Let us introduce the parameter innodb_read_only_compressed
that is ON by default, making any ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED tables
read-only.
I developed the ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED format based on
Heikki Tuuri's rough design between 2005 and 2008. It might
have been a good idea back then, but no proper benchmarks were
ever run to validate the design or the implementation.
The format has been more or less obsolete for years.
It limits innodb_page_size to 16384 bytes (the default),
and instant ALTER TABLE is not supported.
This is the first step towards deprecating and removing
write support for ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED tables.
This change takes into account a column's GENERATED ALWAYS AS
expression dependcy on sql_mode's PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH and
NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION flags.
Indexed virtual columns as well as persistent generated columns are
now not allowed to have such dependencies to avoid inconsistent data
or index files on sql_mode changes.
So an error is now returned in cases like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->VARCHAR or CHAR->TEXT = ERROR
);
Functions RPAD() and RTRIM() can now remove dependency on
PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. So this can be used instead:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (RTRIM(a)) PERSISTENT
);
Note, unlike CHAR->VARCHAR and CHAR->TEXT this still works,
not RPAD(a) is needed:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v CHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->CHAR is OK
);
More sql_mode flags may affect values of generated columns.
They will be addressed separately.
See comments in sql_mode.h for implementation details.
When MySQL 5.7 introduced indexed virtual columns, it introduced
several bugs into the online table-rebuilding ALTER, that is,
the row_log_table_apply() family of functions.
The online_log format that was introduced for online table-rebuilding
ALTER in MySQL 5.6 should be sufficient. Ideally, any indexed virtual
column values would be evaluated based on the log records in the temporary
file. There is no need to log virtual column values.
(For ADD INDEX, that is row_log_apply(), we always must log the values of
the keys, no matter if the columns are virtual.)
Because omitting the virtual column values removes any chance of
row_log_table_apply() working with indexed virtual columns, we
will for now refuse LOCK=NONE in table-rebuilding ALTER operations
when indexes on virtual columns exist. This restriction would be
lifted in MDEV-14341.
innobase_indexed_virtual_exist(): New predicate, to determine if
indexed virtual columns exist in a table definition.
ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Refuse online rebuild
if indexed virtual columns exist.
rec_get_converted_size_temp_v(), rec_convert_dtuple_to_temp_v(): Remove.
row_log_table_delete(), row_log_table_update(, row_log_table_insert():
Remove parameters for virtual columns.
trx_undo_read_v_rows(): Remove the col_map parameter.
row_log_table_apply(): Do not deal with virtual columns.
collateral changes:
* remove a test from innodb_virtual_basic that is already present in
gcol_keys_innodb
* set thd->abort_on_warning for inplace alter, just like it's set
for copy_data_between_tables - to have warnings converted into
errors identically in all alter algorithms
* don't ignore errors in TABLE::update_virtual_field
SQL Standard behavior for DROP COLUMN xxx RESTRICT:
* If a constraint (UNIQUE or CHECK) uses only the dropped column,
it's automatically dropped too. If it uses many columns - an error.
* remove old 5.2+ InnoDB support for virtual columns
* enable corresponding parts of the innodb-5.7 sources
* copy corresponding test cases from 5.7
* copy detailed Alter_inplace_info::HA_ALTER_FLAGS flags from 5.7
- and more detailed detection of changes in fill_alter_inplace_info()
* more "innodb compatibility hooks" in sql_class.cc to
- create/destroy/reset a THD (used by background purge threads)
- find a prelocked table by name
- open a table (from a background purge thread)
* different from 5.7:
- new service thread "thd_destructor_proxy" to make sure all THDs are
destroyed at the correct point in time during the server shutdown
- proper opening/closing of tables for vcol evaluations in
+ FK checks (use already opened prelocked tables)
+ purge threads (open the table, MDLock it, add it to tdc, close
when not needed)
- cache open tables in vc_templ
- avoid unnecessary allocations, reuse table->record[0] and table->s->default_values
- not needed in 5.7, because it overcalculates:
+ tell the server to calculate vcols for an on-going inline ADD INDEX
+ calculate vcols for correct error messages
* update other engines (mroonga/tokudb) accordingly
