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.

This is similar to MysQL Worklog 3253, but with
a different implementation. The disk format and
SQL syntax is identical with MySQL 5.7.
Fetures supported:
- "Any" ammount of any trigger
- Supports FOLLOWS and PRECEDES to be
able to put triggers in a certain execution order.
Implementation details:
- Class Trigger added to hold information about a trigger.
Before this trigger information was stored in a set of lists in
Table_triggers_list and in Table_triggers_list::bodies
- Each Trigger has a next field that poinst to the next Trigger with the
same action and time.
- When accessing a trigger, we now always access all linked triggers
- The list are now only used to load and save trigger files.
- MySQL trigger test case (trigger_wl3253) added and we execute these
identically.
- Even more gracefully handling of wrong trigger files than before. This
is useful if a trigger file uses functions or syntax not provided by
the server.
- Each trigger now has a "Created" field that shows when the trigger was
created, with 2 decimals.
Other comments:
- Many of the changes in test files was done because of the new "Created"
field in the trigger file. This shows up in SHOW ... TRIGGER and when
using information_schema.trigger.
- Don't check if all memory is released if on uses --gdb; This is needed
to be able to get a list from safemalloc of not freed memory while
debugging.
- Added option to trim_whitespace() to know how many prefix characters
was skipped.
- Changed a few ulonglong sql_mode to sql_mode_t, to find some wrong usage
of sql_mode.
Reason for the problem was that the hash of changed files in the key cache was too small (was 128). Fixed by making the hash size larger and changeable.
- Introduced key-cache-file-hash-size (default 512) for MyISAM and aria_pagecache_file_hash_size (default 512) for Aria.
- Added new status variable "Feature_delay_key_write" which counts number of tables opened that are using delay_key_write
