Description
After upgrading MariaDB an old view we are using suddenly returned different results. I have built an test case:
Two tables containing forms and position. Each form has n positions. Every position has an amount and every form has a discount, valid for all its positions:
CREATE TABLE `forms` ( |
`form_id` int(11) NOT NULL UNIQUE, |
`discount` decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, |
PRIMARY KEY (`form_id`) |
);
|
|
|
CREATE TABLE `positions` ( |
`pos_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, |
`form_id` int(11) NOT NULL, |
`amount` decimal(9,2) NOT NULL, |
PRIMARY KEY (`pos_id`) |
);
|
|
|
INSERT INTO `forms` (`form_id`, `discount`) VALUES ('1', '10'); |
INSERT INTO `positions` (`pos_id`, `form_id`, `amount`) VALUES (NULL, '1', '100'), (NULL, '1', '200'); |
When I query this, I get the right result:
100 + 200 = 300
-10% = 270
SELECT
|
F.form_id,
|
COUNT(P.pos_id) AS pos, |
SUM(P.amount) * (100 - F.discount)/100 AS total |
FROM `forms` AS F |
INNER JOIN `positions` AS P USING(form_id) |
GROUP BY form_id; |
|
Output |
+---------+-----+--------------+
|
| form_id | pos | total |
|
+---------+-----+--------------+
|
| 1 | 2 | 270.00000000 |
|
+---------+-----+--------------+
|
1 row in set (0.001 sec)
|
Now when I wrap exactly this SQL statement inside an view, a different result occurs:
CREATE VIEW view_1 AS |
SELECT
|
F.form_id,
|
COUNT(P.pos_id) AS pos, |
SUM(P.amount) * (100 - F.discount)/100 AS total |
FROM `forms` AS F |
INNER JOIN `positions` AS P USING(form_id) |
GROUP BY form_id; |
|
|
SELECT * FROM view_1; |
|
Output |
+---------+-----+--------------+
|
| form_id | pos | total |
|
+---------+-----+--------------+
|
| 1 | 2 | 29999.900000 |
|
+---------+-----+--------------+
|
1 row in set (0.001 sec)
|
Problem is obviously, that the parentheses in SUM(P.amount) * (100 - F.discount)/100 are ignored in the VIEW and therefor the multiplication is executed before the subtraction.
|
w/ parentheses |
SUM(P.amount) * (100 - F.discount)/100 |
= (100+200) * (100 - 10 )/100
|
= 300 * 90/100
|
= 300 * 0.9
|
= 270
|
|
w/o parentheses |
SUM(P.amount) * 100 - F.discount/100 |
= (100+200) * 100 - 10/100
|
= 300 * 100 - 0.9
|
= 29999.9
|
The problem occurred when upgrading a docker container to mariadb:latest. Unfortunately I cannot say which version we were running before.
So I have tested all the latest minor releases of 5.5 and 10.x from the official docker repo:
| Version | Image | Works as expected |
|---|---|---|
| 5.5.54 | 5.5.54-MariaDB-1~wheezy |  |
| 10.0.36 | 10.0.36-MariaDB-1~xenial | |
| 10.1.36 | 10.1.36-MariaDB-1~bionic | |
| 10.2.17 | 10.2.17-MariaDB-1:10.2.17+maria~bionic |  |
| 10.3.9 | 10.3.9-MariaDB-1:10.3.9+maria~bionic | |
Hope that helps. It's my first bug here
