Hi, Sergei! I tried variations of second and third options. The gcol.gcol_keys_innodb depends on the return status and error code thrown. It turns out that simplest solution is to use Counting_error_handler alone.

Hi, Aleksey!

I don't see what you've changed. We've discussed that fix and that one isn't supposed to swap Diagnostics_area's like that. And in your new patch you do exactly the same.

Possible correct approaches:

* don't return in_use->is_error(), return the return value of vf->vcol_info->expr->walk() || vf->vcol_info->expr->save_in_field() This means that Item_field::update_vcol_processor() should also do the same, I suspect

* Use thd->push_internal_handler() and Counting_error_handler. Or, better, Turn_errors_to_warnings_handler with counting. This is the simplest one.

there's a third option:

* always return 0, because, looking how it's used, I don't really see how update_virtual_field() can ever get an error. But it's not a particularly future-proof approach. And I just might be wrong about errors.

MDEV-20015 Assertion `!in_use->is_error()' failed in TABLE::update_virtual_field

Preserve and restore statement DA.

update_virtual_field() is called as part of index rebuild in ha_myisam::repair() (MDEV-5800) which is done on bulk INSERT finish.

Assertion in update_virtual_field() was put as part of MDEV-16222 because update_virtual_field() returns in_use->is_error(). The idea: wrongly mixed semantics of error status before update_virtual_field() and the status returned by update_virtual_field(). The former can falsely influence the latter.

Preserve global error status and run update_virtual_field() with clear DA since no matter how SQL command is finished it must update the index after bulk INSERT.
