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.
The cause of this was several different bugs:
- When using binary logging with binlog_row_image=FULL
the all bits in read_set was set, which caused a
different (wrong) pattern for marking vcol_set.
- TABLE::mark_virtual_columns_for_write() didn't in all
cases mark vcol_set with the vcol_field.
- TABLE::update_virtual_fields() has to update all
vcol fields on REPLACE if binary logging with FULL
is used.
- VCOL_UPDATE_INDEXED should update all vcol fields part
of an index that was not updated by VCOL_UPDATE_FOR_READ
- max_row_length() calculated length of NULL and not
used fields. This didn't cause any crash, but used
more memory than needed.
