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.
SHOW CREATE TABLE or SELECT FROM I_S.
Actually, the bug discovers two problems:
- the original query is not preserved properly. This is the problem
of BUG#16291;
- the resultset of SHOW CREATE TABLE statement is binary.
This patch fixes the second problem for the 5.0.
Both problems will be fixed in 5.1.
For a join query with GROUP BY and/or ORDER BY and a view reference
in the FROM list the metadata erroneously showed empty table aliases
and database names for the view columns.
Coding style: classes start with a capital letter.
Rename some classes related to parsing:
create_field -> Create_field
foreign_key -> Foreign_key
key_part_spec -> Key_part_spec
This bug was introduced by the fix for the bug#27300. In this fix a section
of code was added to the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method.
This section intended to create Field_geom fields for the Item_geometry_func
class and its descendants. In order to get the geometry type of the current
item it casted "this" to the Item_geometry_func* type. But the
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method is also used for creation of
fields for UNION and in this case this method is called for an object of the
Item_type_holder class and the cast to the Item_geometry_func* type causes
a server crash.
Now the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method correctly works when it's
called for both the Item_type_holder and the Item_geometry_func classes.
The new geometry_type variable is added to the Item_type_holder class.
The new method called get_geometry_type is added to the Item_field
and the Field classes. It returns geometry type from the field for the
Item_field and the Field_geom classes and fails an assert for other Field
descendants.
Problem: we may get syntactically incorrect queries in the binary log
if we use a string value user variable executing a PS which
contains '... limit ?' clause, e.g.
prepare s from "select 1 limit ?";
set @a='qwe'; execute s using @a;
Fix: raise an error in such cases.
Made year 2000 handling more uniform
Removed year 2000 handling out from calc_days()
The above removes some bugs in date/datetimes with year between 0 and 200
Now we get a note when we insert a datetime value into a date column
For default values to CREATE, don't give errors for warning level NOTE
Fixed some compiler failures
Added library ws2_32 for windows compilation (needed if we want to compile with IOCP support)
Removed duplicate typedef TIME and replaced it with MYSQL_TIME
Better (more complete) fix for: Bug#21103 "DATE column not compared as DATE"
Fixed properly Bug#18997 "DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB perform year2K autoconversion magic on 4-digit year value"
Fixed Bug#23093 "Implicit conversion of 9912101 to date does not match cast(9912101 as date)"
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
The LEAST/GREATEST functions compared DATE/DATETIME values as
strings which in some cases could lead to a wrong result.
A new member function called cmp_datetimes() is added to the
Item_func_min_max class. It compares arguments in DATETIME context
and returns index of the least/greatest argument.
The Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() function now detects when
arguments should be compared in DATETIME context and sets the newly
added flag compare_as_dates. It indicates that the cmp_datetimes() function
should be called to get a correct result.
Item_func_min_max::val_xxx() methods are corrected to call the
cmp_datetimes() function when needed.
Objects of the Item_splocal class now stores and reports correct original
field type.
DATE and DATETIME can be compared either as strings or as int. Both
methods have their disadvantages. Strings can contain valid DATETIME value
but have insignificant zeros omitted thus became non-comparable with
other DATETIME strings. The comparison as int usually will require conversion
from the string representation and the automatic conversion in most cases is
carried out in a wrong way thus producing wrong comparison result. Another
problem occurs when one tries to compare DATE field with a DATETIME constant.
The constant is converted to DATE losing its precision i.e. losing time part.
This fix addresses the problems described above by adding a special
DATE/DATETIME comparator. The comparator correctly converts DATE/DATETIME
string values to int when it's necessary, adds zero time part (00:00:00)
to DATE values to compare them correctly to DATETIME values. Due to correct
conversion malformed DATETIME string values are correctly compared to other
DATE/DATETIME values.
As of this patch a DATE value equals to DATETIME value with zero time part.
For example '2001-01-01' equals to '2001-01-01 00:00:00'.
The compare_datetime() function is added to the Arg_comparator class.
It implements the correct comparator for DATE/DATETIME values.
Two supplementary functions called get_date_from_str() and get_datetime_value()
are added. The first one extracts DATE/DATETIME value from a string and the
second one retrieves the correct DATE/DATETIME value from an item.
