The file name extension can be omitted (which makes the statement look\nthe same on all architectures).\n\nThe shared library must be located in the plugin directory (that is, the\ndirectory named by the plugin_dir system variable). The library must be in the\nplugin directory itself, not in a subdirectory. By default, plugin_dir is\nplugin directory under the directory named by the pkglibdir configuration\nvariable, but it can be changed by setting the value of plugin_dir at server\nstartup. For example, set its value in a my.cnf file:\n\n[mysqld]\nplugin_dir=/path/to/plugin/directory\nIf the value of plugin_dir is a relative path name, it is taken to be relative\nto the MySQL base directory (the value of the basedir system variable).\n\nINSTALL PLUGIN adds a line to the mysql.plugin table that describes the\nplugin.

It is also possible to\nuninstall a plugin, edit my.cnf, and install the plugin again. Restarting the\nplugin this way enables it to the new option values without a server restart.\n\nINSTALL PLUGIN also loads and initializes the plugin code to make the plugin\navailable for use.

These can be\nanything from new storage engines, plugins for enhancing full-text parsing, or\neven small enhancements, such as a plugin to get a timestamp as an integer.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information\n---------------------------\n\nThere are a number of ways to see which plugins are currently active.\n\nA server almost always has a large number of active plugins, because the\nserver contains a large number of built-in plugins, which are active by\ndefault and cannot be uninstalled.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information with SHOW PLUGINS\n---------------------------------------------\n\nThe SHOW PLUGINS statement can be used to query information about all active\nplugins.\n\nFor example:\n\nSHOW PLUGINS\\G;\n********************** 1. row **********************\n Name: binlog\n Status: ACTIVE\n Type: STORAGE ENGINE\nLibrary: NULL\nLicense: GPL\n********************** 2. row **********************\n Name: mysql_native_password\n Status: ACTIVE\n Type: AUTHENTICATION\nLibrary: NULL\nLicense: GPL\n********************** 3. row **********************\n Name: mysql_old_password\n Status: ACTIVE\n Type: AUTHENTICATION\nLibrary: NULL\nLicense: GPL\n...\n\nIf a plugin\'s Library column has a NULL value, then the plugin is built-in,\nand it cannot be uninstalled.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information with information_schema.PLUGINS\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe information_schema.PLUGINS table can be queried to get more detailed\ninformation about plugins.\n\nFor example:\n\nSELECT * FROM information_schema.PLUGINS\\G\n...\n*************************** 6. row ***************************\n PLUGIN_NAME: CSV\n PLUGIN_VERSION: 1.0\n PLUGIN_STATUS: ACTIVE\n PLUGIN_TYPE: STORAGE ENGINE\n PLUGIN_TYPE_VERSION: 100003.0\n PLUGIN_LIBRARY: NULL\nPLUGIN_LIBRARY_VERSION: NULL\n PLUGIN_AUTHOR: Brian Aker, MySQL AB\n PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION: CSV storage engine\n PLUGIN_LICENSE: GPL\n LOAD_OPTION: FORCE\n PLUGIN_MATURITY: Stable\n PLUGIN_AUTH_VERSION: 1.0\n*************************** 7. row ***************************\n PLUGIN_NAME: MEMORY\n PLUGIN_VERSION: 1.0\n PLUGIN_STATUS: ACTIVE\n PLUGIN_TYPE: STORAGE ENGINE\n PLUGIN_TYPE_VERSION: 100003.0\n PLUGIN_LIBRARY: NULL\nPLUGIN_LIBRARY_VERSION: NULL\n PLUGIN_AUTHOR: MySQL AB\n PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION: Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary\ntables\n PLUGIN_LICENSE: GPL\n LOAD_OPTION: FORCE\n PLUGIN_MATURITY: Stable\n PLUGIN_AUTH_VERSION: 1.0\n...\n\nIf a plugin\'s PLUGIN_LIBRARY column has the NULL value, then the plugin is\nbuilt-in, and it cannot be uninstalled.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information with mysql.plugin\n---------------------------------------------\n\nThe mysql.plugin table can be queried to get information about installed\nplugins.\n\nThis table only contains information about plugins that have been installed\nvia the following methods:\n\n* The INSTALL SONAME statement.\n* The INSTALL PLUGIN statement.\n* The mysql_plugin utility.\n\nThis table does not contain information about:\n\n* Built-in plugins.\n* Plugins loaded with the --plugin-load-add option.\n* Plugins loaded with the --plugin-load option.\n\nThis table only contains enough information to reload the plugin when the\nserver is restarted, which means it only contains the plugin name and the\nplugin library.\n\nFor example:\n\nSELECT * FROM mysql.plugin;\n\n+------+------------+\n| name | dl |\n+------+------------+\n| PBXT | libpbxt.so |\n+------+------------+\n\nInstalling a Plugin\n-------------------\n\nThere are three primary ways to install a plugin:\n\n* A plugin can be installed dynamically with an SQL statement.\n* A plugin can be installed with a mysqld option, but it requires a server\nrestart.\n* A plugin can be installed with the mysql_plugin utility, while the server is\ncompletely offline.\n\nWhen you are installing a plugin, you also have to ensure that:\n\n* The server\'s plugin directory is properly configured, and the plugin\'s\nlibrary is in the plugin directory.\n* The server\'s minimum plugin maturity is properly configured, and the plugin\nis mature enough to be installed.\n\nInstalling a Plugin Dynamically\n-------------------------------\n\nA plugin can be installed dynamically by executing either the INSTALL SONAME\nor the INSTALL PLUGIN statement.\n\nIf a plugin is installed with one of these statements, then a record will be\nadded to the mysql.plugins table for the plugin. This means that the plugin\nwill automatically be loaded every time the server restarts, unless\nspecifically uninstalled or deactivated.\n\nInstalling a Plugin with INSTALL SONAME\n---------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin dynamically by executing the INSTALL SONAME\nstatement. INSTALL SONAME installs all plugins from the given plugin library.\nThis could be required for some plugin libraries.\n\nFor example, to install all plugins in the server_audit plugin library (which\nis currently only the server_audit audit plugin), you could execute the\nfollowing:\n\nINSTALL SONAME \'server_audit\';\n\nInstalling a Plugin with INSTALL PLUGIN\n---------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin dynamically by executing the INSTALL PLUGIN\nstatement. INSTALL PLUGIN installs a single plugin from the given plugin\nlibrary.\n\nFor example, to install the server_audit audit plugin from the server_audit\nplugin library, you could execute the following:\n\nINSTALL PLUGIN server_audit SONAME \'server_audit\';\n\nInstalling a Plugin with Plugin Load Options\n--------------------------------------------\n\nA plugin can be installed with a mysqld option by providing either the\n--plugin-load-add or the --plugin-load option.\n\nIf a plugin is installed with one of these options, then a record will not be\nadded to the mysql.plugins table for the plugin. This means that if the server\nis restarted without the same option set, then the plugin will not\nautomatically be loaded.\n\nInstalling a Plugin with --plugin-load-add\n------------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin with the --plugin-load-add option by specifying the\noption as a command-line argument to mysqld or by specifying the option in a\nrelevant server option group in an option file.\n\nThe --plugin-load-add option uses the following format:\n\n* Plugins can be specified in the format name=library, where name is the\nplugin name and library is the plugin library. This format installs a single\nplugin from the given plugin library.\n* Plugins can also be specified in the format library, where library is the\nplugin library. This format installs all plugins from the given plugin library.\n* Multiple plugins can be specified by separating them with semicolons.\n\nFor example, to install all plugins in the server_audit plugin library (which\nis currently only the server_audit audit plugin) and also the ed25519\nauthentication plugin from the auth_ed25519 plugin library, you could set the\noption to the following values on the command-line:\n\n$ mysqld --user=mysql --plugin-load-add=\'server_audit\'\n--plugin-load-add=\'ed25519=auth_ed25519\'\n\nYou could also set the option to the same values in an option file:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load_add = server_audit\nplugin_load_add = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\nSpecial care must be taken when specifying both the --plugin-load option and\nthe --plugin-load-add option together. The --plugin-load option resets the\nplugin load list, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware.\nThe --plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is\nmuch safer to use. See Specifying Multiple Plugin Load Options for more\ninformation.\n\nInstalling a Plugin with --plugin-load\n--------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin with the --plugin-load option by specifying the\noption as a command-line argument to mysqld or by specifying the option in a\nrelevant server option group in an option file.\n\nThe --plugin-load option uses the following format:\n\n* Plugins can be specified in the format name=library, where name is the\nplugin name and library is the plugin library. This format installs a single\nplugin from the given plugin library.\n* Plugins can also be specified in the format library, where library is the\nplugin library. This format installs all plugins from the given plugin library.\n* Multiple plugins can be specified by separating them with semicolons.\n\nFor example, to install all plugins in the server_audit plugin library (which\nis currently only the server_audit audit plugin) and also the ed25519\nauthentication plugin from the auth_ed25519 plugin library, you could set the\noption to the following values on the command-line:\n\n$ mysqld --user=mysql --plugin-load=\'server_audit;ed25519=auth_ed25519\'\n\nYou could also set the option to the same values in an option file:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load = server_audit;ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\nSpecial care must be taken when specifying the --plugin-load option multiple\ntimes, or when specifying both the --plugin-load option and the\n--plugin-load-add option together. The --plugin-load option resets the plugin\nload list, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware. The\n--plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is much\nsafer to use. See Specifying Multiple Plugin Load Options for more information.\n\nSpecifying Multiple Plugin Load Options\n---------------------------------------\n\nSpecial care must be taken when specifying the --plugin-load option multiple\ntimes, or when specifying both the --plugin-load option and the\n--plugin-load-add option. The --plugin-load option resets the plugin load\nlist, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware. The\n--plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is much\nsafer to use.\n\nThis can have the following consequences:\n\n* If the --plugin-load option is specified multiple times, then only the last\ninstance will have any effect. For example, in the following case, the first\ninstance of the option is reset:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load = server_audit\nplugin_load = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\n* If the --plugin-load option is specified after the --plugin-load-add option,\nthen it will also reset the changes made by that option. For example, in the\nfollowing case, the --plugin-load-add option does not do anything, because the\nsubsequent --plugin-load option resets the plugin load list:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load_add = server_audit\nplugin_load = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\n* In contrast, if the --plugin-load option is specified before the\n--plugin-load-add option, then it will work fine, because the\n--plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list. For example, in\nthe following case, both plugins are properly loaded:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load = server_audit\nplugin_load_add = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\nInstalling a Plugin with mysql_plugin\n-------------------------------------\n\nA plugin can be installed with the mysql_plugin utility if the server is\ncompletely offline.\n\nThe syntax is:\n\nmysql_plugin [options] <plugin> ENABLE|DISABLE\n\nFor example, to install the server_audit audit plugin, you could execute the\nfollowing:\n\nmysql_plugin server_audit ENABLE\n\nIf a plugin is installed with this utility, then a record will be added to the\nmysql.plugins table for the plugin. This means that the plugin will\nautomatically be loaded every time the server restarts, unless specifically\nuninstalled or deactivated.\n\nConfiguring the Plugin Directory\n--------------------------------\n\nWhen a plugin is being installed, the server looks for the plugin\'s library in\nthe server\'s plugin directory. This directory is configured by the plugin_dir\nsystem variable. This can be specified as a command-line argument to mysqld or\nit can be specified in a relevant server option group in an option file. For\nexample:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_dir = /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin\n\nConfiguring the Minimum Plugin Maturity\n---------------------------------------\n\nWhen a plugin is being installed, the server compares the plugin\'s maturity\nlevel against the server\'s minimum allowed plugin maturity. This can help\nprevent users from using unstable plugins on production servers. This minimum\nplugin maturity is configured by the plugin_maturity system variable. This can\nbe specified as a command-line argument to mysqld or it can be specified in a\nrelevant server option group in an option file. For example:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_maturity = stable\n\nConfiguring Plugin Activation at Server Startup\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nA plugin will be loaded by default when the server starts if:\n\n* The plugin was installed with the INSTALL SONAME statement.\n* The plugin was installed with the INSTALL PLUGIN statement.\n* The plugin was installed with the mysql_plugin utility.\n* The server is configured to load the plugin with the --plugin-load-add\noption.\n* The server is configured to load the plugin with the --plugin-load option.\n\nThis behavior can be changed with special options that take the form\n--plugin-name. For example, for the server_audit audit plugin, the special\noption is called --server-audit.\n\nThe possible values for these special options are:\n\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| Option Value | Description |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| OFF | Disables the plugin without |\n| | removing it from the |\n| | mysql.plugins table. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| ON | Enables the plugin. If the plugin |\n| | cannot be initialized, then the |\n| | server will still continue |\n| | starting up, but the plugin will |\n| | be disabled. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| FORCE | Enables the plugin. If the plugin |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/plugin-overview/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| | cannot be initialized, then the |\n| | server will fail to start with an |\n| | error. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT | Enables the plugin. If the plugin |\n| | cannot be initialized, then the |\n| | server will fail to start with an |\n| | error. In addition, the plugin |\n| | cannot be uninstalled with |\n| | UNINSTALL SONAME or UNINSTALL |\n| | PLUGIN while the server is |\n| | running. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n\nA plugin\'s status can be found by looking at the PLUGIN_STATUS column of the\ninformation_schema.PLUGINS table.\n\nUninstalling Plugins\n--------------------\n\nPlugins that are found in the mysql.plugin table, that is those that were\ninstalled with INSTALL SONAME, INSTALL PLUGIN or mysql_plugin can be\nuninstalled in one of two ways:\n\n* The UNINSTALL SONAME or the UNINSTALL PLUGIN statement while the server is\nrunning\n* With mysql_plugin while the server is offline.\n\nPlugins that were enabled as a --plugin-load option do not need to be\nuninstalled. If --plugin-load is omitted the next time the server starts, or\nthe plugin is not listed as one of the --plugin-load entries, the plugin will\nnot be loaded.\n\nUNINSTALL PLUGIN uninstalls a single installed plugin, while UNINSTALL SONAME\nuninstalls all plugins belonging to a given library.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/plugin-overview/') WHERE help_topic_id = 78; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (79,6,'MBR Definition','Description\n-----------\n\nThe MBR (Minimum Bounding Rectangle), or Envelope is the bounding geometry,\nformed by the minimum and maximum (X,Y) coordinates:\n\nExamples\n--------\n\n((MINX MINY, MAXX MINY, MAXX MAXY, MINX MAXY, MINX MINY))\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mbr-definition/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mbr-definition/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (80,6,'MBRContains','Syntax\n------\n\nMBRContains(g1,g2)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the Minimum Bounding Rectangle of g1\ncontains the Minimum Bounding Rectangle of g2.

