Function Documentation

◆ agg_cmp_type()

static Item_result agg_cmp_type ( Item **  items,
uint  nitems 
)
static

Aggregates result types from the array of items.

This function aggregates result types from the array of items. Found type supposed to be used later for comparison of values of these items. Aggregation itself is performed by the item_cmp_type() function.

Parameters
itemsarray of items to aggregate the type from
nitemsnumber of items in the array
Returns
the aggregated type

◆ agg_field_type()

enum_field_types agg_field_type ( Item **  items,
uint  nitems 
)

Aggregates field types from the array of items.

Parameters
[in]itemsarray of items to aggregate the type from
[in]nitemsnumber of items in the array

This function aggregates field types from the array of items. Found type is supposed to be used later as the result field type of a multi-argument function. Aggregation itself is performed by the Field::field_type_merge() function.

Note
The term "aggregation" is used here in the sense of inferring the result type of a function from its argument types.
Returns
aggregated field type.

◆ append_decimal_value()

static bool append_decimal_value ( Item comparand,
bool  is_multi_column_key,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

◆ append_double_value()

bool  is_null,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

◆ append_hash_for_json_value()

static bool append_hash_for_json_value ( Item comparand,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

◆ append_hash_for_string_value()

static bool append_hash_for_string_value ( Item comparand,
const CHARSET_INFO character_set,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

◆ append_int_value()

static bool append_int_value ( longlong  value,
bool  is_null,
bool  unsigned_flag,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

◆ append_string_value()

static bool append_string_value ( Item comparand,
const CHARSET_INFO character_set,
size_t  max_char_length,
bool  pad_char_to_full_length,
bool  is_multi_column_key,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

◆ cache_converted_constant()

static Item ** cache_converted_constant ( THD thd,
Item **  value,
Item **  cache_item,
Item_result  type 
)
static

Convert and cache a constant.

Parameters
thdThe current session.
valueAn item to cache
[out]cache_itemPlaceholder for the cache item
typeComparison type

When given item is a constant and its type differs from comparison type then cache its value to avoid type conversion of this constant on each evaluation. In this case the value is cached and the reference to the cache is returned. Original value is returned otherwise.

Returns
cache item or original value.

◆ change_item_tree_if_needed()

static void change_item_tree_if_needed ( Item **  place,
Item new_value 
)
static

Check if (*place) and new_value points to different Items and call THD::change_item_tree() if needed.

This function is a workaround for implementation deficiency in Item_func_case. The problem there is that the 'args' attribute contains Items from different expressions.

The function must not be used elsewhere and will be remove eventually.

)
inlinestatic

◆ collect_cmp_types()

static uint collect_cmp_types ( Item **  items,

)
static

Collects different types for comparison of first item with each other items.

Parameters
itemsArray of items to collect types from
nitemsNumber of items in the array
skip_nullsDon't collect types of NULL items if true
Note
This function collects different result types for comparison of the first item in the list with each of the remaining items in the 'items' array.
Return values
0Error, row type incompatibility has been detected
<>0 Bitmap of collected types - otherwise

static longlong compare_between_int_result ( bool  compare_as_temporal_dates,
bool  compare_as_temporal_times,
bool  negated,
Item **  args,
bool *  null_value

[out]null_valueset to true if result is not true/false
Return values
trueif: args[1] <= args[0] <= args[2]

◆ compare_pair_for_nulls()

static bool compare_pair_for_nulls ( Item a,
Item b,
bool *  result 
)
static

Compare two argument items, or a pair of elements from two argument rows, for NULL values.

Parameters
aFirst item
bSecond item
[out]resultTrue if both items are NULL, false otherwise, when return value is true.
Returns
true if at least one of the items is NULL

◆ convert_constant_item()

static bool convert_constant_item ( THD thd,
Item_field field_item,
Item **  item,
bool *  converted 
)
static

Convert a constant item to an int and replace the original item.

The function converts a constant expression or string to an integer. On successful conversion the original item is substituted for the result of the item evaluation. This is done when comparing DATE/TIME of different formats and also when comparing bigint to strings (in which case strings are converted to bigints).

