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 issue here is that the window function execution is not called for the correct join tab, when we have GROUP BY
where we create extra temporary tables then we need to call window function execution for the last join tab. For doing
so the current code does not take into account the JOIN::aggr_tables.
Fixed by introducing a new function JOIN::total_join_tab_cnt that takes in account the temporary tables also.
Window definitions are resolved during fix fields. Updating used tables
for window functions must be done after all window functions have had a
chance to be resolved.
There was an additional problem with the implementation: expressions that
contained window functions never updated the expression's used tables.
To fix both these issues, make sure to call "update_used_tables" on all
items that contain window functions after we have passed through all
items.
Most "new" failures fixed in the following files:
- sql_select.cc
- item.cc
- item_func.cc
- opt_subselect.cc
Other things:
- Allocate udf_handler strings in mem_root
- Required changes in sql_string.h
- Add mem_root as argument to some new [] calls
- Mark udf_handler strings as thread specific
- Removed some comment blocks with code
1)ER_ARGUMENT_OUT_OF_RANGE: This error is thrown if the argument of the percentile function is not in the range [0,1]
2)ER_ARGUMENT_NOT_CONSTANT: This error is thrown if the argument of the percnetile function is not constant in the
entire partition of the window function
- 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
It allows to push conditions into derived with window functions not
only in the cases when the window specifications of these window
functions use the same partition, but also in the cases when the window
functions use partitions that share only some fields. In these
cases only the conditions over the common fields are pushed.
The usage of windows functions when all tables were optimized away
by min/max optimization were not supported. As result a result,
the queries that used window functions with min/max aggregation
over the whole table returned wrong result sets.
The patch fixed this problem.
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)
The bug was not visible in current HEAD. Introduced test case to catch
regressions. Also improve error messages regarding distinct usage in
window functions.
The bug was caused by several issues.
2 problems in seek_io_cache. Due to wrong offsets used, we would end up
seeking way too much (first change), or over the intended seek point
(second change). Fixing it requires correctly detecting available data
in buffer (first change), and not using "IO_SIZE alligned" reads. The
second is needed because _my_b_cache_read adjusts the pos_in_file itself
based on read_pos and read_end. Pretending buffer is empty when we want
to force a read will aleviate this problem.
Secondly, the big-table cursors didn't repect the interface definitions
of always returning the rownumber that Table_read_cursor::fetch() would activate.
At the same time, next(), prev() and move_to() should not perform any
row activation.
Window functions need to be computed after applying the HAVING clause.
An optimization that we have for regular, non-window function, cases is
to apply having only during sending of the rows to the client. This
allows rows that should be filtered from the temporary table used to
store aggregation results to be stored there.
This behaviour is undesireable for window functions, as we have to
compute window functions on the result-set after HAVING is applied.
Storing extra rows in the table leads to wrong values as the frame
bounds might capture those -to be filtered afterwards- rows.
The same approach is needed for LAST_VALUE, otherwise the LAST_VALUE sum
functions are not cleared correctly. Now LAST_VALUE behaves as NTH_VALUE
with 0 offset, only that the frame that it is examining is the bottom bound,
not the top bound.
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.
Add support for having multiple IO_CACHEs with type=READ_CACHE to share
the file they are reading from.
Each IO_CACHE keeps its own in-memory buffer. When doing a read or seek
operation on the file, it notifies other IO_CACHEs that the file position
has been changed.
Make Rowid_seq_cursor use cloned IO_CACHE when reading filesort result.
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.
Make window functions work with an empty over clause by forcing
a sort on the first column of the current join_tab. This is a temporary
fix until we get window functions to work with big tables.
The positional cursor now fetches rows based on the positional
cursor and an offset (if present). It will fetch rows, based on the
offset, only if the required position is not out of bounds.
