Feature Definition:-
This feature adds invisible column functionality to server.
There is 4 level of "invisibility":
1. Not invisible (NOT_INVISIBLE) — Normal columns created by the user
2. A little bit invisible (USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE) — columns that the
user has marked invisible. They aren't shown in SELECT * and they
don't require values in INSERT table VALUE (...). Otherwise
they behave as normal columns.
3. More invisible (SYSTEM_INVISIBLE) — Can be queried explicitly,
otherwise invisible from everything. Think ROWID sytem column.
Because they're invisible from ALTER TABLE and from CREATE TABLE
they cannot be created or dropped, they're created by the system.
User cant not create a column name which is same as of
SYSTEM_INVISIBLE.
4. Very invisible (COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE) — as above, but cannot be
queried either. They can only show up in EXPLAIN EXTENDED (might
be possible for a very invisible indexed virtual column) but
otherwise they don't exist for the user.If user creates a columns
which has same name as of COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE then
COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE column is renamed again. So it is completely
invisible from user.
Invisible Index(HA_INVISIBLE_KEY):-
Creation of invisible columns require a new type of index which
will be only visible to system. User cant see/alter/create/delete
this index. If user creates a index which is same name as of
invisible index then it will be renamed.
Syntax Details:-
Only USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE column can be created by user. This
can be created by adding INVISIBLE suffix after column definition.
Create table t1( a int invisible, b int);
Rules:-
There are some rules/restrictions related to use of invisible columns
1. All the columns in table cant be invisible.
Create table t1(a int invisible); \\error
Create table t1(a int invisible, b int invisble); \\error
2. If you want invisible column to be NOT NULL then you have to supply
Default value for the column.
Create table t1(a int, b int not null); \\error
3. If you create a view/create table with select * then this wont copy
invisible fields. So newly created view/table wont have any invisible
columns.
Create table t2 as select * from t1;//t2 wont have t1 invisible column
Create view v1 as select * from t1;//v1 wont have t1 invisible column
4. Invisibility wont be forwarded to next table in any case of create
table/view as select */(a,b,c) from table.
Create table t2 as select a,b,c from t1; // t2 will have t1 invisible
// column(b), but this wont be invisible in t2
Create view v1 as select a,b,c from t1; // v1 will have t1 invisible
// column(b), but this wont be invisible in v1
Implementation Details:-
Parsing:- INVISIBLE_SYM is added into vcol_attribute(so its like unique
suffix), It is also added into keyword_sp_not_data_type so that table
can have column with name invisible.
Implementation detail is given by each modified function/created function.
(Some function are left as they were self explanatory)
(m= Modified, n= Newly Created)
mysql_prepare_create_table(m):- Extra checks for invisible columns are
added. Also some DEBUG_EXECUTE_IF are also added for test cases.
mysql_prepare_alter_table(m):- Now this will drop all the
COMPLETELY_INVISIBLE column and HA_INVISIBLE_KEY index. Further
Modifications are made to stop drop/change/delete of SYSTEM_INVISIBLE
column.
build_frm_image(m):- Now this allows incorporating field_visibility
status into frm image. To remain compatible with old frms
field_visibility info will be only written when any of the field is
not NOT_INVISIBLE.
extra2_write_additional_field_properties(n):- This will write field
visibility info into buffer. We first write EXTRA2_FIELD_FLAGS into
buffer/frm , then each next char will have field_visibility for each
field.
init_from_binary_frm_image(m):- Now if we get EXTRA2_FIELD_FLAGS,
then we will read the next n(n= number of fields) chars and set the
field_visibility. We also increment
thd->status_var.feature_invisible_columns. One important thing to
note if we find out that key contains a field whose visibility is
> USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE then , we declare this key as invisible
key.
sql_show.cc is changed accordingly to make show table, show keys
correct.
mysql_insert(m):- If we get to know that we are doing insert in
this way insert into t1 values(1,1); without explicitly specifying
columns, then we check for if we have invisible fields if yes then
we reset the whole record, Why ? Because first we want hidden columns
to get default/null value. Second thing auto_increment has property
no default and no null which voilates invisible key rule 2, And
because of this it was giving error. Reseting table->record[0]
eliminates this issue. More info put breakpoint on handler::write_row
and see auto_increment value.
fill_record(m):- we continue loop if we find invisible column because
this is already reseted/will get its value if it is default.
Test cases:- Since we can not directly add > USER_DEFINED_INVISIBLE
column then I have debug_dbug to create it in mysql_prepare_create_table.