The new Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates() function is added and used
to check whether two given items can be compared by the compare_datetime()
comparator.
Two caching variables were added to the Arg_comparator class to speedup the
DATE/DATETIME comparison.
One more store() method was added to the Item_cache_int class to cache int
values.
The new is_datetime() function was added to the Item class. It indicates
whether the item returns a DATE/DATETIME value.
The Item_outer_ref class based on the Item_direct_ref class was always used
to represent an outer field. But if the outer select is a grouping one and the
outer field isn't under an aggregate function which is aggregated in that
outer select an Item_ref object should be used to represent such a field.
If the outer select in which the outer field is resolved isn't grouping then
the Item_field class should be used to represent such a field.
This logic also should be used for an outer field resolved through its alias
name.
Now the Item_field::fix_outer_field() uses Item_outer_field objects to
represent aliased and non-aliased outer fields for grouping outer selects
only.
Now the fix_inner_refs() function chooses which class to use to access outer
field - the Item_ref or the Item_direct_ref. An object of the chosen class
substitutes the original field in the Item_outer_ref object.
The direct_ref and the found_in_select_list fields were added to the
Item_outer_ref class.
This may lead to buffer overflow.
The String::qs_append() function will append a string
without checking if there's enough space.
So qs_append() must be called beforehand to ensure
there's enough space in the buffer for the subsequent
qs_append() calls.
Fixed Item_case_expr::print() to make sure there's
enough space before appending data by adding a call to
String::reserve() to make sure qs_append() will have
enough space.
Made year 2000 handling more uniform
Removed year 2000 handling out from calc_days()
The above removes some bugs in date/datetimes with year between 0 and 200
Now we get a note when we insert a datetime value into a date column
For default values to CREATE, don't give errors for warning level NOTE
Fixed some compiler failures
Added library ws2_32 for windows compilation (needed if we want to compile with IOCP support)
Removed duplicate typedef TIME and replaced it with MYSQL_TIME
Better (more complete) fix for: Bug#21103 "DATE column not compared as DATE"
Fixed properly Bug#18997 "DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB perform year2K autoconversion magic on 4-digit year value"
Fixed Bug#23093 "Implicit conversion of 9912101 to date does not match cast(9912101 as date)"
To correctly decide which predicates can be evaluated with a given table
the optimizer must know the exact set of tables that a predicate depends
on. If that mask is too wide (refer to non-existing tables) the optimizer
can erroneously skip a predicate.
One such case of wrong table usage mask were the aggregate functions.
The have a all-1 mask (meaning depend on all tables, including non-existent
ones).
Fixed by making a real used_tables mask for the aggregates. The mask is
constructed in the following way :
1. OR the table dependency masks of all the arguments of the aggregate.
2. If all the arguments of the function are from the local name resolution
context and it is evaluated in the same name resolution
context where it is referenced all the tables from that name resolution
context are OR-ed to the dependency mask. This is to denote that an
aggregate function depends on the number of rows it processes.
3. Handle correctly the case of an aggregate function optimization (such that
the aggregate function can be pre-calculated and made a constant).
Made sure that an aggregate function is never a constant (unless subject of a
specific optimization and pre-calculation).
One other flaw was revealed and fixed in the process : references were
not calling the recalculation method for used_tables of their targets.
when the column is to be read from a derived table column which
was specified as a concatenation of string literals.
The bug happened because the Item_string::append did not adjust the
value of Item_string::max_length. As a result of it the temporary
table column defined to store the concatenation of literals was
not wide enough to hold the whole value.
The flag alias_name_used was not set on for the outer references
in subqueries. It resulted in replacement of any outer reference
resolved against an alias for a full field name when the frm
representation of a view with a subquery was generated.
If the subquery and the outer query referenced the same table in
their from lists this replacement effectively changed the meaning
of the view and led to wrong results for selects from this view.
Modified several functions to ensure setting the right value of
the alias_name_used flag for outer references resolved against
aliases.
Several problems here :
1. The conversion to double of an hex string const item
was not taking into account the unsigned flag.
