This reverts commit e86010f909fb6b8c4ffd9d6df92991ac079e67e7.
Reverting on Monty's request, as this change makes merging
things from 10.5 to 10.2 much harder.
The bug was that when long item-strings was converted to VARCHAR,
type_handler::string_type_handler() didn't take into account max
VARCHAR length. The resulting Aria temporary table was created with
a VARCHAR field of length 1 when it should have been 65537. This caused
MariaDB to send impossible records to ma_write() and Aria reported
eventually the table as crashed.
Fixed by updating Type_handler::string_type_handler() to not create too long
VARCHAR fields. To make things extra safe, I also added checks in when
writing dynamic Aria records to ensure we find the wrong record during write
instead of during read.
Make Field::is_equal() const and return bool as it's a naturally fitting
type for it. Also it's agrument was narrowed to Column_definition.
InnoDB can change type of some columns by itself. InnoDB-specific code used to
reside in Field_xxx:is_equal() methods. Now engine-specific stuff was
moved to a virtual methods of handler::can_convert{string,varstring,blob,geom}.
These methods are called by Field::can_be_converted_by_engine() which is a
double dispatch pattern.
Some InnoDB-specific code still resides in compare_keys_but_name(). It should
be moved from here someday to handler::compare_key_parts(...) or similar.
IS_EQUAL_WITH_REINTERPRET_COMPATIBLE_CHARSET
IS_EQUAL_WITH_REINTERPRET_COMPATIBLE_CHARSET_BUT_COLLATE: both was removed
IS_EQUAL_NO, IS_EQUAL_YES are not needed now and should be removed
along with deprecated handler::check_if_incompatible_data().
HA_EXTENDED_TYPES_CONVERSION: was removed as such logic is not needed now by
server code.
ALTER_COLUMN_EQUAL_PACK_LENGTH: was renamed to a more generic
ALTER_COLUMN_TYPE_CHANGE_BY_ENGINE
Patch is about two cases:
1) On some collate changes it's possible to rebuild only secondary indexes
2) For non-indexed columns collate can be changed INSTANTly
Implemented mostly in Field_{string,varstring,blob}::is_equal().
Make this method return how exactly collationa differs.
This information is later used by fill_alter_inplace_info() to pass
correct info to engine.
This patch fixes:
- MDEV-19284 INSTANT ALTER with ucs2-to-utf16 conversion produces bad data
- MDEV-19285 INSTANT ALTER from ascii_general_ci to latin1_general_ci produces corrupt data
These regressions were introduced in 10.4.3 by:
- MDEV-15564 Avoid table rebuild in ALTER TABLE on collation or charset changes
Changes:
1. Cleanup: Adding a helper method
Field_longstr::csinfo_change_allows_instant_alter(),
to remove some duplicate code in field.cc.
2. Cleanup: removing Type_handler::Charsets_are_compatible() and static
function charsets_are_compatible() and
introducing new methods in the recently added class Charset instead:
- encoding_allows_reinterpret_as()
- encoding_and_order_allow_reinterpret_as()
3. Bug fix: Removing the code that allowed instant conversion for
ascii-to->8bit and ucs2-to->utf16.
This actually fixes MDEV-19284 and MDEV-19285.
4. Bug fix: Adding a helper method Charset::collation_specific_name().
The old corresponding code in Type_handler::Charsets_are_compatible()
was not safe against (badly named) user-defined collations whose
character set name can be longer than collation name.
This also fixes:
MDEV-17299 Assertion `maybe_null' failed in make_sortkey
Note, during merge of the 10.1 version of MDEV-17299,
please use the 10.3 version of the code (i.e. null merge the 10.1 version).
1. Renaming Type_handler_json to Type_handler_json_longtext
There will be other JSON handlers soon, e.g. Type_handler_json_varchar.
2. Making the code more symmetric for data types:
- Adding a new virtual method
Type_handler::Column_definition_validate_check_constraint()
- Moving JSON-specific code from sql_yacc.yy to
Type_handler_json_longtext::Column_definition_validate_check_constraint()
3. Adding new files sql_type_json.cc and sql_type_json.h
and moving Type_handler+JSON related code into these files.
Allow ALGORITHM=INSTANT (or avoid touching any data)
when changing the collation, or in some cases, the character set,
of a non-indexed CHAR or VARCHAR column. There is no penalty
for subsequent DDL or DML operations, and compatibility with
older MariaDB versions will be unaffected.
Character sets may be changed when the old encoding is compatible
with the new one. For example, changing from ASCII to anything
ASCII-based, or from 3-byte to 4-byte UTF-8 can sometimes be
performed instantly.
This is joint work with Eugene Kosov.
The test cases as well as ALTER_CONVERT_TO, charsets_are_compatible(),
Type_handler::Charsets_are_compatible() are his work.
The Field_str::is_equal(), Field_varstring::is_equal() and
the InnoDB changes were mostly rewritten by me due to conflicts
with MDEV-15563.
Limitations:
Changes of indexed columns will still require
ALGORITHM=COPY. We should allow ALGORITHM=NOCOPY and allow
the indexes to be rebuilt inside the storage engine,
without copying the entire table.
Instant column size changes (in bytes) are not supported by
all storage engines.
Instant CHAR column changes are only allowed for InnoDB
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT. We could allow this for InnoDB
when the CHAR internally uses a variable-length encoding,
say, when converting from 3-byte UTF-8 to 4-byte UTF-8.
Instant VARCHAR column changes are allowed for InnoDB
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT, and for others only if the size
in bytes does not change from 128..255 bytes to more
than 256 bytes.
Inside InnoDB, this slightly changes the way how MDEV-15563
works and fixes the result of the innodb.instant_alter_extend test.
We change the way how ALTER_COLUMN_EQUAL_PACK_LENGTH_EXT
is handled. All column extension, type changes and renaming
now go through a common route, except when ctx->is_instant()
is in effect, for example, instant ADD or DROP COLUMN has
been initiated. Only in that case we will go through
innobase_instant_try() and rewrite all column metadata.
get_type(field, prtype, mtype, len): Convert a SQL data type into
InnoDB column metadata.
innobase_rename_column_try(): Remove the update of SYS_COLUMNS.
innobase_rename_or_enlarge_column_try(): New function,
replacing part of innobase_rename_column_try() and all of
innobase_enlarge_column_try(). Also changes column types.
innobase_rename_or_enlarge_columns_cache(): Also change
the column type.
When creating a field of type JSON, it will be automatically
converted to TEXT with CHECK (json_valid(`a`)), if there wasn't any
previous check for the column.
Additional things:
- Added two bug fixes that was found while testing JSON. These bug
fixes has also been pushed to 10.3 (with a test case), but as they
where minimal and needed to get this task done and tested, the fixes
are repeated here.
- CREATE TABLE ... SELECT drops constraints for columns that
are both in the create and select part.
- If one has both a default expression and check constraint for a
column, one can get the error "Expression for field `a` is refering
to uninitialized field `a`.
- Removed some duplicate MYSQL_PLUGIN_IMPORT symbols