For example, to set the default isolation level to REPEATABLE\nREAD, use these lines in the [mysqld] section of an option file:\n\n[mysqld]\ntransaction-isolation = REPEATABLE-READ\nTo determine the global and session transaction isolation levels at runtime,\ncheck the value of the tx_isolation system variable:\n\nSELECT @@GLOBAL.tx_isolation, @@tx_isolation;\n\nInnoDB supports each of the translation isolation levels described here using\ndifferent locking strategies. The default level is REPEATABLE READ. For\nadditional information about InnoDB record-level locks and how it uses them to\nexecute various types of statements, see InnoDB Lock Modes, and\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-locks-set.html.\n\nIsolation Levels\n----------------\n\nThe following sections describe how MariaDB supports the different transaction\nlevels.\n\nREAD UNCOMMITTED\n----------------\n\nSELECT statements are performed in a non-locking fashion, but a possible\nearlier version of a row might be used. Thus, using this isolation level, such\nreads are not consistent. This is also called a \"dirty read.\" Otherwise, this\nisolation level works like READ COMMITTED.\n\nREAD COMMITTED\n--------------\n\nA somewhat Oracle-like isolation level with respect to consistent\n(non-locking) reads: Each consistent read, even within the same transaction,\nsets and reads its own fresh snapshot. See\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-consistent-read.html.\n\nFor locking reads (SELECT with FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE), InnoDB locks\nonly index records, not the gaps before them, and thus allows the free\ninsertion of new records next to locked records. For UPDATE and DELETE\nstatements, locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique index with\na unique search condition (such as WHERE id = 100), or a range-type search\ncondition (such as WHERE id > 100). For a unique index with a unique search\ncondition, InnoDB locks only the index record found, not the gap before it.\nFor range-type searches, InnoDB locks the index range scanned, using gap locks\nor next-key (gap plus index-record) locks to block insertions by other\nsessions into the gaps covered by the range. This is necessary because\n\"phantom rows\" must be blocked for MySQL replication and recovery to work.\n\nNote: If the READ COMMITTED isolation level is used or the\ninnodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog system variable is enabled, there is no InnoDB\ngap locking except for foreign-key constraint checking and duplicate-key\nchecking. Also, record locks for non-matching rows are released after MariaDB\nhas evaluated the WHERE condition.If you use READ COMMITTED or enable\ninnodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog, you must use row-based binary logging.\n\nREPEATABLE READ\n---------------\n\nThis is the default isolation level for InnoDB. For consistent reads, there is\nan important difference from the READ COMMITTED isolation level: All\nconsistent reads within the same transaction read the snapshot established by\nthe first read. This convention means that if you issue several plain\n(non-locking) SELECT statements within the same transaction, these SELECT\nstatements are consistent also with respect to each other. See\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-consistent-read.html.\n\nFor locking reads (SELECT with FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE), UPDATE, and\nDELETE statements, locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique\nindex with a unique search condition, or a range-type search condition. For a\nunique index with a unique search condition, InnoDB locks only the index\nrecord found, not the gap before it. For other search conditions, InnoDB locks\nthe index range scanned, using gap locks or next-key (gap plus index-record)\nlocks to block insertions by other sessions into the gaps covered by the range.\n\nThis is the minimum isolation level for non-distributed XA transactions.\n\nSERIALIZABLE\n------------\n\nThis level is like REPEATABLE READ, but InnoDB implicitly converts all plain\nSELECT statements to SELECT ... LOCK IN SHARE MODE if autocommit is disabled.\nIf autocommit is enabled, the SELECT is its own transaction. It therefore is\nknown to be read only and can be serialized if performed as a consistent\n(non-locking) read and need not block for other transactions. (This means that\nto force a plain SELECT to block if other transactions have modified the\nselected rows, you should disable autocommit.)\n\nDistributed XA transactions should always use this isolation level.\n\nAccess Mode\n-----------\n\nThe access mode specifies whether the transaction is allowed to write data or\nnot. By default, transactions are in READ WRITE mode (see the tx_read_only\nsystem variable). READ ONLY mode allows the storage engine to apply\noptimizations that cannot be used for transactions which write data. The only\nexception to this rule is that read only transactions can perform DDL\nstatements on temporary tables.\n\nIt is not permitted to specify both READ WRITE and READ ONLY in the same\nstatement.\n\nREAD WRITE and READ ONLY can also be specified in the START TRANSACTION\nstatement, in which case the specified mode is only valid for one transaction.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSET GLOBAL TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;\n\nAttempting to set the isolation level within an existing transaction without\nspecifying GLOBAL or SESSION.\n\nSTART TRANSACTION;\n\nSET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;\nERROR 1568 (25001): Transaction characteristics can\'t be changed while a\ntransaction is in progress\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-transaction/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-transaction/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (94,8,'START TRANSACTION','Syntax\n------\n\nSTART TRANSACTION [transaction_property [, transaction_property] ...] | BEGIN\n[WORK]\nCOMMIT [WORK] [AND [NO] CHAIN] [[NO] RELEASE]\nROLLBACK [WORK] [AND [NO] CHAIN] [[NO] RELEASE]\nSET autocommit = {0 | 1}\n\ntransaction_property:\n WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT\n | READ WRITE\n | READ ONLY\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe START TRANSACTION or BEGIN statement begins a new transaction. COMMIT\ncommits the current transaction, making its changes permanent. ROLLBACK rolls\nback the current transaction, canceling its changes. The SET autocommit\nstatement disables or enables the default autocommit mode for the current\nsession.\n\nSTART TRANSACTION and SET autocommit = 1 implicitly commit the current\ntransaction, if any.\n\nThe optional WORK keyword is supported for COMMIT and ROLLBACK, as are the\nCHAIN and RELEASE clauses. CHAIN and RELEASE can be used for additional\ncontrol over transaction completion. The value of the completion_type system\nvariable determines the default completion behavior.\n\nThe AND CHAIN clause causes a new transaction to begin as soon as the current\none ends, and the new transaction has the same isolation level as the\njust-terminated transaction. The RELEASE clause causes the server to\ndisconnect the current client session after terminating the current\ntransaction. Including the NO keyword suppresses CHAIN or RELEASE completion,\nwhich can be useful if the completion_type system variable is set to cause\nchaining or release completion by default.\n\nAccess Mode\n-----------\n\nThe access mode specifies whether the transaction is allowed to write data or\nnot. By default, transactions are in READ WRITE mode (see the tx_read_only\nsystem variable). READ ONLY mode allows the storage engine to apply\noptimizations that cannot be used for transactions which write data. The only\nexception to this rule is that read only transactions can perform DDL\nstatements on temporary tables.\n\nIt is not permitted to specify both READ WRITE and READ ONLY in the same\nstatement.\n\nREAD WRITE and READ ONLY can also be specified in the SET TRANSACTION\nstatement, in which case the specified mode is valid for all sessions, or for\nall subsequent transaction used by the current session.\n\nautocommit\n----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB runs with autocommit mode enabled. This means that as soon\nas you execute a statement that updates (modifies) a table, MariaDB stores the\nupdate on disk to make it permanent. To disable autocommit mode, use the\nfollowing statement:\n\nSET autocommit=0;\n\nAfter disabling autocommit mode by setting the autocommit variable to zero,\nchanges to transaction-safe tables (such as those for InnoDB or NDBCLUSTER)\nare not made permanent immediately. You must use COMMIT to store your changes\nto disk or ROLLBACK to ignore the changes.\n\nTo disable autocommit mode for a single series of statements, use the START\nTRANSACTION statement.\n\nDDL Statements\n--------------\n\nDDL statements (CREATE, ALTER, DROP) and administrative statements (FLUSH,\nRESET, OPTIMIZE, ANALYZE, CHECK, REPAIR, CACHE INDEX), transaction management\nstatements (BEGIN, START TRANSACTION) and LOAD DATA INFILE, cause an implicit\nCOMMIT and start a new transaction. An exception to this rule are the DDL that\noperate on temporary tables: you can CREATE, ALTER and DROP them without\ncausing any COMMIT, but those actions cannot be rolled back. This means that\nif you call ROLLBACK, the temporary tables you created in the transaction will\nremain, while the rest of the transaction will be rolled back.\n\nTransactions cannot be used in Stored Functions or Triggers. In Stored\nProcedures and Events BEGIN is not allowed, so you should use START\nTRANSACTION instead.\n\nA transaction acquires a metadata lock on every table it accesses to prevent\nother connections from altering their structure. The lock is released at the\nend of the transaction. This happens even with non-transactional storage\nengines (like MEMORY or CONNECT), so it makes sense to use transactions with\nnon-transactional tables.\n\nin_transaction\n--------------\n\nThe in_transaction system variable is a session-only, read-only variable that\nreturns 1 inside a transaction, and 0 if not in a transaction.\n\nWITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT\n------------------------\n\nThe WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT option starts a consistent read for storage\nengines such as InnoDB that can do so, the same as if a START TRANSACTION\nfollowed by a SELECT from any InnoDB table was issued.\n\nSee Enhancements for START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSTART TRANSACTION;\nSELECT @A:=SUM(salary) FROM table1 WHERE type=1;\nUPDATE table2 SET summary=@A WHERE type=1;\nCOMMIT;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/start-transaction/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/start-transaction/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (95,8,'COMMIT','The COMMIT statement ends a transaction, saving any changes to the data so\nthat they become visible to subsequent transactions.

Otherwise, all transactions which don\'t end\nwith an explicit COMMIT are implicitly rollbacked and the changes are lost.\nThe ROLLBACK statement can be used to do this explicitly.\n\nThe required syntax for the COMMIT statement is as follows:\n\nCOMMIT [WORK] [AND [NO] CHAIN] [[NO] RELEASE]\n\nCOMMIT is the more important transaction terminator, as well as the more\ninteresting one. The basic form of the COMMIT statement is simply the keyword\nCOMMIT (the keyword WORK is simply noise and can be omitted without changing\nthe effect).\n\nThe optional AND CHAIN clause is a convenience for initiating a new\ntransaction as soon as the old transaction terminates. If AND CHAIN is\nspecified, then there is effectively nothing between the old and new\ntransactions, although they remain separate.

