Adding two levels of optimization:
1. For every bytes pair [00..FF][00..FF] which:
a. consists of two ASCII characters or makes a well-formed two-byte character
b. whose total weight string fits into 4 weights
(concatenated weight string in case of two ASCII characters,
or a single weight string in case of a two-byte character)
c. whose weight is context independent (i.e. does not depend on contractions
or previous context pairs)
store weights in a separate array of MY_UCA_2BYTES_ITEM,
so during scanner_next() we can scan two bytes at a time.
Byte pairs that do not match the conditions a-c are marked in this array
as not applicable for optimization and scanned as before.
2. For every byte pair which is applicable for optimization in #1,
and which produces only one or two weights, store
weights in one more array of MY_UCA_WEIGHT2. So in the beginning
of strnncoll*() we can skip equal prefixes using an even more efficient
loop. This loop consumes two bytes at a time. The loop scans while the
two bytes on both sides produce weight strings of equal length
(i.e. one weight on both sides, or two weight on both sides).
This allows to compare efficiently:
- Context independent sequences consisting of two ASCII characters
- Context independent 2-byte characters
- Contractions consisting of two ASCII characters, e.g. Czech "ch".
- Some tricky cases: "ss" vs "SHARP S"
("ss" produces two weights, 0xC39F also produces two weights)
- Added one neutral and 22 tailored (language specific) collations based on
Unicode Collation Algorithm version 14.0.0.
Collations were added for Unicode character sets
utf8mb3, utf8mb4, ucs2, utf16, utf32.
Every tailoring was added with four accent and case
sensitivity flag combinations, e.g:
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_ci
and their _nopad_ variants:
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_ci
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_cs
* utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_ci
- Introducing a conception of contextually typed named collations:
CREATE DATABASE db1 CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
CREATE TABLE db1.t1 (a CHAR(10) COLLATE uca1400_as_ci);
The idea is that there is no a need to specify the character set prefix
in the new collation names. It's enough to type just the suffix
"uca1400_as_ci". The character set is taken from the context.
In the above example script the context character set is utf8mb4.
So the CREATE TABLE will make a column with the collation
utf8mb4_uca1400_as_ci.
Short collations names can be used in any parts of the SQL syntax
where the COLLATE clause is understood.
- New collations are displayed only one time
(without character set combinations) by these statements:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS;
SHOW COLLATION;
For example, all these collations:
- utf8mb3_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- ucs2_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- utf16_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
- utf32_uca1400_swedish_as_ci
have just one entry in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS and SHOW COLLATION,
with COLLATION_NAME equal to "uca1400_swedish_as_ci", which is the suffix
without the character set name:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS
WHERE COLLATION_NAME LIKE '%uca1400_swedish_as_ci';
+-----------------------+
| COLLATION_NAME |
+-----------------------+
| uca1400_swedish_as_ci |
+-----------------------+
Note, the behaviour of old collations did not change.
Non-unicode collations (e.g. latin1_swedish_ci) and
old UCA-4.0.0 collations (e.g. utf8mb4_unicode_ci)
are still displayed with the character set prefix, as before.
- The structure of the table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS was changed.
The NOT NULL constraint was removed from these columns:
- CHARACTER_SET_NAME
- ID
- IS_DEFAULT
and from the corresponding columns in SHOW COLLATION.
For example:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME, ID, IS_DEFAULT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS
WHERE COLLATION_NAME LIKE '%uca1400_swedish_as_ci';
+-----------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| COLLATION_NAME | CHARACTER_SET_NAME | ID | IS_DEFAULT |
+-----------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| uca1400_swedish_as_ci | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+-----------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
The NULL value in these columns now means that the collation
is applicable to multiple character sets.
The behavioir of old collations did not change.
Make sure your client programs can handle NULL values in these columns.
- The structure of the table
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY was changed.
Three new NOT NULL columns were added:
- FULL_COLLATION_NAME
- ID
- IS_DEFAULT
New collations have multiple entries in COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY.
The column COLLATION_NAME contains the collation name without the character
set prefix. The column FULL_COLLATION_NAME contains the collation name with
the character set prefix.
Old collations have full collation name in both FULL_COLLATION_NAME and
COLLATION_NAME.
SELECT COLLATION_NAME, FULL_COLLATION_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME, ID, IS_DEFAULT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY
WHERE FULL_COLLATION_NAME RLIKE '^(utf8mb4|latin1).*swedish.*ci$';
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| COLLATION_NAME | FULL_COLLATION_NAME | CHARACTER_SET_NAME | ID | IS_DEFAULT |
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
| latin1_swedish_ci | latin1_swedish_ci | latin1 | 8 | Yes |
| latin1_swedish_nopad_ci | latin1_swedish_nopad_ci | latin1 | 1032 | |
| utf8mb4_swedish_ci | utf8mb4_swedish_ci | utf8mb4 | 232 | |
| uca1400_swedish_ai_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_ai_ci | utf8mb4 | 2368 | |
| uca1400_swedish_as_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_as_ci | utf8mb4 | 2370 | |
| uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_ai_ci | utf8mb4 | 2372 | |
| uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_ci | utf8mb4_uca1400_swedish_nopad_as_ci | utf8mb4 | 2374 | |
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+--------------------+------+------------+
- Other INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS;
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS;
SELECT TABLE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES;
SELECT DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA;
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS;
SELECT DATABASE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES;
SELECT DATABASE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TRIGGERS;
SELECT DATABASE_COLLATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TRIGGERS;
SELECT COLLATION_CONNECTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS;
display full collation names, including character sets prefix,
for all collations, including new collations.
Corresponding SHOW commands also display full collation names
in collation related columns:
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
SHOW CREATE DATABASE db1;
SHOW TABLE STATUS;
SHOW CREATE FUNCTION f1;
SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE p1;
SHOW CREATE EVENT ev1;
SHOW CREATE TRIGGER tr1;
SHOW CREATE VIEW;
These INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries and SHOW statements may change in
the future, to display show collation names.
