[Maria-developers] Windows line endings in MariaDB sources again (
by Otto Kekäläinen 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hello! While trying to release 10.0.26 for Debian and Ubuntu I noticed git chokes again on Windows line endings. As our .gitattributes states that by default git should clean up the line endings, why do we keep getting new Windows line endings in new code? mariadb-10.0$ cat .gitattributes # Set the default behavior, in case people don't have core.autocrlf set. * text=auto ... storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/*.txt -text mariadb-10.0.26$ find . | xargs file | grep CRLF ./storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/boyswin.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators ./storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/expenses.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators ./storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/emp.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators ./mysql-test/std_data/loaddata7.dat: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators ./mysql-test/r/loadxml.result: ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators ./mysql-test/r/perror-win.result: ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators ./mysql-test/r/mysql_binary_mode.result: ASCII English text, with CRLF, LF line terminators ./mysql-test/r/func_regexp_pcre.result: UTF-8 Unicode C++ program text, with CRLF, CR, LF line terminators ./pcre/testdata/grepoutputN: ASCII text, with CRLF, CR, LF line terminators ./pcre/testdata/greppatN4: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators This leads for me to: dpkg-source: info: building mariadb-10.0 using existing ./mariadb-10.0_10.0.26.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are: mariadb-10.0/storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/boyswin.txt mariadb-10.0/storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/emp.txt mariadb-10.0/storage/connect/mysql-test/connect/std_data/expenses.txt dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/mariadb-10.0_10.0.26-1.diff.Yzwwhw Which means I have to do extra work with importing the upstream sources.. - Otto

[Maria-developers] 10.2 and merges (e.g. TokuDB)
by Phil Sweeney 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

Hi there, It seems 10.2.6 is still shipping with TokuDB from PS 5.6.35-80 (Feb 8th 2017). I can't see a jira issue for a 10.2 merge since 10.2.4. Perhaps intentional to help stabilise 10.2 for release? 10.0.30 also shipped with the same Feb version (in March). 10.1.23 however was released in May and still has this version from Feb, which seems unfortunate, but I know it's because it has to flow through 10.0 first. I see 10.0.31 is due to get TokuDB from PS 5.6.36-82 And that should flow into 10.1.24 soon too. However, 10.2.7 isn't due until July, so by then TokuDB version will be 5 months old in 10.2 I'm waiting on a fairly important row count fix that should appear in the next Percona Server release. When it does, if the current merging strategy continues, do I have to first wait for 10.0.32 to get it in late July, then 10.1.26 in August, then 10.2 after that? Or with 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 all being supported and needing merges, is there a new strategy on the cards to shorten this lag? Thanks! Phil

[Maria-developers] CREATE SEQUENCE is coming
by Michael Widenius 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hi! For those that are trying to port applications to MariaDB from other databases or need more features than the current AUTO_INCREMENT provides, the following may be of interest: First version of sequence is pushed to bb-10.2-sequence. It should be merged to bb-10.2-compatilbity and then to 10.3 shortly (1-2 weeks). What is working for the moment: CREATE OR REPLACE [TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE [IF NOT EXISTS] name [ INCREMENT [ BY | = ] increment ] [ MINVALUE [=] minvalue | NO MINVALUE ] [ MAXVALUE [=] maxvalue | NO MAXVALUE ] [ START [ WITH | = ] start ] [ CACHE [=] cache ] [ [ NO ] CYCLE ] ENGINE=xxx COMMENT=".." SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name; SELECT NEXTVAL(sequence_name); SELECT PREVIOUS VALUE FOR sequence_name; SELECT LASTVAL(sequence_name); SHOW CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name; SHOW CREATE TABLE sequence_name; CREATE TABLE sequence-structure ... SEQUENCE=1 ALTER TABLE sequence RENAME TO sequence2; RENAME TABLE sequence RENAME TO sequence2; DROP [TEMPORARY] SEQUENCE sequence_name [IF EXISTS] See https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-10139 for progress. See commit messages in bb-10.2-sequence for what is still to be done. Some documentation can be found at: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/create-sequence/ This will be improved as the work progress. One of the goals with the SEQUENCE implementation is that all old tools, like mysqldump, should work unchanged, while still keeping normal usage of sequence standard compatibly. The make this possible, the sequence is currently implemented as a table with a few exclusive properties. The main disadvantage of having sequence as a table is that it uses the same name space as tables. In other words, you can't have a table and a sequence of the same name. The benefit is that sequences shows up in 'show tables', one can create a sequence also with 'create table' and drop it with 'drop table'. One can select from it as from any other table. This ensures that all old tools that works with tables should work with sequences. The special properties for sequence tables are: - A sequence table has always one row. - When one creates a sequence, either with CREATE TABLE or CREATE SEQUENCE, one row will be inserted. - Normal table options works for CREATE SEQUENCE. One can use ENGINE=xxx, COMMENT=xxx etc. - If one tries to insert into a sequence table, the single row will be updated. This allows mysqldump to work but also gives the additional benefit that one can change all properties of a sequence with a single insert. New applications can of course also use ALTER SEQUENCE. - Updates to the sequence table will change the single row. - Doing a select on the sequence shows the current state of the sequence, except the values that are reserved in the cache. The column 'next_value' shows the next value not reserved by the cache. - Truncate on a sequence table will give an error. - Alter table and rename works on sequences. - If one creates a sequence with INCREMENT 0, then the sequence will use auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset for the sequence, just like AUTO_INCREMENT. This allows sequences to work reliable in a master-master environment and with Galera. Internally sequence tables are created as a normal table without rollback (InnoDB, Aria and MySAM supports this) with is wrapped by a sequence engine. This allowed me to create sequences with almost no performance impact for normal tables. (The cost is one 'if' per insert if binary log is enabled). MariaDB 10.3 will support both the ANSI SQL and Oracle syntax for creating and accessing sequences. As ANSI SQL doesn't have an easy access to the last generated value, 103 also supports 'PREVIOUS VALUE FOR sequence_name', like IBM DB2, and LASTVAL(sequence_name) as PostgreSQL. I want to thank Jianwe Zhao from Aliyun for his work on SEQUENCE in AliSQL which gave me ideas and inspiration for this work. I also want to thank Marko Mäkelä for his help in the InnoDB part of the code. There is still a lot of work to fix edge cases, but in the current implementation most major things seams to work... Comments, suggestions or questions? Regards, Monty

[Maria-developers] MDEV-13790 UNHEX() of a somewhat complicated CONCAT() returns NULL
by Alexander Barkov 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hello Sergei, Please review a patch for MDEV-13790. It removes the attempt to search the best suitable buffer and just returns the result in "str" passed to val_str(). I'm quite sure this optimization gives nothing. In can be useful only under very rare conditions, but generates so many bugs. Moreover, in 10.3 (or 10.4) we'll work on reentrant items. So all Item_xxx::tmp_buffer will be gone anyway, together with this optimization. I think an optimization proposal. Why not to introduce a new method: class Item { public: .. virtual append_to_string(String *str); .. } So for example Field_varchar could write directly to "str" passed to Item_func_concat::val_str(). This will make sure that the first allocation is done on the target "str", and "str" will always be the best buffer instead of any Item_xxx::tmp_value. Thanks!
