Syntax for CONVERT TABLE
ALTER TABLE tbl_name CONVERT TABLE tbl_name TO PARTITION partition_name partition_spec
Examples:
ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TABLE tp2 TO PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN MAX_VALUE();
New ALTER_PARTITION_CONVERT_IN command for
fast_alter_partition_table() is done in alter_partition_convert_in()
function which basically does ha_rename_table().
Table structure and data check is basically the same as in EXCHANGE
PARTITION command. And these are done by
compare_table_with_partition() and check_table_data().
Atomic DDL is done by the scheme from MDEV-22166 (see the
corresponding commit message). The only differnce is that it also has
to drop source table frm and that is done by WFRM_DROP_CONVERTED_FROM.
Initial patch was done by Dmitry Shulga <dmitry.shulga@mariadb.com>
The reason for this is to make all temporary file names similar and
also to be able to figure out from where a #sql-xxx name orginates.
New format is for most cases:
'#sql-name-current_pid-thread_id[-increment]'
Where name is one of subselect, alter, exchange, temptable or backup
The exceptions are:
ALTER PARTITION shadow files:
'#sql-shadow-thread_id-'original_table_name'
Names used with temp pool:
'#sql-name-current_pid-pool_number'
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function
