Oracle SQL accepts statements like
PREPARE stmt FROM 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (:a,:b)';
PREPARE stmt FROM 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (:"a",:"b")';
That is, the variable may be surrounded by quotes.
The embedded parser of 10.3 parses things slightly differently than
how the embedded parser of earlier releases does. When comparing the
output of different query classifiers you need to be able to specify
with what qc_sqlite should be compatible with.
EXPLAIN statements are no longer parsed completely as doing so makes
it hard to modify the grammar for the needs or Oracle SQL.
Consequently, for an EXPLAIN statement you now bascially only get the
type and the operation (the newly added QUERY_OP_EXPLAIN and QUERY_OP_SHOW).
The other information is not interesting and is related to
information_schema and similar tables.
By default, only the essentials - the type and the operation - of
a statement will be collected and only if fields, tables, functions
and databases are explicitly asked for, will they be collected.
However, a statement will be parsed at most twice; if parsing is
needed a second time then all information will be collected.
If it is known that some particular information is needed, then
qc_parse() can be called explicitly to ensure it is collected
at first parsing.
It is now possible to specify what information the caller is interested
in. With this the cost for collecting information during the query parsing
that nobody is interested in can be avoided.
GCC on CentOS6 thinks there is an array-bounds error in the sqlite
code. As that code is outside our hands, it is easiest to instruct
GCC not to treat it as an error.
As every thread has a separate (in-memory) database, i.e. not
just a separate _connection_, sqlite can be compiled in singe-thread
mode, which means that there will be *no* locking.
Since the whole preparable statement will be available, it is
superfluous to provide a function using which the operation of
the preparable statement can be obtained.
This function will return the preparable statement of a PREPARE
statement as a COM_QUERY GWBUF. That is, once obtained, the normal
query classifier functions can be used for obtaining information
about the preparable statement itself.
- Only types of fixed size used in API interface
- The actual function return value specifies whether the parsing
process succeeded, while "logical" return values are returned
as out arguments.
The wrapper function currently ignores the function return value.
MXS-1070
Now both qc_mysqlembedded and qc_sqlite return the same stuff
for the same statement, and both include also operators in
addition to pure functions. Whether that is the right approach,
is still subject to debate.
However, if we want to make it possible to disable e.g. the
use of concat as in "select concat(a) from t", where a is a string,
to prevent the bypassing of the masking filter, then conceptually
it should be possible to prevent "select a+0 from t", where a is an
int, as well.
The setting up and the initialization of the query classifier has
now been separated. The gateway explicitly sets up the query
classifier (i.e. chooses which one to use and what arguments to
provide), but the actual initialization is performed as part of
the general module initialization.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
qc_get_table_names() and qc_get_database_names() now always set
the number items, also in case of error. That is, it is now always
safe to start iterating using the number of items without first
checking the returned pointer.