The AND NO CHAIN option just tells your DBMS to end the\ntransaction — that is, these four SQL statements are equivalent:\n\nROLLBACK; \nROLLBACK WORK; \nROLLBACK AND NO CHAIN; \nROLLBACK WORK AND NO CHAIN;\n\nAll of them end a transaction without saving any transaction characteristics.\nThe only other options, the equivalent statements:\n\nROLLBACK AND CHAIN;\nROLLBACK WORK AND CHAIN;\n\nboth tell your DBMS to end a transaction, but to save that transaction\'s\ncharacteristics for the next transaction.\n\nROLLBACK is much simpler than COMMIT: it may involve no more than a few\ndeletions (of Cursors, locks, prepared SQL statements and log-file entries).\nIt\'s usually assumed that ROLLBACK can\'t fail, although such a thing is\nconceivable (for example, an encompassing transaction might reject an attempt\nto ROLLBACK because it\'s lining up for a COMMIT).\n\nROLLBACK cancels all effects of a transaction. It does not cancel effects on\nobjects outside the DBMS\'s control (for example the values in host program\nvariables or the settings made by some SQL/CLI function calls). But in\ngeneral, it is a convenient statement for those situations when you say \"oops,\nthis isn\'t working\" or when you simply don\'t care whether your temporary work\nbecomes permanent or not.\n\nHere is a moot question. If all you\'ve been doing is SELECTs, so that there\nhave been no data changes, should you end the transaction with ROLLBACK or\nCOMMIT? It shouldn\'t really matter because both ROLLBACK and COMMIT do the\nsame transaction-terminating job. However, the popular conception is that\nROLLBACK implies failure, so after a successful series of SELECT statements\nthe convention is to end the transaction with COMMIT rather than ROLLBACK.\n\nMariaDB (and most other DBMSs) supports rollback of SQL-data change\nstatements, but not of SQL-Schema statements. This means that if you use any\nof CREATE, ALTER, DROP, GRANT, REVOKE, you are implicitly committing at\nexecution time.\n\nINSERT INTO Table_2 VALUES(5); \nDROP TABLE Table_3 CASCADE; \nROLLBACK;\n\nThe result will be that both the INSERT and the DROP will go through as\nseparate transactions so the ROLLBACK will have no effect.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rollback/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rollback/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (97,8,'LOCK TABLES','Syntax\n------\n\nLOCK TABLE[S]\n tbl_name [[AS] alias] lock_type\n [, tbl_name [[AS] alias] lock_type] ...\n [WAIT n|NOWAIT]\n\nlock_type:\n READ [LOCAL]\n | [LOW_PRIORITY] WRITE\n | WRITE CONCURRENT\n\nUNLOCK TABLES\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe lock_type can be one of:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| READ | Read lock, no writes allowed |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| READ LOCAL | Read lock, but allow concurrent inserts |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| WRITE | Exclusive write lock.

One session cannot acquire locks for another session or release locks\nheld by another session.\n\nLocks may be used to emulate transactions or to get more speed when updating\ntables.\n\nLOCK TABLES explicitly acquires table locks for the current client session.\nTable locks can be acquired for base tables or views.

This document is published by\nThe Open Group and available at\nhttp://www.opengroup.org/public/pubs/catalog/c193.htm.\n\nXA transactions are designed to allow distributed transactions, where a\ntransaction manager (the application) controls a transaction which involves\nmultiple resources. Such resources are usually DBMSs, but could be resources\nof any type. The whole set of required transactional operations is called a\nglobal transaction. Each subset of operations which involve a single resource\nis called a local transaction. XA used a 2-phases commit (2PC). With the first\ncommit, the transaction manager tells each resource to prepare an effective\ncommit, and waits for a confirm message. The changes are not still made\neffective at this point. If any of the resources encountered an error, the\ntransaction manager will rollback the global transaction. If all resources\ncommunicate that the first commit is successful, the transaction manager can\nrequire a second commit, which makes the changes effective.\n\nIn MariaDB, XA transactions can only be used with storage engines that support\nthem. At least InnoDB, TokuDB, SPIDER and MyRocks support them. For InnoDB,\nuntil MariaDB 10.2, XA transactions can be disabled by setting the\ninnodb_support_xa server system variable to 0. From MariaDB 10.3, XA\ntransactions are always supported.\n\nLike regular transactions, XA transactions create metadata locks on accessed\ntables.\n\nXA transactions require REPEATABLE READ as a minimum isolation level. However,\ndistributed transactions should always use SERIALIZABLE.\n\nTrying to start more than one XA transaction at the same time produces a 1400\nerror (SQLSTATE \'XAE09\'). The same error is produced when attempting to start\nan XA transaction while a regular transaction is in effect. Trying to start a\nregular transaction while an XA transaction is in effect produces a 1399 error\n(SQLSTATE \'XAE07\').\n\nThe statements that cause an implicit COMMIT for regular transactions produce\na 1400 error (SQLSTATE \'XAE09\') if a XA transaction is in effect.\n\nInternal XA vs External XA\n--------------------------\n\nXA transactions are an overloaded term in MariaDB. If a storage engine is\nXA-capable, it can mean one or both of these:\n\n* It supports MariaDB\'s internal two-phase commit API. This is transparent to\nthe user. Sometimes this is called \"internal XA\", since MariaDB\'s internal\ntransaction coordinator log can handle coordinating these transactions.\n\n* It supports XA transactions, with the XA START, XA PREPARE, XA COMMIT, etc.\nstatements. Sometimes this is called \"external XA\", since it requires the use\nof an external transaction coordinator to use this feature properly.\n\nTransaction Coordinator Log\n---------------------------\n\nIf you have two or more XA-capable storage engines enabled, then a transaction\ncoordinator log must be available.\n\nThere are currently two implementations of the transaction coordinator log:\n\n* Binary log-based transaction coordinator log\n* Memory-mapped file-based transaction coordinator log\n\nIf the binary log is enabled on a server, then the server will use the binary\nlog-based transaction coordinator log. Otherwise, it will use the\nmemory-mapped file-based transaction coordinator log.\n\nSee Transaction Coordinator Log for more information.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nXA {START|BEGIN} xid [JOIN|RESUME]\n\nXA END xid [SUSPEND [FOR MIGRATE]]\n\nXA PREPARE xid\n\nXA COMMIT xid [ONE PHASE]\n\nXA ROLLBACK xid\n\nXA RECOVER [FORMAT=[\'RAW\'|\'SQL\']]\n\nxid: gtrid [, bqual [, formatID ]]\n\nThe interface to XA transactions is a set of SQL statements starting with XA.\nEach statement changes a transaction\'s state, determining which actions it can\nperform. A transaction which does not exist is in the NON-EXISTING state.\n\nXA START (or BEGIN) starts a transaction and defines its xid (a transaction\nidentifier). The JOIN or RESUME keywords have no effect. The new transaction\nwill be in ACTIVE state.\n\nThe xid can have 3 components, though only the first one is mandatory. gtrid\nis a quoted string representing a global transaction identifier. bqual is a\nquoted string representing a local transaction identifier. formatID is an\nunsigned integer indicating the format used for the first two components; if\nnot specified, defaults to 1. MariaDB does not interpret in any way these\ncomponents, and only uses them to identify a transaction. xids of transactions\nin effect must be unique.\n\nXA END declares that the specified ACTIVE transaction is finished and it\nchanges its state to IDLE. SUSPEND [FOR MIGRATE] has no effect.\n\nXA PREPARE prepares an IDLE transaction for commit, changing its state to\nPREPARED. This is the first commit.\n\nXA COMMIT definitely commits and terminates a transaction which has already\nbeen PREPARED. If the ONE PHASE clause is specified, this statements performs\na 1-phase commit on an IDLE transaction.\n\nXA ROLLBACK rolls back and terminates an IDLE or PREPARED transaction.\n\nXA RECOVER shows information about all PREPARED transactions.\n\nWhen trying to execute an operation which is not allowed for the transaction\'s\ncurrent state, an error is produced:\n\nXA COMMIT \'test\' ONE PHASE;\nERROR 1399 (XAE07): XAER_RMFAIL: The command cannot be executed when global\ntransaction is in the ACTIVE state\n\nXA COMMIT \'test2\';\nERROR 1399 (XAE07): XAER_RMFAIL: The command cannot be executed when global\ntransaction is in the NON-EXISTING state\n\nXA RECOVER\n----------\n\nThe XA RECOVER statement shows information about all transactions which are in\nthe PREPARED state. It does not matter which connection created the\ntransaction: if it has been PREPARED, it appears. But this does not mean that\na connection can commit or rollback a transaction which was started by another\nconnection. Note that transactions using a 1-phase commit are never in the\nPREPARED state, so they cannot be shown by XA RECOVER.\n\nXA RECOVER produces four columns:\n\nXA RECOVER;\n+----------+--------------+--------------+------+\n| formatID | gtrid_length | bqual_length | data |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+------+\n| 1 | 4 | 0 | test |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+------+\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nYou can use XA RECOVER FORMAT=\'SQL\' to get the data in a human readable form\nthat can be directly copy-pasted into XA COMMIT or XA ROLLBACK. This is\nparticularly useful for binary xid generated by some transaction coordinators.\n\nformatID is the formatID part of xid.\n\ndata are the gtrid and bqual parts of xid, concatenated.\n\ngtrid_length and bqual_length are the lengths of gtrid and bqual, respectevely.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\n2-phases commit:\n\nXA START \'test\';\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (1,2);\n\nXA END \'test\';\n\nXA PREPARE \'test\';\n\nXA COMMIT \'test\';\n\n1-phase commit:\n\nXA START \'test\';\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (1,2);\n\nXA END \'test\';\n\nXA COMMIT \'test\' ONE PHASE;\n\nHuman-readable:\n\nxa start \'12\\r34\\t67\\v78\', \'abc\\ndef\', 3;\n\ninsert t1 values (40);\n\nxa end \'12\\r34\\t67\\v78\', \'abc\\ndef\', 3;\n\nxa prepare \'12\\r34\\t67\\v78\', \'abc\\ndef\', 3;\n\nxa recover format=\'RAW\';\n+----------+--------------+--------------+--------------------+\n| formatID | gtrid_length | bqual_length | data |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+--------------------+\n34 67v78abc 11 | 7 | 12\ndef |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+--------------------+\n\nxa recover format=\'SQL\';\n+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------------------------------\n---------+\n| formatID | gtrid_length | bqual_length | data \n |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------------------------------\n---------+\n| 3 | 11 | 7 |\nX\'31320d3334093637763738\',X\'6162630a646566\',3 |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------------------------------\n---------+\n\nxa rollback X\'31320d3334093637763738\',X\'6162630a646566\',3;\n\nKnown Issues\n------------\n\nMariaDB Galera Cluster\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB Galera Cluster does not support XA transactions.\n\nHowever, MariaDB Galera Cluster builds include a built-in plugin called wsrep.\nPrior to MariaDB 10.4.3, this plugin was internally considered an XA-capable\nstorage engine. Consequently, these MariaDB Galera Cluster builds have\nmultiple XA-capable storage engines by default, even if the only \"real\"\nstorage engine that supports external XA transactions enabled on these builds\nby default is InnoDB. Therefore, when using one these builds MariaDB would be\nforced to use a transaction coordinator log by default, which could have\nperformance implications.\n\nSee Transaction Coordinator Log Overview: MariaDB Galera Cluster for more\ninformation.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/xa-transactions/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/xa-transactions/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (104,10,'CREATE USER','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE] USER [IF NOT EXISTS] \n user_specification [,user_specification ...] \n [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option ...] }]\n [WITH resource_option [resource_option ...] ]\n [lock_option] [password_option]\n\nuser_specification:\n username [authentication_option]\n\nauthentication_option:\n IDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n | IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n | IDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_rule [OR authentication_rule ...]\n\nauthentication_rule:\n authentication_plugin\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} \'authentication_string\'\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} PASSWORD(\'password\')\n\ntls_option:\n SSL\n | X509\n | CIPHER \'cipher\'\n | ISSUER \'issuer\'\n | SUBJECT \'subject\'\n\nresource_option:\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS count\n | MAX_STATEMENT_TIME time\n\npassword_option:\n PASSWORD EXPIRE\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL N DAY\n\nlock_option:\n ACCOUNT LOCK\n | ACCOUNT UNLOCK\n}\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe CREATE USER statement creates new MariaDB accounts. To use it, you must\nhave the global CREATE USER privilege or the INSERT privilege for the mysql\ndatabase. For each account, CREATE USER creates a new row in mysql.user (until\nMariaDB 10.3 this is a table, from MariaDB 10.4 it\'s a view) or\nmysql.global_priv_table (from MariaDB 10.4) that has no privileges.\n\nIf any of the specified accounts, or any permissions for the specified\naccounts, already exist, then the server returns ERROR 1396 (HY000). If an\nerror occurs, CREATE USER will still create the accounts that do not result in\nan error. Only one error is produced for all users which have not been created:\n\nERROR 1396 (HY000): \n Operation CREATE USER failed for \'u1\'@\'%\',\'u2\'@\'%\'\n\nCREATE USER, DROP USER, CREATE ROLE, and DROP ROLE all produce the same error\ncode when they fail.\n\nSee Account Names below for details on how account names are specified.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nIf the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it is basically a shortcut for:\n\nDROP USER IF EXISTS name;\nCREATE USER name ...;\n\nFor example:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for \'foo2\'@\'test\'\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nWhen the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead\nof an error if the specified user already exists.\n\nFor example:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for \'foo2\'@\'test\'\n\nCREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+\n| Note | 1973 | Can\'t create user \'foo2\'@\'test\'; it already exists |\n+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+\n\nAuthentication Options\n----------------------\n\nIDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a\npassword. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by\nthe PASSWORD function prior to being stored in the\nmysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can create the user with:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause can be used to provide an account\nwith a password that has already been hashed. The password should be specified\nas a hash that was provided by the PASSWORD function. It will be stored in the\nmysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table as-is.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can find the hash with:\n\nSELECT PASSWORD(\'mariadb\');\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| PASSWORD(\'mariadb\') |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n1 row in set (0.00 sec)\n\nAnd then we can create a user with the hash:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_plugin\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin allows you to specify that\nthe account should be authenticated by a specific authentication plugin. The\nplugin name must be an active authentication plugin as per SHOW PLUGINS. If it\ndoesn\'t show up in that output, then you will need to install it with INSTALL\nPLUGIN or INSTALL SONAME.\n\nFor example, this could be used with the PAM authentication plugin:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam;\n\nSome authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a\nUSING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a\nservice name:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\n\nThe exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific\nauthentication plugin.