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>
Syntax for CONVERT keyword
ALTER TABLE tbl_name
[alter_option [, alter_option] ...] |
[partition_options]
partition_option: {
...
| CONVERT PARTITION partition_name TO TABLE tbl_name
}
Examples:
ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT PARTITION p2 TO TABLE tp2;
New ALTER_PARTITION_CONVERT_OUT command for
fast_alter_partition_table() is done in alter_partition_convert_out()
function which basically does ha_rename_table().
Partition to extract is marked with the same flag as dropped
partition: PART_TO_BE_DROPPED. Note that we cannot have multiple
partitioning commands in one ALTER.
For DDL logging basically the principle is the same as for other
fast_alter_partition_table() commands. The only difference is that it
integrates late Atomic DDL functions and introduces additional phase
of WFRM_BACKUP_ORIGINAL. That is required for binlog consistency
because otherwise we could not revert back after WFRM_INSTALL_SHADOW
is done. And before DDL log is complete if we crash or fail the
altered table will be already new but binlog will miss that ALTER
command. Note that this is different from all other atomic DDL in that
it rolls back until the ddl_log_complete() is done even if everything
was done fully before the crash.
Test cases added to:
parts.alter_table \
parts.partition_debug \
versioning.partition \
atomic.alter_partition
