but not collation.
The problem here was that text literals in a view were always
dumped with character set introducer. That lead to loosing
collation information.
The fix is to dump character set introducer only if it was
in the original query. That is now possible because there
is no problem any more of loss of character set of string
literals in views -- after WL#4052 the view is dumped
in the original character set.
value when inserting into a view.
The mysql_prepare_insert function checks all fields of the target table that
directly or indirectly (through a view) are specified in the INSERT
statement to have a default value. This check can be skipped if the INSERT
statement doesn't mention any insert fields. In case of a view this allows
fields that aren't mentioned in the view to bypass the check.
Now fields of the target table are always checked to have a default value
when insert goes into a view.
The following clarification should be made in The Manual:
Standard SQL is quite clear that, if new columns are added
to a table after a view on that table is created with
"select *", the new columns will not become part of the view.
In all cases, the view definition (view structure) is frozen
at CREATE time, so changes to the underlying tables do not
affect the view structure.
When storing the VIEW the CREATE VIEW command is reconstructed
from the parse tree. While constructing the command string
the index hints specified should also be printed.
Fixed by adding code to print the index hints when printing a
table in the FROM clause.
information schema table.
The get_schema_views_record() function fills records in the view table of
the informations schema with data about given views. Among other info
the is_updatable flag is set. But the check whether the view is updatable or
not wasn't covering all cases thus sometimes providing wrong info.
This might led to a user confusion.
Now the get_schema_views_record function additionally calls to the
view->can_be_merge() function to find out whether the view can be updated or
not.
This bug may manifest itself for select queries over a multi-table view
that includes an ORDER BY clause in its definition. If the select list of
the query contains references to the same view column with different
aliases the names of the columns in the result output will be nevertheless
the same, coinciding with one of the alias.
The bug happened because the method Item_ref::get_tmp_table_item that
was inherited by the class Item_direct_view_ref ignored the fact that
the name of the view column reference must be inherited by the fields
of the temporary table that was created in order to get the result rows
sorted.
- BUG#11986: Stored routines and triggers can fail if the code
has a non-ascii symbol
- BUG#16291: mysqldump corrupts string-constants with non-ascii-chars
- BUG#19443: INFORMATION_SCHEMA does not support charsets properly
- BUG#21249: Character set of SP-var can be ignored
- BUG#25212: Character set of string constant is ignored (stored routines)
- BUG#25221: Character set of string constant is ignored (triggers)
There were a few general problems that caused these bugs:
1. Character set information of the original (definition) query for views,
triggers, stored routines and events was lost.
2. mysqldump output query in client character set, which can be
inappropriate to encode definition-query.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA used strings with mixed encodings to display object
definition;
1. No query-definition-character set.
In order to compile query into execution code, some extra data (such as
environment variables or the database character set) is used. The problem
here was that this context was not preserved. So, on the next load it can
differ from the original one, thus the result will be different.
The context contains the following data:
- client character set;
- connection collation (character set and collation);
- collation of the owner database;
The fix is to store this context and use it each time we parse (compile)
and execute the object (stored routine, trigger, ...).
2. Wrong mysqldump-output.
The original query can contain several encodings (by means of character set
introducers). The problem here was that we tried to convert original query
to the mysqldump-client character set.
Moreover, we stored queries in different character sets for different
objects (views, for one, used UTF8, triggers used original character set).
The solution is
- to store definition queries in the original character set;
- to change SHOW CREATE statement to output definition query in the
binary character set (i.e. without any conversion);
- introduce SHOW CREATE TRIGGER statement;
- to dump special statements to switch the context to the original one
before dumping and restore it afterwards.
Note, in order to preserve the database collation at the creation time,
additional ALTER DATABASE might be used (to temporary switch the database
collation back to the original value). In this case, ALTER DATABASE
privilege will be required. This is a backward-incompatible change.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA showed non-UTF8 strings
The fix is to generate UTF8-query during the parsing, store it in the object
and show it in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
Basically, the idea is to create a copy of the original query convert it to
UTF8. Character set introducers are removed and all text literals are
converted to UTF8.
This UTF8 query is intended to provide user-readable output. It must not be
used to recreate the object. Specialized SHOW CREATE statements should be
used for this.
The reason for this limitation is the following: the original query can
contain symbols from several character sets (by means of character set
introducers).
Example:
- original query:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT _cp1251 'Hello' AS c1;
- UTF8 query (for INFORMATION_SCHEMA):
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT 'Hello' AS c1;
The abort happened when a query contained a conjunctive predicate
of the form 'view column = constant' in the WHERE condition and
the grouping list also contained a reference to a view column yet
a different one.
Removed the failing assertion as invalid in a general case.
Also fixed a bug that prevented applying some optimization for grouping
queries using views. If the WHERE condition of such a query contains
a conjunctive condition of the form 'view column = constant' and
this view column is used in the grouping list then grouping by this
column can be eliminated. The bug blocked performing this elimination.
SHOW CREATE TABLE fails
Underlying table names, that merge engine fails to open were not
reported.
With this fix CHECK TABLE issued against merge table reports all
underlying table names that it fails to open. Other statements
are unaffected, that is underlying table names are not included
into error message.
This fix doesn't solve SHOW CREATE TABLE issue.
ON conditions from JOIN expression were ignored at CHECK OPTION
check when updating a multi-table view with CHECK OPTION.
The st_table_list::prep_check_option function has been
modified to to take into account ON conditions at CHECK OPTION check
It was also changed to build the check option condition only once
for any update used in PS/SP.
The result of the CHECK OPTION condition evaluation over an
updated record and records of merged tables was arbitrary and
dependant on the order of records in the merged tables during
the execution of SELECT statement.
The CHECK OPTION expression was evaluated over expired record
buffers (with arbitrary data in the fields).
Rowids of tables used in the CHECK OPTION expression were
added to temporary table rows. The multi_update::do_updates()
method was modified to restore necessary record buffers
before evaluation of the CHECK OPTION condition.
Integer values with 10 digits may or may not fit into an int column
(e.g. 2147483647 vs 6147483647).
Thus when creating a temp table column for such an int we must
use bigint instead.
Fixed to use bigint.
Also subsituted a "magic number" with a named constant.
CHECK OPTION and a subquery in WHERE condition.
The abort was triggered by setting the value of join->tables for
subqueries in the function JOIN::cleanup. This function was called
after an invocation of the JOIN::join_free method for subqueries
used in WHERE condition.
- added join cache indication in EXPLAIN (Extra column).
- prefer filesort over full scan over
index for ORDER BY (because it's faster).
- when switching from REF to RANGE because
RANGE uses longer key turn off sort on
the head table only as the resulting
RANGE access is a candidate for join cache
and we don't want to disable it by sorting
on the first table only.
When merging views into the enclosing statement
the ORDER BY clause of the view is merged to the
parent's ORDER BY clause.
However when the VIEW is merged into an UNION
branch the ORDER BY should be ignored.
Use of ORDER BY for individual SELECT statements
implies nothing about the order in which the rows
appear in the final result because UNION by default
produces unordered set of rows.
Fixed by ignoring the ORDER BY clause from the merge
view when expanded in an UNION branch.
