Vicențiu Ciorbaru f0ad93403f MDEV-12666: CURRENT_ROLE() and DATABASE() does not work in a view
The problem lies in how CURRENT_ROLE is defined. The
Item_func_current_role inherits from Item_func_sysconst, which defines
a safe_charset_converter to be a const_charset_converter.

During view creation, if there is no role previously set, the current_role()
function returns NULL.

This is captured on item instantiation and the
const_charset_converter call subsequently returns an Item_null.
In turn, the function is replaced with Item_null and the view is
then created with an Item_null instead of Item_func_current_role.

Without this patch, the first SHOW CREATE VIEW from the testcase would
have a where clause of WHERE role_name = NULL, while the second SHOW
CREATE VIEW would show a correctly created view.

The same applies for the DATABASE function, as it can change as well.

There is an additional problem with CURRENT_ROLE() when used in a
prepared statement. During prepared statement creation we used to set
the string_value of the function to the current role as well as the
null_value flag. During execution, if CURRENT_ROLE was not null, the
null_value flag was never set to not-null during fix_fields.

Item_func_current_user however can never be NULL so it did not show this
problem in a view before. At the same time, the CURRENT_USER() can not
be changed between prepared statement execution and creation so the
implementation where the value is stored during fix_fields is
sufficient.

Note also that DATABASE() function behaves differently during prepared
statements. See bug 25843 for details or commit

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run
the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in
this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it.

Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could
actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not
conflict with it. To run the test suite in a source directory, you
must do make first.

All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please
read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the
problem:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs

If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests,
use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode,
the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run.
For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests
with an external server:

mysql-test-run --extern socket=/tmp/mysql.sock alias analyze

To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and
other relevant options.

With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back
to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some
tests cannot run with an external server.

You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new
file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test
extension. For example:

 xemacs t/test_case_name.test

 In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables,
 load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it.

 We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not
 conflict too much with existing tables).

 Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and
 end by dropping them again.  This ensures that you can run the test over
 and over again.
 
 If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your
 test case, you should create the result file as follows:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 or

 mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test

 If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and
 comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result

 mysqltest --record --database test --result-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test

 When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result
 - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should
   edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify
   that the bug is corrected in future releases.

If you want to submit your test case you can send it 
to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.com or attach it to a bug report on
http://mariadb.org/jira/.

If the test case is really big or if it contains 'not public' data,
then put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive,
add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to
ftp://ftp.askmonty.org/private and submit a report to
http://mariadb.org/jira about it.
