr_set::exec_core() that sets
a variable to NULL if the value evaluation failed.
sp_rcontext::set_variable() now makes sure to reset
the variable properly by effectively calling sp_eval_expr(),
which calls virtual Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
Removing the similar code from sp_instr_set_row_field::exec_core()
and sp_instr_set_row_field_by_name::exec_core().
Removing the method sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field_to_null(),
as it's not used any more.
8. Removing the call for sp_prepare_func_item() from
sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field(), as it was duplicate:
it was done inside sp_eval_expr(). Now it's done inside
virtual Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
9. Moving the code from sp_instr_set_row_field_by_name::exec_core()
into sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field_by_name(), for symmetry
with other sp_instr_set*::exec_core()/sp_rcontext::set_variable*() pairs.
Now sp_instr_set_row_field_by_name::exec_core() calls
sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field_by_name().
10. Misc:
- Adding a helper private method sp_rcontext::virtual_tmp_table_for_row(),
reusing it in a new sp_rcontext methods.
- Removing Item_field_row::get_row_field(), as it's not used any more.
- Removing the "Item *result_item" from sp_eval_expr(),
as it's not needed any more.
MDEV-14957: JOIN::prepare gets unusable "conds" as argument
Do not touch merged derived (it is irreversible)
Fix first argument of in_optimizer for calls possible before fix_fields()
TRASH was mapped to TRASH_FREE and was supposed to be used for memory
that should not be accessed anymore, while TRASH_ALLOC() is to be
used for uninitialized but to-be-used memory.
But sometimes TRASH() was used in the latter sense.
Remove TRASH() macro, always use explicit TRASH_ALLOC() or TRASH_FREE().
This commit implements aggregate stored functions. The basic idea behind
the feature is:
* Implement a special instruction FETCH GROUP NEXT ROW that will pause
the execution of the stored function. When the instruction is reached,
execution of the initial query resumes "as if" the function returned.
This gives the server the opportunity to advance to the next row in the
result set.
* Stored aggregates behave like regular aggregate functions. The
implementation of thus resides in the class Item_sum_sp. Because it is
an aggregate function, for each new row in the group, the
Item_sum_sp::add() method will be called. This is when execution resumes
and the function does another iteration to "add" one extra element to
the final result.
* When the end of group is reached, val_xxx() method will be called for
the item. This case is handled by another execute step for the stored
function, only with a special flag to force a call to the return
handler. See Item_sum_sp::execute() for details.
To allow this pause and resume semantic, we must preserve the function
context across executions. This is stored in Item_sp::sp_query_arena only for
aggregate stored functions, but has no impact for regular functions.
We also enforce aggregate functions to include the "FETCH GROUP NEXT ROW"
instruction.

In preparation for implementing custom aggregate functions, refactor
the common code between regular stored functions and aggregate stored
functions. This includes:
* initialising SP result field
* executing a SP
* access checks
In addition, refactor sp_head::execute_function to take two extra
parameters, a function rcontext and a Query_arena. These two paremeters
were initially initialised and destroyed within
sp_head::execute_function, but for aggregate stored functions we will
require control over their lifetime. The owner of these objects now
becomes Item_sp.

Spider patches 026 (MDEV-7723), 031 (MDEV-7727) and 058 (MDEV-12532)
This allows the storage engine to internally compute sum and count
operations.
- Enhance sum items to be able to store the sum value directly.
- return_record_by_parent() is enabled in spider as
HANDLER_HAS_DIRECT_AGGREGATE is defined
- Added spd_environ.h to spider. This is loaded first to ensure that all
MariaDB specific defines that are used by include files are properly
defined.
- This code is tested by the existing spider tests direct_aggregate.test
and direct_aggregate_part.test and also partition.test
1. Removing data type specific constants from enum_item_param_state,
adding SHORT_DATA_VALUE instead.
2. Replacing tests for Item_param::state for the removed constants to
tests for Type_handler::cmp_type() against {INT|REAL|TIME|DECIAML}_RESULT.