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.0\n----------------------------\nThe USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide a plain-text password to a\nplugin if it\'s provided as an argument to the PASSWORD() function. This is\nonly valid for authentication plugins that have implemented a hook for the\nPASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519 authentication plugin supports\nthis:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nOne can specify many authentication plugins, they all work as alternatives\nways of authenticating a user:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\') OR\nunix_socket;\n\nBy default, when you create a user without specifying an authentication\nplugin, MariaDB uses the mysql_native_password plugin.\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without\nencrypting it. This is generally acceptable when the server and client run on\nthe same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.\nHowever, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or\nthey are in a high-risk network, the lack of encryption does introduce\nsecurity concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the\ntraffic as it is sent over the network between them.\n\nTo mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit\nbetween the server and clients using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)\nprotocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly\nspeaking the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the\nprotocol is now considered insecure. The documentation still uses the term SSL\noften and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status\nvariables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its\nsecure successors.\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine\nwhether your MariaDB server has TLS support.\n\nYou can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For\ninstance, you might use this with user accounts that require access to\nsensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These\nrestrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER\nUSER, or GRANT statements. The following options are available:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE NONE | TLS is not required for this account, but can |\n| | still be used. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SSL | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. This option cannot |\n| | be combined with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE X509 | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. This option implies |\n| | REQUIRE SSL. This option cannot be combined |\n| | with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE ISSUER \'issuer\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate |\n| | Authority must be the one specified via the |\n| | string issuer. This option implies REQUIRE |\n| | X509. This option can be combined with the |\n| | SUBJECT, and CIPHER options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SUBJECT \'subject\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the |\n| | certificate\'s Subject must be the one |\n| | specified via the string subject. This option |\n| | implies REQUIRE X509. This option can be |\n| | combined with the ISSUER, and CIPHER options |\n| | in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE CIPHER \'cipher\' | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. Also, the encryption |\n| | used for the connection must use a specific |\n| | cipher method specified in the string cipher. |\n| | This option implies REQUIRE SSL. This option |\n| | can be combined with the ISSUER, and SUBJECT |\n| | options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n\nThe REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the\nAND keyword can be used to separate individual options, but it is not required.\n\nFor example, you can create a user account that requires these TLS options\nwith the following:\n\nCREATE USER \'alice\'@\'%\'\n REQUIRE SUBJECT \'/CN=alice/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland\'\n AND ISSUER \'/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter\nParker/emailAddress=p.parker@marvel.com\'\n AND CIPHER \'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA\';\n\nIf any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client\nwho tries to connect with that user account will have to be configured to\nconnect with TLS.\n\nSee Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to\nenable TLS on the client and server.\n\nResource Limit Options\n----------------------\n\nIt is possible to set per-account limits for certain server resources. The\nfollowing table shows the values that can be set per account:\n\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| Limit Type | Decription |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR | Number of statements that the |\n| | account can issue per hour |\n| | (including updates) |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR | Number of updates (not queries) |\n| | that the account can issue per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR | Number of connections that the |\n| | account can start per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS | Number of simultaneous connections |\n| | that can be accepted from the same |\n| | account; if it is 0, |\n| | max_connections will be used |\n| | instead; if max_connections is 0, |\n| | there is no limit for this |\n| | account\'s simultaneous connections. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_STATEMENT_TIME | Timeout, in seconds, for statements |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| | executed by the user. See also |\n| | Aborting Statements that Exceed a |\n| | Certain Time to Execute. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n\nIf any of these limits are set to 0, then there is no limit for that resource\nfor that user.\n\nHere is an example showing how to create a user with resource limits:\n\nCREATE USER \'someone\'@\'localhost\' WITH\n MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 10\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;\n\nThe resources are tracked per account, which means \'user\'@\'server\'; not per\nuser name or per connection.\n\nThe count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.\n\nPer account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql\ndatabase. Columns used for resources limits are named max_questions,\nmax_updates, max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and\nmax_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS).\n\nAccount Names\n-------------\n\nAccount names have both a user name component and a host name component, and\nare specified as \'user_name\'@\'host_name\'.\n\nThe user name and host name may be unquoted, quoted as strings using double\nquotes (\") or single quotes (\'), or quoted as identifiers using backticks (`).\nYou must use quotes when using special characters (such as a hyphen) or\nwildcard characters. If you quote, you must quote the user name and host name\nseparately (for example \'user_name\'@\'host_name\').\n\nHost Name Component\n-------------------\n\nIf the host name is not provided, it is assumed to be \'%\'.\n\nHost names may contain the wildcard characters % and _. They are matched as if\nby the LIKE clause. If you need to use a wildcard character literally (for\nexample, to match a domain name with an underscore), prefix the character with\na backslash. See LIKE for more information on escaping wildcard characters.\n\nHost name matches are case-insensitive. Host names can match either domain\nnames or IP addresses. Use \'localhost\' as the host name to allow only local\nclient connections.\n\nYou can use a netmask to match a range of IP addresses using \'base_ip/netmask\'\nas the host name. A user with an IP address ip_addr will be allowed to connect\nif the following condition is true:\n\nip_addr & netmask = base_ip\n\nFor example, given a user:\n\nCREATE USER \'maria\'@\'247.150.130.0/255.255.255.0\';\n\nthe IP addresses satisfying this condition range from 247.150.130.0 to\n247.150.130.255.\n\nUsing 255.255.255.255 is equivalent to not using a netmask at all. Netmasks\ncannot be used for IPv6 addresses.\n\nNote that the credentials added when creating a user with the \'%\' wildcard\nhost will not grant access in all cases. For example, some systems come with\nan anonymous localhost user, and when connecting from localhost this will take\nprecedence.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.6, the host name component could be up to 60 characters in\nlength. Starting from MariaDB 10.6, it can be up to 255 characters.\n\nUser Name Component\n-------------------\n\nUser names must match exactly, including case. A user name that is empty is\nknown as an anonymous account and is allowed to match a login attempt with any\nuser name component. These are described more in the next section.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as user names, see Identifier Names.\n\nIt is possible for more than one account to match when a user connects.\nMariaDB selects the first matching account after sorting according to the\nfollowing criteria:\n\n* Accounts with an exact host name are sorted before accounts using a wildcard\nin the\nhost name. Host names using a netmask are considered to be exact for sorting.\n* Accounts with a wildcard in the host name are sorted according to the\nposition of\nthe first wildcard character. Those with a wildcard character later in the\nhost name\nsort before those with a wildcard character earlier in the host name.\n* Accounts with a non-empty user name sort before accounts with an empty user\nname.\n* Accounts with an empty user name are sorted last. As mentioned previously,\nthese are known as anonymous accounts. These are described more in the next\nsection.\n\nThe following table shows a list of example account as sorted by these\ncriteria:\n\n+---------+-------------+\n| User | Host |\n+---------+-------------+\n| joffrey | 192.168.0.3 |\n| | 192.168.0.% |\n| joffrey | 192.168.% |\n| | 192.168.% |\n+---------+-------------+\n\nOnce connected, you only have the privileges granted to the account that\nmatched, not all accounts that could have matched. For example, consider the\nfollowing commands:\n\nCREATE USER \'joffrey\'@\'192.168.0.3\';\nCREATE USER \'joffrey\'@\'%\';\nGRANT SELECT ON test.t1 to \'joffrey\'@\'192.168.0.3\';\nGRANT SELECT ON test.t2 to \'joffrey\'@\'%\';\n\nIf you connect as joffrey from 192.168.0.3, you will have the SELECT privilege\non the table test.t1, but not on the table test.t2. If you connect as joffrey\nfrom any other IP address, you will have the SELECT privilege on the table\ntest.t2, but not on the table test.t1.\n\nUsernames can be up to 80 characters long before 10.6 and starting from 10.6\nit can be 128 characters long.\n\nAnonymous Accounts\n------------------\n\nAnonymous accounts are accounts where the user name portion of the account\nname is empty. These accounts act as special catch-all accounts. If a user\nattempts to log into the system from a host, and an anonymous account exists\nwith a host name portion that matches the user\'s host, then the user will log\nin as the anonymous account if there is no more specific account match for the\nuser name that the user entered.\n\nFor example, here are some anonymous accounts:\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'localhost\';\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'192.168.0.3\';\n\nFixing a Legacy Default Anonymous Account\n-----------------------------------------\n\nOn some systems, the mysql.db table has some entries for the \'\'@\'%\' anonymous\naccount by default. Unfortunately, there is no matching entry in the\nmysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table, which means that this anonymous\naccount doesn\'t exactly exist, but it does have privileges--usually on the\ndefault test database created by mysql_install_db. These account-less\nprivileges are a legacy that is leftover from a time when MySQL\'s privilege\nsystem was less advanced.\n\nThis situation means that you will run into errors if you try to create a\n\'\'@\'%\' account. For example:\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'%\';\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for \'\'@\'%\'\n\nThe fix is to DELETE the row in the mysql.db table and then execute FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES:\n\nDELETE FROM mysql.db WHERE User=\'\' AND Host=\'%\';\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\n\nAnd then the account can be created:\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'%\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)\n\nSee MDEV-13486 for more information.\n\nPassword Expiry\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nBesides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime,\npassword expiry times can be set on an individual user basis, overriding the\nglobal setting, for example:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\n\nSee User Password Expiry for more details.\n\nAccount Locking\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.2\n----------------------------\nAccount locking permits privileged administrators to lock/unlock user\naccounts. No new client connections will be permitted if an account is locked\n(existing connections are not affected). For example:\n\nCREATE USER \'marijn\'@\'localhost\' ACCOUNT LOCK;\n\nSee Account Locking for more details.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.4.7 and MariaDB 10.5.8, the lock_option and password_option\nclauses can occur in either order.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/') WHERE help_topic_id = 104; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (105,10,'ALTER USER','Syntax\n------\n\nALTER USER [IF EXISTS] \n user_specification [,user_specification] ...\n [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option] ...}]\n [WITH resource_option [resource_option] ...]\n [lock_option] [password_option]\n\nuser_specification:\n username [authentication_option]\n\nauthentication_option:\n IDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n | IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n | IDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_rule [OR authentication_rule] ...\n\nauthentication_rule:\n authentication_plugin\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} \'authentication_string\'\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} PASSWORD(\'password\')\n\ntls_option\n SSL\n | X509\n | CIPHER \'cipher\'\n | ISSUER \'issuer\'\n | SUBJECT \'subject\'\n\nresource_option\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS count\n | MAX_STATEMENT_TIME time\n\npassword_option:\n PASSWORD EXPIRE\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL N DAY\n\nlock_option:\n ACCOUNT LOCK\n | ACCOUNT UNLOCK\n}\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe ALTER USER statement modifies existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you\nmust have the global CREATE USER privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the\nmysql database. The global SUPER privilege is also required if the read_only\nsystem variable is enabled.\n\nIf any of the specified user accounts do not yet exist, an error results. If\nan error occurs, ALTER USER will still modify the accounts that do not result\nin an error. Only one error is produced for all users which have not been\nmodified.\n\nIF EXISTS\n---------\n\nWhen the IF EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of an\nerror for each specified user that does not exist.\n\nAccount Names\n-------------\n\nFor ALTER USER statements, account names are specified as the username\nargument in the same way as they are for CREATE USER statements. See account\nnames from the CREATE USER page for details on how account names are specified.\n\nCURRENT_USER or CURRENT_USER() can also be used to alter the account logged\ninto the current session. For example, to change the current user\'s password\nto mariadb:\n\nALTER USER CURRENT_USER() IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nAuthentication Options\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.4, it is possible to use more than one authentication plugin\nfor each user account. For example, this can be useful to slowly migrate users\nto the more secure ed25519 authentication plugin over time, while allowing the\nold mysql_native_password authentication plugin as an alternative for the\ntransitional period. See Authentication from MariaDB 10.4 for more.