The patch for SYS_REFCURSOR (MDEV-20034) overrode these methods:
- Item_func_case_searched::check_arguments()
- Item_func_if::check_arguments()
to validate WHEN-style arguments (e.g. args[0] in case of IF) for being
able to return a boolean result.
However, this unintentionally removed the test for the THEN-style arguments
that they are not expressions of the ROW data type.
This led to a crash inside Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_result
on a DBUG_ASSERT that arguments are not of the ROW data type.
Fix:
The fix restores blocking ROW expressions in the not supported cases,
to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT and to raise an SQL error instead.
Blocking ROW_RESULT expressions is done per Item_func_case_expression
descendant individually, instead of blocking any ROW_RESULT arguments
at the Item_func_case_expression level.
The fix is done taking into account the upcoming patch for associative arrays
(MDEV-34319). It should be possible to pass associative array expressions into
some hybrid type functions, where ROW type expressions are not possible.
As a side effect, some lecagy ER_OPERAND_COLUMNS changed to
a newer ER_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_DATA_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION
Changes in the top affected class Item_func_case_expression:
- item_func.h:
Overriding Item_func_case_expression::check_arguments() to return false,
without checking any arguments. Descendant validate arguments
in a various different ways. No needs to block all non-scalar data type at
this level, to prevent disallowing associative arrays.
Changes in descendants:
- item_cmpfunc.cc:
Adding a test in Item_func_case_simple::aggregate_switch_and_when_arguments()
preventing passing ROW_RESULT expression in predicant and WHEN in a
simple CASE:
CASE predicant WHEN when1 THEN .. WHEN when2 THEN .. END;
This is not supported yet. Should be preferrably fixed before MDEV-34319.
- item_cmpfunc.cc:
Calling args[0]->type_handler()->Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes()
from Item_func_nullif::fix_length_and_dec().
This prevents a ROW expression to be passed to args[0] of NULLIF().
But will allow to pass associative arrays.
args[1] is still only checked to be comparable with args[0].
No needs to add additional tests for it.
- item_cmpfunc.h:
Adding a call for Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() in
Item_func_case_abbreviation2::cache_type_info().
This prevents calling the descendant functions with
a ROW expression in combination with an explicit NULL
in the THEN-style arguments (but will allow to pass associative arrays):
IFNULL(row_expression, NULL)
IFNULL(NULL, row_expression)
IF(switch, row_expression, NULL)
IF(switch, NULL, row_expression)
NVL2(switch, row_expression, NULL)
NVL2(switch, NULL, row_expression)
Adding a THD* argument into involved methods.
- item_cmpfunc.h:
Overriding Item_func_case_abbreviation2_switch::check_arguments() to
check that the first argument in IF() and NVL2() can return bool.
Removing Item_func_if::check_arguments(), as it become redundant.
- sql_type.cc:
Fixing sql_type.cc not to disallow items[0] with ROW_RESULT.
This makes it call Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() at the end,
which block ROW arguments into THEN-style arguments of hybrid functions.
But this will allow to pass Type_handler_assoc_array expressions.
- sql_type.cc:
Changing Type_handler_row::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes to raise the
ER_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_DATA_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION error instead of the DBUG_ASSERT.
This patch adds support for SYS_REFCURSOR (a weakly typed cursor)
for both sql_mode=ORACLE and sql_mode=DEFAULT.
Works as a regular stored routine variable, parameter and return value:
- can be passed as an IN parameter to stored functions and procedures
- can be passed as an INOUT and OUT parameter to stored procedures
- can be returned from a stored function
Note, strongly typed REF CURSOR will be added separately.
Note, to maintain dependencies easier, some parts of sql_class.h
and item.h were moved to new header files:
- select_results.h:
class select_result_sink
class select_result
class select_result_interceptor
- sp_cursor.h:
class sp_cursor_statistics
class sp_cursor
- sp_rcontext_handler.h
class Sp_rcontext_handler and its descendants
The implementation consists of the following parts:
- A new class sp_cursor_array deriving from Dynamic_array
- A new class Statement_rcontext which contains data shared
between sub-statements of a compound statement.
It has a member m_statement_cursors of the sp_cursor_array data type,
as well as open cursor counter. THD inherits from Statement_rcontext.
- A new data type handler Type_handler_sys_refcursor in plugins/type_cursor/
It is designed to store uint16 references -
positions of the cursor in THD::m_statement_cursors.
- Type_handler_sys_refcursor suppresses some derived numeric features.
When a SYS_REFCURSOR variable is used as an integer an error is raised.
- A new abstract class sp_instr_fetch_cursor. It's needed to share
the common code between "OPEN cur" (for static cursors) and
"OPER cur FOR stmt" (for SYS_REFCURSORs).