Deriving Item_param::PValue from Type_handler_hybrid_field_type,
to store the data type handler of the current value of the parameter.
3. Moving Item_param::decimal_value and Item_param::str_value_ptr
to Item_param::PValue. Adding Item_param::PValue::m_string
and changing Item_param to use it to store string values,
instead of Item::str_value. The intent is to replace Item_param::value
to a st_value based implementation in the future, to avoid duplicate code.
Adding a sub-class Item::PValue_simple, to implement
Item_param::PValue::swap() easier.
Remaming Item_basic_value::fix_charset_and_length_from_str_value()
to fix_charset_and_length() and adding the "CHARSET_INFO" pointer
parameter, instead of getting it directly from item->str_value.charset().
Changing Item_param to pass value.m_string.charset() instead
of str_value.charset().
Adding a String argument to the overloaded
fix_charset_and_length_from_str_value() and changing Item_param
to pass value.m_string instead of str_value.
4. Replacing the case in Item_param::save_in_field() to a call
for Type_handler::Item_save_in_field().
5. Adding new methods into Item_param::PValue:
val_real(), val_int(), val_decimal(), val_str().
Changing the corresponding Item_param methods
to use these new Item_param::PValue methods
internally. Adding a helper method
Item_param::can_return_value() and removing
duplicate code in Item_param::val_xxx().
6. Removing value.set_handler() from Item_param::set_conversion()
and Type_handler_xxx::Item_param_set_from_value().
It's now done inside Item_param::set_param_func(),
Item_param::set_value() and Item_param::set_limit_clause_param().
7. Changing Type_handler_int_result::Item_param_set_from_value()
to set max_length using attr->max_length instead of
MY_INT64_NUM_DECIMAL_DIGITS, to preserve the data type
of the assigned expression more precisely.
8. Adding Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::swap(),
using it in Item_param::PValue::swap().
9. Moving the data-type specific code from
Item_param::query_val_str(), Item_param::eq(),
Item_param::clone_item() to
Item_param::value_query_type_str(),
Item_param::value_eq(), Item_param::value_clone_item(),
to split the "state" dependent code and
the data type dependent code.
Later we'll split the data type related code further
and add new methods in Type_handler. This will be done
after we replace Item_param::PValue to st_value.
10. Adding asserts into set_int(), set_double(), set_decimal(),
set_time(), set_str(), set_longdata() to make sure that
the value set to Item_param corresponds to the previously
set data type handler.
11. Adding tests into t/ps.test and suite/binlog/t/binlog_stm_ps.test,
to cover Item_param::print() and Item_param::append_for_log()
for LIMIT clause parameters.
Note, the patch does not change the behavior covered by the new
tests. Adding for better code coverage.
12. Adding tests for more precise integer data type in queries like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 AS SELECT 999999999 AS a,? AS b'
USING 999999999;
The explicit integer literal and the same integer literal
passed as a PS parameter now produce columns of the same data type.
Re-recording old results in ps.result, gis.result, func_hybrid_type.result
accordingly.
- sql_prepare.cc: Moving functions set_param_xxx() as
methods to Item_param
- Replacing a pointer to a function Item_param::set_param_func
to Type_handler based implementation:
Item_param::value now derives from Type_handler_hybrid_field_type.
Adding new virtual methods Type_handler::Item_param_setup_conversion()
and Type_handler::Item_param_set_param_func()
- Moving declaration of some Item_param members from "public:" to "private:"
(CONVERSION_INFO, value, decimal_value)
- Adding a new method Item_param::set_limit_clause_param(),
to share duplicate code, as well as to encapsulate
Item_param::value.
- Adding Item_param::setup_conversion_string() and
Item_param::setup_conversion_blob() to share
the code for binding from a client value
(mysql_stmt_bind_param), and for binding from
an expression (Item).
- Removing two different functions set_param_str_or_null()
and set_param_str(). Adding a common method Item_param::set_param_str().
Item_param::m_empty_string_is_null, used by Item_param::set_param_str().
