# ==== Purpose ==== # # Check if the two given tables (possibly residing on different # master/slave servers) are equal. # # ==== Usage ==== # # The tables to check are given by the test language variables # $diff_table_1 and $diff_table_2. They must be of the # following form: # # [master:|slave:]database.table # # I.e., both database and table must be speicified. Optionally, you # can prefix the name with 'master:' (to read the table on master) or # with 'slave:' (to read the table on slave). If no prefix is given, # reads the table from the current connection. If one of these # variables has a prefix, both should have a prefix. # # ==== Side effects ==== # # - Prints "Comparing tables $diff_table_1 and $diff_tables_2". # # - If the tables are different, prints the difference in a # system-specific format (unified diff if supported) and generates # an error. # # - If $diff_table_1 or $diff_table_2 begins with 'master:' or # 'slave:', it will stay connected to one of those hosts after # execution. The host is only guaranteed to remain unchanged if # none of $diff_table_1 or $diff_table_2 begins with 'master:' or # 'slave:'. # # ==== Bugs ==== # # - It is currently not possible to use this for tables that are # supposed to be different, because if the files are different: # - 'diff' produces system-dependent output, # - the output includes the absolute path of the compared files, # - the output includes a timestamp. # To fix that, we'd probably have to use SQL to compute the # symmetric difference between the tables. I'm not sure how to do # that efficiently. If we implement this, it would be nice to # compare the table definitions too. # # - It actually compares the result of "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY # col1, col2, ..., colN INTO OUTFILE 'file'". Hence, it is assumed # that the comparison orders for both tables are equal and that two # rows that are equal in the comparison order cannot differ, e.g., # by character case. # ==== Save both tables to file ==== --echo Comparing tables $diff_table_1 and $diff_table_2 disable_query_log; --error 0,1 --remove_file $MYSQLTEST_VARDIR/tmp/diff_table_1 --error 0,1 --remove_file $MYSQLTEST_VARDIR/tmp/diff_table_2 let $_diff_table=$diff_table_2; let $_diff_i=2; while ($_diff_i) { # Parse out any leading "master:" or "slave:" from the table # specification and connect the appropriate server. let $_diff_conn_master=`SELECT SUBSTR('$_diff_table', 1, 7) = 'master:'`; if ($_diff_conn_master) { let $_diff_table=`SELECT SUBSTR('$_diff_table', 8)`; connection master; } let $_diff_conn_slave=`SELECT SUBSTR('$_diff_table', 1, 6) = 'slave:'`; if ($_diff_conn_slave) { let $_diff_table=`SELECT SUBSTR('$_diff_table', 7)`; connection slave; } # Sanity-check the input. let $_diff_error= `SELECT '$_diff_table' NOT LIKE '_%._%'`; if ($_diff_error) { --echo !!!ERROR IN TEST: \$diff_table_$_diff_i='$_diff_table' is not in the form database.table exit; } # We need the output files to be sorted (so that diff_files does not # think the files are different just because they are differently # ordered).
