This is a performance bug, affecting in particular the bison generated code
for the parser.
Prior to this fix, the grammar used a long chain of reduces to parse an
expression, like:
bit_expr -> bit_term
bit_term -> bit_factor
bit_factor -> value_expr
value_expr -> term
term -> factor
etc
This chain of reduces cause the internal state automaton in the generated
parser to execute more state transitions and more reduces, so that the
generated MySQLParse() function would spend a lot of time looping to execute
all the grammar reductions.
With this patch, the grammar has been reorganized so that rules are more
"flat", limiting the depth of reduces needed to parse <expr>.
Tests have been written to enforce that relative priorities and properties
of operators have not changed while changing the grammar.
See the bug report for performance data.
This is a performance bug, related to the parsing or 'OR' and 'AND' boolean
expressions.
Let N be the number of expressions involved in a OR (respectively AND).
When N=1
For example, "select 1" involve only 1 term: there is no OR operator.
In 4.0 and 4.1, parsing expressions not involving OR had no overhead.
In 5.0, parsing adds some overhead, with Select->expr_list.
With this patch, the overhead introduced in 5.0 has been removed,
so that performances for N=1 should be identical to the 4.0 performances,
which are optimal (there is no code executed at all)
The overhead in 5.0 was in fact affecting significantly some operations.
For example, loading 1 Million rows into a table with INSERTs,
for a table that has 100 columns, leads to parsing 100 Millions of
expressions, which means that the overhead related to Select->expr_list
is executed 100 Million times ...
Considering that N=1 is by far the most probable expression,
this case should be optimal.
When N=2
For example, "select a OR b" involves 2 terms in the OR operator.
In 4.0 and 4.1, parsing expressions involving 2 terms created 1 Item_cond_or
node, which is the expected result.
In 5.0, parsing these expression also produced 1 node, but with some extra
overhead related to Select->expr_list : creating 1 list in Select->expr_list
and another in Item_cond::list is inefficient.
With this patch, the overhead introduced in 5.0 has been removed
so that performances for N=2 should be identical to the 4.0 performances.
Note that the memory allocation uses the new (thd->mem_root) syntax
directly.
The cost of "is_cond_or" is estimated to be neglectable: the real problem
of the performance degradation comes from unneeded memory allocations.
When N>=3
For example, "select a OR b OR c ...", which involves 3 or more terms.
In 4.0 and 4.1, the parser had no significant cost overhead, but produced
an Item tree which is difficult to evaluate / optimize during runtime.
In 5.0, the parser produces a better Item tree, using the Item_cond
constructor that accepts a list of children directly, but at an extra cost
related to Select->expr_list.
With this patch, the code is implemented to take the best of the two
implementations:
- there is no overhead with Select->expr_list
- the Item tree generated is optimized and flattened.
This is achieved by adding children nodes into the Item tree directly,
with Item_cond::add(), which avoids the need for temporary lists and memory
allocation
Note that this patch also provide an extra optimization, that the previous
code in 5.0 did not provide: expressions are flattened in the Item tree,
based on what the expression already parsed is, and not based on the order
in which rules are reduced.
For example : "(a OR b) OR c", "a OR (b OR c)" would both be represented
with 2 Item_cond_or nodes before this patch, and with 1 node only with this
patch. The logic used is based on the mathematical properties of the OR
operator (it's associative), and produces a simpler tree.
Although the query cache doesn't support retrieval of statements containing
column level access control, it was still possible to cache such statements
thus wasting memory.
This patch extends the access control check on the target tables to avoid
caching a statement with column level restrictions.
Views are excepted and can be cached but only retrieved by super user account.

mysql_ha_open calls mysql_ha_close on the error path (unsupported) to close the (opened) table before inserting it into the tables hash list handler_tables_hash) but mysql_ha_close only closes tables which are on the hash list, causing the table to be left open and locked.
This change moves the table close logic into a separate function that is always called on the error path of mysql_ha_open or on a normal handler close (mysql_ha_close).
under terms of bug#28875 for better performance.
The change appeared to require more changes in item_cmpfunc.cc,
which is dangerous in 5.0.
Conversion between a latin1 column and an ascii string constant
stopped to work.
Two character mappings were way off (backtick and tilde were "E"
and "Y"!), and three others were slightly rotated. The first
would cause collisions, and the latter was probably benign.
Now, assign the character mappings exactly to their normal values.
