The task "MDEV-25829 Change default Unicode collation to uca1400_ai_ci"
previously changed collation derivation for string user variables
from DERIVATION_EXPLICIT to DERIVATION_COERCIBLE, to resolve illegal
collation mix conflicts between table columns and user variables
when they have different collations.
However, DERIVATION_COERCIBLE was a wrong choice because it caused
conflicts between string literals and user variables when they have
different collations.
Adding a new collation derivation level DERIVATION_USERVAR.
This makes the collation of a user variable:
- weaker than a table column (like it was intended by MDEV-25829)
- but stronger than a literal (like it was in pre-MDEV-25829)
Cleanup in sql_type.h:
Removing the line "- BINARY(expr)" from the before-DERIVATION_CAST
comment, as it was on a wrong place. It's also listed on the correct
place before DERIVATION_IMPLICIT.
The code in my_strntoull_8bit() and my_strntoull_mb2_or_mb4()
could hit undefinite behavior by negating of LONGLONG_MIN.
Fixing the code to avoid this.
Item_func_hex::fix_length_and_dec() evaluated a too short data type
for signed numeric arguments, which resulted in a 'Data too long for column'
error on CREATE..SELECT.
Fixing the code to take into account that a short negative
numer can produce a long HEX value: -1 -> 'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'
Also fixing Item_func_hex::val_str_ascii_from_val_real().
Without this change, MTR test with HEX with negative float point arguments
failed on some platforms (aarch64, ppc64le, s390-x).
Step#2 - Adding a new collation derivation level for CAST and CONVERT.
Now character string cast functions:
- CAST(string_expr AS CHAR)
- CONVERT(expr USING charset_name)
have a new collation derivation level between:
- string literals
- utf8 metadata functions, e.g. user() and database()
Before the change these cast functions had collation derivation equal
to table columns, which caused more illegal mix of collation conflicts.
Note, binary string cast functions:
- BINARY(expr)
- CAST(string_expr AS BINARY)
- CONVERT(expr USING binary)
did not change their collation derivation, to preserve the behaviour of
queries like these:
SELECT database()=BINARY'test';
SELECT user()=CAST('root' AS BINARY);
SELECT current_role()=CONVERT('role' USING binary);
Derivation levels after the change look as follows:
DERIVATION_IGNORABLE= 7, // Explicit NULL
DERIVATION_NUMERIC= 6, // Numbers in string context,
// Numeric user variables
// CAST(numeric_expr AS CHAR)
DERIVATION_COERCIBLE= 5, // Literals, string user variables
DERIVATION_CAST= 4, // CAST(string_expr AS CHAR),
// CONVERT(string_expr USING cs)
DERIVATION_SYSCONST= 3, // utf8 metadata functions, e.g. user(), database()
DERIVATION_IMPLICIT= 2, // Table columns, SP variables, BINARY(expr)
DERIVATION_NONE= 1, // A mix (e.g. CONCAT) of two differrent collations
DERIVATION_EXPLICIT= 0 // An explicit COLLATE clause
Fixing the condition to raise an overflow in the ulonglong
representation of the number is greater or equal to 0x8000000000000000ULL.
Before this change the condition did not catch -9223372036854775808
(the smallest possible signed negative longlong number).
Some fixes related to commit f838b2d799 and
Rows_log_event::do_apply_event() and Update_rows_log_event::do_exec_row()
for system-versioned tables were provided by Nikita Malyavin.
This was required by test versioning.rpl,trx_id,row.
Queries that select concatenated constant strings now have
colname and value that match. For example,
SELECT '123' 'x';
will return a result where the column name and value both
are '123x'.
Review: Daniel Black
Item_func_quote did not calculate its max_length correctly for nullable
arguments.
Fix:
In case if the argument is nullable, reserve at least 4 characters
so the string "NULL" fits.
BASE 62 uses 0-9, A-Z and then a-z to give the numbers 0-61. This patch
increases the range of the string functions to cover this.
Based on ideas and tests in PR #2589, but re-written into the charset
functions.
Includes fix by Sergei, UBSAN complained:
ctype-simple.c:683:38: runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808
cannot be represented in type 'long long int'; cast to an unsigned
type to negate this value to itself

Changing the code handling sql_mode-dependent function DECODE():
- removing parser tokens DECODE_MARIADB_SYM and DECODE_ORACLE_SYM
- removing the DECODE() related code from sql_yacc.yy/sql_yacc_ora.yy
- adding handling of DECODE() with help of a new Create_func_func_decode
