With this change, for a statement like
SELECT t2.a FROM t1 t2;
the affected field is reported as t1.a and not as t2.a, as it
was before.
For a statement like
SELECT t.f FROM d.t;
qc_mysqlembedded will now return "d.t.f" as the affected field,
while qc_sqlite will still return "t.f" as both implementations did
before. In qc_mysqlembedded's case that is a side-effect of the
alias handling. To get qc_sqlite to return the same (which would
be good), the table names would have to be collected in a smarter
way than they are now.
The default sql mode must now be provided explicitly when the query
classifier is setup. This is in preparation for "sql_mode" becoming
a global configuration parameter of MaxScale.
That's where it belongs as it is only the mysql client protocol that
will use it. It's a bit unfortunate that the qc test program compare
now needs to include a file from a protocol module directory, but
the fact is that the query classifier implementation and the test
programs should actually be *under* the mysql client protocol module.
Sometimes you want to know whether the parsing using different
queryclassifiers differs, irrespective of whether they agree
upon the outcome or not.
With -R it is now possible to cause a difference in the return
value of qc_parse() to be printed.
If the version if >= 10.2.3 recognized/builtin Json function should
be typed as QUERY_TYPE_READ while unrecognized ones should be typed
as QUERY_TYPE_READ | QUERY_TYPE_WRITE.
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.
The process and thread initialization/finalization of the query
classifier plugins is handled using the process and thread
initialization/finalization functions in the module object.
However, the top-level query classifier will also need to perform
process and thread initialization when transaction boundaries are
detected using regular expressions.