MySQL replicates the time zone only when operations that involve
it are performed. This is controlled by a flag. But this flag
is set only on successful operation.
The flag must be set also when there is an error that involves
a timezone (so the master would replicate the error to the slaves).
Fixed by moving the setting of the flag before the operation
(so it apples to errors as well).
This bug manifested itself for queries with grouping by columns of
the BIT type. It led to wrong comparisons of bit-field values and
wrong result sets.
Bit-field values never cannot be compared as binary values. Yet
the class Field_bit had an implementation of the cmp method that
compared bit-fields values as binary values.
Also the get_image and set_image methods of the base class Field
cannot be used for objects of the Field_bit class.
Now these methods are declared as virtual and specific implementations
of the methods are provided for the class Field_bit.
(Regression, caused by a patch for the bug 22646).
Problem: when result type of date_format() was changed from
binary string to character string, mixing date_format()
with a ascii column in CONCAT() stopped to work.
Fix:
- adding "repertoire" flag into DTCollation class,
to mark items which can return only pure ASCII strings.
- allow character set conversion from pure ASCII to other character sets.
The SELECT query with more than 31 nested dependent SELECT queries returned
wrong result.
New error message has been added: ER_TOO_HIGH_LEVEL_OF_NESTING_FOR_SELECT.
It will be reported as: "Too high level of nesting for select".
restores from mysqlbinlog out
Problem: using "mysqlbinlog | mysql" for recoveries the connection_id()
result may differ from what was used when issuing the statement.
Fix: if there is a connection_id() in a statement, write to binlog
SET pseudo_thread_id= XXX; before it and use the value later on.
Bug #27417 thd->no_trans_update.stmt lost value inside of SF-exec-stack
Once had been set the flag might later got reset inside of a stored routine
execution stack.
The reason was in that there was no check if a new statement started at time
of resetting.
The artifact affects most of binlogable DML queries. Notice, that multi-update
is wrapped up within
bug@27716 fix, multi-delete bug@29136.
Fixed with saving parent's statement flag of whether the statement modified
non-transactional table, and unioning (merging) the value with that was gained
in mysql_execute_command.
Resettling thd->no_trans_update members into thd->transaction.`member`;
Asserting code;
Effectively the following properties are held.
1. At the end of a substatement thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table
reflects the fact if such a table got modified by the substatement.
That also respects THD::really_abort_on_warnin() requirements.
2. Eventually thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table will be computed as
the union of the values of all invoked sub-statements.
That fixes this bug#27417;
Computing of thd->transaction.all.modified_non_trans_table is refined to base to
the stmt's value for all the case including insert .. select statement which
before the patch had an extra issue bug@28960.
Minor issues are covered with mysql_load, mysql_delete, and binloggin of insert in
to temp_table select.
The supplied test verifies limitely, mostly asserts. The ultimate testing is defered
for bug@13270, bug@23333.
When innodb detects a deadlock it calls ha_rollback_trans() to rollback the
main transaction. But such action isn't allowed from inside of triggers and
functions. When it happen the 'Explicit or implicit commit' error is thrown
even if there is no commit/rollback statements in the trigger/function. This
leads to the user confusion.
Now the convert_error_code_to_mysql() function doesn't call the
ha_rollback_trans() function directly but rather calls the
mark_transaction_to_rollback function and returns an error.
The sp_rcontext::find_handler() now doesn't allow errors to be caught by the
trigger/function error handlers when the thd->is_fatal_sub_stmt_error flag
is set. Procedures are still allowed to catch such errors.
The sp_rcontext::find_handler function now accepts a THD handle as a parameter.
The transaction_rollback_request and the is_fatal_sub_stmt_error flags are
added to the THD class. The are initialized by the THD class constructor.
Now the ha_autocommit_or_rollback function rolls back main transaction
when not in a sub statement and the thd->transaction_rollback_request
is set.
The THD::restore_sub_statement_state function now resets the
thd->is_fatal_sub_stmt_error flag on exit from a sub-statement.
SP with local variables with non-ASCII names crashed the server.
The server replaces SP local variable names with NAME_CONST calls
when putting statements into the binary log. It used UTF8-encoded
item names as variable names for the replacement inside NAME_CONST
calls. However, statement string may be encoded by any
known character set by the SET NAMES statement.
The server used byte length of UTF8-encoded names to increment
the position in the query string that led to array index overrun.
