Turning REGEXP_REPLACE into two schema-qualified functions:
- mariadb_schema.regexp_replace()
- oracle_schema.regexp_replace()
Fixing oracle_schema.regexp_replace(subj,pattern,replacement) to treat
NULL in "replacement" as an empty string.
Adding new classes implementing oracle_schema.regexp_replace():
- Item_func_regexp_replace_oracle
- Create_func_regexp_replace_oracle
Adding helper methods:
- String *Item::val_str_null_to_empty(String *to)
- String *Item::val_str_null_to_empty(String *to, bool null_to_empty)
and reusing these methods in both Item_func_replace and
Item_func_regexp_replace.
The crash happened with an indexed virtual column whose
value is evaluated using a function that has a different meaning
in sql_mode='' vs sql_mode=ORACLE:
- DECODE()
- LTRIM()
- RTRIM()
- LPAD()
- RPAD()
- REPLACE()
- SUBSTR()
For example:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
b VARCHAR(1),
g CHAR(1) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (SUBSTR(b,0,0)) VIRTUAL,
KEY g(g)
);
So far we had replacement XXX_ORACLE() functions for all mentioned function,
e.g. SUBSTR_ORACLE() for SUBSTR(). So it was possible to correctly re-parse
SUBSTR_ORACLE() even in sql_mode=''.
But it was not possible to re-parse the MariaDB version of SUBSTR()
after switching to sql_mode=ORACLE. It was erroneously mis-interpreted
as SUBSTR_ORACLE().
As a result, this combination worked fine:
SET sql_mode=ORACLE;
CREATE TABLE t1 ... g CHAR(1) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (SUBSTR(b,0,0)) VIRTUAL, ...;
INSERT ...
FLUSH TABLES;
SET sql_mode='';
INSERT ...
But the other way around it crashed:
SET sql_mode='';
CREATE TABLE t1 ... g CHAR(1) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (SUBSTR(b,0,0)) VIRTUAL, ...;
INSERT ...
FLUSH TABLES;
SET sql_mode=ORACLE;
INSERT ...
At CREATE time, SUBSTR was instantiated as Item_func_substr and printed
in the FRM file as substr(). At re-open time with sql_mode=ORACLE, "substr()"
was erroneously instantiated as Item_func_substr_oracle.
Fix:
The fix proposes a symmetric solution. It provides a way to re-parse reliably
all sql_mode dependent functions to their original CREATE TABLE time meaning,
no matter what the open-time sql_mode is.
We take advantage of the same idea we previously used to resolve sql_mode
dependent data types.
Now all sql_mode dependent functions are printed by SHOW using a schema
qualifier when the current sql_mode differs from the function sql_mode:
SET sql_mode='';
CREATE TABLE t1 ... SUBSTR(a,b,c) ..;
SET sql_mode=ORACLE;
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1; -> mariadb_schema.substr(a,b,c)
SET sql_mode=ORACLE;
CREATE TABLE t2 ... SUBSTR(a,b,c) ..;
SET sql_mode='';
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1; -> oracle_schema.substr(a,b,c)
Old replacement names like substr_oracle() are still understood for
backward compatibility and used in FRM files (for downgrade compatibility),
but they are not printed by SHOW any more.