2. IN was not behaving in the same was way as comparisons
when performed over an INT/DATE/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP column
and a constant. The ordinary comparisons in that case
convert the constant to an INTEGER value and do int
comparisons. Fixed the IN to do the same.
3. IN is not taking into account the unsigned flag when
calculating <expr> IN (<int_const1>, <int_const2>, ...).
Extended the implementation of IN to store and process
the unsigned flag for its arguments.
created for sorting.
Any outer reference in a subquery was represented by an Item_field object.
If the outer select employs a temporary table all such fields should be
replaced with fields from that temporary table in order to point to the
actual data. This replacement wasn't done and that resulted in a wrong
subquery evaluation and a wrong result of the whole query.
Now any outer field is represented by two objects - Item_field placed in the
outer select and Item_outer_ref in the subquery. Item_field object is
processed as a normal field and the reference to it is saved in the
ref_pointer_array. Thus the Item_outer_ref is always references the correct
field. The original field is substituted for a reference in the
Item_field::fix_outer_field() function.
New function called fix_inner_refs() is added to fix fields referenced from
inner selects and to fix references (Item_ref objects) to these fields.
The new Item_outer_ref class is a descendant of the Item_direct_ref class.
It additionally stores a reference to the original field and designed to
behave more like a field.
Several problems fixed:
1. There was a "catch-all" context initialization in setup_tables()
that was causing the table that we insert into to be visible in the
SELECT part of an INSERT .. SELECT .. statement with no tables in
its FROM clause. This was making sure all the under-initialized
contexts in various parts of the code are not left uninitialized.
Fixed by removing the "catch-all" statement and initializing the
context in the parser.
2. Incomplete name resolution context when resolving the right-hand
values in the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ... part of an INSERT ... SELECT ...
caused columns from NATURAL JOIN/JOIN USING table references in the
FROM clause of the select to be unavailable.
Fixed by establishing a proper name resolution context.
3. When setting up the special name resolution context for problem 2
there was no check for cases where an aggregate function without a
GROUP BY effectively takes the column from the SELECT part of an
INSERT ... SELECT unavailable for ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
Fixed by checking for that condition when setting up the name
resolution context.
UPDATE contains wrong data if the SELECT employs a temporary table.
If the UPDATE values of the INSERT .. SELECT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
statement contains fields from the SELECT part and the select employs a
temporary table then those fields will contain wrong values because they
aren't corrected to get data from the temporary table.
The solution is to add these fields to the selects all_fields list,
to store pointers to those fields in the selects ref_pointer_array and
to access them via Item_ref objects.
The substitution for Item_ref objects is done in the new function called
Item_field::update_value_transformer(). It is called through the
item->transform() mechanism at the end of the select_insert::prepare()
function.
The bug report has demonstrated the following two problems.
1. If an ORDER/GROUP BY list includes a constant expression being
optimized away and, at the same time, containing single-row
subselects that return more that one row, no error is reported.
Strictly speaking the standard allows to ignore error in this case.
Yet, now a corresponding fatal error is reported in this case.
2. If a query requires sorting by expressions containing single-row
subselects that, however, return more than one row, then the execution
of the query may cause a server crash.
To fix this some code has been added that blocks execution of a subselect
item in case of a fatal error in the method Item_subselect::exec.
on duplicate key".
INSERT ... SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE which was used in
stored routine or as prepared statement and which in its ON DUPLICATE
KEY clause erroneously tried to assign value to a column mentioned only
in its SELECT part was properly emitting error on the first execution
but succeeded on the second and following executions.
Code which is responsible for name resolution of fields mentioned in
UPDATE clause (e.g. see select_insert::prepare()) modifies table list
and Name_resolution_context used in this process. It uses
Name_resolution_context_state::save_state/restore_state() to revert
these modifications. Unfortunately those two methods failed to revert
properly modifications to TABLE_LIST::next_name_resolution_table
and this broke name resolution process for successive executions.
This patch fixes Name_resolution_context_state::save_state/restore_state()
in such way that it properly handles TABLE_LIST::next_name_resolution_table.
in a select list.
The objects of the Item_trigger_field class inherited the implementations
of the methods copy_or_same, get_tmp_table_item and get_tmp_table_field
from the class Item_field while they rather should have used the default
implementations defined for the base class Item.
