Allow auto partitioning by interval in PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS
PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS (col_name)
INTERVAL interval [AUTO]
(
PARTITION partition_name VALUES LESS THAN (value)
[, PARTITION partition_name VALUES LESS THAN (value) ... ]
)
where
- col_name is the name of one column of type DATE or DATETIME or
TIMESTAMP
- at least one partition is supplied, and the highest partition cannot
have MAXVALUE range
- INTERVAL interval is a positive time interval. it can be mariadb
format or oracle NUMTODSINTERVAL/NUMTOYMINTERVAL format. Like
versioning, the smallest unit is second, i.e. no subsecond like
microsecond.
- DATE column cannot have interval with values less than a day
- Subpartitions are allowed, but restricted to existing subpartition
types, i.e. [LINEAR] (KEY|HASH)
When performing one of the following DML statements on such a table,
it will first add partitions by the specified interval until the
partition covers the current time:
- INSERT
- INSERT ... SELECT
- LOAD
- UPDATE
- REPLACE
- REPLACE ... SELECT
Partition addition will not cause an implicit commit like DDL normally
does.
The partitions are named pN.
Otherwise the table behaves exactly the same as a normal RANGE COLUMNS
partitioned table.
Note that TIMESTAMP is not allowed as a type for PARTITION BY RANGE
COLUMNS otherwise.
Including the following fixes:
1.
MDEV-40088 Disallow subqueries in INTERVAL clause in range interval auto partitioning
This is consistent with system time (versioning) partitioning. Also
consistent is that both allow expressions otherwise.
2.
MDEV-40048 Allow trigger and LOCK TABLES to work with range interval auto partitioning
When a range interval auto partitioned table is the target of a
trigger, the triggering statement is not necessarily one that would
cause the auto-creation of new partitions, so we need to account for
that.
Also added support for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
Improved tests coverage by adapting tests from versioning.partition.
3.
MDEV-40467 Improve Y2038/2106 problem error message
When nearing the end times TIMESTAMP_MAX_VALUE, auto-partition
creation may encounter overflow when calculating new partition range.
This patch improves the message of such an overflow
