The syntax error happened because we had not implemented a different print for
percentile functions. The syntax is a bit different when we use percentile functions
as window functions in comparision to normal window functions.
Implemented a seperate print function for percentile functions
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;
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
This is another attempt to fix the bug mdev-12992.
This patch introduces st_select_lex::context_analysis_place for
the place in SELECT where context analysis is currently performed.
It's similar to st_select_lex::parsing_place, but it is used at
the preparation stage.
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)
Due to this bug many queries that contained a window function
with MIN/MAX aggregation returned wrong results.
Calculation of a MIN/MAX aggregate function uses cache objects
and a comparator object that are created and set up in
Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields () by a call of Item_sum_hybrid::setup_hybrid().
The latter binds the objects to the first argument of the
MIN/MAX function. Meanwhile window function perform aggregation
over fields of a temporary table. So binding must be done rather to
these fields. The earliest moment when setup the objects used in
MIN/max functions can be done is after all calls of the method
split_sum_func().
This patch introduces this late setup, but only for aggregate
functions used in window functions.
Probably it makes sense to use this late setup for all MIN/MAX
objects.
This patch:
- Adds a new virtual method Type_handler::Item_get_cache
- Splits moves Item_cache::get_cache() into the new method, every
"case XXX_RESULT" to the corresponding Type_handler_xxx::Item_get_cache.
- Adds Item::get_cache as a convenience wrapper, to make the caller code
shorter.
- Changes the last argument of Arg_comparator::cache_converted_constant()
from Item_result to "const Type_handler *".
- Removes subselect_engine::cmp_type, subselect_engine::res_type,
subselect_engine::res_field_type and derives subselect_engine
from Type_handler_hybrid_field_type instead.
- Makes Type_handler_varchar public, as it's now needed as the
default data type handler for subselect_engine.
There was no implementation of the virtual method print()
for the Item_window_func class. As a result for a view
containing window function an invalid view definition could
be written in the frm file. When a query that refers to
this view was executed a syntax error was reported.
Refactour out (into a copy for now) the logic of Item_sum_hybrid, to
allow for multiple arguments. It does not contain the comparator
members. The result is the class Item_sum_hybrid_simple.
LEAD and LAG make use of this Item to store previous rows in a chache.
It also helps in specifying the field type. Currently LEAD/LAG do not
support default values.
NTH_VALUE behaves identical to LEAD and LAG, except that the starting
position cursor is placed on the top of the frame instead of the current
row.
Perform only one table scan for each window function present. We do this
by keeping keeping cursors for each window function frame bound and
running them for each function for every row.