It could cause catastrophic problems for triggers that used SELECTs
with select list containing trigger fields such as NEW.<table column>
under DISTINCT.
According to some internal communication, these two functions are place
holders for future enhancements. Because they use a variable number of
parameters, the implementation defined a reserved keyword for them in the
parser grammar.
Unfortunately, doing so creates a bug similar to Bug 21114 reported for the
function FORMAT.
In the 5.1 code base, due to improvements in the code implemented with bug
21114, having a reserved keyword for functions with a variable number of
arguments is not needed any more by the implementation.
As a result, this fix removes the place-holder implementation, and removes
the unnecessary reserved keywords. Should the functions UNIQUE_USERS and
GROUP_UNIQUE_USERS be finally implemented in a later release, the
implementation should sub class Create_native_func in sql/item_create.cc.
For example, see the class Create_func_concat.
Currently in the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode no hidden fields are allowed in the
select list. To ensure this each expression in the select list is checked
to be a constant, an aggregate function or to occur in the GROUP BY list.
The last two requirements are wrong and doesn't allow valid expressions like
"MAX(b) - MIN(b)" or "a + 1" in a query with grouping by a.
The correct check implemented by the patch will ensure that:
any field reference in the [sub]expressions of the select list
is under an aggregate function or
is mentioned as member of the group list or
is an outer reference or
is part of the select list element that coincide with a grouping element.
The Item_field objects now can contain the position of the select list
expression which they belong to. The position is saved during the
field's Item_field::fix_fields() call.
The non_agg_fields list for non-aggregated fields is added to the SELECT_LEX
class. The SELECT_LEX::cur_pos_in_select_list now contains the position in the
select list of the expression being currently fixed.

We use val_int() calls (followed by null_value check) to determine
nullness in some Item_sum_count' and Item_sum_count_distinct' methods,
as a side effect we get extra warnings raised in the val_int().
Fix: use is_null() instead.
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
When implicitly converting string fields to numbers the
string-to-number conversion error was not sent to the client.
Added code to send the conversion error as warning.
We also need to prevent generation of warnings from the places
where val_xxx() methods are called for the sole purpose of updating
the Item::null_value flag.
To achieve that a special function is added (and called) :
update_null_value(). This function will set the no_errors flag and
will call val_xxx(). The warning generation in Field_string::val_xxx()
will use the flag when generating the conversion warnings.
The problem was that any VIEW columns had always implicit derivation.
Fix: derivation is now copied from the original expression
given in VIEW definition.
For example:
- a VIEW column which comes from a string constant
in CREATE VIEW definition have now coercible derivation.
- a VIEW column having COLLATE clause
in CREATE VIEW definition have now explicit derivation.
Evaluate "NULL IN (SELECT ...)" in a special way: Disable pushed-down
conditions and their "consequences":
= Do full table scans instead of unique_[index_subquery] lookups.
= Change appropriate "ref_or_null" accesses to full table scans in
subquery's joins.
Also cache value of NULL IN (SELECT ...) if the SELECT is not correlated
wrt any upper select.
VALUES() was considered a constant. This caused replacing
(or pre-calculating) it using uninitialized values before the actual
execution takes place.
Mark it as a non-constant (still not dependent of tables) to prevent
the pre-calculation.
equal constant under any circumstances.
In fact this substitution can be allowed if the field is
not of a type string or if the field reference serves as
an argument of a comparison predicate.
A date can be represented as an int (like 20060101) and as a string (like
"2006.01.01"). When a DATE/TIME field is compared in one SELECT against both
representations the constant propagation mechanism leads to comparison
of DATE as a string and DATE as an int. In this example it compares 2006 and
20060101 integers. Obviously it fails comparison although they represents the
same date.
Now the Item_bool_func2::fix_length_and_dec() function sets the comparison
context for items being compared. I.e. if items compared as strings the
comparison context is STRING.
The constant propagation mechanism now doesn't mix items used in different
comparison contexts. The context check is done in the
Item_field::equal_fields_propagator() and in the change_cond_ref_to_const()
functions.
