Bug#4968 ""Stored procedure crash if cursor opened on altered table"
Bug#6895 "Prepared Statements: ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN does nothing"
Bug#19182 "CREATE TABLE bar (m INT) SELECT n FROM foo; doesn't work from
stored procedure."
Bug#19733 "Repeated alter, or repeated create/drop, fails"
Bug#22060 "ALTER TABLE x AUTO_INCREMENT=y in SP crashes server"
Bug#24879 "Prepared Statements: CREATE TABLE (UTF8 KEY) produces a
growing key length" (this bug is not fixed in 5.0)
Re-execution of CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE
statements in stored routines or as prepared statements caused
incorrect results (and crashes in versions prior to 5.0.25).
In 5.1 the problem occured only for CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE
SELECT and CREATE TABLE with INDEX/DATA DIRECTOY options).
The problem of bugs 4968, 19733, 19282 and 6895 was that functions
mysql_prepare_table, mysql_create_table and mysql_alter_table are not
re-execution friendly: during their operation they modify contents
of LEX (members create_info, alter_info, key_list, create_list),
thus making the LEX unusable for the next execution.
In particular, these functions removed processed columns and keys from
create_list, key_list and drop_list. Search the code in sql_table.cc
for drop_it.remove() and similar patterns to find evidence.
The fix is to supply to these functions a usable copy of each of the
above structures at every re-execution of an SQL statement.
To simplify memory management, LEX::key_list and LEX::create_list
were added to LEX::alter_info, a fresh copy of which is created for
every execution.
The problem of crashing bug 22060 stemmed from the fact that the above
metnioned functions were not only modifying HA_CREATE_INFO structure
in LEX, but also were changing it to point to areas in volatile memory
of the execution memory root.
The patch solves this problem by creating and using an on-stack
copy of HA_CREATE_INFO in mysql_execute_command.
Additionally, this patch splits the part of mysql_alter_table
that analizes and rewrites information from the parser into
a separate function - mysql_prepare_alter_table, in analogy with
mysql_prepare_table, which is renamed to mysql_prepare_create_table.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
Before this fix, the parser would sometime change where a token starts by
altering Lex_input_string::tok_start, which later confused the code in
sql_yacc.yy that needs to capture the source code of a SQL statement,
like to represent the body of a stored procedure.
This line of code in sql_lex.cc :
case MY_LEX_USER_VARIABLE_DELIMITER:
lip->tok_start= lip->ptr; // Skip first `
would <skip the first back quote> ... and cause the bug reported.
In general, the responsibility of sql_lex.cc is to *find* where token are
in the SQL text, but is *not* to make up fake or incomplete tokens.
With a quoted label like `my_label`, the token starts on the first quote.
Extracting the token value should not change that (it did).
With this fix, the lexical analysis has been cleaned up to not change
lip->tok_start (in the case found for this bug).
The functions get_token() and get_quoted_token() now have an extra
parameters, used when some characters from the beginning of the token need
to be skipped when extracting a token value, like when extracting 'AB' from
'0xAB', for example, for a HEX_NUM token.
This exposed a bad assumption in Item_hex_string and Item_bin_string,
which has been fixed:
The assumption was that the string given, 'AB', was in fact preceded in
memory by '0x', which might be false (it can be preceded by "x'" and
followed by "'" -- or not be preceded by valid memory at all)
If a name is needed for Item_hex_string or Item_bin_string, the name is
taken from the original and true source code ('0xAB'), and assigned in
the select_item rule, instead of relying on assumptions related to how
memory is used.
The issue found with bug 25411 is due to the function skip_rear_comments()
which damages the source code while implementing a work around.
The root cause of the problem is in the lexical analyser, which does not
process special comments properly.
For special comments like :
[1] aaa /*!50000 bbb */ ccc
since 5.0 is a version older that the current code, the parser is in lining
the content of the special comment, so that the query to process is
[2] aaa bbb ccc
However, the text of the query captured when processing a stored procedure,
stored function or trigger (or event in 5.1), can be after rebuilding it:
[3] aaa bbb */ ccc
which is wrong.
To fix bug 25411 properly, the lexical analyser needs to return [2] when
in lining special comments.
In order to implement this, some preliminary cleanup is required in the code,
which is implemented by this patch.
Before this change, the structure named LEX (or st_lex) contains attributes
that belong to lexical analysis, as well as attributes that represents the
abstract syntax tree (AST) of a statement.
Creating a new LEX structure for each statements (which makes sense for the
AST part) also re-initialized the lexical analysis phase each time, which
is conceptually wrong.
With this patch, the previous st_lex structure has been split in two:
- st_lex represents the Abstract Syntax Tree for a statement. The name "lex"
has not been changed to avoid a bigger impact in the code base.
- class lex_input_stream represents the internal state of the lexical
analyser, which by definition should *not* be reinitialized when parsing
multiple statements from the same input stream.
This change is a pre-requisite for bug 25411, since the implementation of
lex_input_stream will later improve to deal properly with special comments,
and this processing can not be done with the current implementation of
sp_head::reset_lex and sp_head::restore_lex, which interfere with the lexer.
This change set alone does not fix bug 25411.
Support of views wasn't implemented for the TRUNCATE statement.
Now TRUNCATE on views has the same semantics as DELETE FROM view:
mysql_truncate() checks whether the table is a view and falls back
to delete if so.
In order to initialize properly the LEX::updatable for a view
st_lex::can_use_merged() now allows usage of merged views for the
TRUNCATE statement.
the lexer API which internally uses unsigned char variables to
address its state map. The implementation of the lexer should be
internal to the lexer, and not influence the rest of the code.
