If we instantly change the size of a fixed-length field
and treat it as kind-of variable-length, then we will need
conversions between old column values and new ones.
I tried adding such a conversion to row_build(), but then I
noticed that more conversions would be needed, because
old values still appeared in a freshly rebuilt secondary index,
causing a mismatch when trying to search with the correct
longer value that was converted in my provisional fix to row_build().
So, we will revert the essential part of
MDEV-15563: Instant ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT column extension
(commit 22feb179ae166500ec91feec6246c8154e33f9a2), but not
remove any tests.
This was developed by Aleksey Midenkov based on my design.
In the original InnoDB storage format (that was retroactively named
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT in MySQL 5.0.3), the length of each index field
is stored explicitly.
Because of this, we can and now will allow instant conversion from
VARCHAR to CHAR or VARBINARY to BINARY of equal or greater size,
as well as instant conversion of TINYINT to SMALLINT to MEDIUMINT
to INT to BIGINT (while not changing between signed and unsigned).
Theoretically, we could allow changing from an unsigned integer to
a bigger unsigned integer, as well as changing CHAR to VARCHAR, but
that would require additional metadata and conversions whenever
reading old records.
Field_str::is_equal(), Field_varstring::is_equal(), Field_num::is_equal():
Return the new result IS_EQUAL_PACK_LENGTH_EXT if the table advertises
HA_EXTENDED_TYPES_CONVERSION capability and we are considering the
above-mentioned conversions.
ALTER_COLUMN_EQUAL_PACK_LENGTH_EXT: A new ALTER TABLE flag, similar
to ALTER_COLUMN_EQUAL_PACK_LENGTH but requiring conversions when
reading the data. The Field::is_equal() result IS_EQUAL_PACK_LENGTH_EXT
will map to this flag.
dtype_get_fixed_size_low(): For BINARY, CHAR and integer columns
in ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT, return 0 (variable length) from now on.
dtype_get_sql_null_size(): Keep returning the current size for
BINARY, CHAR and integer columns, so that in ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT
it will remain possible to update in place between NULL and NOT NULL
values.
btr_index_rec_validate(): Relax a CHECK TABLE length check for
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT tables.
btr_cur_instant_init_low(): No longer trust fixed_len
for ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT tables.
We cannot rely on fixed_len anymore because the record can have shorter
length from before instant extension. Note that importing such tablespace
into earlier MariaDB versions produces ER_TABLE_SCHEMA_MISMATCH when
using a .cfg file.
renaming columns in a CHECK constraint during ALTER TABLE
taints the original TABLE and requires m_need_reopen=1.
In this case, though, renaming was redundant, so just don't do it.
remove TABLE_SHARE::error_table_name() and TABLE_SHARE::orig_table_name
(that was allocated in a wrong memroot in this bug).
instead, simply set TABLE_SHARE::table_name correctly.
Analysis:
========
Increasing the length of the indexed varchar column is not an instant operation for
innodb.
Fix:
===
- Introduce the new handler flag 'Alter_inplace_info::ALTER_COLUMN_INDEX_LENGTH' to
indicate the index length differs due to change of column length changes.
- InnoDB makes the ALTER_COLUMN_INDEX_LENGTH flag as instant operation.
This is a port of Mysql fix.

BUG#26848813: INDEXED COLUMN CAN'T BE CHANGED FROM VARCHAR(15)
TO VARCHAR(40) INSTANTANEOUSLY
Bootstrap in a separate thread was introduced in 746f0b3b7 to workaround
OS/2 small stack size. OS/2 support was discontinued in 2006 and modern
operating systems have default stack size a few times larger than
default thread_stack and it is tunable.
Aim is to reduce usage of LOCK_thread_count and COND_thread_count.
Part of MDEV-15135.
Problem:
========
Server fails to notify the engine by not setting the ADD_PK_INDEX and
DROP_PK_INDEX When there is a
i) Change in candidate for primary key.
ii) New candidate for primary key.
Fix:
====
Server sets the ADD_PK_INDEX and DROP_PK_INDEX while doing alter for the
above problematic case.
The error message modified.
Then the TABLE_SHARE::error_table_name() implementation taken from 10.3,
to be used as a name of the table in this message.
Alter statement changed the THD structure by setting the value to FIELD_CHECK_WARN
and then not resetting it back. This led ANALYZE to throw a warning which previously
it didn't.
Part of MDEV-5336 Implement LOCK FOR BACKUP
- Changed check of Global_only_lock to also include BACKUP lock.
- We store latest MDL_BACKUP_DDL lock in thd->mdl_backup_ticket to be able
to downgrade lock during copy_data_between_tables()
Part of MDEV-5336 Implement LOCK FOR BACKUP
- Added new locks to MDL_BACKUP for all stages of backup locks and
a new MDL lock needed for backup stages.
- Renamed MDL_BACKUP_STMT to MDL_BACKUP_DDL
- flush_tables() takes a new parameter that decides what should be flushed.
- InnoDB, Aria (transactional tables with checksums), Blackhole, Federated
and Federatedx tables are marked to be safe for online backup. We are
using MDL_BACKUP_TRANS_DML instead of MDL_BACKUP_DML locks for these
which allows any DML's to proceed for these tables during the whole
backup process until BACKUP STAGE COMMIT which will block the final
commit.
- Call delete_statistics_tables() after lock_table_names in drop tables.
This avoids a deadlock issue with FTWRL and future backup locks.
- Added some missing clear_error()
- Ensure we don't clear error caused by the caller
- Updated function comments
- The old code used the original create_info from lex, not the new one
that includes more information (like OPT_OR_REPLACE).
The bug was not discovered as the code in lock_table_named() only
checked for OPT_OR_REPLACE in case of timeout errors.
As lock_table_names will be fixed as part of BACKUP STAGE's, there
is no changes in lock_table_names() in this commit.
- Removed also the 'temporary' copy of statement flags to thd for
lock_table_names()
We don't have many bits left, no need to add another InnoDB-specific flag.
Instead, we say that HA_REQUIRE_PRIMARY_KEY does not apply to SEQUENCE.
Meaning, if the engine declares HA_CAN_TABLES_WITHOUT_ROLLBACK (required
for SEQUENCE) it *must* support tables without a primary key.
Fixed by adding table flag HA_WANTS_PRIMARY_KEY, which is like
HA_REQUIRE_PRIMARY_KEY but tells SQL upper layer that the storage engine
internally can handle tables without primary keys (for example for
sequences or trough user variables)
Locked_tables_list::unlock_locked_tables
Similarly to regular DROP TABLE, don't leave locked tables mode if CREATE OR
REPLACE dropped temporary table but failed to cerate new one.
The problem is that there's no track of which temporary table was "locked" by
LOCK TABLES.
