1. Implementing the task according to the description:
a. Adding Type_handler::type_handler_for_tmp_table().
b. Adding Type_handler::type_handler_for_union_table.
c. Adding helper methods Type_handler::varstring_type_handler(const Item*),
Type_handler::blob_type_handler(const Item*)
d. Removing Item::make_string_field() and
Item_func_group_concat::make_string_field().
They are not needed any more.
e. Simplifying Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() to just two lines.
f. Renaming Item_type_holder::make_field_by_type() and implementing
virtual Item_type_holder::create_tmp_field() instead.
The new implementation is also as simple as two lines.
g. Adding a new virtual method Type_all_attributes::get_typelib(),
to access to TYPELIB definitions for ENUM and SET columns.
h. Simplifying the code branch for TIME_RESULT, DECIMAL_RESULT, STRING_RESULT
in Item::create_tmp_field(). It's now just one line.
i. Implementing Type_handler_enum::make_table_field() and
Type_handler_set::make_table_field().
2. Code simplification in Field_str constructor calls.
a. Changing the "CHARSET_INFO *cs" argument in constuctors for Field_str
and its descendants to "const DTCollation &collation". This is to
avoid two step initialization:
- setting Field_str::derivation and Field_str::repertoire to the
default values first
- then resetting them using:
set_derivation(item->derivation, item->repertoire).
b. Removing Field::set_derivation()
c. Adding a new constructor DTCollation(CHARSET_INFO *cs),
for the old code compatibility.
3. Changes in test results
As a side effect some test results have changed, because
in the old version Item::make_string_field() converted
TINYBLOB to VARCHAR(255). Now TINYBLOB is preserved.
a. sp-row.result
This query:
CREATE TABLE t1 AS SELECT tinyblob_sp_variable;
Now preserves TINYBLOB as the data type.
Before the patch a VARCHAR(255) was created.
b. gis-debug.result
This is a debug test, to make sure that + and - operators
are commutative and non-commutative correspondingly.
The exact data type is not really important.
(But anyway, it now chooses a better data type that fits the result)
Fixed that the Column_definition::pack_flag member corresponding to
ROW-type SP variables and their fields was not properly initialized.
This lead to sporadic test failures. Valgrind complained about jumps
depending on uninitialized value in VALGRIND builds.
This patch makes sure that sp_head::fill_spvar_definition() is always
called for ROW variables and their fields.
Additionally, fixed that a function with a scalar parameter
erroneously acceptes ROWs with one fields. Now an error is returned.