Also the better fix for bug 21159 is introduced.
When there is no index defined filesort is used to sort the result of a
query. If there is a function in the select list and the result set should be
ordered by it's value then this function will be evaluated twice. First time to
get the value of the sort key and second time to send its value to a user.
This happens because filesort when sorts a table remembers only values of its
fields but not values of functions.
All functions are affected. But taking into account that SP and UDF functions
can be both expensive and non-deterministic a temporary table should be used
to store their results and then sort it to avoid twice SP evaluation and to
get a correct result.
If an expression referenced in an ORDER clause contains a SP or UDF
function, force the use of a temporary table.
A new Item_processor function called func_type_checker_processor is added
to check whether the expression contains a function of a particular type.
In some functions dealing with strings and character sets, the wrong
pointers were saved for restoration in THD::rollback_item_tree_changes().
This could potentially cause random corruption or crashes.
Fixed by passing the original Item ** locations, not local stack copies.
Also remove unnecessary use of default arguments.
After view onening real view db name and table name are placed
into table_list->view_db & table_list->view_name.
Item_field class does not handle these names properly during
intialization of Send_field.
The fix is to use new class 'Item_ident_for_show'
which sets correct view db name and table name for Send_field.
Changed test for functions if they are supported.
3 categories:
1) Fully supported
2) Supported for single character collations
3) Supported for binary collations
can lead to a wrong result.
All date/time functions has the STRING result type thus their results are
compared as strings. The string date representation allows a user to skip
some of leading zeros. This can lead to wrong comparison result if a date/time
function result is compared to such a string constant.
The idea behind this bug fix is to compare results of date/time functions
and data/time constants as ints, because that date/time representation is
more exact. To achieve this the agg_cmp_type() is changed to take in the
account that a date/time field or an date/time item should be compared
as ints.
This bug fix is partially back ported from 5.0.
The agg_cmp_type() function now accepts THD as one of parameters.
In addition, it now checks if a date/time field/function is present in the
list. If so, it tries to coerce all constants to INT to make date/time
comparison return correct result. The field for the constant coercion is
taken from the Item_field or constructed from the Item_func. In latter case
the constructed field will be freed after conversion of all constant items.
Otherwise the result is same as before - aggregated with help of the
item_cmp_type() function.
From the Item_func_between::fix_length_and_dec() function removed the part
which was converting date/time constants to int if possible. Now this is
done by the agg_cmp_type() function.
The new function result_as_longlong() is added to the Item class.
It indicates that the item is a date/time item and result of it can be
compared as int. Such items are date/time fields/functions.
Correct val_int() methods are implemented for classes Item_date_typecast,
Item_func_makedate, Item_time_typecast, Item_datetime_typecast. All these
classes are derived from Item_str_func and Item_str_func::val_int() converts
its string value to int without regard to the date/time type of these items.
Arg_comparator::set_compare_func() and Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func()
functions are changed to substitute result type of an item with the INT_RESULT
if the item is a date/time item and another item is a constant. This is done
to get a correct result of comparisons like date_time_function() = string_constant.
Changes that requires code changes in other code of other storage engines.
(Note that all changes are very straightforward and one should find all issues
by compiling a --debug build and fixing all compiler errors and all
asserts in field.cc while running the test suite),
- New optional handler function introduced: reset()
This is called after every DML statement to make it easy for a handler to
statement specific cleanups.
(The only case it's not called is if force the file to be closed)
- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RESET) is removed. Code that was there before
should be moved to handler::reset()
- table->read_set contains a bitmap over all columns that are needed
in the query. read_row() and similar functions only needs to read these
columns
- table->write_set contains a bitmap over all columns that will be updated
in the query. write_row() and update_row() only needs to update these
columns.
The above bitmaps should now be up to date in all context
(including ALTER TABLE, filesort()).
The handler is informed of any changes to the bitmap after
fix_fields() by calling the virtual function
handler::column_bitmaps_signal(). If the handler does caching of
these bitmaps (instead of using table->read_set, table->write_set),
it should redo the caching in this code. as the signal() may be sent
several times, it's probably best to set a variable in the signal
and redo the caching on read_row() / write_row() if the variable was
set.