- New sp_instr classes:
* sp_instr_copen_by_ref - OPEN sys_ref_curor FOR stmt;
* sp_instr_cfetch_by_ref - FETCH sys_ref_cursor INTO targets;
* sp_instr_cclose_by_ref - CLOSE sys_ref_cursor;
* sp_instr_destruct_variable - to destruct SYS_REFCURSOR variables when
the execution goes out of the BEGIN..END block
where SYS_REFCURSOR variables are declared.
- New methods in LEX:
* sp_open_cursor_for_stmt - handles "OPEN sys_ref_cursor FOR stmt".
* sp_add_instr_fetch_cursor - "FETCH cur INTO targets" for both
static cursors and SYS_REFCURSORs.
* sp_close - handles "CLOSE cur" both for static cursors and SYS_REFCURSORs.
- Changes in cursor functions to handle both static cursors and SYS_REFCURSORs:
* Item_func_cursor_isopen
* Item_func_cursor_found
* Item_func_cursor_notfound
* Item_func_cursor_rowcount
- A new system variable @@max_open_cursors - to limit the number
of cursors (static and SYS_REFCURSORs) opened at the same time.
Its allowed range is [0-65536], with 50 by default.
- A new virtual method Type_handler::can_return_bool() telling
if calling item->val_bool() is allowed for Items of this data type,
or if otherwise the "Illegal parameter for operation" error should be raised
at fix_fields() time.
- New methods in Sp_rcontext_handler:
* get_cursor()
* get_cursor_by_ref()
- A new class Sp_rcontext_handler_statement to handle top level statement
wide cursors which are shared by all substatements.
- A new virtual method expr_event_handler() in classes Item and Field.
It's needed to close (and make available for a new OPEN)
unused THD::m_statement_cursors elements which do not have any references
any more. It can happen in various moments in time, e.g.
* after evaluation parameters of an SQL routine
* after assigning a cursor expression into a SYS_REFCURSOR variable
* when leaving a BEGIN..END block with SYS_REFCURSOR variables
* after setting OUT/INOUT routine actual parameters from formal
parameters.
Disallow range optimization for BETWEEN when casting one of the arguments
from STRING to a numeric type would be required to construct a range for
the query.
Adds a new method on Item_func_between called can_optimize_range_const
which allows range optimization when the types of the arguments to BETWEEN
would permit it.
During optimize_cond, we incorrectly removed the NOT LIKE condition when
attempting to remove any equality conditions.
Item_func_like's override of eq_cmp_result() returns COND_TRUE when
its collation is the binary collation. Item_bool_func2's implementation
of remove_eq_conds would then attempt to detect if both arguments were
equal to one another and return a NULL condition to optimize_conds. This
removes the condition from ever being evaluated (and
Item_func_like::val_bool is never called in this case), rendering the
incorrect result.
Fix this by checking the negated condition during eq_cmp_result() to
return either COND_FALSE in the negated==true case, or COND_TRUE in the
negated==false case which has the effect of not removing the NOT LIKE/LIKE
condition for the query.
normalize_cond() translated `WHERE col` into `WHERE col<>0`
But the opetator "not equal to 0" does not necessarily exists
for all data types.
For example, the query:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col;
was translated to:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col<>0;
which further failed with this error:
ERROR : Illegal parameter data types inet6 and bigint for operation '<>'
This patch changes the translation from `col<>0` to `col IS TRUE`.
So now
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col;
gets translated to:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col IS TRUE;
Details:
1. Implementing methods:
- Field_longstr::val_bool()
- Field_string::val_bool()
- Item::val_int_from_val_str()
If the input contains bad data,
these methods raise a better error message:
Truncated incorrect BOOLEAN value
Before the change, the error was:
Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value
2. Fixing normalize_cond() to generate Item_func_istrue/Item_func_isfalse
instances instead of Item_func_ne/Item_func_eq
3. Making Item_func_truth sargable, so it uses the range optimizer.
Implementing the following methods:
- get_mm_tree(), get_mm_leaf(), add_key_fields() in Item_func_truth.
- get_func_mm_tree(), for all Item_func_truth descendants.
4. Implementing the method negated_item() for all Item_func_truth
descendants, so the negated item has a chance to be sargable:
For example,
WHERE NOT col IS NOT FALSE -- this notation is not sargable
is now translated to:
WHERE col IS FALSE -- this notation is sargable
(Review input addressed)
After this patch, the optimizer can handle virtual column expressions
in WHERE/ON clauses. If the table has an indexed virtual column:
ALTER TABLE t1
ADD COLUMN vcol INT AS (col1+1),
ADD INDEX idx1(vcol);
and the query uses the exact virtual column expression:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE col1+1 <= 100
then the optimizer will be able use index idx1 for it.
