Item_null_result did not override type_handler() because of a wrong merge
of d8a9b524f2 (MDEV-14221) from 10.1.
Overriding type_handler().
Removing the old style field_type() method. It's not relevant any more.
Problem:
When handling a query like this:
VALUES ('') UNION SELECT _utf16 0x0020 COLLATE utf16_bin;
Type_handler_string_result::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes()
tried to apply character set conversion Item_type_holder,
which causes a crash on DBUG_ASSERT(0) inside Item_type_holder::val_str().
Fix:
Overriding Item_type_holder's methods to avoid this, as follows:
bool const_item() const { return false; }
bool is_expensive() { return true; }
Removing a wrong DBUG_ASSERT:
When Item_param gets "unfixed" in cleanup(), its "fixed" gets assigned
to false, while item_item keeps the value. So the assert was wrong.
Perhaps, instead of removing the assert, it was possible to reset
item_type to NO_VALUE in cleanup. But this is not very important:
it's implemented in 10.4 in a better way:
Item_param::is_fixed() always returns true and it does not need to be "unfixed".
1. Code simplification:
Item_default_value handled all these values:
a. DEFAULT(field)
b. DEFAULT
c. IGNORE
and had various conditions to distinguish (a) from (b) and from (c).
Introducing a new abstract class Item_contextually_typed_value_specification,
to handle (b) and (c), so the hierarchy now looks as follows:
Item
Item_result_field
Item_ident
Item_field
Item_default_value - DEFAULT(field)
Item_contextually_typed_value_specification
Item_default_specification - DEFAULT
Item_ignore_specification - IGNORE
2. Introducing a new virtual method is_evaluable_expression() to
determine if an Item is:
- a normal expression, so its val_xxx()/get_date() methods can be called
- or a just an expression substitute, whose value methods cannot be called.
3. Disallowing Items that are not evalualble expressions in table value
constructors.
The code erroneously allowed both:
INSERT INTO t1 (vcol) VALUES (DEFAULT);
INSERT INTO t1 (vcol) VALUES (DEFAULT(non_virtual_column));
The former is OK, but the latter is not.
Adding a new virtual method in Item:
virtual bool vcol_assignment_allowed_value() const { return false; }
Item_null, Item_param and Item_default_value override it.
Item_default_value overrides it in the way to:
- allow DEFAULT
- disallow DEFAULT(col)
Same array instance in two Item_func_in instances. First Item_func_in
instance is freed on table close. Second one is freed on
cleanup_after_query().
get_copy() depends on copy ctor for copying an item and hence does
shallow copy for default copy ctor. Use build_clone() for deep copy of
Item_func_in.
with condition_pushdown_from_having
This bug could manifest itself for queries with GROUP BY and HAVING clauses
when the HAVING clause was a conjunctive condition that depended
exclusively on grouping fields and at least one conjunct contained an
equality of the form fld=sq where fld is a grouping field and sq is a
constant subquery.
In this case the optimizer tries to perform a pushdown of the HAVING
condition into WHERE. To construct the pushable condition the optimizer
first transforms all multiple equalities in HAVING into simple equalities.
This has to be done for a proper processing of the pushed conditions
in WHERE. The multiple equalities at all AND/OR levels must be converted
to simple equalities because any multiple equality may refer to a multiple
equality at the upper level.
Before this patch the conversion was performed like this:
multiple_equality(x,f1,...,fn) => x=f1 and ... and x=fn.
When an equality item for x=fi was constructed both the items for x and fi
were cloned. If x happened to be a constant subquery that could not be
cloned the conversion failed. If the conversions of multiple equalities
previously performed had succeeded then the whole condition became in an
inconsistent state that could cause different failures.
The solution provided by the patch is:
1. to use a different conversion rule if x is a constant
multiple_equality(x,f1,...,fn) => f1=x and f2=f1 and ... and fn=f1
2. not to clone x if it's a constant.
Such conversions cannot fail and besides the result of the conversion
preserves the equivalence of f1,...,fn that can be used for other
optimizations.
This patch also made sure that expensive predicates are not pushed from
HAVING to WHERE.
Item_ref::val_(datetime|time)_packed() erroneously called
(*ref)->val_(datetime|time)_packed().
- Fixing to call (*ref)->val_(datetime|time)_packed_result().
- Backporting Item::val_(datetime|time)_packed_result() from 10.3.
- Fixing Item_field::get_date_result() to handle null_value in the same
way how Item_field::get_date() does.
These two methods:
- Item_result_field::create_tmp_field_ex()
- Item_func_user_var::create_tmp_field_ex()
had duplicate code, except that they used a different type handler.
Adding a protected method Item_result_field::create_tmp_field_ex_from_handler()
with a "const Type_handler*" parameter, and reusing it from the
two mentioned methods.
This change takes into account a column's GENERATED ALWAYS AS
expression dependcy on sql_mode's PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH and
NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION flags.
Indexed virtual columns as well as persistent generated columns are
now not allowed to have such dependencies to avoid inconsistent data
or index files on sql_mode changes.
So an error is now returned in cases like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->VARCHAR or CHAR->TEXT = ERROR
);
Functions RPAD() and RTRIM() can now remove dependency on
PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. So this can be used instead:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (RTRIM(a)) PERSISTENT
);
Note, unlike CHAR->VARCHAR and CHAR->TEXT this still works,
not RPAD(a) is needed:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v CHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->CHAR is OK
);
More sql_mode flags may affect values of generated columns.
They will be addressed separately.
See comments in sql_mode.h for implementation details.
This patch introduces the optimization that allows range optimizer to
consider index range scans that are built employing NOT NULL predicates
inferred from WHERE conditions and ON expressions.
The patch adds a new optimizer switch not_null_range_scan.
