The GROUP_CONCAT uses its own temporary table. When ROLLUP is present
it creates the second copy of Item_func_group_concat. This copy receives the
same list of arguments that original group_concat does. When the copy is
set up the result_fields of functions from the argument list are reset to the
temporary table of this copy.
As a result of this action data from functions flow directly to the ROLLUP copy
and the original group_concat functions shows wrong result.
Since queries with COUNT(DISTINCT ...) use temporary tables to store
the results the COUNT function they are also affected by this bug.
The idea of the fix is to copy content of the result_field for the function
under GROUP_CONCAT/COUNT from the first temporary table to the second one,
rather than setting result_field to point to the second temporary table.
To achieve this goal force_copy_fields flag is added to Item_func_group_concat
and Item_sum_count_distinct classes. This flag is initialized to 0 and set to 1
into the make_unique() member function of both classes.
To the TMP_TABLE_PARAM structure is modified to include the similar flag as
well.
The create_tmp_table() function passes that flag to create_tmp_field().
When the flag is set the create_tmp_field() function will set result_field
as a source field and will not reset that result field to newly created
field for Item_func_result_field and its descendants. Due to this there
will be created copy func to copy data from old result_field to newly
created field.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.
The problem was in that the MIN/MAX optimization in opt_sum_query was
replacing MIN/MAX functions with their constant argument without
taking into account that a query has no result rows.
Added flag to Field::store(longlong) to specify if value is unsigned.
This fixes bug #12750: Incorrect storage of 9999999999999999999 in DECIMAL(19, 0)
Fixed warning from valgrind in CREATE ... SELECT
Fixed double free of mysql.options if reconnect failed
Added test cases for bug #12863.
item_sum.cc, item_sum.h:
Fixed bug #12863.
Added a flag to Item_func_group_concat set to FALSE after
concatenation of the first element of a group.
Item_func_group_concat::fix_fields() set maybe_null flag to 0, and set it to
1 only if some of it's arguments may be null. When used in subquery in tmp
table created field which can't be null. When no data retireved result field
have to be set to null and error mentioned in bug report occurs. Also this
bug can occur if selecting from not null field in empty table.
Function group_concat now marked maybe_null from the very beginning not only
if some of it's argument may be null.
Cannot convert the charset of a GROUP_CONCAT result:
item_sum.cc:
"result" character set was not set into proper value.
func_gconcat.result, func_gconcat.test:
Fixing tests accordingly.
Item_type_holder doesn't store information about length and exact type of
original item which results in redefining length to max_length and geometry
type to longtext.
Changed the way derived tables except unions are built. Now they are created
from original field list instead of list of Item_type_holder.
Adding test
item_sum.cc:
Adding a call for collation/charset aggregation,
to collect attributes from the arguments. The actual bug fix.
item_func.h, item_func.cc, item.h, item.cc:
- Removing collation aggrgation functions from Item_func class
in item.cc, and adding it as non-class functions in item.cc
to be able to reuse this code for group_concat.
- Adding replacement for these functions into Item_func class
as wrappers for moved functions, to minizize patch size,