Patch Credit:- Serg Golubchik
LOCK_thd_data was used to protect both THD data and
ensure that the THD is not deleted while it was in use
This patch moves the THD delete protection to LOCK_thd_kill,
which already protects the THD for kill.
The benefits are:
- More well defined what LOCK_thd_data protects
- LOCK_thd_data usage is now much simpler and easier to verify
- Less chance of deadlocks in SHOW PROCESS LIST as there is less
chance of interactions between mutexes
- Remove not needed LOCK_thread_count from
thd_get_error_context_description()
- Fewer mutex taken for thd->awake()
Other things:
- Don't take mysys->var mutex in show processlist to check if thread
is kill marked
- thd->awake() now automatically takes the LOCK_thd_kill mutex
(Simplifies code)
- Apc uses LOCK_thd_kill instead of LOCK_thd_data
- Remove not used thd_rpl_is_parallel()
- Remove not used mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock()
- Remove not needed LOCK_thread_count from MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs()
- LOCK_thread_count is not protecting against rollback, so this
code and comment is not needed
- Remove mutex_locks in slave.cc that are not needed.
Added THD::assert_not_linked() to ensure that it was safe to remove
- Fixed not repeatable test load_data_stmt_view
- Updated binlog_killed to test removal of mutex
(thanks to Andrei Elkin for test)
- More code comments
This was done to get more information about where time is spent.
Now we can get proper timing for time spent in commit, rollback,
binlog write etc.
Following stages was added:
- Commit
- Commit_implicit
- Rollback
- Rollback implicit
- Binlog write
- Init for update
- This is used instead of "Init" for insert, update and delete.
- Staring cleanup
Following stages where changed:
- "Unlocking tables" stage reset stage to previous stage at end
- "binlog write" stage resets stage to previous stage at end
- "end" -> "end of update loop"
- "cleaning up" -> "Reset for next command"
- Added stage_searching_rows_for_update when searching for rows
to be deleted.
Other things:
- Renamed all stages to start with big letter (before there was no
consitency)
- Increased performance_schema_max_stage_classes from 150 to 160.
- Most of the test changes in performance schema comes from renaming of
stages.
- Removed duplicate output of variables and inital state in a lot of
performance schema tests.
This was done to make it easier to change a default value for a
performance variable without affecting all tests.
- Added start_server_variables.test to check configuration
- Removed some duplicate "closing tables" stages
- Updated position for "stage_init_update" and "stage_updating" for
delete, insert and update to be just before update loop (for more
exact timing).
- Don't set "Checking permissions" twice in a row.
- Remove stage_end stage from creating views (not done for create table
either).
- Updated default performance history size from 10 to 20 because of new
stages
- Ensure that ps_enabled is correct (to be used in a later patch)
- Fix win64 pointer truncation warnings
(usually coming from misusing 0x%lx and long cast in DBUG)
- Also fix printf-format warnings
Make the above mentioned warnings fatal.
- fix pthread_join on Windows to set return value.
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
The problem was that the introduction of max-thread-mem-used can cause
an allocation error very early, even before mysql_parse() is called.
As mysql_parse() calls thd->reset_for_next_command(), which called
clear_error(), the error number was lost.
Fixed by adding an option to have unique messages for each KILL
signal and change max-thread-mem-used to use this new feature.
This removes a lot of problems with the original approach, where
one could get errors signaled silenty almost any time.
ixed by moving clear_error() from reset_for_next_command() to
do_command(), before any memory allocation for the thread.
Related changes:
- reset_for_next_command() now have an optional parameter if we should
call clear_error() or not. By default it's called, but not anymore from
dispatch_command() which was the original problem.
- Added optional paramater to clear_error() to force calling of
reset_diagnostics_area(). Before clear_error() only called
reset_diagnostics_area() if there was no error, so we normally
called reset_diagnostics_area() twice.
- This change removed several duplicated calls to clear_error()
when starting a query.
- Reset max_mem_used on COM_QUIT, to protect against kill during
quit.
- Use fatal_error() instead of setting is_fatal_error (cleanup)
- Set fatal_error if max_thead_mem_used is signaled.
(Same logic we use for other places where we are out of resources)
CREATE/DROP TEMPORARY TABLE are not safe to optimistically replicate in
parallel with other transactions, so they need to be marked as "ddl" in the
binlog.
