template<bool Packed_addon_fields>
class SortBufferIterator< Packed_addon_fields >
Fetch the records from a memory buffer.
This method is used when table->sort.addon_field is allocated. This is allocated for most SELECT queries not involving any BLOB's. In this case the records are fetched from a memory buffer.
template<bool Packed_addon_fields>
Initialize or reinitialize the iterator.
You must always call Init() before trying a Read() (but Init() does not imply Read()).
You can call Init() multiple times; subsequent calls will rewind the iterator (or reposition it, depending on whether the iterator takes in e.g. a Index_lookup) and allow you to read the records anew.
Implements RowIterator.
template<bool Packed_addon_fields>
Read a result set record from a buffer after sorting.
Get the next record from the filesort buffer, then unpack the fields into their positions in the regular record buffer.
- Template Parameters
-
Packed_addon_fields | Are the addon fields packed? This is a compile-time constant, to avoid if (....) tests during execution. |
TODO: consider templatizing on is_varlen as well. Variable / Fixed size key is currently handled by Filesort_info::get_start_of_payload
- Return values
-
0 | Record successfully read. |
-1 | There is no record to be read anymore. |
Implements RowIterator.
template<bool Packed_addon_fields>
Mark the current row buffer as containing a NULL row or not, so that if you read from it and the flag is true, you'll get only NULLs no matter what is actually in the buffer (typically some old leftover row).
This is used for outer joins, when an iterator hasn't produced any rows and we need to produce a NULL-complemented row. Init() or Read() won't necessarily reset this flag, so if you ever set is to true, make sure to also set it to false when needed.
Note that this can be called without Init() having been called first. For example, NestedLoopIterator can hit EOF immediately on the outer iterator, which means the inner iterator doesn't get an Init() call, but will still forward SetNullRowFlag to both inner and outer iterators.
TODO: We shouldn't need this. See the comments on AggregateIterator for a bit more discussion on abstracting out a row interface.
