==== Description ====
Flashback can rollback the instances/databases/tables to an old snapshot.
It's implement on Server-Level by full image format binary logs (--binlog-row-image=FULL), so it supports all engines.
Currently, it’s a feature inside mysqlbinlog tool (with --flashback arguments).
Because the flashback binlog events will store in the memory, you should check if there is enough memory in your machine.
==== New Arguments to mysqlbinlog ====
--flashback (-B)
It will let mysqlbinlog to work on FLASHBACK mode.
==== New Arguments to mysqld ====
--flashback
Setup the server to use flashback. This enables binary log in row mode
and will enable extra logging for DDL's needed by flashback feature
==== Example ====
I have a table "t" in database "test", we can compare the output with "--flashback" and without.
#client/mysqlbinlog /data/mysqldata_10.0/binlog/mysql-bin.000001 -vv -d test -T t --start-datetime="2013-03-27 14:54:00" > /tmp/1.sql
#client/mysqlbinlog /data/mysqldata_10.0/binlog/mysql-bin.000001 -vv -d test -T t --start-datetime="2013-03-27 14:54:00" -B > /tmp/2.sql
Then, importing the output flashback file (/tmp/2.log), it can flashback your database/table to the special time (--start-datetime).
And if you know the exact postion, "--start-postion" is also works, mysqlbinlog will output the flashback logs that can flashback to "--start-postion" position.
==== Implement ====
1. As we know, if binlog_format is ROW (binlog-row-image=FULL in 10.1 and later), all columns value are store in the row event, so we can get the data before mis-operation.
2. Just do following things:
2.1 Change Event Type, INSERT->DELETE, DELETE->INSERT.
For example:
INSERT INTO t VALUES (...) ---> DELETE FROM t WHERE ...
DELETE FROM t ... ---> INSERT INTO t VALUES (...)
2.2 For Update_Event, swapping the SET part and WHERE part.
For example:
UPDATE t SET cols1 = vals1 WHERE cols2 = vals2
--->
UPDATE t SET cols2 = vals2 WHERE cols1 = vals1
2.3 For Multi-Rows Event, reverse the rows sequence, from the last row to the first row.
For example:
DELETE FROM t WHERE id=1; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=2; ...; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=n;
--->
DELETE FROM t WHERE id=n; ...; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=2; DELETE FROM t WHERE id=1;
2.4 Output those events from the last one to the first one which mis-operation happened.
For example:
Most notably, this includes MDEV-11623, which includes a fix and
an upgrade procedure for the InnoDB file format incompatibility
that is present in MariaDB Server 10.1.0 through 10.1.20.
In other words, this merge should address
MDEV-11202 InnoDB 10.1 -> 10.2 migration does not work
* Remove duplicate lines from tests
* Use thd instead of current_thd
* Remove extra wsrep_binlog_format_names
* Correctly merge union patch from 5.5 wrt duplicate rows.
* Correctly merge SELinux changes into 10.1
- Atomic writes are enabled by default
- Automatically detect if device supports atomic write and use it if
atomic writes are enabled
- Remove ATOMIC WRITE options from CREATE TABLE
- Atomic write is a device option, not a table options as the table may
crash if the media changes
- Add support for SHANNON SSD cards
mysqldump/mysql_install_db.exe fail
The bug is described in
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback/Details/1902345
When reading from a pipe in text mode, using CRT function such as fread(),
some newlines may be lost. Workaround is to use binary mode on reading side
and if necessary, replace \r\n with \n.
Add some event types for the compressed event, there are:
QUERY_COMPRESSED_EVENT,
WRITE_ROWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT_V1,
UPDATE_ROWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT_V1,
DELETE_POWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT_V1,
WRITE_ROWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT,
UPDATE_ROWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT,
DELETE_POWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT.
These events inheritance the uncompressed editor events. One of their constructor functions and write
function have been overridden for uncompressing and compressing. Anything but this is totally the same.
On slave, The IO thread will uncompress and convert them When it receiving the events from the master.
So the SQL and worker threads can be stay unchanged.
Now we use zlib as compress algorithm. It maybe support other algorithm in the future.
filesystem case sensitivity.
Hostname can include characters, which are invalid for use as filename,
thus case sensitivity test will fail to produce meaningful results.
This is similar to MysQL Worklog 3253, but with
a different implementation. The disk format and
SQL syntax is identical with MySQL 5.7.
Fetures supported:
- "Any" ammount of any trigger
- Supports FOLLOWS and PRECEDES to be
able to put triggers in a certain execution order.
Implementation details:
- Class Trigger added to hold information about a trigger.
Before this trigger information was stored in a set of lists in
Table_triggers_list and in Table_triggers_list::bodies
- Each Trigger has a next field that poinst to the next Trigger with the
same action and time.
- When accessing a trigger, we now always access all linked triggers
- The list are now only used to load and save trigger files.
- MySQL trigger test case (trigger_wl3253) added and we execute these
identically.
- Even more gracefully handling of wrong trigger files than before. This
is useful if a trigger file uses functions or syntax not provided by
the server.
- Each trigger now has a "Created" field that shows when the trigger was
created, with 2 decimals.
Other comments:
- Many of the changes in test files was done because of the new "Created"
field in the trigger file. This shows up in SHOW ... TRIGGER and when
using information_schema.trigger.
- Don't check if all memory is released if on uses --gdb; This is needed
to be able to get a list from safemalloc of not freed memory while
debugging.
- Added option to trim_whitespace() to know how many prefix characters
was skipped.
- Changed a few ulonglong sql_mode to sql_mode_t, to find some wrong usage
of sql_mode.
RESTRICTED IN ALL GA RELEASES
Back port of WL#6782 to 5.5 and 5.6. This also includes
back port of Bug#20771331, Bug#20741572 and Bug#20770671.
Bug#24695274 and Bug#24679907 are also handled along with
this.
Server uses gethostname() for the default base name for pid/log files.
If a character is not representable in current ANSI encoding, gethostname
replaces it with question mark. Thus, generated log file name would also
contain a question mark. However, Windows forbids certain characters in
filenames, among them '?'.
This is described in MSDN article https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx
At attempts to create the file via freopen() fails, thus server would not
be able to start.
The fix is to verify hostname and fall back to "mysql", if
invalid characters are found.
it was supposed to be used in command-line tools only.
Different fix for 4e5473862e:
Bug#24388746: PRIVILEGE ESCALATION AND RACE CONDITION USING CREATE TABLE
When a deadlock kill is detected inside the storage engine, the kill
is not done immediately, to avoid calling back into the storage engine
kill_query method with various lock subsystem mutexes held. Instead the
kill is queued and done later by a slave background thread.
This patch in preparation for fixing TokuDB optimistic parallel
replication, as well as for removing locking hacks in InnoDB/XtraDB in
10.2.