This is achieved by walking the WHERE/ON clauses and replacing instances
of virtual column expression (like "col1+1" above) with virtual column's
Item_field (like "vcol"). The latter can be processed by the optimizer.
Replacement is considered (and done) only in items that are potentially
usable to the range optimizer.
Make Item_func_eq of the following forms sargable by updating the relevant range
analysis methods:
1. substr(col, 1, n) = str
2. str = substr(col, 1, n)
3. left(col, n) = str
4. str = left(col, n)
where col is a indexed column and str is a const and inexpensive item
of length n.
We do this by factoring out Item_func_like::get_mm_leaf() and apply it
to a string obtained from escaping str and then appending a wildcard
"%" to it.
The addition of the two Functype enums, LEFT_FUNC and SUBSTR_FUNC,
requires changes in the spider group by handler to continue handling
LEFT and SUBSTR correctly.

MDEV-34348: MariaDB is violating clang-16 -Wcast-function-type-strict
The functions queue_compare, qsort2_cmp, and qsort_cmp2
all had similar interfaces, and were used interchangable
and unsafely cast to one another.
This patch consolidates the functions all into the
qsort_cmp2 interface.

- Moving the check_cols(1) test from fix_fields() to fix_length_and_dec().
So the test is now done before the code calling val_decimal()
in fix_length_and_dec().
- Removing Item_func_interval::fix_fields(), as it become equal
to the inherited one.
Search conditions were evaluated using val_int(), which was wrong.
Fixing the code to use val_bool() instead.
Details:
- Adding a new item_base_t::IS_COND flag which marks Items used
as <search condition> in WHERE, HAVING, JOIN ON, CASE WHEN clauses.
The flag is at the parse time.
These expressions must be evaluated using val_bool() rather than val_int().
Note, the optimizer creates more Items which are used as search conditions.
Most of these items are not marked with IS_COND yet. This is OK for now,
but eventually these Items can also be fixed to have the flag.
- Adding a method Item::is_cond() which tests if the Item has the IS_COND flag.
- Implementing Item_cache_bool. It evaluates the cached expression using
val_bool() rather than val_int().
Overriding Type_handler_bool::Item_get_cache() to create Item_cache_bool.
- Implementing Item::save_bool_in_field(). It uses val_bool() rather than
val_int() to evaluate the expression.
- Implementing Type_handler_bool::Item_save_in_field()
using Item::save_bool_in_field().
- Fixing all Item_bool_func descendants to implement a virtual val_bool()
rather than a virtual val_int().

Item_str_func
Item_datefunc
Item_timefunc
Item_datetimefunc
Item_cache_bool
Item_bool_func
Item_func_hybrid_field_type

to use val_bool() instead of val_int().
New runtime type diagnostic (MDEV-34490) has detected that classes
Item_func_eq, Item_default_value and Item_date_literal_for_invalid_dates
incorrectly return an instance of its ancestor classes when being cloned.
This commit fixes that.
Additionally, it fixes a bug at Item_func_case_simple::do_build_clone()
which led to an endless loop of cloning functions calls.
Reviewer: Oleksandr Byelkin <sanja@mariadb.com>
The `Item` class methods `get_copy()`, `build_clone()`, and `clone_item()`
face an issue where they may be defined in a descendant class
(e.g., `Item_func`) but not in a further descendant (e.g., `Item_func_child`).
This can lead to scenarios where `build_clone()`, when operating on an
instance of `Item_func_child` with a pointer to the base class (`Item`),
returns an instance of `Item_func` instead of `Item_func_child`.
Since this limitation cannot be resolved at compile time, this commit
introduces runtime type checks for the copy/clone operations.
A debug assertion will now trigger in case of a type mismatch.
`get_copy()`, `build_clone()`, and `clone_item()` are no more virtual,
but virtual `do_get_copy()`, `do_build_clone()`, and `do_clone_item()`
are added to the protected section of the class `Item`.
Additionally, const qualifiers have been added to certain methods
to enhance code reliability.
Reviewer: Oleksandr Byelkin <sanja@mariadb.com>
Regexp_processor_pcre::fix_owner() called Regexp_processor_pcre::compile(),
which could fail on the regex syntax error in the pattern and put
an error into the diagnostics area. However, the callers:
- Item_func_regex::fix_length_and_dec()
- Item_func_regexp_instr::fix_length_and_dec()
still returned "false" in such cases, which made the code
crash later inside Diagnostics_area::set_ok_status().
Fix:
- Change the return type of fix_onwer() from "void" to "bool"
and return "true" whenever an error is put to the DA
(e.g. on the syntax error in the pattern).
- Fixing fix_length_and_dec() of the mentioned Item_func_xxx
classes to return "true" if fix_onwer() returned "true".