\n\nWhen running ALTER USER, not specifying an authentication option in the\nIDENTIFIED VIA clause will remove that authentication method. (However this\nwas not the case before MariaDB 10.4.13, see MDEV-21928)\n\nFor example, a user is created with the ability to authenticate via both a\npassword and unix_socket:\n\nCREATE USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\' \n IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD(\'pwd\')\n OR unix_socket;\n\nSHOW CREATE USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\'\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\nCREATE USER for bob@localhost: CREATE USER `bob`@`localhost` \n IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password\n USING \'*975B2CD4FF9AE554FE8AD33168FBFC326D2021DD\'\n OR unix_socket\n\nIf the user\'s password is updated, but unix_socket authentication is not\nspecified in the IDENTIFIED VIA clause, unix_socket authentication will no\nlonger be permitted.\n\nALTER USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password \n USING PASSWORD(\'pwd2\');\n\nSHOW CREATE USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\'\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\nCREATE USER for bob@localhost: CREATE USER `bob`@`localhost` \n IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'*38366FDA01695B6A5A9DD4E428D9FB8F7EB75512\'\n\nIDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a\npassword. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by\nthe PASSWORD function prior to being stored to the mysql.user table.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can set the account\'s\npassword with:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause can be used to provide an account\nwith a password that has already been hashed. The password should be specified\nas a hash that was provided by the PASSWORD#function. It will be stored to the\nmysql.user table as-is.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can find the hash with:\n\nSELECT PASSWORD(\'mariadb\');\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| PASSWORD(\'mariadb\') |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n\nAnd then we can set an account\'s password with the hash:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test \n IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'*54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_plugin\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin allows you to specify that\nthe account should be authenticated by a specific authentication plugin. The\nplugin name must be an active authentication plugin as per SHOW PLUGINS. If it\ndoesn\'t show up in that output, then you will need to install it with INSTALL\nPLUGIN or INSTALL SONAME.\n\nFor example, this could be used with the PAM authentication plugin:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam;\n\nSome authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a\nUSING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a\nservice name:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\n\nThe exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific\nauthentication plugin.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, the USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide\na plain-text password to a plugin if it\'s provided as an argument to the\nPASSWORD() function. This is only valid for authentication plugins that have\nimplemented a hook for the PASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519\nauthentication plugin supports this:\n\nALTER USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without\nencrypting it. This is generally acceptable when the server and client run on\nthe same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.\nHowever, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or\nthey are in a high-risk network, the lack of encryption does introduce\nsecurity concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the\ntraffic as it is sent over the network between them.\n\nTo mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit\nbetween the server and clients using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)\nprotocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly\nspeaking the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the\nprotocol is now considered insecure. The documentation still uses the term SSL\noften and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status\nvariables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its\nsecure successors.\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine\nwhether your MariaDB server has TLS support.\n\nYou can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For\ninstance, you might use this with user accounts that require access to\nsensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These\nrestrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER\nUSER, or GRANT statements. The following options are available:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE NONE | TLS is not required for this account, but can |\n| | still be used. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SSL | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. This option cannot |\n| | be combined with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE X509 | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. This option implies |\n| | REQUIRE SSL. This option cannot be combined |\n| | with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE ISSUER \'issuer\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate |\n| | Authority must be the one specified via the |\n| | string issuer. This option implies REQUIRE |\n| | X509. This option can be combined with the |\n| | SUBJECT, and CIPHER options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SUBJECT \'subject\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the |\n| | certificate\'s Subject must be the one |\n| | specified via the string subject. This option |\n| | implies REQUIRE X509. This option can be |\n| | combined with the ISSUER, and CIPHER options |\n| | in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE CIPHER \'cipher\' | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. Also, the encryption |\n| | used for the connection must use a specific |\n| | cipher method specified in the string cipher. |\n| | This option implies REQUIRE SSL. This option |\n| | can be combined with the ISSUER, and SUBJECT |\n| | options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n\nThe REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the\nAND keyword can be used to separate individual options, but it is not required.\n\nFor example, you can alter a user account to require these TLS options with\nthe following:\n\nALTER USER \'alice\'@\'%\'\n REQUIRE SUBJECT \'/CN=alice/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland\' AND\n ISSUER \'/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter\nParker/emailAddress=p.parker@marvel.com\'\n AND CIPHER \'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA\';\n\nIf any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client\nwho tries to connect with that user account will have to be configured to\nconnect with TLS.\n\nSee Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to\nenable TLS on the client and server.\n\nResource Limit Options\n----------------------\n\nIt is possible to set per-account limits for certain server resources. The\nfollowing table shows the values that can be set per account:\n\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| Limit Type | Description |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR | Number of statements that the |\n| | account can issue per hour |\n| | (including updates) |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR | Number of updates (not queries) that |\n| | the account can issue per hour |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR | Number of connections that the |\n| | account can start per hour |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS | Number of simultaneous connections |\n| | that can be accepted from the same |\n| | account; if it is 0, max_connections |\n| | will be used instead; if |\n| | max_connections is 0, there is no |\n| | limit for this account\'s |\n| | simultaneous connections. |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-user/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_STATEMENT_TIME | Timeout, in seconds, for statements |\n| | executed by the user. See also |\n| | Aborting Statements that Exceed a |\n| | Certain Time to Execute. |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n\nIf any of these limits are set to 0, then there is no limit for that resource\nfor that user.\n\nHere is an example showing how to set an account\'s resource limits:\n\nALTER USER \'someone\'@\'localhost\' WITH\n MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 10\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;\n\nThe resources are tracked per account, which means \'user\'@\'server\'; not per\nuser name or per connection.\n\nThe count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.\n\nPer account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql\ndatabase. Columns used for resources limits are named max_questions,\nmax_updates, max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and\nmax_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS).\n\nPassword Expiry\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nBesides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime,\npassword expiry times can be set on an individual user basis, overriding the\nglobal setting, for example:\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;\n\nSee User Password Expiry for more details.\n\nAccount Locking\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.2\n----------------------------\nAccount locking permits privileged administrators to lock/unlock user\naccounts. No new client connections will be permitted if an account is locked\n(existing connections are not affected). For example:\n\nALTER USER \'marijn\'@\'localhost\' ACCOUNT LOCK;\n\nSee Account Locking for more details.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.4.7 and MariaDB 10.5.8, the lock_option and password_option\nclauses can occur in either order.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-user/') WHERE help_topic_id = 105; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (106,10,'DROP USER','Syntax\n------\n\nDROP USER [IF EXISTS] user_name [, user_name] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe DROP USER statement removes one or more MariaDB accounts. It removes\nprivilege rows for the account from all grant tables. To use this statement,\nyou must have the global CREATE USER privilege or the DELETE privilege for the\nmysql database. Each account is named using the same format as for the CREATE\nUSER statement; for example, \'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\'. If you specify only the\nuser name part of the account name, a host name part of \'%\' is used. For\nadditional information about specifying account names, see CREATE USER.\n\nNote that, if you specify an account that is currently connected, it will not\nbe deleted until the connection is closed. The connection will not be\nautomatically closed.\n\nIf any of the specified user accounts do not exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000)\nresults. If an error occurs, DROP USER will still drop the accounts that do\nnot result in an error. Only one error is produced for all users which have\nnot been dropped:\n\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP USER failed for \'u1\'@\'%\',\'u2\'@\'%\'\n\nFailed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same\nerror code.\n\nIF EXISTS\n---------\n\nIf the IF EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a note instead of an\nerror if the user does not exist.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nDROP USER bob;\n\nDROP USER foo2@localhost,foo2@\'127.%\';\n\nIF EXISTS:\n\nDROP USER bob;\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP USER failed for \'bob\'@\'%\'\n\nDROP USER IF EXISTS bob;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+\n| Note | 1974 | Can\'t drop user \'bob\'@\'%\'; it doesn\'t exist |\n+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (107,10,'GRANT','Syntax\n------\n\nGRANT\n priv_type [(column_list)]\n [, priv_type [(column_list)]] ...\n ON [object_type] priv_level\n TO user_specification [ user_options ...]\n\nuser_specification:\n username [authentication_option]\n | PUBLIC\nauthentication_option:\n IDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n | IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n | IDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_rule [OR authentication_rule ...]\n\nauthentication_rule:\n authentication_plugin\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} \'authentication_string\'\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} PASSWORD(\'password\')\n\nGRANT PROXY ON username\n TO user_specification [, user_specification ...]\n [WITH GRANT OPTION]\n\nGRANT rolename TO grantee [, grantee ...]\n [WITH ADMIN OPTION]\n\ngrantee:\n rolename\n username [authentication_option]\n\nuser_options:\n [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option] ...}]\n [WITH with_option [with_option] ...]\n\nobject_type:\n TABLE\n | FUNCTION\n | PROCEDURE\n | PACKAGE\n\npriv_level:\n *\n | *.*\n | db_name.*\n | db_name.tbl_name\n | tbl_name\n | db_name.routine_name\n\nwith_option:\n GRANT OPTION\n | resource_option\n\nresource_option:\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS count\n | MAX_STATEMENT_TIME time\n\ntls_option:\n SSL\n | X509\n | CIPHER \'cipher\'\n | ISSUER \'issuer\'\n | SUBJECT \'subject\'\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe GRANT statement allows you to grant privileges or roles to accounts. To\nuse GRANT, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and you must have the\nprivileges that you are granting.\n\nUse the REVOKE statement to revoke privileges granted with the GRANT statement.\n\nUse the SHOW GRANTS statement to determine what privileges an account has.\n\nAccount Names\n-------------\n\nFor GRANT statements, account names are specified as the username argument in\nthe same way as they are for CREATE USER statements. See account names from\nthe CREATE USER page for details on how account names are specified.\n\nImplicit Account Creation\n-------------------------\n\nThe GRANT statement also allows you to implicitly create accounts in some\ncases.\n\nIf the account does not yet exist, then GRANT can implicitly create it. To\nimplicitly create an account with GRANT, a user is required to have the same\nprivileges that would be required to explicitly create the account with the\nCREATE USER statement.\n\nIf the NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER SQL_MODE is set, then accounts can only be created\nif authentication information is specified, or with a CREATE USER statement.\nIf no authentication information is provided, GRANT will produce an error when\nthe specified account does not exist, for example:\n\nshow variables like \'%sql_mode%\' ;\n+---------------+--------------------------------------------+\n| Variable_name | Value |\n+---------------+--------------------------------------------+\n| sql_mode | NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION |\n+---------------+--------------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'user123\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED BY \'\';\nERROR 1133 (28000): Can\'t find any matching row in the user table\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'user123\'@\'%\' \n IDENTIFIED VIA PAM using \'mariadb\' require ssl ;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)\n\nselect host, user from mysql.user where user=\'user123\' ;\n\n+------+----------+\n| host | user |\n+------+----------+\n| % | user123 |\n+------+----------+\n\nPrivilege Levels\n----------------\n\nPrivileges can be set globally, for an entire database, for a table or\nroutine, or for individual columns in a table. Certain privileges can only be\nset at certain levels.\n\n* Global privileges priv_type are granted using *.* for\npriv_level. Global privileges include privileges to administer the database\nand manage user accounts, as well as privileges for all tables, functions, and\nprocedures. Global privileges are stored in the mysql.user table prior to\nMariaDB 10.4, and in mysql.global_priv table afterwards.\n* Database privileges priv_type are granted using db_name.*\nfor priv_level, or using just * to use default database. Database\nprivileges include privileges to create tables and functions, as well as\nprivileges for all tables, functions, and procedures in the database. Database\nprivileges are stored in the mysql.db table.\n* Table privileges priv_type are granted using db_name.tbl_name\nfor priv_level, or using just tbl_name to specify a table in the default\ndatabase. The TABLE keyword is optional. Table privileges include the\nability to select and change data in the table. Certain table privileges can\nbe granted for individual columns.\n* Column privileges priv_type are granted by specifying a table for\npriv_level and providing a column list after the privilege type. They allow\nyou to control exactly which columns in a table users can select and change.