This reverts commit 5a9e2b77d4 in 10.5,
so it produces an error on "bad" generated columns.
Note, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 produce only warnings, for backward compatibility.
This patch allows the server to open old tables that have
"bad" generated columns (i.e. indexed virtual generated columns,
persistent generated columns) that depend on sql_mode,
for general things like SELECT, INSERT, DROP, etc.
Warning are issued in such cases.
Only these commands are now disallowed and return an error:
- CREATE TABLE introducing a "bad" generated column
- ALTER TABLE introducing a "bad" generated column
- CREATE INDEX introdicing a "bad" generated column
(i.e. adding an index on a virtual generated column
that depends on sql_mode).
Note, these commands are allowed:
- ALTER TABLE removing a "bad" generate column
- ALTER TABLE removing an index from a "bad" virtual generated column
- DROP INDEX removing an index from a "bad" virtual generated column
but only if the table does not have any "bad" columns as a result.
This change takes into account a column's GENERATED ALWAYS AS
expression dependcy on sql_mode's PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH and
NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION flags.
Indexed virtual columns as well as persistent generated columns are
now not allowed to have such dependencies to avoid inconsistent data
or index files on sql_mode changes.
So an error is now returned in cases like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->VARCHAR or CHAR->TEXT = ERROR
);
Functions RPAD() and RTRIM() can now remove dependency on
PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. So this can be used instead:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (RTRIM(a)) PERSISTENT
);
Note, unlike CHAR->VARCHAR and CHAR->TEXT this still works,
not RPAD(a) is needed:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v CHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->CHAR is OK
);
More sql_mode flags may affect values of generated columns.
They will be addressed separately.
See comments in sql_mode.h for implementation details.