- Removing the call for setup_one_conversion_function() from
insert_params_from_actual_params_with_log(). It's not needed,
because the call for ps_param->save_in_param() makes sure
to initialized all data type dependent members properly,
by calling setup_conversion_string() from
Type_handler_string_result::Item_param_set_from_value()
and by calling setup_conversion_blob() from
Type_handler_blob_common::Item_param_set_from_value()
- Cleanup: removing multiplication to MY_CHARSET_BIN_MB_MAXLEN
in a few places. It's 1 anyway, and will never change.
TODO:

Item_param::set_value() did not set Item::collation and
Item_param::str_value_ptr.str_charset properly. So both
metadata and data for OUT parameters were sent in a wrong
way to the client.
This patch removes the old implementation of Item_param::set_value()
and rewrites it using Type_handler::Item_param_set_from_value(),
so now setting IN and OUT parameters share the a lot of code.
1. Item_param::set_str() now:
- accepts two additional parameters fromcs, tocs
- sets str_value_ptr, to make sure it's always in sync with str_value,
even without Item_param::convert_str_value()
- does collation.set(tocs, DERIVATION_COERCIBLE),
to make sure that DTCollation is valid even without
Item_param::convert_str_value()
2. Item_param::set_value(), which is used to set OUT parameters,
now reuses Type_handler::Item_param_set_from_value().
3. Cleanup: moving Item_param::str_value_ptr to private,
as it's not needed outside.
4. Cleanup: adding a new virtual method
Settable_routine_parameter::get_item_param()
and using it a few new DBUG_ASSERTs, where
Item_param cannot appear.
After this change:
1. Assigning of IN parameters works as before:
a. Item_param::set_str() is called and sets the value as a binary string
b. The original value is sent to the query used for binary/general logging
c. Item_param::convert_str_value() converts the value from the client
character set to the connection character set
2. Assigning of OUT parameters works in the new way:
a. Item_param::set_str() and sets the value
using the source Item's collation, so both Item::collation
and Item_param::str_value_ptr.str_charset are properly set.
b. Protocol_binary::send_out_parameters() sends the
value to the client correctly:
- Protocol::send_result_set_metadata() uses Item::collation.collation
(which is now properly set), to detect if conversion is needed,
and sends a correct collation ID.
- Protocol::send_result_set_row() calls Type_handler::Item_send_str(),
which uses Item_param::str_value_ptr.str_charset
(which is now properly set) to actually perform the conversion.
Issue:
------
VALUES doesn't have a type() function and is considered a
Item_field.
Solution for 5.7:
-----------------
Add a new type() function for Item_values_insert.
On 8.0 and trunk it was fixed by Mithun's Bug#19601973.
Solution for 5.6:
-----------------
Additionally Bug#17458914 is backported.
This will address the problem of using VALUES() in
INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE. Create a field object
only if it is in the UPDATE clause, else return a NULL
item.
This will also address the problems mentioned in
Bug#14789787 and Bug#16756402.
Solution for 5.5:
-----------------
As mentioned above Bug#17458914 is backported.
Additionally Bug#14786324 is also backported.
When VALUES() is detected outside its meaningful place,
it should be treated as NULL and is thus replaced with a
Field_null object, with the same name as the original
field.
Fields with type NULL are generally not handled well inside
the server (e.g Innodb will not accept them and it is
impossible to create them in regular tables). So create a
new const NULL item instead.
Make differentiation between pullout for merge and pulout of outer field during exists2in transformation.
In last case the field was outer and so we can safely start from name resolution context of the SELECT where it was pulled.
Old behavior lead to inconsistence between list of tables and outer name resolution context (which skips one SELECT for merge purposes) which creates problem vor name resolution.
As a result of this merge the code for the following tasks appears in 10.3:
- MDEV-12172 Implement tables specified by table value constructors
- MDEV-12176 Transform [NOT] IN predicate with long list of values INTO
[NOT] IN subquery.
Side effect: the second debug Note in cache_temporal_4265.result disappeared.
Before this change:
- During JOIN::cache_const_exprs(),
Item::get_cache() for Item_date_add_interval() was called.