- Removed the read_set and write_set bitmap objects from the handler class
- Removed all column bit handling functions from the handler class.
(Now one instead uses the normal bitmap functions in my_bitmap.c instead
of handler dedicated bitmap functions)
- field->query_id is removed. One should instead instead check
table->read_set and table->write_set if a field is used in the query.
- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIVE_ALL_COLS) and
handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIEVE_PRIMARY_KEY) are removed. One should now
instead use table->read_set to check for which columns to retrieve.
- If a handler needs to call Field->val() or Field->store() on columns
that are not used in the query, one should install a temporary
all-columns-used map while doing so. For this, we provide the following
functions:
my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->read_set);
field->val();
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->read_set, old_map);
and similar for the write map:
my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->write_set);
field->val();
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->write_set, old_map);
If this is not done, you will sooner or later hit a DBUG_ASSERT
in the field store() / val() functions.
(For not DBUG binaries, the dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() and
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() are inline dummy functions and should
be optimized away be the compiler).
- If one needs to temporary set the column map for all binaries (and not
just to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT() in the Field::store() / Field::val()
methods) one should use the functions tmp_use_all_columns() and
tmp_restore_column_map() instead of the above dbug_ variants.
- All 'status' fields in the handler base class (like records,
data_file_length etc) are now stored in a 'stats' struct. This makes
it easier to know what status variables are provided by the base
handler. This requires some trivial variable names in the extra()
function.
- New virtual function handler::records(). This is called to optimize
COUNT(*) if (handler::table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS()) is true.
(stats.records is not supposed to be an exact value. It's only has to
be 'reasonable enough' for the optimizer to be able to choose a good
optimization path).
- Non virtual handler::init() function added for caching of virtual
constants from engine.
- Removed has_transactions() virtual method. Now one should instead return
HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS in table_flags() if the table handler DOES NOT support
transactions.
- The 'xxxx_create_handler()' function now has a MEM_ROOT_root argument
that is to be used with 'new handler_name()' to allocate the handler
in the right area. The xxxx_create_handler() function is also
responsible for any initialization of the object before returning.
For example, one should change:
static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table)
{
return new ha_myisam(table);
}
->
static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table, MEM_ROOT *mem_root)
{
return new (mem_root) ha_myisam(table);
}
- New optional virtual function: use_hidden_primary_key().
This is called in case of an update/delete when
(table_flags() and HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE) is defined
but we don't have a primary key. This allows the handler to take precisions
in remembering any hidden primary key to able to update/delete any
found row. The default handler marks all columns to be read.
- handler::table_flags() now returns a ulonglong (to allow for more flags).
- New/changed table_flags()
- HA_HAS_RECORDS Set if ::records() is supported
- HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS Set if engine doesn't support transactions
- HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE
Set if we should mark all primary key columns for
read when reading rows as part of a DELETE
statement. If there is no primary key,
all columns are marked for read.
- HA_PARTIAL_COLUMN_READ Set if engine will not read all columns in some
cases (based on table->read_set)
- HA_PRIMARY_KEY_ALLOW_RANDOM_ACCESS
Renamed to HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION.
- HA_DUPP_POS Renamed to HA_DUPLICATE_POS
- HA_REQUIRES_KEY_COLUMNS_FOR_DELETE
Set this if we should mark ALL key columns for
read when when reading rows as part of a DELETE
statement. In case of an update we will mark
all keys for read for which key part changed
value.
- HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT
Set this if stats.records is exact.
(This saves us some extra records() calls
when optimizing COUNT(*))
- Removed table_flags()
- HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT Now one should instead use HA_HAS_RECORDS if
handler::records() gives an exact count() and
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT if stats.records is exact.
- HA_READ_RND_SAME Removed (no one supported this one)
- Removed not needed functions ha_retrieve_all_cols() and ha_retrieve_all_pk()
- Renamed handler::dupp_pos to handler::dup_pos
- Removed not used variable handler::sortkey
Upper level handler changes:
- ha_reset() now does some overall checks and calls ::reset()
- ha_table_flags() added. This is a cached version of table_flags(). The
cache is updated on engine creation time and updated on open.
