Problems:
1. Unlike Item_field::fix_fields(),
Item_sum_sp::fix_length_and_dec() and Item_func_sp::fix_length_and_dec()
did not run the code which resided in adjust_max_effective_column_length(),
therefore they did not extend max_length for the integer return data types
from the user-specified length to the maximum length according to
the data type capacity.
2. The code in adjust_max_effective_column_length() was not correct
for TEXT data, because Field_blob::max_display_length()
multiplies to mbmaxlen. So TEXT variants were unintentionally
promoted to the next longer data type for multi-byte character
sets: TINYTEXT->TEXT, TEXT->MEDIUMTEXT, MEDIUMTEXT->LONGTEXT.
3. Item_sum_sp::create_table_field_from_handler()
Item_func_sp::create_table_field_from_handler()
erroneously called tmp_table_field_from_field_type(),
which converted VARCHAR(>512) to TEXT variants.
So "CREATE..SELECT spfunc()" erroneously converted
VARCHAR to TEXT. This was wrong, because stored
functions have explicitly declared data types,
which should be preserved.
Solution:
- Removing Type_std_attributes(const Field *)
and using instead Type_std_attributes::set() in combination
with field->type_str_attributes() all around the code, e.g.:
Type_std_attributes::set(field->type_std_attributes())
These two ways of copying attributes from a Field
to an Item duplicated each other, and were slightly
different in how to mix max_length and mbmaxlen.
- Removing adjust_max_effective_column_length() and
fixing Field::type_std_attributes() to do all necessary
type-specific calculations , so no further adjustments
is needed.
Field::type_std_attributes() is now called from all affected methods:
Item_field::fix_fields()
Item_sum_sp::fix_length_and_dec()
Item_func_sp::fix_length_and_dec()
This fixes the problem N1.
- Making Field::type_std_attributes() virtual, to make
sure that type-specific adjustments a properly done
by individual Field_xxx classes. Implementing
Field_blob::type_std_attributes() in the way that
no TEXT promotion is done.
This fixes the problem N2.
- Fixing Item_sum_sp::create_table_field_from_handler()
Item_func_sp::create_table_field_from_handler() to
call create_table_field_from_handler() instead of
tmp_table_field_from_field_type() to avoid
VARCHAR->TEXT conversion on "CREATE..SELECT spfunc()".
- Recording mysql-test/suite/compat/oracle/r/sp-param.result
as "CREATE..SELECT spfunc()" now correctly
preserve the data type as specified in the RETURNS clause.
- Adding new tests
Standard compatible behavior for UPDATE: all assignments in SET
are executed "simultaneously", not left-to-right. And `SET a=b,b=a`
will swap the values.