The data type for date_add('2001-01-01',interval 5 day) is VARCHAR,
because the first argument is VARCHAR (not temporal).
Item_get_cache() created Item_cache_str('2001-01-06').
- During evaluate_join_record(), get_datetime_value() was called,
which called Item::get_date() for Item_cache_str('2001-01-06').
This gave the second Note. Then, get_datetime_value() created
a new cache, now Item_cache_temporal for '2001-01-06', so not
further str_to_datetime() happened.
After this change:
- During tem_bool_rowready_func2::fix_length_and_dec(),
Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func_datetime() is called,
which immediately creates an instance of Item_cache_date for
the result of date_add('2001-01-01',interval 5 day).
So later no str_to_datetime happens any more,
neither during JOIN::cache_const_exprs(),
nor during evaluate_join_record().
- Renaming sp_rcontext::sp to sp_rcontext:m_sp for consistency
with other sp_rcontext_members, and for consistency with the
same purpose member Item_sp_variable::m_sp.
- Passing a "const sp_head*" pointer to sp_rcontext::sp_rcontext()
and to sp_rcontext::create().
Initializing sp_rcontext::m_sp right in the constructor
instead of having a separate initialization after "new sp_rcontext"
or sp_rcontext::create().
- Adding the "const" qualifier to sp_rcontext::m_sp and Item_sp_variable::m_sp
Some innobase/xtrabackup changes around from 10.1 are null merged
, in partucular using os_set_file_size to extend tablespaces in server
or mariabackup.
They require non-trivial amount of additional work in 10.2, due to
innobase differences between 10.1 and 10.2
Fixing the data type for the "fuzzydate" parameter to
Item_func_hybrid_field_type::date_op() from uint to ulonglong,
for consistency with Item::get_date().
Changing datatypes for:
- Item_spvar_args::m_table
- sp_rcontext::m_var_table
- return value of create_virtual_tmp_table()
from TABLE* to Virtual_tmp_table*
Advantages:
- Stricter data type control
- Removing the duplicate code (a loop with free_blobs)
from destructors ~sp_rcontext() and ~Item_spvar_args(),
using "delete m_(var_)table" in both instead.
- Using Virtual_tmp_table::delete makes the code call Field::delete,
which calls TRASH() for the freed fields,
which is good for valgrind test runs.
- Implementing stricter data type control for Item_long_func descendants
- Cleanup: renaming Type_handler::can_return_str_ascii() to can_return_text()
(a better name).
- Fix win64 pointer truncation warnings
(usually coming from misusing 0x%lx and long cast in DBUG)
- Also fix printf-format warnings
Make the above mentioned warnings fatal.
- fix pthread_join on Windows to set return value.
This should also fix the MariaDB 10.2.2 bug
MDEV-13826 CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX on encrypted table fails.
MDEV-12634 FIXME: Modify innodb-index-online, innodb-table-online
so that they will write and read merge sort files. InnoDB 5.7
introduced some optimizations to avoid using the files for small tables.
Many collation test results have been adjusted for MDEV-10191.
The problem was introduced by the patch for MDEV-7661,
which (in addition to the fix itself) included an attempt to make
CONVERT/CAST work in the same way with fields
(i.e. return NULL in strict mode if a non-convertable character found).
It appeared to be a bad idea and some users were affected by this
behavior change. Changing CONVERT/CAST not depend on sql_mode
(restoring pre-10.1.4 behavior).
COL), NAME_CONST('NAME', NULL))
Backport of Bug#19143243 fix.
NAME_CONST item can return NULL_ITEM type in case of incorrect arguments.
NULL_ITEM has special processing in Item_func_in function.
In Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec an array of possible comparators is
created. Since NAME_CONST function has NULL_ITEM type, corresponding
array element is empty. Then NAME_CONST is wrapped to ITEM_CACHE.
ITEM_CACHE can not return proper type(NULL_ITEM) in Item_func_in::val_int(),
so the NULL_ITEM is attempted compared with an empty comparator.
