Introducing a new class Type_holder (used internally in sql_union.cc),
to reuse exactly the same data type attribute aggregation Type_handler API
for hybrid functions and UNION.
This fixes a number of bugs in UNION:
- MDEV-9495 Wrong field type for a UNION of a signed and an unsigned INT expression
- MDEV-9497 UNION and COALESCE produce different field types for DECIMAL+INT
- MDEV-12594 UNION between fixed length double columns does not always preserve scale
- MDEV-12595 UNION converts INT to BIGINT
- MDEV-12599 UNION is not symmetric when mixing INT and CHAR
Details:
- sql_union.cc: Reusing attribute aggregation for UNION.
Adding new methods:
* st_select_lex_unit::join_union_type_handlers()
* st_select_lex_unit::join_union_type_attributes()
* st_select_lex_unit::join_union_item_types()
Removing the old join_types()-based code.
- Changing Type_handler::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes()
to accept "name", Type_handler_hybrid_field_type, Type_all_attributes
as three separate parameters instead of a single Item_hybrid_func parameter,
to make it possible to pass both Item_hybrid_func and Type_holder.
- Moving the former special GEOMETRY and ENUM/SET attribute aggregation code
from Item_type_holder::join_types() to
* Type_handler_typelib::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes().
* Type_handler_geometry::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attrubutes().
This makes GEOMETRY/ENUM/SET symmetric with all other data types
(from the UNION point of view).
Removing Item_type_holder::join_types() and Item_type_holder::get_full_info().
- Adding new methods into Type_all_attributes:
* Type_all_attributes::set_geometry_type() and
Item_hybrid_func::set_geometry_type().
* Adding Type_all_attributes::get_typelib().
* Adding Type_all_attributes::set_typelib().
- Adding Type_handler_typelib as a common parent for
Type_handler_enum and Type_handler_set, to avoid code duplication: they have
already had two common methods, and we're adding one more shared method.
- Adding Type_all_attributes::set_maybe_null(), as some type handlers
may want to set maybe_null (e.g. Type_handler_geometry) during data type
attribute aggregation.
- Changing Type_geometry_attributes() to accept Type_handler
and Type_all_attributes as two separate parameters, instead
of a single Item parameter, to make it possible to pass Type_holder.
- Adding Item_args::add_argument().
- Moving Item_args::alloc_arguments() from "protected" to "public".
- Moving Item_type_holder::Item_type_holder() from item.cc to item.h, as
now it's very simple.
Btw, this constructor should probably be eventually removed.
It's now used only in sql_show.cc, which could be modified to use
Item_return_decimal (for symmetry with Item_return_xxx created for all
other data types). Or, another option: remove all Item_return_xxx and
use Item_type_holder for all data types instead.

Here's what started happening after the patch that fixed
the bug mdev-10454 with query reported for the bug
SELECT * FROM t t1 right JOIN t t2 ON (t2.pk = t1.pk)
WHERE (t2.i, t2.pk) NOT IN ( SELECT t3.i, t3.i FROM t t3, t t4 )
AND t1.c = 'foo';
The patch added an implementation of propagate_equal_fields() for
the class Item_row and thus opened the possibility of equal fields
substitutions.
At the prepare stage after setup_conds() called for WHERE condition
had completed the flag of maybe_null of the Item_row object created
for (t2.i, t2.pk) was set to false, because the maybe_null flags of
both elements were set to false. However the flag of maybe_null for
t1.pk from the ON condition were set to true, because t1 was an inner
table of an outer join.
At the optimization stage the outer join was converted to inner join,
but the maybe_null flags were not corrected and remained the same.
So after the substitution t2.pk/t1.pk. the maybe_null flag for the
row remained false while the maybe_flag for the second element of
the row was true. As a result, when the in-to_exists transformation
was performed for the NOT IN predicate the guards variables were
not created for the elements of the row, but a guard object for
the second element was created. The object were not valid because
it referred to NULL as a guard variable. This ultimately caused
a crash when the expression with the guard was evaluated at the
execution stage.
The patch made sure that the guard objects are not created without
guard variables.
Yet it does not resolve the problem of inconsistent maybe_null flags.
and it might be that the problem will pop op in other pieces of code.
The resolution of this problem is not easy, but the problem should
be resolved in future versions.
it's not enough to look for NOT NULL IS, this also fails queries like
SELECT NOT NULL <=> NULL;
and adds no value anymore, as the grammar now requires parentheses
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function
This change refactors the "table_expression" rule in sql_yacc.yy.
Queries with subselects and derived tables, as well as "CREATE TABLE ... SELECT"
now return syntax error instead of "Incorrect usage of PROCEDURE and ...".
