Syntax for CONVERT TABLE
ALTER TABLE tbl_name CONVERT TABLE tbl_name TO PARTITION partition_name partition_spec
Examples:
ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TABLE tp2 TO PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN MAX_VALUE();
New ALTER_PARTITION_CONVERT_IN command for
fast_alter_partition_table() is done in alter_partition_convert_in()
function which basically does ha_rename_table().
Table structure and data check is basically the same as in EXCHANGE
PARTITION command. And these are done by
compare_table_with_partition() and check_table_data().
Atomic DDL is done by the scheme from MDEV-22166 (see the
corresponding commit message). The only differnce is that it also has
to drop source table frm and that is done by WFRM_DROP_CONVERTED_FROM.
Initial patch was done by Dmitry Shulga <dmitry.shulga@mariadb.com>
Syntax for CONVERT keyword
ALTER TABLE tbl_name
[alter_option [, alter_option] ...] |
[partition_options]
partition_option: {
...
| CONVERT PARTITION partition_name TO TABLE tbl_name
}
Examples:
ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT PARTITION p2 TO TABLE tp2;
New ALTER_PARTITION_CONVERT_OUT command for
fast_alter_partition_table() is done in alter_partition_convert_out()
function which basically does ha_rename_table().
Partition to extract is marked with the same flag as dropped
partition: PART_TO_BE_DROPPED. Note that we cannot have multiple
partitioning commands in one ALTER.
For DDL logging basically the principle is the same as for other
fast_alter_partition_table() commands. The only difference is that it
integrates late Atomic DDL functions and introduces additional phase
of WFRM_BACKUP_ORIGINAL. That is required for binlog consistency
because otherwise we could not revert back after WFRM_INSTALL_SHADOW
is done. And before DDL log is complete if we crash or fail the
altered table will be already new but binlog will miss that ALTER
command. Note that this is different from all other atomic DDL in that
it rolls back until the ddl_log_complete() is done even if everything
was done fully before the crash.
Test cases added to:
parts.alter_table \
parts.partition_debug \
versioning.partition \
atomic.alter_partition
The old code to print partition values was too complicated:
- it created new Items for character set conversion purposes.
- it mixed string conversion and partition error reporting
in the same code blocks.
Simplifying the code as follows:
- Adding helper methods String::can_be_safely_convert_to() and
String::append_introducer_and_hex().
- Adding DBUG_EXECUTE_IF("generate_partition_syntax_for_frm", push_warning...)
into generate_partition_syntax_for_frm(), to test the PARTITON
clause written to FRM. Adding test partition_utf8-debug.test for this.
- Removing functions get_cs_converted_part_value_from_string() and
get_cs_converted_string_value. Changing get_partition_column_description()
to use Type_handler::partition_field_append_value() instead.
This makes SHOW CREATE TABLE and SELECT FROM I_S.PARTITIONS
use the same code path.
- Changing Type_handler::partition_field_append_value() not to
call convert_charset_partition_constant(), to avoid creating a new Item
for string conversion pursposes.
Rewritting the code to use only String methods.
- Removing error reporting code (ER_PARTITION_FUNCTION_IS_NOT_ALLOWED)
from Type_handler::partition_field_append_value().
The error is correctly detected and reported on the caller level.
So error reporting was redundant here.
Also:
- Moving methods Type_handler::partition_field_*() from sql_partition.cc
to sql_type.cc. This fixes compilation problem with -DPLUGIN_PARTITION=NO,
earlier introduced by the patch for MDEV-20831.
As thd->alloc() and new automatically calls my_error(ER_OUTOFMEORY)
there is no reason to call mem_alloc_error()
Other things:
- Fixed bug in mysql_unpack_partition() where lex.part_info was
changed even if it would be a null pointer
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
Analysis
========
CREATE TABLE of InnoDB table with a partition name
which exceeds the path limit can cause the server
to exit.
During the preparation of the partition name,
there was no check to identify whether the complete
path name for partition exceeds the max supported
path length, causing the server to exit during
subsequent processing.
Fix
===
During the preparation of partition name, check and report
an error if the partition path name exceeds the maximum path
name limit.
This is a 5.5 patch.
Don't write to a temporary file, use String.
Remove strange one-liner "helpers", use String methods.
Don't use current_thd, don't allocate memory for 1-byte strings, etc.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
This was done to make it clear that a update_row() should not change the
row.
This was not done for handler::write_row() as this function still needs
to update auto_increment values in the row. This should at some point
be moved to handler::ha_write_row() after which write_row can also have
const arguments.
The following left in semi-improved state to keep patch size reasonable:
- Field operator new: left thd_alloc(current_thd)
- Sql_alloc operator new: left thd_alloc(thd_get_current_thd())
- Item_args constructors: left thd_alloc(thd)
- Item_func_interval::fix_length_and_dec(): no THD arg, have to call current_thd
- Item_func_dyncol_exists::val_int(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_str(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_int(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_real(): same
- Item_dyncol_get::val_decimal(): same
- Item_singlerow_subselect::fix_length_and_dec(): same

Bug#16589511: MYSQL_UPGRADE FAILS TO WRITE OUT ENTIRE ALTER TABLE ... ALGORITHM= ... STATEMENT
Bug#16274455: CAN NOT ACESS PARTITIONED TABLES WHEN DOWNGRADED FROM 5.6.11 TO 5.6.10
plus minor changes from 5.6, mainly comments
includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
DOWNGRADED FROM 5.6.11 TO 5.6.10
Problem was new syntax not accepted by previous version.
Fixed by adding version comment of /*!50531 around the
new syntax.
Like this in the .frm file:
'PARTITION BY KEY /*!50611 ALGORITHM = 2 */ () PARTITIONS 3'
and also changing the output from SHOW CREATE TABLE to:
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT)
/*!50100 PARTITION BY KEY */ /*!50611 ALGORITHM = 1 */ /*!50100 ()
PARTITIONS 3 */
It will always add the ALGORITHM into the .frm for KEY [sub]partitioned
tables, but for SHOW CREATE TABLE it will only add it in case it is the non
default ALGORITHM = 1.
Also notice that for 5.5, it will say /*!50531 instead of /*!50611, which
will make upgrade from 5.5 > 5.5.31 to 5.6 < 5.6.11 fail!
If one downgrades an fixed version to the same major version (5.5 or 5.6) the
bug 14521864 will be visible again, but unless the .frm is updated, it will
work again when upgrading again.
Also fixed so that the .frm does not get updated version
if a single partition check passes.

ALTER TABLE AFTER DROP PARTITION
Bug#13608188 - 64038: CRASH IN HANDLER::HA_THD ON ALTER TABLE AFTER
REPAIR NON-EXISTING PARTITION
Backport of bug#13357766 from -trunk to -5.5.
The state of some partitions was not reset on failure, leading
to invalid states of partitions in consequent statements.
Fixed by reverting back to original state for all partitions
if not all partition names was resolved.
Also adding extra security by forcing tables to be reopened
in case of error in mysql_alter_table.
(There is also removal of \r at the end of some lines.)
