good question :) I don't know. this line apparently goes back at least
to 2001, there is no revision history beyond that date.

It could be that it allocates twice as much columns as necessary
nowadays, even if it made sense many years ago.

This isnt O(n^2), because hashes are stored in the index, in a b-tree.
So, it's O(n*log(n)).

As you see, we already have O(n*log(n)). But if we put these hashes into
a hash table in memory (instead of just sorting them), the cost will go
down to O(n). Sounds interesting :)

2016-03-23 Thread Sachin Setia
Hello Sergei
Today I made some progress related to project.
MyISAM/ARIA
Got clear understanding of how to implement unique index for query like
create table tbl(col1 int primary key , col2 blob ,col3 blob ,
unique(col2,col3))
InnoDB
Reading about it.Actually Sir, I want to do this project whether I will
select in
gsoc or not(because InnoDB is amazing).
Proposal
Still Writing

Actually sir i have one doubt in table2myisam function definition

recinfo_out, (share->fields * 2 + 2) * sizeof(MI_COLUMNDEF),
^ ^   ^
why we allocating these many number of recinfo because we only require
share->fields + 1 .

One more doubt in optimizing "select distinct coloumn_name(here it is a
blob coloumn)  from table"
query. In mi write which take one record and write it we check for unique
constraint. It takes O(n^2)
time. I was thinking if we can optimize this by first fetching the whole
table record and calculating hash for
each record.Instead of comparing one hash with all other we can sort the
hashes and ignore the duplicate
(we can make an array of 0 and 1 and if it 1 that means record is not
duplicate and for 0 it is duplicte)
.buy doing this we can reduce the time complexity to O(nlog(n)).This will
work fast if we have enough buffer_storage
in case of low buffer memory this will turn to tradeoff between cpu and i/o
requests because in order to sort keys
in low ram we need to use m way merge sort which ultimately result in more
I/O because we have to send back records to
hard disk which we can not store in ram and then once again fetch unique
record for storing in tmp table.But we can get
performance if records fit in ram .For caching the records  we can do it
over here
sql/sql_select.cc
  18313 error= info->read_record(info);

*I* did not suggest that. But you're welcome to try, of course.
If you think that just MyISAM is too simple for a three month project.

Re: [Maria-developers] Gsoc 2016 Mdev 371 Unique index for blob

2016-03-22 Thread Sachin Setia
Hello Sergei
Actually I was prototyping for blob and varchar   for aria and myisam
storage engine.
My prototype worked for complex definations like
craete table(abc int primary key, blob_col blob unique, varchar_col
varchar(1000) unique) engine=myisam;
Solved the issue of frm file incosistance.

As you suggested for doing it for innodb i am current working on it.Innodb
does not natively support hash based index.
when we run select distinct column from tbl;
it use create_internal_tmp_table() which uses maria storage engine for
creating tmp table.
But query like this works
MariaDB [sachin]> create table iu2(abc blob unique);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)

MariaDB [sachin]> insert into iu2 values(1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec)

MariaDB [sachin]> insert into iu2 values(1);
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '1' for key 'abc'
this query does not use hash but it simply compares values
Will write a proposal shortly.

It's a prototype, after all. It's much more important that you

Thanks sir for your reply
I have done two thing
1. First commenting some code to remove the error we get when we try to
create unique blob
file=sql/sql_table.cc
line no=3877
/*
* Gsoc 2016
* I am implementing this so comment this stuff out
 */
//  if (!column->length)
//  {
//my_error(ER_BLOB_KEY_WITHOUT_LENGTH, MYF(0), column->field_name.str);
//DBUG_RETURN(TRUE);
//  }


2. here I am assuming this thing for for just prototyping
Assumption My table will just contain two column first will be primary key
second will be unique blob
So basically what i am doing is create a custom unique key and passing it
to mi_create
Of course in real patching i will replace this code with logic like if i
have m unique blobs (i will find this using key_length ==0)
create m unique key array and pass it

file=storage/myisam/ha_myisam.cc
line no=2067
//some tweak in share for prototype
share->keys--;
share->uniques=1;
MI_UNIQUEDEF uniquedef;
MI_KEYDEF keydef_blob=*(keydef+1);
bzero((char*) &uniquedef,sizeof(uniquedef));
uniquedef.keysegs=1;

Dear Developers,

I was doing prototype for this project as Mr Sergei Golubchik suggested

"This task is about creating MI_UNIQUEDEF "uniques" instead of MI_KEYDEF
"keys" for long unique constraints."

Here is my output

MariaDB [sachin]> create table tbl(int_key int primary key , blob_key
blob unique);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

MariaDB [sachin]> insert into tbl values(1,1);

MariaDB [sachin]> insert into tbl values(2,2);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Hi, Sachin!

First: please send questions like this to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net
it's a public mailing list dedicated to MySQL and MariaDB internals, source
code, and related things. I am subscribed, so I'll see you mail there, and you
may be sure I will, because it won't be accidentally catched by my spam filter,
or sorted out in some obscure folder. Furthermore other subscribers will see
your question and could reply if I will be not available (e.g. I could be
travelling).
Thank you.

There isn't much I can answer - your question is too generic.
"pack_flag" is a set of flags that is stored per field in the frm file
and it describes some aspects of the field.

Search for "pack_flag" in the source tree. If you ask a specific
question, I'll be able to provide a more detailed answer.

In mysql_prepare_create_table  there is a function
name prepare_create_field which sets the sql_field pack flag . for a1 field
it sets the pack flag =27  . do not quiet get what it means.
