Implement MySQL 8.0 native functions: format_bytes(), format_pico_time() and ps_thread_id()

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      While this functions can be implemented as user SQL functions, they have become native on MySQL 8.0.16. They are simple and independent enough that backport them should be easy.
      Implementing them on MariaDB would allow:

      • Better compatibility with sys/performance_schema
      • Nice functions to have natively in any case for formatting reasons or even as a virtual column
      • Better MySQL compatibility, and avoiding user pain when migrating from MySQL from 8.0.16+
      • Better performance by being C rather than user functions/SQL

      MariaDB implementation

      • MariaDB doesn't have any native functions
      • MariaDB has sys schema function format_bytes, as stated in sysschema.format_bytes documentation.

      • Create native function format_pico_time - task done as contribution with PR 2558 on 11.0, commit d9808f79
      • Create native function ps_thread_id
      • Create native function ps_current_thread_id