Parameters
thdthread handle
field_itemitem will be converted using the type of this field
[in,out]itemreference to the item to convert
[out]convertedTrue if a replacement was done.
Note
This function may be called both at prepare and optimize stages. When called at optimize stage, ensure that we record transient changes.
Returns
false if success, true if error

◆ ensure_multi_equality_fields_are_available()

static void ensure_multi_equality_fields_are_available ( Item **  args,
int  arg_idx,
table_map  available_tables,
bool  replace,
bool *  found 
)
static

◆ extract_value_for_hash_join()

static bool extract_value_for_hash_join ( THD thd,
const HashJoinCondition join_condition,
const Arg_comparator comparator,
bool  is_left_argument,
bool  is_multi_column_key,
String join_key_buffer 
)
static

Extract the value from the item and append it to the output buffer "join_key_buffer" in a memcmp-able format.

The value extracted here will be used as the key in the hash table structure, where comparisons between keys are based on memcmp. Thus, it is important that the values extracted are memcmp-able, so for string values, we are basically creating a sort key. Other types (DECIMAL and FLOAT(M,N) and DOUBLE(M, N)) may be wrapped in a typecast in order to get a memcmp-able format from both sides of the condition. See Item_eq_base::create_cast_if_needed for more details.

Parameters
thdthe thread handler
join_conditionThe hash join condition from which to get the value to write into the buffer.
comparatorthe comparator set up by Item_cmpfunc. This gives us the context in which the comparison is done. It is also needed for extracting the value in case of DATE/TIME/DATETIME/YEAR values in some cases
is_left_argumentwhether or not the provided item is the left argument of the condition. This is needed in case the comparator has set up a custom function for extracting the value from the item, as there are two separate functions for each side of the condition
is_multi_column_keytrue if the hash join key has multiple columns (that is, the hash join condition is a conjunction)
[out]join_key_bufferthe output buffer where the extracted value is appended
Returns
true if a SQL NULL value was found

◆ find_and_adjust_equal_fields()

void find_and_adjust_equal_fields ( Item item,
table_map  available_tables,
bool  replace,
bool *  found 
)

◆ get_date_from_str()

static ulonglong get_date_from_str ( THD thd,
String str,
enum_mysql_timestamp_type  warn_type,
const char *  warn_name,
bool *  error_arg 
)
static

Convert date provided in a string to its packed temporal int representation.

Parameters
[in]thdthread handle
[in]stra string to convert
[in]warn_typetype of the timestamp for issuing the warning
[in]warn_namefield name for issuing the warning
[out]error_argcould not extract a DATE or DATETIME

Convert date provided in the string str to the int representation. If the string contains wrong date or doesn't contain it at all then a warning is issued. The warn_type and the warn_name arguments are used as the name and the type of the field when issuing the warning.

Returns
converted value. 0 on error and on zero-dates – check 'failure'

◆ get_datetime_value()

longlong get_datetime_value ( THD thd,
Item ***  item_arg,
Item **  ,
const Item warn_item,
bool *  is_null 
)

Retrieve correct DATETIME value from given item.

Parameters
thdthread handle
item_argitem to retrieve DATETIME value from
warn_itemitem for issuing the conversion warning
[out]is_nulltrue <=> the item_arg is null

Retrieves the correct DATETIME value from given item for comparison by the compare_datetime() function. If item's result can be compared as longlong then its int value is used and its string value is used otherwise. Strings are always parsed and converted to int values by the get_date_from_str() function. This allows us to compare correctly string dates with missed insignificant zeros. In order to compare correctly DATE and DATETIME items the result of the former are treated as a DATETIME with zero time (00:00:00).

Returns
the DATETIME value, all ones if Item is NULL

◆ get_histogram_selectivity()

static double get_histogram_selectivity ( THD thd,
const Field field,
histograms::enum_operator  op,
const Item_func item_func 
)
static

Try to find the selectivity of an Item_func (predicate) using a histogram.

