When a column is added to an non-empty table, existing rows will have
a column's default value for existing rows. Or a "zero value" if the
column has no default.
But this check should be skipped when an existing column is altered.
Fixed by adding a MDL_BACKUP_COMMIT lock before altering temporary tables
whose creation was logged to binary log (in which case the ALTER TABLE
must also be logged)
Problem:
The problem happened because of a conceptual flaw in the server code:
a. The table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause affected all data types,
including numeric and temporal ones:
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT) CHARACTER SET utf8 [COLLATE utf8_general_ci];
In the above example, the Column_definition_attributes
(and then the FRM record) for the column "a" erroneously inherited
"utf8" as its character set.
b. The "ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET csname" statement
also erroneously affected Column_definition_attributes::charset
for numeric and temporal data types and wrote "csname" as their
character set into FRM files.
So now we have arbitrary non-relevant charset ID values for numeric
and temporal data types in all FRM files in the world :)
The code in the server and the other engines did not seem to be affected
by this flaw. Only InnoDB inplace ALTER was affected.
Solution:
Fixing the code in the way that only character string data types
(CHAR,VARCHAR,TEXT,ENUM,SET):
- inherit the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause
- get the charset value according to "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET csname".
Numeric and temporal data types now always get &my_charset_numeric
in Column_definition_attributes::charset and always write its ID into FRM files:
- no matter what the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause is, and
- no matter what "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET" says.
Details:
1. Adding helper classes to pass small parts of HA_CREATE_INFO
into Type_handler methods:
- Column_derived_attributes - to pass table level CHARSET/COLLATE,
so columns that do not have explicit CHARSET/COLLATE clauses
can derive them from the table level, e.g.
CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(1), b CHAR(1)) CHARACTER SET utf8;
- Column_bulk_alter_attributes - to pass bulk attribute changes
generated by the ALTER related code. These bulk changes affect
multiple columns at the same time:
ALTER TABLE ... CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET csname;
Note, passing the whole HA_CREATE_INFO directly to Type_handler
would not be good: HA_CREATE_INFO is huge and would need not desired
dependencies in sql_type.h and sql_type.cc. The Type_handler API should
use smallest possible data types!
2. Type_handler::Column_definition_prepare_stage1() is now responsible
to set Column_definition::charset properly, according to the data type,
for example:
- For string data types, Column_definition_attributes::charset is set from
the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause (if not specified explicitly in
the column definition).
- For numeric and temporal fields, Column_definition_attributes::charset is
set to &my_charset_numeric, no matter what the table level
CHARSET/COLLATE says.
- For GEOMETRY, Column_definition_attributes::charset is set to
&my_charset_bin, no matter what the table level CHARSET/COLLATE says.
Previously this code (setting `charset`) was outside of of
Column_definition_prepare_stage1(), namely in
mysql_prepare_create_table(), and was erroneously called for
all data types.
3. Adding Type_handler::Column_definition_bulk_alter(), to handle
"ALTER TABLE .. CONVERT TO". Previously this code was inside
get_sql_field_charset() and was erroneously called for all data types.
4. Removing the Schema_specification_st parameter from
Type_handler::Column_definition_redefine_stage1().
Column_definition_attributes::charset is now fully properly initialized by
Column_definition_prepare_stage1(). So we don't need access to the
table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause in Column_definition_redefine_stage1()
any more.
5. Other changes:
- Removing global function get_sql_field_charset()
- Moving the part of the former get_sql_field_charset(), which was
responsible to inherit the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause to
new methods:
-- Column_definition_attributes::explicit_or_derived_charset() and
-- Column_definition::prepare_charset_for_string().
This code is only needed for string data types.
Previously it was erroneously called for all data types.
- Moving another part, which was responsible to apply the
"CONVERT TO" clause, to
Type_handler_general_purpose_string::Column_definition_bulk_alter().
- Replacing the call for get_sql_field_charset() in sql_partition.cc
to sql_field->explicit_or_derived_charset() - it is perfectly enough.
The old code was redundant: get_sql_field_charset() was called from
sql_partition.cc only when there were no a "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET"
clause involved, so its purpose was only to inherit the table
level CHARSET/COLLATE clause.
- Moving the code handling the BINCMP_FLAG flag from
mysql_prepare_create_table() to
Column_definition::prepare_charset_for_string():
This code is responsible to resolve the BINARY comparison style
into the corresponding _bin collation, to do the following transparent
rewrite:
CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(10) BINARY) CHARSET utf8; ->
CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin);
This code is only needed for string data types.
Previously it was erroneously called for all data types.
6. Renaming Table_scope_and_contents_source_pod_st::table_charset
to alter_table_convert_to_charset, because the only purpose it's used for
is handlering "ALTER .. CONVERT". The new name is much more self-descriptive.
partially revert 76063c2a13. Item::clone() is not an all-purpose
Item copying machine, it was specifically created for pushdown
of predicates into derived tables and views and it does not
copy everything. In particular, it does not copy Item_func_regex.