The problem was that some facilities (like CONVERT_TZ() function or
server HELP statement) may require implicit access to some tables in
'mysql' database. This access was done by ordinary means of adding
such tables to the list of tables the query is going to open.
However, if we issued LOCK TABLES before that, we would get "table
was not locked" error trying to open such implicit tables.
The solution is to treat certain tables as MySQL system tables, like
we already do for mysql.proc. Such tables may be opened for reading
at any moment regardless of any locks in effect. The cost of this is
that system table may be locked for writing only together with other
system tables, it is disallowed to lock system tables for writing and
have any other lock on any other table.
After this patch the following tables are treated as MySQL system
tables:
mysql.help_category
mysql.help_keyword
mysql.help_relation
mysql.help_topic
mysql.proc (it already was)
mysql.time_zone
mysql.time_zone_leap_second
mysql.time_zone_name
mysql.time_zone_transition
mysql.time_zone_transition_type
These tables are now opened with open_system_tables_for_read() and
closed with close_system_tables(), or one table may be opened with
open_system_table_for_update() and closed with close_thread_tables()
(the latter is used for mysql.proc table, which is updated as part of
normal MySQL server operation). These functions may be used when
some tables were opened and locked already.
NOTE: online update of time zone tables is not possible during
replication, because there's no time zone cache flush neither on LOCK
TABLES, nor on FLUSH TABLES, so the master may serve stale time zone
data from cache, while on slave updated data will be loaded from the
time zone tables.
away.
During optimization stage the WHERE conditions can be changed or even
be removed at all if they know for sure to be true of false. Thus they aren't
showed in the EXPLAIN EXTENDED which prints conditions after optimization.
Now if all elements of an Item_cond were removed this Item_cond is substituted
for an Item_int with the int value of the Item_cond.
If there were conditions that were totally optimized away then values of the
saved cond_value and having_value will be printed instead.
fixes).
The legend: on a replication slave, in case a trigger creation
was filtered out because of application of replicate-do-table/
replicate-ignore-table rule, the parsed definition of a trigger was not
cleaned up properly. LEX::sphead member was left around and leaked
memory. Until the actual implementation of support of
replicate-ignore-table rules for triggers by the patch for Bug 24478 it
was never the case that "case SQLCOM_CREATE_TRIGGER"
was not executed once a trigger was parsed,
so the deletion of lex->sphead there worked and the memory did not leak.
The fix:
The real cause of the bug is that there is no 1 or 2 places where
we can clean up the main LEX after parse. And the reason we
can not have just one or two places where we clean up the LEX is
asymmetric behaviour of MYSQLparse in case of success or error.
One of the root causes of this behaviour is the code in Item::Item()
constructor. There, a newly created item adds itself to THD::free_list
- a single-linked list of Items used in a statement. Yuck. This code
is unaware that we may have more than one statement active at a time,
and always assumes that the free_list of the current statement is
located in THD::free_list. One day we need to be able to explicitly
allocate an item in a given Query_arena.
Thus, when parsing a definition of a stored procedure, like
CREATE PROCEDURE p1() BEGIN SELECT a FROM t1; SELECT b FROM t1; END;
we actually need to reset THD::mem_root, THD::free_list and THD::lex
to parse the nested procedure statement (SELECT *).
The actual reset and restore is implemented in semantic actions
attached to sp_proc_stmt grammar rule.
The problem is that in case of a parsing error inside a nested statement
Bison generated parser would abort immediately, without executing the
restore part of the semantic action. This would leave THD in an
in-the-middle-of-parsing state.
This is why we couldn't have had a single place where we clean up the LEX
after MYSQLparse - in case of an error we needed to do a clean up
immediately, in case of success a clean up could have been delayed.
This left the door open for a memory leak.
One of the following possibilities were considered when working on a fix:
- patch the replication logic to do the clean up. Rejected
as breaks module borders, replication code should not need to know the
gory details of clean up procedure after CREATE TRIGGER.
- wrap MYSQLparse with a function that would do a clean up.
Rejected as ideally we should fix the problem when it happens, not
adjust for it outside of the problematic code.
- make sure MYSQLparse cleans up after itself by invoking the clean up
functionality in the appropriate places before return. Implemented in
this patch.
- use %destructor rule for sp_proc_stmt to restore THD - cleaner
than the prevoius approach, but rejected
because needs a careful analysis of the side effects, and this patch is
for 5.0, and long term we need to use the next alternative anyway
- make sure that sp_proc_stmt doesn't juggle with THD - this is a
large work that will affect many modules.
Cleanup: move main_lex and main_mem_root from Statement to its
only two descendants Prepared_statement and THD. This ensures that
when a Statement instance was created for purposes of statement backup,
we do not involve LEX constructor/destructor, which is fairly expensive.
In order to track that the transformation produces equivalent
functionality please check the respective constructors and destructors
of Statement, Prepared_statement and THD - these members were
used only there.
This cleanup is unrelated to the patch.
can be specified
Currently MySQL allows one to specify what indexes to ignore during
join optimization. The scope of the current USE/FORCE/IGNORE INDEX
statement is only the FROM clause, while all other clauses are not
affected.
However, in certain cases, the optimizer
may incorrectly choose an index for sorting and/or grouping, and
produce an inefficient query plan.
This task provides the means to specify what indexes are
ignored/used for what operation in a more fine-grained manner, thus
making it possible to manually force a better plan. We do this
by extending the current IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX syntax to:
IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX [FOR {JOIN | ORDER | GROUP BY}]
so that:
- if no FOR is specified, the index hint will apply everywhere.
- if MySQL is started with the compatibility option --old_mode then
an index hint without a FOR clause works as in 5.0 (i.e, the
index will only be ignored for JOINs, but can still be used to
compute ORDER BY).
See the WL#3527 for further details.
