Atomic CREATE OR REPLACE allows to keep an old table intact if the
command fails or during the crash. That is done by renaming the
original table to temporary name, as a backup and restoring it if the
CREATE fails. When the command is complete and logged the backup
table is deleted.
Atomic replace algorithm
Two DDL chains are used for CREATE OR REPLACE:
ddl_log_state_create (C) and ddl_log_state_rm (D).
1. (C) Log rename of ORIG to TMP table (Rename TMP to original).
2. Rename orignal to TMP.
3. (C) Log CREATE_TABLE_ACTION of ORIG (drops ORIG);
4. Do everything with ORIG (like insert data)
5. (D) Log drop of TMP
6. Write query to binlog (this marks (C) to be closed in
case of failure)
7. Execute drop of TMP through (D)
8. Close (C) and (D)
If there is a failure before 6) we revert the changes in (C)
Chain (D) is only executed if 6) succeded (C is closed on
crash recovery).
Foreign key errors will be found at the 1) stage.
Additional notes
- CREATE TABLE without REPLACE and temporary tables is not affected
by this commit.
set @@drop_before_create_or_replace=1 can be used to
get old behaviour where existing tables are dropped
in CREATE OR REPLACE.
- CREATE TABLE is reverted if binlogging the query fails.
- Engines having HTON_EXPENSIVE_RENAME flag set are not affected by
this commit. Conflicting tables marked with this flag will be
deleted with CREATE OR REPLACE.
- Replication execution is not affected by this commit.
- Replication will first drop the conflicting table and then
creating the new one.
- CREATE TABLE .. SELECT XID usage is fixed and now there is no need
to log DROP TABLE via DDL_CREATE_TABLE_PHASE_LOG (see comments in
do_postlock()). XID is now correctly updated so it disables
DDL_LOG_DROP_TABLE_ACTION. Note that binary log is flushed at the
final stage when the table is ready. So if we have XID in the
binary log we don't need to drop the table.
- Three variations of CREATE OR REPLACE handled:
1. CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (..);
2. CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 LIKE t2;
3. CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 SELECT ..;
- Test case uses 6 combinations for engines (aria, aria_notrans,
myisam, ib, lock_tables, expensive_rename) and 2 combinations for
binlog types (row, stmt). Combinations help to check differences
between the results. Error failures are tested for the above three
variations.
- expensive_rename tests CREATE OR REPLACE without atomic
replace. The effect should be the same as with the old behaviour
before this commit.
- Triggers mechanism is unaffected by this change. This is tested in
create_replace.test.
- LOCK TABLES is affected. Lock restoration must be done after new
table is created or TMP is renamed back to ORIG
- Moved ddl_log_complete() from send_eof() to finalize_ddl(). This
checkpoint was not executed before for normal CREATE TABLE but is
executed now.
- CREATE TABLE will now rollback also if writing to the binary
logging failed. See rpl_gtid_strict.test
backup ddl log changes
- In case of a successfull CREATE OR REPLACE we only log
the CREATE event, not the DROP TABLE event of the old table.
ddl_log.cc changes
ddl_log_execute_action() now properly return error conditions.
ddl_log_disable_entry() added to allow one to disable one entry.
The entry on disk is still reserved until ddl_log_complete() is
executed.
On XID usage
Like with all other atomic DDL operations XID is used to avoid
inconsistency between master and slave in the case of a crash after
binary log is written and before ddl_log_state_create is closed. On
recovery XIDs are taken from binary log and corresponding DDL log
events get disabled. That is done by
ddl_log_close_binlogged_events().
On linking two chains together
Chains are executed in the ascending order of entry_pos of execute
entries. But entry_pos assignment order is undefined: it may assign
bigger number for the first chain and then smaller number for the
second chain. So the execution order in that case will be reverse:
second chain will be executed first.
To avoid that we link one chain to another. While the base chain
(ddl_log_state_create) is active the secondary chain
(ddl_log_state_rm) is not executed. That is: only one chain can be
executed in two linked chains.
The interface ddl_log_link_chains() was defined in "MDEV-22166
ddl_log_write_execute_entry() extension".
Atomic info parameters in HA_CREATE_INFO
Many functions in CREATE TABLE pass the same parameters. These
parameters are part of table creation info and should be in
HA_CREATE_INFO (or whatever). Passing parameters via single
structure is much easier for adding new data and
refactoring.
Aria changes:
- Fixed issue in Aria engine with CREATE + locked tables
that data was not properly commited in some cases in
case of crashes.
InnoDB related changes (by Marko Mäkelä):
- table_name_t::is_create_or_replace(): A new predicate to check for
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE will rename an old table to
and eventually drop after creating the replacement.
- dict_table_t::parse_name(): Do acquire MDL on #sql-create- names
for partitioned tables.
- dict_table_rename_in_cache(): On CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE ... SELECT,
forget the original dict_table_t::mdl_name so that purge will
acquire MDL on the #sql-create- name instead. In this way, the
MDL_EXCLUSIVE that the CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE holds on the
user-visible name will not unnecessarily block any purge of old history
until the very end when the #sql-create- table will be dropped.
