The problem happened because Item_ident_for_show::field_type() always
returned MYSQL_TYPE_DOUBLE and ignored the actual data type of the
referenced Field. As a result, the execution always used
Item_ident_for_show::val_real() to send the default value of the field,
so most default values for non-numeric types were displayed as '0'.
This patch:
1. Cleanup:
a. Removes Send_field::charsetnr, as it's been unused since
introduction of Item::charset_for_protocol() in MySQL-5.5.
b. Adds the "const" qualifier to Field::char_length().
This is needed for (5.a), see below.
2. Introduces a new virtual method Type_handler::charset_for_protocol(),
returning item->collation.collation for string data types, or
&my_charset_bin for non-string data types.
3. Changes Item::charset_for_protocol() from virtual to non-virtual.
It now calls type_handler()->charset_for_protocol().
As a good side effect, duplicate code in Item::charset_for_protocol() and
Item_temporal_hybrid_func::charset_for_protocol() is now gone.
4. Fixes Item_ident_for_show::field_type() to correctly return
its data type according to the data type of the referenced field.
This actually fixes the problem reported in MDEV-11672.
Now the default value is sent using a correct method, e.g.
val_str() for VARCHAR/TEXT, or val_int() for INT/BIGINT.
This required additional changes:
a. in DBUG_ASSERT in Protocol::store(const char *,size_t,CHARSET_INFO),
This method is now used by mysqld_list_fields(), which
(unlike normal SELECT queries) does not set
field_types/field_pos/field_count.
b. Item_ident_for_show::Item_ident_for_show() now set standard attributes
(collation, decimals, max_length, unsigned_flag) according to the
referenced field, to make charset_for_protocol() return the correct
value and to make mysqld_list_fields() correctly send default
values.
5. In order to share the code between Item_field::set_field() and
Item_ident_for_show::Item_ident_for_show():
a. Introduces a new method Type_std_attributes::set(const Field*)
b. To make (a) possible, moves Item::fix_char_length() from Item
to Type_std_attributes, also moves char_to_byte_length_safe()
from item.h to sql_type.h
c. Additionally, moves Item::fix_length_and_charset() and
Item::max_char_length() from Item to Type_std_attributes.
This is not directly needed for the fix and is done just for symmetry
with fix_char_length(), as these three methods are directly related
to each other.
Also fixes:
MDEV-11331 Wrong result for INSERT INTO t1 (datetime_field) VALUES (hybrid_function_of_TIME_data_type)
MDEV-11333 Expect "Impossible where condition" for WHERE timestamp_field>=DATE_ADD(TIMESTAMP'9999-01-01 00:00:00',INTERVAL 1000 YEAR)
This patch does the following:
1. Splits the function Item::save_in_field() into pieces:
- Item::save_str_in_field()
- Item::save_real_in_field()
- Item::save_decimal_in_field()
- Item::save_int_in_field()
2. Adds the missing "no_conversion" parameters to
Item::save_time_in_field() and Item::save_date_in_field(),
so this parameter is now correctly passed to
set_field_to_null_with_conversions().
This fixes the problem reported in 11333.
3. Introduces a new virtual method Type_handler::Item_save_in_field()
and uses the methods Item::save_xxx_in_field() from the implementations
of Type_handler_xxx::Item_save_in_field().
These changes additionally fix the problem reported in MDEV-11331,
as the old code erroneously handled expressions like
COALESE(datetime-expression) through the STRING_RESULT branch of
Item::save_in_field() and therefore they looked like string type expressions
for the target fields. Now such expressions are correctly handled by
Item::save_date_in_field().
otherwise we'd need to store sql_mode *per vcol*
(consider CREATE INDEX...) and how SHOW CREATE TABLE would
support that?
Additionally, get rid of vcol::expr_str, just to make sure
the string is always generated and never leaked in the
original form.
* revert part of the db7edfe that moved calculations from
fix_fields to val_str for Item_func_sysconst and descendants
* mark session state dependent functions in check_vcol_func_processor()
* re-run fix_fields for all such functions for every statement
* fix CURRENT_USER/CURRENT_ROLE not to use Name_resolution_context
(that is allocated on the stack in unpack_vcol_info_from_frm())
Note that NOW(), CURDATE(), etc use lazy initialization and do *not*
force fix_fields to be re-run. The rule is:
* lazy initialization is *not* allowed, if it changes metadata (so,
e.g. DAYNAME() cannot use it)
* lazy initialization is *preferrable* if it has side effects (e.g.
NOW() sets thd->time_zone_used=1, so it's better to do it when
the value of NOW is actually needed, not when NOW is simply prepared)
- Force usage of () around complex DEFAULT expressions
- Give error if DEFAULT expression contains invalid characters
- Don't use const_charset_conversion for stored Item_func_sysconf expressions
as the result is not constaint over different executions
- Fixed Item_func_user() to not store calculated value in str_value
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function
MDEV-9408 CREATE TABLE SELECT MAX(int_column) creates different columns for table vs view
There were three almost identical pieces of the code:
- Field *Item_func::tmp_table_field();
- Field *Item_sum::create_tmp_field();
- Field *create_tmp_field_from_item();
with a difference in very small details (hence the bugs):
Only Item_func::tmp_table_field() was correct, the other two were not.
Removing the two incorrect pieces of the redundant code.
Joining these three functions/methods into a single virtual method
Item::create_tmp_field().
Additionally, moving Item::make_string_field() and
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() from the public into the
protected section of the class declaration, as they are now not
needed outside of Item.
Item_func_hybrid_field_type did not return correct field_type(), cmp_type()
and result_type() in some cases, because cached_result_type and
cached_field_type were set in independent pieces of the code and
did not properly match to each other.
Fix:
- Removing Item_func_hybrid_result_type
- Deriving Item_func_hybrid_field_type directly from Item_func
- Introducing a new class Type_handler which guarantees that
field_type(), cmp_type() and result_type() are always properly synchronized
and using the new class in Item_func_hybrid_field_type.
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
MDEV-6789 segfault in Item_func_from_unixtime::get_date on updating table with virtual columns
* prohibit VALUES in partitioning expression
* prohibit user and system variables in virtual column expressions
* fix Item_func_date_format to cache locale (for %M/%W to return the same as MONTHNAME/DAYNAME)
* fix Item_func_from_unixtime to cache time_zone directly, not THD (and not to crash)
* added tests for other incorrectly allowed (in vcols) functions to see that they don't crash
The crash happened because Item_func_monthname was derived from
Item_func_month, so Item_func_monthname::is_null() did not work fine.
Backporting a change from 5.5: Item_func_monthname is now derived from
Item_str_func.
Other fix of maybe_null problem and revert of revno: 3608 "MDEV-3873 & MDEV-3876 & MDEV-3912 : Wrong result (extra rows) with ALL subquery from a MERGE view."
