Currently, if a user wants to require TLS for every connection made
over the network, then every user account on the system needs to be
created with "REQUIRE SSL" or one of the other TLS options.
Implementing a require_secure_transport system varuable (which,
in particular, can be set using the --require_secure_transport=ON
command line option) in the MariaDB Server would make it a lot
easier to require TLS (or other secure transport) system-wide.
This patch implements this new system variable, adds the ability
to set it with SQL statements, from the command line and from the
configuration file, and also contains improvements for mtr that allow
the user to establish non-secure TCP/IP connections (for example,
to verify the operation of the new option).
mark big_tables deprecated, the server can put temp tables on disk
as needed avoiding "table full" errors.
in case someone would really need to force a tmp table to be created
on disk from the start and for testing allow tmp_memory_table_size
to be set to 0.
fix tests to use that instead (and add a test that it actually
works).
make sure in-memory TREE size limit is never 0 (it's [ab]using
tmp_memory_table_size at the moment)
remove few sys_vars.*_basic tests
This allows one to run the test suite even if any of the following
options are changed:
- character-set-server
- collation-server
- join-cache-level
- log-basename
- max-allowed-packet
- optimizer-switch
- query-cache-size and query-cache-type
- skip-name-resolve
- table-definition-cache
- table-open-cache
- Some innodb options
etc
Changes:
- Don't print out the value of system variables as one can't depend on
them to being constants.
- Don't set global variables to 'default' as the default may not
be the same as the test was started with if there was an additional
option file. Instead save original value and reset it at end of test.
- Test that depends on the latin1 character set should include
default_charset.inc or set the character set to latin1
- Test that depends on the original optimizer switch, should include
default_optimizer_switch.inc
- Test that depends on the value of a specific system variable should
set it in the test (like optimizer_use_condition_selectivity)
- Split subselect3.test into subselect3.test and subselect3.inc to
make it easier to set and reset system variables.
- Added .opt files for test that required specfic options that could
be changed by external configuration files.
- Fixed result files in rockdsb & tokudb that had not been updated for
a while.
This task involves the implementation for the optimizer trace.
This feature produces a trace for any SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/,
which contains information about decisions taken by the optimizer during
the optimization phase (choice of table access method, various costs,
transformations, etc). This feature would help to tell why some decisions were
taken by the optimizer and why some were rejected.
Trace is session-local, controlled by the @@optimizer_trace variable.
To enable optimizer trace we need to write:
set @@optimizer_trace variable= 'enabled=on';
To display the trace one can run:
SELECT trace FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
This task also involves:
MDEV-18489: Limit the memory used by the optimizer trace
introduces a switch optimizer_trace_max_mem_size which limits
the memory used by the optimizer trace. This was implemented by
Sergei Petrunia.
The code was rewritten in the same way as the code of
ha_partition::multi_range_read_info_const() had been rewritten
earlier.
The fix allowed to run spider.partition_mrr.