The fix is to disable the caching of Item_name_const item.
If compiling a non DBUG binary with
-DDBUG_ASSERT_AS_PRINTF asserts will be
changed to printf + stack trace (of stack
trace are enabled).
- Changed #ifndef DBUG_OFF to
#ifdef DBUG_ASSERT_EXISTS
for those DBUG_OFF that was just used to enable
assert
- Assert checking that could greatly impact
performance where changed to DBUG_ASSERT_SLOW which
is not affected by DBUG_ASSERT_AS_PRINTF
- Added one extra option to my_print_stacktrace() to
get more silent in case of stack trace printing as
part of assert.
"Optimization for equi-joins of derived tables with GROUP BY"
should be considered rather as a 'proof of concept'.
The task itself is targeted at an optimization that employs re-writing
equi-joins with grouping derived tables / views into lateral
derived tables. Here's an example of such transformation:
select t1.a,t.max,t.min
from t1 [left] join
(select a, max(t2.b) max, min(t2.b) min from t2
group by t2.a) as t
on t1.a=t.a;
=>
select t1.a,tl.max,tl.min
from t1 [left] join
lateral (select a, max(t2.b) max, min(t2.b) min from t2
where t1.a=t2.a) as t
on 1=1;
The transformation pushes the equi-join condition t1.a=t.a into the
derived table making it dependent on table t1. It means that for
every row from t1 a new derived table must be filled out. However
the size of any of these derived tables is just a fraction of the
original derived table t. One could say that transformation 'splits'
the rows used for the GROUP BY operation into separate groups
performing aggregation for a group only in the case when there is
a match for the current row of t1.
Apparently the transformation may produce a query with a better
performance only in the case when
- the GROUP BY list refers only to fields returned by the derived table
- there is an index I on one of the tables T used in FROM list of
the specification of the derived table whose prefix covers the
the fields from the proper beginning of the GROUP BY list or
fields that are equal to those fields.
Whether the result of the re-writing can be executed faster depends
on many factors:
- the size of the original derived table
- the size of the table T
- whether the index I is clustering for table T
- whether the index I fully covers the GROUP BY list.
This patch only tries to improve the chosen execution plan using
this transformation. It tries to do it only when the chosen
plan reaches the derived table by a key whose prefix covers
all the fields of the derived table produced by the fields of
the table T from the GROUP BY list.
The code of the patch does not evaluates the cost of the improved
plan. If certain conditions are met the transformation is applied.
This patch fills in a serious flaw in the
code that supports condition pushdown into
materialized views / derived tables.
If a predicate happened to contain a reference
to a mergeable view / derived table and it does
not depended directly on the target materialized
view / derived table then the predicate was not
considered as a subject to pusdown to this view
/ derived table.
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.
The problem lies in how CURRENT_ROLE is defined. The
Item_func_current_role inherits from Item_func_sysconst, which defines
a safe_charset_converter to be a const_charset_converter.
During view creation, if there is no role previously set, the current_role()
function returns NULL.
This is captured on item instantiation and the
const_charset_converter call subsequently returns an Item_null.
In turn, the function is replaced with Item_null and the view is
then created with an Item_null instead of Item_func_current_role.
Without this patch, the first SHOW CREATE VIEW from the testcase would
have a where clause of WHERE role_name = NULL, while the second SHOW
CREATE VIEW would show a correctly created view.
The same applies for the DATABASE function, as it can change as well.
There is an additional problem with CURRENT_ROLE() when used in a
prepared statement. During prepared statement creation we used to set
the string_value of the function to the current role as well as the
null_value flag. During execution, if CURRENT_ROLE was not null, the
null_value flag was never set to not-null during fix_fields.
Item_func_current_user however can never be NULL so it did not show this
problem in a view before. At the same time, the CURRENT_USER() can not
be changed between prepared statement execution and creation so the
implementation where the value is stored during fix_fields is
sufficient.
Note also that DATABASE() function behaves differently during prepared
statements. See bug 25843 for details or commit
7e0ad09edf
