This change fixes:
MCOL-4462 CAST(varchar_expr AS DECIMAL(M,N)) returns a wrong result
MCOL-4500 Bit functions processing throws internally trying to cast char into decimal representation
MCOL-4532 CAST(AS DECIMAL) returns a garbage for large values
Also, this change makes string-to-decimal conversion 5-10 times faster,
depending on exact data.
Performance implemenent is achieved by the fact that (unlike in the old
implementation), the new version does not do any "string" object copying.
CI with RelWithDebInfo builds revealed a problem in the main
patch for MCOL-4464, which did not show up with Debug builds.
Methods like:
- getDoubleVal()
- getDateIntVal()
- getDatetimeIntVal()
- getTimestampIntVal()
- getTimeIntVal()
- getUintVal()
- getIntVal()
- getStrVal()
require the caller to initialize the isNull argument to false.
This fact was not taken into account in MCOL-4464.
Adding proper initializations.
For TIMESTAMP, it should do similar. However, it didn't work. For some reason, MDB has the function set as DATETIME, which for cs, isn't the same thing. Added a kludge to ha_mcs_execplan.cpp to handle it.
1. This patch adds support for wide decimals with/without scale
to cpimport. In addition, INSERT ... SELECT and LDI are also
now supported.
2. Logic to compute the number of bytes to convert a binary
representation in the buffer to a narrow decimal is also
simplified.
After creating and populating tables with CHAR(5) case insensitive columns,
in a set of consequent joins like:
select * from t1, t2 where t1.c1=t2.c1;
select * from t1, t2 where t1.c1=t2.c2;
select * from t1, t2 where t1.c2=t2.c1;
select * from t1, t2 where t1.c2=t2.c2;
only the first join worked reliably case insensitively.
Removing the remaining pieces of the code that used order_swap() to compare
short CHAR columns, and using Charset::strnncollsp() instead.
This fixes the issue.
A non-JOIN condition like `WHERE c1=c2` (with c1 and c2 being columns of the
same table) was not collation-aware yet after the main patches for MCOL-4064.
Additionally fixing StrFilterCmd::compare*() to address this.
MCOL-4409 This patch combines VDecimal and Decimal and makes
IDB_Decimal an alias for the result class
MCOL-4409 More boilerplate reduction in Func_mod
Removed couple TSInt128::toType() methods
1. Make PredicateOperator::setOpType() function wide decimal aware.
2. Added support for wide decimal in jlf_subquery.cpp::getColumnValue()
used in scalar subqueries.
3. Fixed the column index used for fetching wide decimal values from a Row
when a wide decimal field is used in the order by clause.
1. In BatchPrimitiveProcessorJL::countThisMsg(), exit early if the
return code from primproc is non-zero.
2. For statistical window functions (stddev/var), properly handle
the case when there is only one value for the calculation.
