The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
into mysql.com:/home/mysql_src/mysql-5.1-merge-of-5.0
(2nd try; Pekka kindly accepted to fix storage/ndb/src/kernel/blocks/dbtup/DbtupRoutines.cpp
and storage/ndb/src/kernel/vm/SimulatedBlock.cpp after I push).
Version for 5.0.
It fixes three problems:
1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
for this problem "the primary bug fix".
2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
Though the function comment clearly said it must.
I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".
3. In 5.0 (not in 4.1 or 4.0) DROP TABLE had a possible deadlock flaw in
concur with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. I call the fix for this
problem "the 5.0 addendum fix".
Version for 4.0.

This bug occurs when some trigger for table used by DML statement is created
or changed while statement was waiting in lock_tables(). In this situation
prelocking set which we have calculated becames invalid which can easily lead
to errors and even in some cases to crashes.
With proposed patch we no longer silently reopen tables in lock_tables(),
instead caller of lock_tables() becomes responsible for reopening tables and
recalculation of prelocking set.
result set".
To enable full access to contents of I_S tables from stored functions
or statements that use them, we manipulate with thread's open tables
state and ensure that we won't cause deadlock when we open tables by
ignoring flushes and name-locks.
Building of contents of I_S.TABLES no longer requires locking of tables
since we use use handler::info() method with HA_STATUS_AUTO flag instead
of handler::update_auto_increment() for obtaining information about
auto-increment values. But this also means that handlers have to implement
support for HA_STATUS_AUTO flag (particularly InnoDB needs it).
error for LIMIT placeholder".
The patch adds grammar support for LIMIT ?, ? and changes the
type of ST_SELECT_LEX::select_limit,offset_limit from ha_rows to Item*,
so that it can point to Item_param.
1.) Added a new option to mysql_lock_tables() for ignoring FLUSH TABLES.
Used the new option in create_table_from_items().
It is necessary to prevent the SELECT table from being reopend.
It would get new storage assigned for its fields, while the
SELECT part of the command would still use the old (freed) storage.
2.) Protected the CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... SELECT commands
against a global read lock. This prevents a deadlock in
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in conjunction with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
and avoids the creation of new tables during a global read lock.
3.) Replaced set_protect_against_global_read_lock() and
unset_protect_against_global_read_lock() by
wait_if_global_read_lock() and start_waiting_global_read_lock()
in the INSERT DELAYED handling.
and some SP-related cleanups.
- We don't have separate stage for calculation of list of tables
to be prelocked and doing implicit LOCK/UNLOCK any more.
Instead we calculate this list at open_tables() and do implicit
LOCK in lock_tables() (and UNLOCK in close_thread_tables()).
Also now we support cases when same table (with same alias) is
used several times in the same query in SP.
- Cleaned up execution of SP. Moved all common code which handles
LEX and does preparations before statement execution or complex
expression evaluation to auxilary sp_lex_keeper class. Now
all statements in SP (and corresponding instructions) that
evaluate expression which can contain subquery have their
own LEX.
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
FOUND is not a reserved keyword anymore
Added Item_field::set_no_const_sub() to be able to mark fields that can't be substituted
Added 'simple_select' method to be able to quickly determinate if a select_result is a normal SELECT
Note that the 5.0 tree is not yet up to date: Sanja will have to fix multi-update-locks for this merge to be complete
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Fixed problems detected on Windows build by VC++.
Removed unused variables.
Applied a neccessary cast.
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Reworked the HANDLER functions and interface.
Using a HASH to store information on open tables that
survives FLUSH TABLE.
HANDLER tables alias names must now be unique, though it
is allowed in 4.0 to qualify them with the database name
of the base table.
- client side part is simple and may be considered stable
- server side part now just joggles with THD state to save execution
state and has no additional locking wisdom.
Lot's of it are to be rewritten.
Note: The following tests fails
- fulltext (Sergei has promised to fix)
- rpl_charset (Guilhem should fix)
- rpl_timezone (Dimitray has promised to fix)
Sanja needs to check out the calling of close_thread_tables() in sp_head.cc
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
Added more DBUG statements
Ensure that we are comparing end space with BINARY strings
Use 'any_db' instead of '' to mean any database. (For HANDLER command)
Only strip ' ' when comparing CHAR, not other space-like characters (like \t)
Class for sending data from server to client (Protocol)
This handles both the old ( <= 4.0 ) protocol and then new binary protocol that is used for prepared statements.
Warning handling and initial prepared statement handling (last not complete yet)
Changed a lot of functions that returned 0/1 to my_bool type.
GRANT handling now uses read/write locks instead of mutex
Change basic net functions to use THD instead of NET
(needed for 4.1 protocol)
Use my_sprintf instead of sprintf() + strlen()
Added alloc_query() to be able to chare query initialization code with
prepared statements.
Cleanup handling of SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS and SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
Note that the following test fails (will be fixed ASAP):
sub_select, union, rpl_rotate_logs and rpl_mystery22
Some simple optimzations, more comments and indentation changes.
Add ` around database in 'use database' in binary log.
Moved max_error_count and max_warning_count to variables struct.
Removed SHOW_WARNS_COUNT and SHOW_ERRORS_COUNT calls.
Changed string functions to use character set of first string argument as default return characterset
(Each string function can change the above assumption if needed)