\n* Function privileges priv_type are granted using FUNCTION db_name.routine_name\nfor priv_level, or using just FUNCTION routine_name to specify a function\nin the default database.\n* Procedure privileges priv_type are granted using PROCEDURE\ndb_name.routine_name\nfor priv_level, or using just PROCEDURE routine_name to specify a procedure\nin the default database.\n\nThe USAGE Privilege\n-------------------\n\nThe USAGE privilege grants no real privileges. The SHOW GRANTS statement will\nshow a global USAGE privilege for a newly-created user. You can use USAGE with\nthe GRANT statement to change options like GRANT OPTION and\nMAX_USER_CONNECTIONS without changing any account privileges.\n\nThe ALL PRIVILEGES Privilege\n----------------------------\n\nThe ALL PRIVILEGES privilege grants all available privileges. Granting all\nprivileges only affects the given privilege level. For example, granting all\nprivileges on a table does not grant any privileges on the database or\nglobally.\n\nUsing ALL PRIVILEGES does not grant the special GRANT OPTION privilege.\n\nYou can use ALL instead of ALL PRIVILEGES.\n\nThe GRANT OPTION Privilege\n--------------------------\n\nUse the WITH GRANT OPTION clause to give users the ability to grant privileges\nto other users at the given privilege level. Users with the GRANT OPTION\nprivilege can only grant privileges they have. They cannot grant privileges at\na higher privilege level than they have the GRANT OPTION privilege.\n\nThe GRANT OPTION privilege cannot be set for individual columns. If you use\nWITH GRANT OPTION when specifying column privileges, the GRANT OPTION\nprivilege will be granted for the entire table.\n\nUsing the WITH GRANT OPTION clause is equivalent to listing GRANT OPTION as a\nprivilege.\n\nGlobal Privileges\n-----------------\n\nThe following table lists the privileges that can be granted globally. You can\nalso grant all database, table, and function privileges globally. When granted\nglobally, these privileges apply to all databases, tables, or functions,\nincluding those created later.\n\nTo set a global privilege, use *.* for priv_level.\n\nBINLOG ADMIN\n------------\n\nEnables administration of the binary log, including the PURGE BINARY LOGS\nstatement and setting the system variables:\n\n* binlog_annotate_row_events\n* binlog_cache_size\n* binlog_commit_wait_count\n* binlog_commit_wait_usec\n* binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates\n* binlog_expire_logs_seconds\n* binlog_file_cache_size\n* binlog_format\n* binlog_row_image\n* binlog_row_metadata\n* binlog_stmt_cache_size\n* expire_logs_days\n* log_bin_compress\n* log_bin_compress_min_len\n* log_bin_trust_function_creators\n* max_binlog_cache_size\n* max_binlog_size\n* max_binlog_stmt_cache_size\n* sql_log_bin and\n* sync_binlog.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nBINLOG MONITOR\n--------------\n\nNew name for REPLICATION CLIENT from MariaDB 10.5.2, (REPLICATION CLIENT still\nsupported as an alias for compatibility purposes). Permits running SHOW\ncommands related to the binary log, in particular the SHOW BINLOG STATUS and\nSHOW BINARY LOGS statements. Unlike REPLICATION CLIENT prior to MariaDB 10.5,\nSHOW REPLICA STATUS isn\'t included in this privilege, and REPLICA MONITOR is\nrequired.\n\nBINLOG REPLAY\n-------------\n\nEnables replaying the binary log with the BINLOG statement (generated by\nmariadb-binlog), executing SET timestamp when secure_timestamp is set to\nreplication, and setting the session values of system variables usually\nincluded in BINLOG output, in particular:\n\n* gtid_domain_id\n* gtid_seq_no\n* pseudo_thread_id\n* server_id.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2\n\nCONNECTION ADMIN\n----------------\n\nEnables administering connection resource limit options. This includes\nignoring the limits specified by:\n\n* max_connections\n* max_user_connections and\n* max_password_errors.\n\nThe statements specified in init_connect are not executed, killing connections\nand queries owned by other users is permitted. The following\nconnection-related system variables can be changed:\n\n* connect_timeout\n* disconnect_on_expired_password\n* extra_max_connections\n* init_connect\n* max_connections\n* max_connect_errors\n* max_password_errors\n* proxy_protocol_networks\n* secure_auth\n* slow_launch_time\n* thread_pool_exact_stats\n* thread_pool_dedicated_listener\n* thread_pool_idle_timeout\n* thread_pool_max_threads\n* thread_pool_min_threads\n* thread_pool_oversubscribe\n* thread_pool_prio_kickup_timer\n* thread_pool_priority\n* thread_pool_size, and\n* thread_pool_stall_limit.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nCREATE USER\n-----------\n\nCreate a user using the CREATE USER statement, or implicitly create a user\nwith the GRANT statement.\n\nFEDERATED ADMIN\n---------------\n\nExecute CREATE SERVER, ALTER SERVER, and DROP SERVER statements. Added in\nMariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nFILE\n----\n\nRead and write files on the server, using statements like LOAD DATA INFILE or\nfunctions like LOAD_FILE(). Also needed to create CONNECT outward tables.\nMariaDB server must have the permissions to access those files.\n\nGRANT OPTION\n------------\n\nGrant global privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.\n\nPROCESS\n-------\n\nShow information about the active processes, for example via SHOW PROCESSLIST\nor mysqladmin processlist. If you have the PROCESS privilege, you can see all\nthreads. Otherwise, you can see only your own threads (that is, threads\nassociated with the MariaDB account that you are using).\n\nREAD_ONLY ADMIN\n---------------\n\nUser can set the read_only system variable and allows the user to perform\nwrite operations, even when the read_only option is active. Added in MariaDB\n10.5.2.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.11.0, the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege has been removed from\nSUPER. The benefit of this is that one can remove the READ_ONLY ADMIN\nprivilege from all users and ensure that no one can make any changes on any\nnon-temporary tables. This is useful on replicas when one wants to ensure that\nthe replica is kept identical to the primary.\n\nRELOAD\n------\n\nExecute FLUSH statements or equivalent mariadb-admin/mysqladmin commands.\n\nREPLICATION CLIENT\n------------------\n\nExecute SHOW MASTER STATUS and SHOW BINARY LOGS informative statements.\nRenamed to BINLOG MONITOR in MariaDB 10.5.2 (but still supported as an alias\nfor compatibility reasons). SHOW SLAVE STATUS was part of REPLICATION CLIENT\nprior to MariaDB 10.5.\n\nREPLICATION MASTER ADMIN\n------------------------\n\nPermits administration of primary servers, including the SHOW REPLICA HOSTS\nstatement, and setting the gtid_binlog_state, gtid_domain_id,\nmaster_verify_checksum and server_id system variables. Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nREPLICA MONITOR\n---------------\n\nPermit SHOW REPLICA STATUS and SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS. From MariaDB 10.5.9.\n\nWhen a user would upgrade from an older major release to a MariaDB 10.5 minor\nrelease prior to MariaDB 10.5.9, certain user accounts would lose\ncapabilities. For example, a user account that had the REPLICATION CLIENT\nprivilege in older major releases could run SHOW REPLICA STATUS, but after\nupgrading to a MariaDB 10.5 minor release prior to MariaDB 10.5.9, they could\nno longer run SHOW REPLICA STATUS, because that statement was changed to\nrequire the REPLICATION REPLICA ADMIN privilege.\n\nThis issue is fixed in MariaDB 10.5.9 with this new privilege, which now\ngrants the user the ability to execute SHOW [ALL] (SLAVE | REPLICA) STATUS.\n\nWhen a database is upgraded from an older major release to MariaDB Server\n10.5.9 or later, any user accounts with the REPLICATION CLIENT or REPLICATION\nSLAVE privileges will automatically be granted the new REPLICA MONITOR\nprivilege. The privilege fix occurs when the server is started up, not when\nmariadb-upgrade is performed.\n\nHowever, when a database is upgraded from an early 10.5 minor release to\n10.5.9 and later, the user will have to fix any user account privileges\nmanually.\n\nREPLICATION REPLICA\n-------------------\n\nSynonym for REPLICATION SLAVE. From MariaDB 10.5.1.\n\nREPLICATION SLAVE\n-----------------\n\nAccounts used by replica servers on the primary need this privilege. This is\nneeded to get the updates made on the master. From MariaDB 10.5.1, REPLICATION\nREPLICA is an alias for REPLICATION SLAVE.\n\nREPLICATION SLAVE ADMIN\n-----------------------\n\nPermits administering replica servers, including START REPLICA/SLAVE, STOP\nREPLICA/SLAVE, CHANGE MASTER, SHOW REPLICA/SLAVE STATUS, SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS\nstatements, replaying the binary log with the BINLOG statement (generated by\nmariadb-binlog), and setting the system variables:\n\n* gtid_cleanup_batch_size\n* gtid_ignore_duplicates\n* gtid_pos_auto_engines\n* gtid_slave_pos\n* gtid_strict_mode\n* init_slave\n* read_binlog_speed_limit\n* relay_log_purge\n* relay_log_recovery\n* replicate_do_db\n* replicate_do_table\n* replicate_events_marked_for_skip\n* replicate_ignore_db\n* replicate_ignore_table\n* replicate_wild_do_table\n* replicate_wild_ignore_table\n* slave_compressed_protocol\n* slave_ddl_exec_mode\n* slave_domain_parallel_threads\n* slave_exec_mode\n* slave_max_allowed_packet\n* slave_net_timeout\n* slave_parallel_max_queued\n* slave_parallel_mode\n* slave_parallel_threads\n* slave_parallel_workers\n* slave_run_triggers_for_rbr\n* slave_sql_verify_checksum\n* slave_transaction_retry_interval\n* slave_type_conversions\n* sync_master_info\n* sync_relay_log, and\n* sync_relay_log_info.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nSET USER\n--------\n','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/grant/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nEnables setting the DEFINER when creating triggers, views, stored functions\nand stored procedures. Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nSHOW DATABASES\n--------------\n\nList all databases using the SHOW DATABASES statement. Without the SHOW\nDATABASES privilege, you can still issue the SHOW DATABASES statement, but it\nwill only list databases containing tables on which you have privileges.\n\nSHUTDOWN\n--------\n\nShut down the server using SHUTDOWN or the mysqladmin shutdown command.\n\nSUPER\n-----\n\nExecute superuser statements: CHANGE MASTER TO, KILL (users who do not have\nthis privilege can only KILL their own threads), PURGE LOGS, SET global system\nvariables, or the mysqladmin debug command. Also, this permission allows the\nuser to write data even if the read_only startup option is set, enable or\ndisable logging, enable or disable replication on replica, specify a DEFINER\nfor statements that support that clause, connect once reaching the\nMAX_CONNECTIONS. If a statement has been specified for the init-connect mysqld\noption, that command will not be executed when a user with SUPER privileges\nconnects to the server.\n\nThe SUPER privilege has been split into multiple smaller privileges from\nMariaDB 10.5.2 to allow for more fine-grained privileges, although it remains\nan alias for these smaller privileges.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.11.0, the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege has been removed from\nSUPER. The benefit of this is that one can remove the READ_ONLY ADMIN\nprivilege from all users and ensure that no one can make any changes on any\nnon-temporary tables. This is useful on replicas when one wants to ensure that\nthe replica is kept identical to the primary.\n\nDatabase Privileges\n-------------------\n\nThe following table lists the privileges that can be granted at the database\nlevel. You can also grant all table and function privileges at the database\nlevel. Table and function privileges on a database apply to all tables or\nfunctions in that database, including those created later.\n\nTo set a privilege for a database, specify the database using db_name.* for\npriv_level, or just use * to specify the default database.\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE | Create a database using the CREATE |\n| | DATABASE statement, when the privilege |\n| | is granted for a database. You can |\n| | grant the CREATE privilege on |\n| | databases that do not yet exist. This |\n| | also grants the CREATE privilege on |\n| | all tables in the database. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE ROUTINE | Create Stored Programs using the |\n| | CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION |\n| | statements. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES | Create temporary tables with the |\n| | CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statement. This |\n| | privilege enable writing and dropping |\n| | those temporary tables |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DROP | Drop a database using the DROP |\n| | DATABASE statement, when the privilege |\n| | is granted for a database. This also |\n| | grants the DROP privilege on all |\n| | tables in the database. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| EVENT | Create, drop and alter EVENTs. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant database privileges. You can |\n| | only grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| LOCK TABLES | Acquire explicit locks using the LOCK |\n| | TABLES statement; you also need to |\n| | have the SELECT privilege on a table, |\n| | in order to lock it. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nTable Privileges\n----------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| ALTER | Change the structure of an existing |\n| | table using the ALTER TABLE statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE | Create a table using the CREATE TABLE |\n| | statement. You can grant the CREATE |\n| | privilege on tables that do not yet |\n| | exist. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE VIEW | Create a view using the CREATE_VIEW |\n| | statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DELETE | Remove rows from a table using the |\n| | DELETE statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DELETE HISTORY | Remove historical rows from a table |\n| | using the DELETE HISTORY statement. |\n| | Displays as DELETE VERSIONING ROWS |\n| | when running SHOW GRANTS until MariaDB |\n| | 10.3.15 and until MariaDB 10.4.5 |\n| | (MDEV-17655), or when running SHOW |\n| | PRIVILEGES until MariaDB 10.5.2, |\n| | MariaDB 10.4.13 and MariaDB 10.3.23 |\n| | (MDEV-20382). From MariaDB 10.3.4. |\n| | From MariaDB 10.3.5, if a user has the |\n| | SUPER privilege but not this |\n| | privilege, running mysql_upgrade will |\n| | grant this privilege as well. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DROP | Drop a table using the DROP TABLE |\n| | statement or a view using the DROP |\n| | VIEW statement. Also required to |\n| | execute the TRUNCATE TABLE statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant table privileges. You can only |\n| | grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| INDEX | Create an index on a table using the |\n| | CREATE INDEX statement. Without the |\n| | INDEX privilege, you can still create |\n| | indexes when creating a table using |\n| | the CREATE TABLE statement if the you |\n| | have the CREATE privilege, and you can |\n| | create indexes using the ALTER TABLE |\n| | statement if you have the ALTER |\n| | privilege. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| INSERT | Add rows to a table using the INSERT |\n| | statement. The INSERT privilege can |\n| | also be set on individual columns; see |\n| | Column Privileges below for details. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| REFERENCES | Unused. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| SELECT | Read data from a table using the |\n| | SELECT statement. The SELECT privilege |\n| | can also be set on individual columns; |\n| | see Column Privileges below for |\n| | details. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| SHOW VIEW | Show the CREATE VIEW statement to |\n| | create a view using the SHOW CREATE |\n| | VIEW statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| TRIGGER | Execute triggers associated to tables |\n| | you update, execute the CREATE TRIGGER |\n| | and DROP TRIGGER statements. You will |\n| | still be able to see triggers. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| UPDATE | Update existing rows in a table using |\n| | the UPDATE statement. UPDATE |\n| | statements usually include a WHERE |\n| | clause to update only certain rows. |\n| | You must have SELECT privileges on the |\n| | table or the appropriate columns for |\n| | the WHERE clause. The UPDATE privilege |\n| | can also be set on individual columns; |\n| | see Column Privileges below for |\n| | details. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nColumn Privileges\n-----------------\n\nSome table privileges can be set for individual columns of a table. To use\ncolumn privileges, specify the table explicitly and provide a list of column\nnames after the privilege type. For example, the following statement would\nallow the user to read the names and positions of employees, but not other\ninformation from the same table, such as salaries.\n\nGRANT SELECT (name, position) on Employee to \'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\';\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| INSERT (column_list) | Add rows specifying values in columns |\n| | using the INSERT statement. If you |\n| | only have column-level INSERT |\n| | privileges, you must specify the |\n| | columns you are setting in the INSERT |\n| | statement. All other columns will be |\n| | set to their default values, or NULL. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| REFERENCES (column_list) | Unused. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| SELECT (column_list) | Read values in columns using the |\n| | SELECT statement. You cannot access or |\n| | query any columns for which you do not |\n| | have SELECT privileges, including in |\n| | WHERE, ON, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY |\n| | clauses. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| UPDATE (column_list) | Update values in columns of existing |\n| | rows using the UPDATE statement. |\n| | UPDATE statements usually include a |\n| | WHERE clause to update only certain |\n| | rows. You must have SELECT privileges |\n| | on the table or the appropriate |\n| | columns for the WHERE clause. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nFunction Privileges\n-------------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |') WHERE help_topic_id = 107; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| ALTER ROUTINE | Change the characteristics of a stored |\n| | function using the ALTER FUNCTION |\n| | statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| EXECUTE | Use a stored function. You need SELECT |\n| | privileges for any tables or columns |\n| | accessed by the function. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant function privileges. You can |\n| | only grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nProcedure Privileges\n--------------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| ALTER ROUTINE | Change the characteristics of a stored |\n| | procedure using the ALTER PROCEDURE |\n| | statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| EXECUTE | Execute a stored procedure using the |\n| | CALL statement. The privilege to call |\n| | a procedure may allow you to perform |\n| | actions you wouldn\'t otherwise be able |\n| | to do, such as insert rows into a |\n| | table. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant procedure privileges. You can |\n| | only grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE mysql.create_db TO maintainer;\n\nProxy Privileges\n----------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| PROXY | Permits one user to be a proxy for |\n| | another. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nThe PROXY privilege allows one user to proxy as another user, which means\ntheir privileges change to that of the proxy user, and the CURRENT_USER()\nfunction returns the user name of the proxy user.\n\nThe PROXY privilege only works with authentication plugins that support it.\nThe default mysql_native_password authentication plugin does not support proxy\nusers.\n\nThe pam authentication plugin is the only plugin included with MariaDB that\ncurrently supports proxy users. The PROXY privilege is commonly used with the\npam authentication plugin to enable user and group mapping with PAM.\n\nFor example, to grant the PROXY privilege to an anonymous account that\nauthenticates with the pam authentication plugin, you could execute the\nfollowing:\n\nCREATE USER \'dba\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED BY \'strongpassword\';\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'dba\'@\'%\' ;\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'%\' TO \'\'@\'%\';\n\nA user account can only grant the PROXY privilege for a specific user account\nif the granter also has the PROXY privilege for that specific user account,\nand if that privilege is defined WITH GRANT OPTION. For example, the following\nexample fails because the granter does not have the PROXY privilege for that\nspecific user account at all:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\nERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user \'alice\'@\'localhost\'\n\nAnd the following example fails because the granter does have the PROXY\nprivilege for that specific user account, but it is not defined WITH GRANT\nOPTION:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' |\n| GRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\nERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user \'alice\'@\'localhost\'\n\nBut the following example succeeds because the granter does have the PROXY\nprivilege for that specific user account, and it is defined WITH GRANT OPTION:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' WITH GRANT OPTION |\n| GRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\n\nA user account can grant the PROXY privilege for any other user account if the\ngranter has the PROXY privilege for the \'\'@\'%\' anonymous user account, like\nthis:\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'\'@\'%\' TO \'dba\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\n\nFor example, the following example succeeds because the user can grant the\nPROXY privilege for any other user account:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' WITH GRANT OPTION |\n| GRANT PROXY ON \'\'@\'%\' TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'app1_dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.004 sec)\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'app2_dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'carol\'@\'localhost\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.004 sec)\n\nThe default root user accounts created by mysql_install_db have this\nprivilege. For example:\n\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'root\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\nGRANT PROXY ON \'\'@\'%\' TO \'root\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\n\nThis allows the default root user accounts to grant the PROXY privilege for\nany other user account, and it also allows the default root user accounts to\ngrant others the privilege to do the same.\n\nAuthentication Options\n----------------------\n\nThe authentication options for the GRANT statement are the same as those for\nthe CREATE USER statement.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a\npassword. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by\nthe PASSWORD function prior to being stored.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can create the user with:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nIf the user account already exists and if you provide the IDENTIFIED BY\nclause, then the user\'s password will be changed. You must have the privileges\nneeded for the SET PASSWORD statement to change a user\'s password with GRANT.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause can be used to provide an account\nwith a password that has already been hashed. The password should be specified\nas a hash that was provided by the PASSWORD function. It will be stored as-is.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can find the hash with:\n\nSELECT PASSWORD(\'mariadb\');\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| PASSWORD(\'mariadb\') |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n1 row in set (0.00 sec)\n\nAnd then we can create a user with the hash:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \n PASSWORD \'*54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nIf the user account already exists and if you provide the IDENTIFIED BY\nclause, then the user\'s password will be changed. You must have the privileges\nneeded for the SET PASSWORD statement to change a user\'s password with GRANT.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_plugin\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin allows you to specify that\nthe account should be authenticated by a specific authentication plugin. The\nplugin name must be an active authentication plugin as per SHOW PLUGINS. If it\ndoesn\'t show up in that output, then you will need to install it with INSTALL\nPLUGIN or INSTALL SONAME.\n\nFor example, this could be used with the PAM authentication plugin:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam;\n\nSome authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a\nUSING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a\nservice name:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\n\nThe exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific\nauthentication plugin.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.0\n----------------------------\nThe USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide a plain-text password to a\nplugin if it\'s provided as an argument to the PASSWORD() function. This is\nonly valid for authentication plugins that have implemented a hook for the\nPASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519 authentication plugin supports\nthis:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 \n USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nOne can specify many authentication plugins, they all work as alternatives\nways of authenticating a user:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 \n USING PASSWORD(\'secret\') OR unix_socket;\n\nBy default, when you create a user without specifying an authentication\nplugin, MariaDB uses the mysql_native_password plugin.\n\nResource Limit Options\n----------------------\n\nIt is possible to set per-account limits for certain server resources. The\nfollowing table shows the values that can be set per account:\n\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+') WHERE help_topic_id = 107; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| Limit Type | Decription |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR | Number of statements that the |\n| | account can issue per hour |\n| | (including updates) |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR | Number of updates (not queries) |\n| | that the account can issue per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR | Number of connections that the |\n| | account can start per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS | Number of simultaneous connections |\n| | that can be accepted from the same |\n| | account; if it is 0, |\n| | max_connections will be used |\n| | instead; if max_connections is 0, |\n| | there is no limit for this |\n| | account\'s simultaneous connections. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_STATEMENT_TIME | Timeout, in seconds, for statements |\n| | executed by the user. See also |\n| | Aborting Statements that Exceed a |\n| | Certain Time to Execute. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n\nIf any of these limits are set to 0, then there is no limit for that resource\nfor that user.\n\nTo set resource limits for an account, if you do not want to change that\naccount\'s privileges, you can issue a GRANT statement with the USAGE\nprivilege, which has no meaning. The statement can name some or all limit\ntypes, in any order.\n\nHere is an example showing how to set resource limits:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'someone\'@\'localhost\' WITH\n MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;\n\nThe resources are tracked per account, which means \'user\'@\'server\'; not per\nuser name or per connection.\n\nThe count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.\n\nUsers with the CONNECTION ADMIN privilege (in MariaDB 10.5.2 and later) or the\nSUPER privilege are not restricted by max_user_connections, max_connections,\nor max_password_errors.\n\nPer account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql\ndatabase. Columns used for resources limits are named max_questions,\nmax_updates, max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and\nmax_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS).\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without\nencrypting it. This is generally acceptable when the server and client run on\nthe same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.\nHowever, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or\nthey are in a high-risk network, the lack of encryption does introduce\nsecurity concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the\ntraffic as it is sent over the network between them.\n\nTo mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit\nbetween the server and clients using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)\nprotocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly\nspeaking the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the\nprotocol is now considered insecure. The documentation still uses the term SSL\noften and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status\nvariables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its\nsecure successors.\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine\nwhether your MariaDB server has TLS support.\n\nYou can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For\ninstance, you might use this with user accounts that require access to\nsensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These\nrestrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER\nUSER, or GRANT statements. The following options are available:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE NONE | TLS is not required for this account, but can |\n| | still be used. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SSL | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. This option cannot |\n| | be combined with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE X509 | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. This option implies |\n| | REQUIRE SSL. This option cannot be combined |\n| | with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE ISSUER \'issuer\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate |\n| | Authority must be the one specified via the |\n| | string issuer. This option implies REQUIRE |\n| | X509. This option can be combined with the |\n| | SUBJECT, and CIPHER options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SUBJECT \'subject\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the |\n| | certificate\'s Subject must be the one |\n| | specified via the string subject. This option |\n| | implies REQUIRE X509. This option can be |\n| | combined with the ISSUER, and CIPHER options |\n| | in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE CIPHER \'cipher\' | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. Also, the encryption |\n| | used for the connection must use a specific |\n| | cipher method specified in the string cipher. |\n| | This option implies REQUIRE SSL. This option |\n| | can be combined with the ISSUER, and SUBJECT |\n| | options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n\nThe REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the\nAND keyword can be used to separate individual options, but it is not required.\n\nFor example, you can create a user account that requires these TLS options\nwith the following:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'%\'\n REQUIRE SUBJECT \'/CN=alice/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland\'\n AND ISSUER \'/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter\nParker/emailAddress=p.parker@marvel.com\'\n AND CIPHER \'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA\';\n\nIf any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client\nwho tries to connect with that user account will have to be configured to\nconnect with TLS.\n\nSee Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to\nenable TLS on the client and server.\n\nRoles\n-----\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nGRANT role TO grantee [, grantee ... ]\n[ WITH ADMIN OPTION ]\n\ngrantee:\n rolename\n username [authentication_option]\n\nThe GRANT statement is also used to grant the use of a role to one or more\nusers or other roles. In order to be able to grant a role, the grantor doing\nso must have permission to do so (see WITH ADMIN in the CREATE ROLE article).\n\nSpecifying the WITH ADMIN OPTION permits the grantee to in turn grant the role\nto another.\n\nFor example, the following commands show how to grant the same role to a\ncouple different users.\n\nGRANT journalist TO hulda;\n\nGRANT journalist TO berengar WITH ADMIN OPTION;\n\nIf a user has been granted a role, they do not automatically obtain all\npermissions associated with that role. These permissions are only in use when\nthe user activates the role with the SET ROLE statement.