These are different bugs, but the fixing code is the same:
if window functions are used over implicit grouping then
now the execution should follow the general path calling
the function set in JOIN::first_select.
Due to this bug many queries that contained a window function
with MIN/MAX aggregation returned wrong results.
Calculation of a MIN/MAX aggregate function uses cache objects
and a comparator object that are created and set up in
Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields () by a call of Item_sum_hybrid::setup_hybrid().
The latter binds the objects to the first argument of the
MIN/MAX function. Meanwhile window function perform aggregation
over fields of a temporary table. So binding must be done rather to
these fields. The earliest moment when setup the objects used in
MIN/max functions can be done is after all calls of the method
split_sum_func().
This patch introduces this late setup, but only for aggregate
functions used in window functions.
Probably it makes sense to use this late setup for all MIN/MAX
objects.
This patch complements the patch for bug 11138.
Without this patch some table-less queries with window functions
could cause crashes due to a memory overwrite.
The method Item_sum::print did not print opening '(' after the name
of simple window functions (like rank, dense_rank etc).
As a result the view definitions with such window functions
were formed invalid in .frm files.
Using window functions over results of implicit groupings
required special handling in JOIN::make_aggr_tables_info.
The patch made sure that the result of implicit grouping
was written into a temporary table properly.
If a window function with aggregation is over the result
set of a grouping query then the argument of the aggregate
function from the window function is allowed to be an
aggregate function itself.
This bug happens due to a conflict in the construct window_spec.
(win_ref conflicts with the non-reserved key word ROWS).
The standard SQL-2003 says that ROWS is a reserved key word.
Made this key word reserved in our grammar and removed
the conflict.
There was no implementation of the virtual method print()
for the Item_window_func class. As a result for a view
containing window function an invalid view definition could
be written in the frm file. When a query that refers to
this view was executed a syntax error was reported.
Fix window function expressions such as win_func() <operator> expr.
The problem was found in 2 places.
First, when we have complex expressions containing window functions, we
can only compute their final value _after_ we have computed the window
function's values. These values must be stored within the temporary
table that we are using, before sending them off.
This is done by performing an extra copy_funcs call before the final
end_send() call.
Second, such expressions need to have their inner arguments,
changed such that the references within those arguments point to fields within
the temporary table.
Ex: sum(t.a) over (order by t.b) + sum(t.a) over (order by t.b)
Before this fix, t.a pointed to the original table's a field. In order
to compute the sum function's value correctly, it needs to point to the
copy of this field inside the temp table.
This is done by calling split_sum_func for each argument in the
expression in turn.
The win.test results have also been updated as they contained wrong
values for such a use case.
When specifying a RANGE type frame that exceeds the partition size, both
for the top and bottom cursors we end up removing more rows than added
to the aggregate function. This happens because our TOP range cursor,
which removes values from the aggregate function, would be allowed to breach
partition boundaries, while the BOTTOM range cursor would not.
To prevent this from happening, force the TOP range cursor to only move
within the current partition, as does the BOTTOM range cursor.
