This was done after discussions with Igor, Sanja and Bar.
The main reason for removing the deprication was to ensure that MariaDB
is always backward compatible whenever possible.
Other things:
- Added statistics counters, mainly for the feedback plugin.
- INTO OUTFILE
- INTO variable
- If INTO is using the old syntax (end of query)
don't set vers_write=false if one vers column was used explicitly,
instead do vers_update_fields() for columns that do not have explicit
value. So, if row_start has the value and row_end not, row_end will
get max by default.
* clarify the help text for --system-versioning-insert-history
* move the vers_write=false check from Item_field::fix_fields()
next to other vers field checks in find_field_in_table()
* move row_start validation from handler::write_row() next to
vers_update_fields()
* make secure_timestamp check to happen in one place only,
extract it into a function is_set_timestamp_vorbidden().
* overwriting vers fields is an error, just like setting @@timestamp
* don't run vers_insert_history() for every row
1. system_versioning_insert_history session variable allows
pseudocolumns ROW_START and ROW_END be specified in INSERT,
INSERT..SELECT and LOAD DATA.
2. Cleaned up select_insert::send_data() from setting vers_write as
this parameter is now set on TABLE initialization.
4. Replication of system_versioning_insert_history via option_bits in
OPTIONS_WRITTEN_TO_BIN_LOG.
Tests started to fail after a merge of MDEV-15107 (from bb-10.2-ext to 10.3),
because MDEV-15107 additionally fixed this problem:
MDEV-15112 Inconsistent evaluation of spvariable=0 in strict mode
Modifying tests not to reply on the pre-MDEV-15112 behavior.
and the system_versioning_transaction_registry variable.
The user enables transaction registry by specifying BIGINT for
row_start/row_end columns.
check mysql.transaction_registry structure on the first open,
not on startup. Avoid warnings unless transaction_registry
is actually used.
Many related changes.
Note that AS OF condition must always be pushed down to physical tables,
it cannot be applied to a derived or a view. Thus:
* no versioning for internal temporary tables, they can never store
historical data.
* remove special versioning code from mysql_derived_prepare and
remove ER_VERS_DERIVED_PROHIBITED - derived can have no historical
data and cannot be prohibited for system versioning related reasons.
* do not expand select list for derived/views with sys vers fields,
derived/views can never have historical data.
* remove special invisiblity rules for sys vers fields, they are no
longer needed after the previous change
* remove system_versioning_hide, it lost the meaning after the
previous change.
* remove ER_VERS_SYSTEM_TIME_CLASH, it's no "clash", the inner
AS OF clause always wins.
* non-versioned fields in a historical query
reword the warning text, downgrade to note, don't
replace values with NULLs
* sys fields are NULL by default (with exceptions, see comment about NOT_NULL_FLAG in #77);
* error codes renamed, messages cleared out;
* SHOW CREATE TABLE fixed;
* set_max() fix;
* redundant flag setters/getters removed;
* flags are set in sql_yacc.yy, redundant copy_info_about_generated_fields() eliminated.
