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 ...".
The select mentioned in the bug attempted to create a temporary table
using the maria storage engine. The table needs to have primary keys such that
duplicates can be removed. Unfortunately this use case has a longer
than allowed key and the tmp table got created without a temporary key.
We must not allow materialization for the subquery if the total key
length and key parts is greater than what the storage engine supports.
Problem was in rewriting left expression which had 2 references on it. Solved with making subselect reference main.
Item_in_optimized can have not Item_in_subselect reference in left part so type casting with no check is dangerous.
Item::cols() should be checked after Item::fix_fields().
Analysis :
==========
During JOIN::prepare of sub-query which creates the
derived tables we call setup_procedure. Here we call
fix_fields for parameters of procedure clause. Calling
setup_procedure at this point may cause issue. If
sub-query is one of parameter being fixed it might
lead to complicated dependencies on derived tables
being prepared.
SOLUTION :
==========
In 5.6 with WL#6242, we have made procedure clause
parameters can only be NUM, so sub-queries are not
allowed as parameters. So in 5.5 we can block
sub-queries in procedure clause parameters.
This eliminates above conflicting dependencies.
Fix by Sergey Petrunia.
This patch only prevents the evaluation of expensive subqueries during optimization.
The crash reported in this bug has been fixed by some other patch.
The fix is to call value->is_null() only when !value->is_expensive(), because is_null()
may trigger evaluation of the Item, which in turn triggers subquery evaluation if the
Item is a subquery.
The problem was that was_null and null_value variables was reset in each reexecution of IN subquery, but engine rerun only for non-constant subqueries.
Fixed checking constant in Item_equal sort.
Fix constant reporting in Item_subselect.
Analysis:
The fix for bug lp:985667 implements the method Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result()
for all main kinds of subqueries. The purpose of this method is to be called from
return_zero_rows() and set Items to some default value in the case when a query
returns no rows. Aggregates and subqueries require special treatment in this case.
Every implementation of Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result() called
Item_subselect::make_const() to set the subquery predicate to its default value
irrespective of where the predicate was located in the query. Once the predicate
was set to a constant it was never executed.
At the same time, the JOIN object of the fake select for UNIONs (the one used for
the final result of the UNION), was set after all subqueries in the union were
executed. Since we set the subquery as constant, it was never executed, and the
corresponding JOIN was never created.
In order to decide whether the result of NOT IN is NULL or FALSE, Item_in_optimizer
needs to check if the subquery result was empty or not. This is where we got the
crash, because subselect_union_engine::no_rows() checks for
unit->fake_select_lex->join->send_records, and the join object was NULL.
Solution:
If a subquery is in the HAVING clause it must be evaluated in order to know its
result, so that we can properly filter the result records. Once subqueries in the
HAVING clause are executed even in the case of no result rows, this specific
crash will be solved, because the UNION will be executed, and its JOIN will be
constructed. Therefore the fix for this crash is to narrow the fix for lp:985667,
and to apply Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result() only when the subquery predicate
is in the SELECT clause.
CHEAP SQ: Valgrind warnings "Memory lost" with IN and EXISTS nested subquery, materialization+semijoin
Analysis:
The memory leak was a result of the interaction of semi-join optimization
with early optimization of constant subqueries. The function:
setup_jtbm_semi_joins() created a dummy temporary table "dummy_table"
in order to make some JOIN_TAB objects complete. Normally, such temporary
tables are freed inside JOIN_TAB::cleanup.
However, the inner-most subquery is pre-optimized, which allows the
optimization fo the MAX subquery to determine that its WHERE is TRUE,
and thus to compute the result of the MAX during optimization. This
ultimately allows the optimize phase of the outer query to find that
it WHERE clause is FALSE. Once JOIN::optimize finds that the result
set is empty, it sets zero_result_cause, and returns *before* it ever
reached make_join_statistics(). As a result the query plan has no
JOIN_TABs at all. Since the temporary table is supposed to be cleanup
via JOIN_TAB::cleanup, this never happens because there is no JOIN_TAB
for this table. Hence we get a memory leak.
Solution:
Whenever there are no JOIN_TABs, iterate over all table reference in
JOIN::join_list, and free the ones that contain semi-join temporary
tables.
Analysis:
The fix for lp:944706 introduces early subquery optimization.
While a subquery is being optimized some of its predicates may be
removed. In the test case, the EXISTS subquery is constant, and is
evaluated to TRUE. As a result the whole OR is TRUE, and thus the
correlated condition "b = alias1.b" is optimized away. The subquery
becomes non-correlated.
The subquery cache is designed to work only for correlated subqueries.
If constant subquery optimization is disallowed, then the constant
subquery is not evaluated, the subquery remains correlated, and its
execution is cached. As a result execution is fast.
However, when the constant subquery was optimized away, it was neither
cached by the subquery cache, nor it was cached by the internal subquery
caching. The latter was due to the fact that the subquery still appeared
as correlated to the subselect_XYZ_engine::exec methods, and they
re-executed the subquery on each call to Item_subselect::exec.
Solution:
The solution is to update the correlated status of the subquery after it has
been optimized. This status consists of:
- st_select_lex::is_correlated
- Item_subselect::is_correlated
- SELECT_LEX::uncacheable
- SELECT_LEX_UNIT::uncacheable
The status is updated by st_select_lex::update_correlated_cache(), and its
caller st_select_lex::optimize_unflattened_subqueries. The solution relies
on the fact that the optimizer already called
st_select_lex::update_used_tables() for each subquery. This allows to
efficiently update the correlated status of each subquery without walking
the whole subquery tree.
Notice that his patch is an improvement over MySQL 5.6 and older, where
subqueries are not pre-optimized, and the above analysis is not possible.
Analysis:
The optimizer detects an empty result through constant table optimization.
Then it calls return_zero_rows(), which in turns calls inderctly
Item_maxmin_subselect::no_rows_in_result(). The latter method set "value=0",
however "value" is pointer to Item_cache, and not just an integer value.
All of the Item_[maxmin | singlerow]_subselect::val_XXX methods does:
if (forced_const)
return value->val_real();
which of course crashes when value is a NULL pointer.
Solution:
When the optimizer discovers an empty result set, set
Item_singlerow_subselect::value to a FALSE constant Item instead of NULL.