Parameters
thdThe current thread.
fieldThe field for which we will look for a histogram.
opThe comparison operator of item_func.
item_funcThe predicate.
Returns
The selectivity if a histogram was found and the arguments of item_func allowed use of a histogram. Otherwise, kUndefinedSelectivity.

◆ get_json_arg()

static bool get_json_arg ( Item arg,
String value,
String tmp,
Json_wrapper result,
Json_scalar_holder **  scalar 
)
static

Get one of the arguments to the comparator as a JSON value.

Parameters
[in]argpointer to the argument
[in,out]valuebuffer used for reading the JSON value
[in,out]tmpbuffer used for converting string values to the correct charset, if necessary
[out]resultwhere to store the result
[in,out]scalarpointer to a location with pre-allocated memory used for JSON scalars that are converted from SQL scalars
Return values
falseon success
trueon failure

◆ get_mysql_time_from_str()

bool get_mysql_time_from_str ( THD thd,
String str,
enum_mysql_timestamp_type  warn_type,
const char *  warn_name,
MYSQL_TIME l_time

[in]strA string to convert
[in]warn_typeType of the timestamp for issuing the warning
[in]warn_nameField name for issuing the warning
[out]l_timeThe MYSQL_TIME objects is initialized.

Parses a date provided in the string str into a MYSQL_TIME object. If the string contains an incorrect date or doesn't correspond to a date at all then a warning is issued. The warn_type and the warn_name arguments are used as the name and the type of the field when issuing the warning. If any input was discarded (trailing or non-timestamp-y characters), return value will be true.

Returns
Status flag
Return values
falseSuccess.
TrueIndicates failure.

◆ get_mysql_time_from_str_no_warn()

bool get_mysql_time_from_str_no_warn ( THD thd,
String str,
MYSQL_TIME l_time,
MYSQL_TIME_STATUS status 
)

bool *  is_null 
)
static

Retrieves correct TIME value from the given item.

Parameters
[in,out]item_argitem to retrieve TIME value from
[out]is_nulltrue <=> the item_arg is null
Returns

Item **  cache_arg,
const Item warn_item,
bool *  is_null

Returns
Selectivity estimate.

◆ IndexSelectivityOfUnknownValue()

static double IndexSelectivityOfUnknownValue ( const Field field)
static

Estimate the selectivity of a predicate of type field=expression, using an index containing 'field'.

('expression' is assumed to be independent of the table that 'field' belongs to, meaning that this function should not be called for e.g. "t1.f1=t1.f2+1").

Parameters
fieldThe field for which we estimate the selectivity.
Returns
The selectivity estimate, or kUndefinedSelectivity if no suitable index was found.

◆ is_non_const_field_or_function()

bool is_non_const_field_or_function ( const Item item)
inline

Checks that the argument is an aggregation function, window function, a built-in non-constant function or a non-constant field.

WL#12108: it excludes stored procedures and functions, user defined functions and also does not update the content of expressions inside Value_generator since Optimize is not called after the expression is unpacked.

Parameters
itemto be checked
Returns
true for non-const field or functions, false otherwise

◆ make_cmp_item_json()

Parameters
pcParse context, including memroot for Item construction
itemAny expression, if not a boolean expression, convert it
Returns
= NULL Error <> NULL A boolean expression, possibly constructed as described above
Note
Due to the special conditions of a MATCH expression (it is both a function returning a floating point value and it may be used standalone in the WHERE clause), it is wrapped inside a special Item_func_match_predicate, instead of forming a non-equality.

static

Return an an unsigned Item_int containing the value of the year as stored in field.

The item is typed as a YEAR.

Item item2 
)
static

Compare row signature of two expressions.

Parameters
item1first expression
item2second expression
Returns
true if row types are compatible, false otherwise.

The function checks that two expressions have compatible row signatures i.e. that the number of columns they return are the same and that if they are both row expressions then each component from the first expression has a row signature compatible with the signature of the corresponding component of the second expression.