This was already done for stand-alone CREATE/DROP TEMPORARY. But temporary
tables can also be created and dropped inside a BEGIN...END transaction, and
such transactions were not marked as ddl. Nor was the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
statement emitted implicitly when a client connection is closed.
So this patch adds such ddl mark for the missing cases.
The difference to Kristian's original patch is mainly a fix in
mysql_trans_commit_alter_copy_data() to remember the unsafe_rollback_flags
over the temporary commit.
If the table has a varchar column and a forced fixed for format
(as in varchar.inc), Field_varstring::store() will only store the
actual number of bytes, not padded, in the record[0].
That is, on inserts a part of record[0] can be uninitialized.
Fix: initialize record[0] when a TABLE is created, it doesn't matter
what kind of garbage can be in this unused/invisible part of the
record, as long as it's not some random memory contents
(that can contain sensitive data).
The sole purpose of handlerton::release_temporary_latches and its wrapper
function was to release the InnoDB adaptive hash index latch
(btr_search_latch).
When the btr_search_latch was split into an array of latches
in MySQL 5.7.8 as part of the Oracle Bug#20985298 fix, the "caching"
of the latch across storage engine API calls was removed. As part of that,
the function trx_search_latch_release_if_reserved() was changed to an
assertion and the function trx_reserve_search_latch_if_not_reserved()
was removed, and handlerton::release_temporary_latches() practically
became a no-op.
Note: MDEV-12121 replaced the function
trx_search_latch_release_if_reserved()
with the more appropriately named macro trx_assert_no_search_latch().
sql_sequence.read_only: Show that the sequence can be read in
both read-only and read-write mode, and that the sequence remains
accessible after a server restart.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
Working features:
CREATE OR REPLACE [TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE [IF NOT EXISTS] name
[ INCREMENT [ BY | = ] increment ]
[ MINVALUE [=] minvalue | NO MINVALUE ]
[ MAXVALUE [=] maxvalue | NO MAXVALUE ]
[ START [ WITH | = ] start ] [ CACHE [=] cache ] [ [ NO ] CYCLE ]
ENGINE=xxx COMMENT=".."
SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name;
SELECT NEXTVAL(sequence_name);
SELECT PREVIOUS VALUE FOR sequence_name;
SELECT LASTVAL(sequence_name);
SHOW CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name;
SHOW CREATE TABLE sequence_name;
CREATE TABLE sequence-structure ... SEQUENCE=1
ALTER TABLE sequence RENAME TO sequence2;
RENAME TABLE sequence TO sequence2;
DROP [TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE [IF EXISTS] sequence_names
Missing features
- SETVAL(value,sequence_name), to be used with replication.
- Check replication, including checking that sequence tables are marked
not transactional.
- Check that a commit happens for NEXT VALUE that changes table data (may
already work)
- ALTER SEQUENCE. ANSI SQL version of setval.
- Share identical sequence entries to not add things twice to table list.
- testing insert/delete/update/truncate/load data
- Run and fix Alibaba sequence tests (part of mysql-test/suite/sql_sequence)
- Write documentation for NEXT VALUE / PREVIOUS_VALUE
- NEXTVAL in DEFAULT
- Ensure that NEXTVAL in DEFAULT uses database from base table
- Two NEXTVAL for same row should give same answer.
- Oracle syntax sequence_table.nextval, without any FOR or FROM.
- Sequence tables are treated as 'not read constant tables' by SELECT; Would
be better if we would have a separate list for sequence tables so that
select doesn't know about them, except if refereed to with FROM.
Other things done:
- Improved output for safemalloc backtrack
- frm_type_enum changed to Table_type
- Removed lex->is_view and replaced with lex->table_type. This allows
use to more easy check if item is view, sequence or table.
- Added table flag HA_CAN_TABLES_WITHOUT_ROLLBACK, needed for handlers
that want's to support sequences
- Added handler calls:
- engine_name(), to simplify getting engine name for partition and sequences
- update_first_row(), to be able to do efficient sequence implementations.
- Made binlog_log_row() global to be able to call it from ha_sequence.cc
- Added handler variable: row_already_logged, to be able to flag that the
changed row is already logging to replication log.
- Added CF_DB_CHANGE and CF_SCHEMA_CHANGE flags to simplify
deny_updates_if_read_only_option()
- Added sp_add_cfetch() to avoid new conflicts in sql_yacc.yy
- Moved code for add_table_options() out from sql_show.cc::show_create_table()
- Added String::append_longlong() and used it in sql_show.cc to simplify code.