- ha_innobase::delete_table(): Do not check FOREIGN KEY consistency
when dropping an #sql-create- table.
- row_rename_table_for_mysql(): Update SYS_FOREIGN.ID also
when renaming to #sql-create- in order to avoid any
duplicate key error when CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE is
creating some FOREIGN KEY constraints by names
that existed in the old table.
Other changes:
- Removed some auto variables in log.cc for better code readability.
- Fixed old bug that CREATE ... SELECT would not be able to auto repair
a table that is part of the SELECT.
- Marked MyISAM that it does not support ROLLBACK (not required but
done for better consistency with other engines).
- maria_create_trn_for_mysql() does not register a new transaction
handler for commits. This was needed to ensure create or replace
will not end with an active transaction.
- We do not get anymore warnings about "Engine not supporting atomic
create" when doing a legal CREATE OR REPLACE on a table with
foreign key constraints.
- Updated VIDEX engine flags to disable CREATE SEQUENCE.
- Removed mysql_mutex_unlock(&LOCK_gdl) / mysql_mutex_lock(&LOCK_gdl)
around calls to binlog as these are unsafe. The binlog code uses
global variables that needs protection from other caller.
- EITS data is preserved if create or replace fails if
drop_before_create_or_replace=OFF. If ON, then create or replace
will drop EITS before the drop of the original table (as before).
- Using CREATE OR REPLACE on a encrypted table that the user cannot
decrypt will fail instead of replacing the encrypted table.
The encrypted table will unchanged.
Known issues:
- One cannot use create or replace on an InnoDB tables that has foreign
key references point to it
- CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY table is not full atomic. Any conflicting
table will always be dropped before creating a new one. (Old behaviour).

Reverted commits:
- MDEV-36685 "CREATE-SELECT may lose in binlog side-effects of
stored-routine" as it did not take into account that it safe to
clear binlogs if the created table is non transactional and there
are no other non transactional tables used.
This was done because it caused extra logging when it is not
needed (not using any non transactional tables) and it also did
not solve side effects when using statement based loggging.
A quicker way for adding new language translations to the errmsg-utf8.txt file
Summary
To generate a new language translation of MariaDB use the following pull request (PR) as a template for your work:
You will notice as part of your translation work, you will have to add your language translations to the file sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt which is found in the current directory. This file is long with many sections which can make the translation work tedious. In this README, we explain a procedure and provide a script insert_translations_into_errmsg.py that cuts down the amount of tedium in accomplishing the task.
Procedure
-
Start by grepping out all the english translations from errmsg-utf8.txt using the following grep command, and redirecting the output to a file:
grep -P "^\s*eng\s" errmsg-utf8.txt > all_english_text_in_errmsg-utf8.txt
-
Next use Google translate to obtain a translation of this file. Google translate provides the ability to upload whole files for translation. For example, this technique was used to obtain Swahili translations which yielded a file with output similar to the below (output is truncated for clarity):
sw "hashchk" sw "isamchk" sw "LA" sw "NDIYO" sw "Haiwezi kuunda faili '% -.200s' (kosa: %iE)" sw "Haiwezi kuunda jedwali %
s.%s (kosa: %iE)" sw "Haiwezi kuunda hifadhidata '% -.192s' (kosa: %iE)" sw "Haiwezi kuunda hifadhidata '% -.192s'; hifadhidata ipo"
Note that Google translate removes the leading whitespace in the translation file it generates. DO NOT add that leading whitespace back!
-
Give the translated file an appropriate name (e.g.
all_swahili_text_in_errmsg-utf8.txt) and store it in the same directory witherrmsg-utf8.txtandall_english_text_in_errmsg-utf8.txt. These 3 files will be used by the script insert_translations_into_errmsg.py. -
Proof check the auto-translations in the file you downloaded from Google translate. Note that Google might omit formatting information that will cause the compilation of MariaDB to fail, so pay attention to these.
-
Reintegrate these translations into the errmsg-utf8.txt by running the insert_translations_into_errmsg.py script as follows:
chmod ugo+x insert_translations_into_errmsg.py # Make the script executable if it is not.
./insert_translations_into_errmsg.py <errmsg-utf8.txt file>
For example, for the swahili translation, we ran the following:
./insert_translations_into_errmsg.py errmsg-utf8.txt all_english_text_in_errmsg-utf8.txt all_swahili_text_in_errmsg-utf8.txt
The script uses the
errmsg-utf8.txtfile and the grepped english file to keep track of each new translation. It then creates a file in the same directory aserrmsg-utf8.txtwith the nameerrmsg-utf8-with-new-language.txt. -
Check that the reintegration of the new translations into
errmsg-utf8-with-new-language.txtwent OK, and if it did, renameerrmsg-utf8-with-new-language.txttoerrmsg-utf8.txt:mv errmsg-utf8-with-new-language.txt errmsg-utf8.txt
-
In the header of errmsg-utf8.txt make sure to add your language long form to short form mapping. E.g. for Swahili, add:
swahili=sw