MySQL level changes (not obvious from the above):
- DBUG_ASSERT() added to check that column usage matches what is set
in the column usage bit maps. (This found a LOT of bugs in current
column marking code).
- In 5.1 before, all used columns was marked in read_set and only updated
columns was marked in write_set. Now we only mark columns for which we
need a value in read_set.
- Column bitmaps are created in open_binary_frm() and open_table_from_share().
(Before this was in table.cc)
- handler::table_flags() calls are replaced with handler::ha_table_flags()
- For calling field->val() you must have the corresponding bit set in
table->read_set. For calling field->store() you must have the
corresponding bit set in table->write_set. (There are asserts in
all store()/val() functions to catch wrong usage)
- thd->set_query_id is renamed to thd->mark_used_columns and instead
of setting this to an integer value, this has now the values:
MARK_COLUMNS_NONE, MARK_COLUMNS_READ, MARK_COLUMNS_WRITE
Changed also all variables named 'set_query_id' to mark_used_columns.
- In filesort() we now inform the handler of exactly which columns are needed
doing the sort and choosing the rows.
- The TABLE_SHARE object has a 'all_set' column bitmap one can use
when one needs a column bitmap with all columns set.
(This is used for table->use_all_columns() and other places)
- The TABLE object has 3 column bitmaps:
- def_read_set Default bitmap for columns to be read
- def_write_set Default bitmap for columns to be written
- tmp_set Can be used as a temporary bitmap when needed.
The table object has also two pointer to bitmaps read_set and write_set
that the handler should use to find out which columns are used in which way.
- count() optimization now calls handler::records() instead of using
handler->stats.records (if (table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS) is true).
- Added extra argument to Item::walk() to indicate if we should also
traverse sub queries.
- Added TABLE parameter to cp_buffer_from_ref()
- Don't close tables created with CREATE ... SELECT but keep them in
the table cache. (Faster usage of newly created tables).
New interfaces:
- table->clear_column_bitmaps() to initialize the bitmaps for tables
at start of new statements.
- table->column_bitmaps_set() to set up new column bitmaps and signal
the handler about this.
- table->column_bitmaps_set_no_signal() for some few cases where we need
to setup new column bitmaps but don't signal the handler (as the handler
has already been signaled about these before). Used for the momement
only in opt_range.cc when doing ROR scans.
- table->use_all_columns() to install a bitmap where all columns are marked
as use in the read and the write set.
- table->default_column_bitmaps() to install the normal read and write
column bitmaps, but not signaling the handler about this.
This is mainly used when creating TABLE instances.
- table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete(),
table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete() and
table->mark_columns_needed_for_insert() to allow us to put additional
columns in column usage maps if handler so requires.
(The handler indicates what it neads in handler->table_flags())
- table->prepare_for_position() to allow us to tell handler that it
needs to read primary key parts to be able to store them in
future table->position() calls.
(This replaces the table->file->ha_retrieve_all_pk function)
- table->mark_auto_increment_column() to tell handler are going to update
columns part of any auto_increment key.
- table->mark_columns_used_by_index() to mark all columns that is part of
an index. It will also send extra(HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD) to handler to allow
it to quickly know that it only needs to read colums that are part
of the key. (The handler can also use the column map for detecting this,
but simpler/faster handler can just monitor the extra() call).
- table->mark_columns_used_by_index_no_reset() to in addition to other columns,
also mark all columns that is used by the given key.
- table->restore_column_maps_after_mark_index() to restore to default
column maps after a call to table->mark_columns_used_by_index().
- New item function register_field_in_read_map(), for marking used columns
in table->read_map. Used by filesort() to mark all used columns
- Maintain in TABLE->merge_keys set of all keys that are used in query.
(Simplices some optimization loops)
- Maintain Field->part_of_key_not_clustered which is like Field->part_of_key
but the field in the clustered key is not assumed to be part of all index.
(used in opt_range.cc for faster loops)
- dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(), dbug_tmp_restore_column_map()
tmp_use_all_columns() and tmp_restore_column_map() functions to temporally
mark all columns as usable. The 'dbug_' version is primarily intended
inside a handler when it wants to just call Field:store() & Field::val()
functions, but don't need the column maps set for any other usage.
