Remove GIS data types from keyword list in lex.h

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      GIS data types are declared as (non-reserved) keywords in lex.h:

        { "GEOMETRY",                SYM(GEOMETRY_SYM)},
        { "GEOMETRYCOLLECTION",SYM(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION)},
        { "LINESTRING",      SYM(LINESTRING)},
        { "MULTILINESTRING", SYM(MULTILINESTRING)},
        { "MULTIPOINT",      SYM(MULTIPOINT)},
        { "MULTIPOLYGON",    SYM(MULTIPOLYGON)},
        { "POINT",           SYM(POINT_SYM)},
        { "POLYGON",         SYM(POLYGON)},
      

      There is an sql_yacc.yy rule to parse GIS data types:

      spatial_type:
                GEOMETRY_SYM       { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_geometry); }
              | GEOMETRYCOLLECTION { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_geometrycollection);
              | POINT_SYM          { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_point); }
              | MULTIPOINT         { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_multipoint); }
              | LINESTRING         { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_linestring); }
              | MULTILINESTRING    { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_multilinestring); }
              | POLYGON            { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_polygon); }
              | MULTIPOLYGON       { $$= GEOM_TYPE(&type_handler_multipolygon); }
              ;
      

      There is also another sql_yacc.yy rule to create GIS contructor functions:

              | GEOMETRYCOLLECTION '(' expr_list ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_geometrycollection(thd, *$3));
                }
              | LINESTRING '(' expr_list ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_linestring(thd, *$3));
                }
              | MULTILINESTRING '(' expr_list ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_multilinestring(thd, *$3));
                }
              | MULTIPOINT '(' expr_list ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_multipoint(thd, *$3));
                }
              | MULTIPOLYGON '(' expr_list ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_multipolygon(thd, *$3));
                }
              | POINT_SYM '(' expr ',' expr ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_point(thd, $3, $5));
                }
              | POLYGON '(' expr_list ')'
                {
                  $$= GEOM_NEW(thd, Item_func_polygon(thd, *$3));
                }
      

      Under terms of this task we'll make GIS data types more plugable:

      • remove the above keyword definitions and grammar rules
      • add a new method in Type_handler:

        static handler_by_name(const LEX_CSTRING &name);
        

      • add a new method in Type_handler:

          virtual Item *make_constructor_item(THD *thd, List<Item> *args) const
          {
            return NULL;
          }
        

      • The grammar to parse a GIS data type will turn into:

               | IDENT_sys float_options srid_option
                 {
                   const Type_handler *h;
                   if (!(h= Type_handler::handler_by_name_or_error($1)))
                     MYSQL_YYABORT;
                   $$.set(h, $2);
                   Lex->charset= &my_charset_bin;
                 }
               ;
        

      • The grammar to parse GIS contructor functions will be removed, and a new code path will be added into the rule function_call_generic instead, with approximately this diff:

        -            builder= find_native_function_builder(thd, &$1);
        -            if (builder)
        +            if ((h= Type_handler::handler_by_name($1)) &&
        +                (item= h->make_constructor_item(thd, $4)))
        +            {
        +              // Found a constructor with a proper argument count
        +            }
        +            else if ((builder= find_native_function_builder(thd, &$1))
        

      These changes will help to add pluggable data types and new built-in data types in a simple way, without changes in sql_yacc.yy.