Fix the bug differently by preserving the old constraint name.
But keep setting automatic_name=true to have it regenerated
for cases like ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT.
* be strict in CREATE TABLE, just like in ALTER TABLE, because
CREATE TABLE, just like ALTER TABLE, can be rolled back for any engine
* but don't auto-convert warnings into errors for engine warnings
(handler::create) - this matches ALTER TABLE behavior
* and not when creating a default record, these errors are handled
specially (and replaced with ER_INVALID_DEFAULT)
* always issue a Note when a non-unique key is truncated, because it's
not a Warning that can be converted to an Error. Before this commit
it was a Note for blobs and a Warning for all other data types.
- Remove row_start/row_end from keys in fix_create_like();
- Disable manual adding of implicit row_start/row_end to indexes on
CREATE TABLE. INVISIBLE_SYSTEM fields are unoperable by user;
- Fix memory leak on allocation of Key_part_spec.

MDEV-22674 Server crash in compare_bin ... restore_table_state_after_repair
The bug was that the 'can_enable_index' variable in MyISAM and Aria was
not properly set and reset for bulk insert.
Because of this, insert...select was trying to recreate indexes while
another thread was using it, causing crashes in page cache.
An instant ADD/DROP/reorder column could create a dummy table
object with the wrong ROW_FORMAT when innodb_default_row_format
was changed between CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE.
prepare_inplace_alter_table_dict(): If we had promised that
ALGORITHM=INPLACE is supported, we must preserve the ROW_FORMAT.
dict_table_t::prepare_instant(): Add debug assertions to catch
ROW_FORMAT mismatch.
The rest of the changes are related to adding
Alter_inplace_info::inplace_supported to cache the return value of
handler::check_if_supported_inplace_alter().
copy_data_between_tables() sets to->s->default_fields to 0, as a part
of the code disabling ON UPDATE actions for all old fields
(so ON UPDATE is enable only for new fields during copying).
After the actual copying, copy_data_between_tables() did not restore
to->s->default_fields to the original value. As a result, the
TABLE_SHARE to->s was left in a wrong state after copy_data_between_tables()
and further open_table_from_share() using this TABLE_SHARE did not
populate TABLE::default_field, which further made
TABLE::evaluate_update_default_function() crash on access to NULL
pointer.
Fix:
Changing copy_data_between_tables() to restore to->s->default_fields
to its original value after the copying loop.
Respect system fields in NO_ZERO_DATE mode.

Conflict resolution from 7d5223310789f967106d86ce193ef31b315ecff0
MDEV-21398 Deadlock (server hang) or assertion failure in
Diagnostics_area::set_error_status upon ALTER under lock
This failure could only happen if one locked the same table
multiple times and then did an ALTER TABLE on the table.
Major change is to change all instances of
table->m_needs_reopen= true;
to
table->mark_table_for_reopen();
The main fix for the problem was to ensure that we mark all
instances of the table in the locked_table_list and when we
reopen the tables, we first close all tables before reopening
and locking them.
Other things:
- Don't call thd->locked_tables_list.reopen_tables if there
are no tables marked for reopen. (performance)
- ALTER_ALGORITHM should be substituted when there is no mention of
algorithm in alter statement.
- Introduced algorithm(thd) in Alter_info. It returns the
user requested algorithm. If user doesn't specify algorithm explicitly then
it returns alter_algorithm variable.
- changed algorithm() to get_algorithm(thd) to return algorithm name for
displaying the error.
- set_requested_algorithm(algo_value) to avoid direct assignment on
requested_algorithm variable.
- Avoid direct access of requested_algorithm to encapsulate
requested_algorithm variable
- Inplace alter shouldn't set default date column as '0000-00-00' when
table is not empty. So mysql_inplace_alter_table() copied
alter_ctx.error_if_not_empty to a new field of Alter_inplace_info.
In ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() should check the
error_if_not_empty flag and return INPLACE_NOT_SUPPORTED if the table
is not empty
This is a backport of the applicable part of
commit 93475aff8de80a0ef53cbee924bcb70de6e86f2c and
commit 2c39f69d34e64a5cf94720e82e78c0ee91bd4649
from 10.4.
Before 10.4 and Galera 4, WSREP_ON is a macro that points to
a global Boolean variable, so it is not that expensive to
evaluate, but we will add an unlikely() hint around it.
WSREP_ON_NEW: Remove. This macro was introduced in
commit c863159c320008676aff978a7cdde5732678f975
when reverting WSREP_ON to its previous definition.
We replace some use of WSREP_ON with WSREP(thd), like it was done
in 93475aff8de80a0ef53cbee924bcb70de6e86f2c. Note: the macro
WSREP() in 10.1 is equivalent to WSREP_NNULL() in 10.4.
Item_func_rand::seed_random(): Avoid invoking current_thd
when WSREP is not enabled.
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8cc42d27c72d833abfb39ef24a2b96ba because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e463549e4bbc2ce6ab720d78937d5e5db4e.