(ie:: bitmap_is_set() is never called)
- We can't use compare_records() to skip updates for handlers that returns
a partial column set and the read_set doesn't cover all columns in the
write set. The reason for this is that if we have a column marked only for
write we can't in the MySQL level know if the value changed or not.
The reason this worked before was that MySQL marked all to be written
columns as also to be read. The new 'optimal' bitmaps exposed this 'hidden
bug'.
- open_table_from_share() does not anymore setup temporary MEM_ROOT
object as a thread specific variable for the handler. Instead we
send the to-be-used MEMROOT to get_new_handler().
(Simpler, faster code)
Bugs fixed:
- Column marking was not done correctly in a lot of cases.
(ALTER TABLE, when using triggers, auto_increment fields etc)
(Could potentially result in wrong values inserted in table handlers
relying on that the old column maps or field->set_query_id was correct)
Especially when it comes to triggers, there may be cases where the
old code would cause lost/wrong values for NDB and/or InnoDB tables.
- Split thd->options flag OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE to two flags:
OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE and OPTION_KEEP_LOG.
This allowed me to remove some wrong warnings about:
"Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back"
- Fixed handling of INSERT .. SELECT and CREATE ... SELECT that wrongly reset
(thd->options & OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE) which caused us to loose
some warnings about
"Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back")
- Fixed use of uninitialized memory in ha_ndbcluster.cc::delete_table()
which could cause delete_table to report random failures.
- Fixed core dumps for some tests when running with --debug
- Added missing FN_LIBCHAR in mysql_rm_tmp_tables()
(This has probably caused us to not properly remove temporary files after
crash)
- slow_logs was not properly initialized, which could maybe cause
extra/lost entries in slow log.
- If we get an duplicate row on insert, change column map to read and
write all columns while retrying the operation. This is required by
the definition of REPLACE and also ensures that fields that are only
part of UPDATE are properly handled. This fixed a bug in NDB and
REPLACE where REPLACE wrongly copied some column values from the replaced
row.
- For table handler that doesn't support NULL in keys, we would give an error
when creating a primary key with NULL fields, even after the fields has been
automaticly converted to NOT NULL.
- Creating a primary key on a SPATIAL key, would fail if field was not
declared as NOT NULL.
Cleanups:
- Removed not used condition argument to setup_tables
- Removed not needed item function reset_query_id_processor().
- Field->add_index is removed. Now this is instead maintained in
(field->flags & FIELD_IN_ADD_INDEX)
- Field->fieldnr is removed (use field->field_index instead)
- New argument to filesort() to indicate that it should return a set of
row pointers (not used columns). This allowed me to remove some references
to sql_command in filesort and should also enable us to return column
results in some cases where we couldn't before.
- Changed column bitmap handling in opt_range.cc to be aligned with TABLE
bitmap, which allowed me to use bitmap functions instead of looping over
all fields to create some needed bitmaps. (Faster and smaller code)
- Broke up found too long lines
- Moved some variable declaration at start of function for better code
readability.
- Removed some not used arguments from functions.
(setup_fields(), mysql_prepare_insert_check_table())
- setup_fields() now takes an enum instead of an int for marking columns
usage.
- For internal temporary tables, use handler::write_row(),
handler::delete_row() and handler::update_row() instead of
handler::ha_xxxx() for faster execution.
- Changed some constants to enum's and define's.
- Using separate column read and write sets allows for easier checking
of timestamp field was set by statement.
- Remove calls to free_io_cache() as this is now done automaticly in ha_reset()
- Don't build table->normalized_path as this is now identical to table->path
(after bar's fixes to convert filenames)
- Fixed some missed DBUG_PRINT(.."%lx") to use "0x%lx" to make it easier to
do comparision with the 'convert-dbug-for-diff' tool.
Things left to do in 5.1:
- We wrongly log failed CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in some cases when using
row based logging (as shown by testcase binlog_row_mix_innodb_myisam.result)
Mats has promised to look into this.
- Test that my fix for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is indeed correct.
(I added several test cases for this, but in this case it's better that
someone else also tests this throughly).
Lars has promosed to do this.