- Added extra option to dd_frm_type() and ha_table_exists to indicate if
the table is a sequence. Needed by DROP SQUENCE to not drop a table.
has_no_default_value() should only fail the insert in the strict mode.
Additionally, don't check for "all fields are given values" twice,
it'll produce duplicate warnings.
move TABLE::key_read into handler. Because in index merge and DS-MRR
there can be many handlers per table, and some of them use
key read while others don't. "keyread" is really per handler,
not per TABLE property.
Optionally do table->update_default_fields() even for INSERT
that supposedly provides values for all column. Because these
"values" might be DEFAULT, which would need table->update_default_fields()
at the end.
Also set Item_default_value::used_tables() from the default expression.
Non-zero used_field() means that mysql_insert() will initialize all
fields to their default values (with restore_record()) even if
all columns are later provided with values. Because default expressions
may refer to other columns and they must be initialized.
check_that_all_fields_are_given_values() relied on write_set,
but was run too early, before triggers updated write_set.
also, when triggers are present, fields might get values conditionally,
so we need to check that all fields are given values for every row.
- Changed error handlers interface so that they can change error level in
the handler
- Give warnings and errors when calculating virtual columns
- On insert/update error is fatal in strict mode.
- SELECT and DELETE will only give a warning if a virtual field generates an error
- Added VCOL_UPDATE_FOR_DELETE and VCOL_UPDATE_INDEX_FOR_REPLACE to be able to
easily detect in update_virtual_fields() if we should use an error
handler to mask errors or not.
When updating a table with virtual BLOB columns, the following might
happen:
- an old record is read from the table, it has no virtual blob values
- update_virtual_fields() is run, vcol blob gets its value into the
record. But only a pointer to the value is in the table->record[0],
the value is in Field_blob::value String (but it doesn't have to be!
it can be in the record, if the column is just a copy of another
columns: ... b VARCHAR, c BLOB AS (b) ...)
- store_record(table,record[1]), old record now is in record[1]
- fill_record() prepares new values in record[0], vcol blob is updated,
new value replaces the old one in the Field_blob::value
- now both record[1] and record[0] have a pointer that points to the
*new* vcol blob value. Or record[1] has a pointer to nowhere if
Field_blob::value had to realloc.
To fix this I have introduced a new String object 'read_value' in
Field_blob. When updating virtual columns when a row has been read,
the allocated value is stored in 'read_value' instead of 'value'. The
allocated blobs for the new row is stored in 'value' as before.
I also made, as a safety precaution, the insert delayed handling of
blobs more general by using value to store strings instead of the
record. This ensures that virtual functions on delayed insert should
work in as in the case of normal insert.
Triggers are now properly updating the read, write and vcol maps for used
fields. This means that we don't need VCOL_UPDATE_FOR_READ_WRITE anymore
and there is no need for any other special handling of triggers in
update_virtual_fields().
To be able to test how many times virtual fields are invoked, I also
relaxed rules that one can use local (@) variables in DEFAULT and non
persistent virtual field expressions.
otherwise we'd need to store sql_mode *per vcol*
(consider CREATE INDEX...) and how SHOW CREATE TABLE would
support that?
Additionally, get rid of vcol::expr_str, just to make sure
the string is always generated and never leaked in the
original form.
When updating a table with virtual BLOB columns, the following might happen:
- an old record is read from the table, it has no virtual blob values
- update_virtual_fields() is run, vcol blob gets its value into the
record. But only a pointer to the value is in the table->record[0],
the value is in Field_blob::value String (but it doesn't have to be!
it can be in the record, if the column is just a copy of another
columns: ... b VARCHAR, c BLOB AS (b) ...)
- store_record(table,record[1]), old record now is in record[1]
- fill_record() prepares new values in record[0], vcol blob is updated,
new value replaces the old one in the Field_blob::value
- now both record[1] and record[0] have a pointer that points to the
*new* vcol blob value. Or record[1] has a pointer to nowhere if
Field_blob::value had to realloc.
To resolve this we unlink vcol blobs from the pointer to the
data (in the record[1]). Because the value is not *always* in
the Field_blob::value String, we need to remember what blobs
were unlinked. The orphan memory must be freed manually.
To complicate the matter, ha_update_row() is also used in
multi-update, in REPLACE, in INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE,
also on REPLACE ... SELECT, REPLACE DELAYED, and LOAD DATA REPLACE, etc