\n\nTO PUBLIC\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.11\n---------------------------\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nGRANT <privilege> ON <database>.<object> TO PUBLIC;\nREVOKE <privilege> ON <database>.<object> FROM PUBLIC;\n\nGRANT ... TO PUBLIC grants privileges to all users with access to the server.\nThe privileges also apply to users created after the privileges are granted.\nThis can be useful when one only wants to state once that all users need to\nhave a certain set of privileges.\n\nWhen running SHOW GRANTS, a user will also see all privileges inherited from\nPUBLIC. SHOW GRANTS FOR PUBLIC will only show TO PUBLIC grants.\n\nGrant Examples\n--------------\n\nGranting Root-like Privileges\n-----------------------------\n\nYou can create a user that has privileges similar to the default root accounts\nby executing the following:\n\nCREATE USER \'alexander\'@\'localhost\';\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to \'alexander\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/grant/') WHERE help_topic_id = 107; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (108,10,'RENAME USER','Syntax\n------\n\nRENAME USER old_user TO new_user\n [, old_user TO new_user] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe RENAME USER statement renames existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you\nmust have the global CREATE USER privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the\nmysql database. Each account is named using the same format as for the CREATE\nUSER statement; for example, \'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\'. If you specify only the\nuser name part of the account name, a host name part of \'%\' is used.\n\nIf any of the old user accounts do not exist or any of the new user accounts\nalready exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an error occurs, RENAME USER\nwill still rename the accounts that do not result in an error.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE USER \'donald\', \'mickey\';\nRENAME USER \'donald\' TO \'duck\'@\'localhost\', \'mickey\' TO \'mouse\'@\'localhost\';\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rename-user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rename-user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (109,10,'REVOKE','Privileges\n----------\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nREVOKE \n priv_type [(column_list)]\n [, priv_type [(column_list)]] ...\n ON [object_type] priv_level\n FROM user [, user] ...\n\nREVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION\n FROM user [, user] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe REVOKE statement enables system administrators to revoke privileges (or\nroles - see section below) from MariaDB accounts. Each account is named using\nthe same format as for the GRANT statement; for example,\n\'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\'. If you specify only the user name part of the account\nname, a host name part of \'%\' is used. For details on the levels at which\nprivileges exist, the allowable priv_type and priv_level values, and the\nsyntax for specifying users and passwords, see GRANT.\n\nTo use the first REVOKE syntax, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and\nyou must have the privileges that you are revoking.\n\nTo revoke all privileges, use the second syntax, which drops all global,\ndatabase, table, column, and routine privileges for the named user or users:\n\nREVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM user [, user] ...\n\nTo use this REVOKE syntax, you must have the global CREATE USER privilege or\nthe UPDATE privilege for the mysql database. See GRANT.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nREVOKE SUPER ON *.* FROM \'alexander\'@\'localhost\';\n\nRoles\n-----\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nREVOKE role [, role ...]\n FROM grantee [, grantee2 ... ]\n\nREVOKE ADMIN OPTION FOR role FROM grantee [, grantee2]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nREVOKE is also used to remove a role from a user or another role that it\'s\npreviously been assigned to. If a role has previously been set as a default\nrole, REVOKE does not remove the record of the default role from the\nmysql.user table. If the role is subsequently granted again, it will again be\nthe user\'s default. Use SET DEFAULT ROLE NONE to explicitly remove this.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.1.13, the REVOKE role statement was not permitted in\nprepared statements.\n\nExample\n-------\n\nREVOKE journalist FROM hulda\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/revoke/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/revoke/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (110,10,'SET PASSWORD','Syntax\n------\n\nSET PASSWORD [FOR user] =\n {\n PASSWORD(\'some password\')\n | OLD_PASSWORD(\'some password\')\n | \'encrypted password\'\n }\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe SET PASSWORD statement assigns a password to an existing MariaDB user\naccount.\n\nIf the password is specified using the PASSWORD() or OLD_PASSWORD() function,\nthe literal text of the password should be given. If the password is specified\nwithout using either function, the password should be the already-encrypted\npassword value as returned by PASSWORD().\n\nOLD_PASSWORD() should only be used if your MariaDB/MySQL clients are very old\n(< 4.0.0).\n\nWith no FOR clause, this statement sets the password for the current user. Any\nclient that has connected to the server using a non-anonymous account can\nchange the password for that account.\n\nWith a FOR clause, this statement sets the password for a specific account on\nthe current server host. Only clients that have the UPDATE privilege for the\nmysql database can do this. The user value should be given in\nuser_name@host_name format, where user_name and host_name are exactly as they\nare listed in the User and Host columns of the mysql.user table (or view in\nMariaDB-10.4 onwards) entry.\n\nThe argument to PASSWORD() and the password given to MariaDB clients can be of\narbitrary length.\n\nAuthentication Plugin Support\n-----------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, SET PASSWORD (with or without PASSWORD()) works for\naccounts authenticated via any authentication plugin that supports passwords\nstored in the mysql.global_priv table.\n\nThe ed25519, mysql_native_password, and mysql_old_password authentication\nplugins store passwords in the mysql.global_priv table.\n\nIf you run SET PASSWORD on an account that authenticates with one of these\nauthentication plugins that stores passwords in the mysql.global_priv table,\nthen the PASSWORD() function is evaluated by the specific authentication\nplugin used by the account. The authentication plugin hashes the password with\na method that is compatible with that specific authentication plugin.\n\nThe unix_socket, named_pipe, gssapi, and pam authentication plugins do not\nstore passwords in the mysql.global_priv table. These authentication plugins\nrely on other methods to authenticate the user.\n\nIf you attempt to run SET PASSWORD on an account that authenticates with one\nof these authentication plugins that doesn\'t store a password in the\nmysql.global_priv table, then MariaDB Server will raise a warning like the\nfollowing:\n\nSET PASSWORD is ignored for users authenticating via unix_socket plugin\n\nSee Authentication from MariaDB 10.4 for an overview of authentication changes\nin MariaDB 10.4.\n\nMariaDB until 10.3\n------------------\nIn MariaDB 10.3 and before, SET PASSWORD (with or without PASSWORD()) only\nworks for accounts authenticated via mysql_native_password or\nmysql_old_password authentication plugins\n\nPasswordless User Accounts\n--------------------------\n\nUser accounts do not always require passwords to login.\n\nThe unix_socket , named_pipe and gssapi authentication plugins do not require\na password to authenticate the user.\n\nThe pam authentication plugin may or may not require a password to\nauthenticate the user, depending on the specific configuration.\n\nThe mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password authentication plugins\nrequire passwords for authentication, but the password can be blank. In that\ncase, no password is required.\n\nIf you provide a password while attempting to log into the server as an\naccount that doesn\'t require a password, then MariaDB server will simply\nignore the password.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, a user account can be defined to use multiple\nauthentication plugins in a specific order of preference. This specific\nscenario may be more noticeable in these versions, since an account could be\nassociated with some authentication plugins that require a password, and some\nthat do not.\n\nExample\n-------\n\nFor example, if you had an entry with User and Host column values of \'bob\' and\n\'%.loc.gov\', you would write the statement like this:\n\nSET PASSWORD FOR \'bob\'@\'%.loc.gov\' = PASSWORD(\'newpass\');\n\nIf you want to delete a password for a user, you would do:\n\nSET PASSWORD FOR \'bob\'@localhost = PASSWORD(\"\");\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-password/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-password/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (111,10,'CREATE ROLE','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE] ROLE [IF NOT EXISTS] role \n [WITH ADMIN\n {CURRENT_USER | CURRENT_ROLE | user | role}]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe CREATE ROLE statement creates one or more MariaDB roles. To use it, you\nmust have the global CREATE USER privilege or the INSERT privilege for the\nmysql database. For each account, CREATE ROLE creates a new row in the\nmysql.user table that has no privileges, and with the corresponding is_role\nfield set to Y. It also creates a record in the mysql.roles_mapping table.\n\nIf any of the specified roles already exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an\nerror occurs, CREATE ROLE will still create the roles that do not result in an\nerror. The maximum length for a role is 128 characters. Role names can be\nquoted, as explained in the Identifier names page. Only one error is produced\nfor all roles which have not been created:\n\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE ROLE failed for \'a\',\'b\',\'c\'\n\nFailed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same\nerror code.\n\nPUBLIC and NONE are reserved, and cannot be used as role names. NONE is used\nto unset a role and PUBLIC has a special use in other systems, such as Oracle,\nso is reserved for compatibility purposes.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as role names, see Identifier Names.\n\nWITH ADMIN\n----------\n\nThe optional WITH ADMIN clause determines whether the current user, the\ncurrent role or another user or role has use of the newly created role. If the\nclause is omitted, WITH ADMIN CURRENT_USER is treated as the default, which\nmeans that the current user will be able to GRANT this role to users.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nIf the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it acts as a shortcut for:\n\nDROP ROLE IF EXISTS name;\nCREATE ROLE name ...;\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nWhen the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead\nof an error if the specified role already exists.

It assists larger\norganizations where, typically, a number of users would have the same\nprivileges, and, previously, the only way to change the privileges for a group\nof users was by changing each user\'s privileges individually.\n\nAlternatively, multiple external users could have been assigned the same user,\nand there would have been no way to see which actual user was responsible for\nwhich action.\n\nWith roles, managing this is easy. For example, there could be a number of\nusers assigned to a journalist role, with identical privileges. Changing the\nprivileges for all the journalists is a matter of simply changing the role\'s\nprivileges, while the individual user is still linked with any changes that\ntake place.\n\nRoles are created with the CREATE ROLE statement, and dropped with the DROP\nROLE statement. Roles are then assigned to a user with an extension to the\nGRANT statement, while privileges are assigned to a role in the regular way\nwith GRANT. Similarly, the REVOKE statement can be used to both revoke a role\nfrom a user, or revoke a privilege from a role.\n\nOnce a user has connected, he can obtain all privileges associated with a role\nby setting a role with the SET ROLE statement. The CURRENT_ROLE function\nreturns the currently set role for the session, if any.\n\nOnly roles granted directly to a user can be set, roles granted to other roles\ncannot. Instead the privileges granted to a role, which is, in turn, granted\nto another role (grantee), will be immediately available to any user who sets\nthis second grantee role.\n\nThe SET DEFAULT ROLE statement allows one to set a default role for a user. A\ndefault role is automatically enabled when a user connects (an implicit SET\nROLE statement is executed immediately after a connection is established).\n\nRoles were implemented as a GSoC 2013 project by Vicentiu Ciorbaru.\n\nSystem Tables\n-------------\n\nInformation about roles and who they\'ve been granted to can be found in the\nInformation Schema APPLICABLE_ROLES table as well as the mysql.ROLES_MAPPING\ntable.\n\nThe Information Schema ENABLED_ROLES table shows the enabled roles for the\ncurrent session.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCreating a role and granting a privilege:\n\nCREATE ROLE journalist;\n\nGRANT SHOW DATABASES ON *.* TO journalist;\n\nGRANT journalist to hulda;\n\nNote, that hulda has no SHOW DATABASES privilege, even though she was granted\nthe journalist role. She needs to set the role first:\n\nSHOW DATABASES;\n+--------------------+\n| Database |\n+--------------------+\n| information_schema |\n+--------------------+\n\nSELECT CURRENT_ROLE;\n+--------------+\n| CURRENT_ROLE |\n+--------------+\n| NULL |\n+--------------+\n\nSET ROLE journalist;\n\nSELECT CURRENT_ROLE;\n+--------------+\n| CURRENT_ROLE |\n+--------------+\n| journalist |\n+--------------+\n\nSHOW DATABASES;\n+--------------------+\n| Database |\n+--------------------+\n| ... |\n| information_schema |\n| mysql |\n| performance_schema |\n| test |\n| ... |\n+--------------------+\n\nSET ROLE NONE;\n\nRoles can be granted to roles:\n\nCREATE ROLE writer;\n\nGRANT SELECT ON data.* TO writer;\n\nGRANT writer TO journalist;\n\nBut one does not need to set a role granted to a role.

For example, this can be useful to slowly migrate users to the more\nsecure ed25519 authentication plugin over time, while allowing the old\nmysql_native_password authentication plugin as an alternative for the\ntransitional period.\n* The root@localhost user account created by mysql_install_db is created with\nthe ability to use two authentication plugins.\nFirst, it is configured to try to use the unix_socket authentication plugin.\nThis allows the root@localhost user to login without a password via the local\nUnix socket file defined by the socket system variable, as long as the login\nis attempted from a process owned by the operating system root user account.\nSecond, if authentication fails with the unix_socket authentication plugin,\nthen it is configured to try to use the mysql_native_password authentication\nplugin. However, an invalid password is initially set, so in order to\nauthenticate this way, a password must be set with SET PASSWORD.\nHowever, just using the unix_socket authentication plugin may be fine for many\nusers, and it is very secure. You may want to try going without password\nauthentication to see how well it works for you. Remember, the best way to\nkeep your password safe is not to have one!\n\n* All user accounts, passwords, and global privileges are now stored in the\nmysql.global_priv table. The mysql.user table still exists and has exactly the\nsame set of columns as before, but it’s now a view that references the\nmysql.global_priv table. Tools that analyze the mysql.user table should\ncontinue to work as before. From MariaDB 10.4.13, the dedicated mariadb.sys\nuser is created as the definer of this view. Previously root was the definer,\nwhich resulted in privilege problems when this username was changed.\n* MariaDB 10.4 adds supports for User Password Expiry, which is not active by\ndefault.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nAs a result of the above changes, the open-for-everyone all-powerful root\naccount is finally gone. And installation scripts will no longer demand that\nyou \"PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MariaDB root USER !\", because\nthe root account is securely created automatically.\n\nTwo all-powerful accounts are created by default — root and the OS user that\nowns the data directory, typically mysql. They are created as:\n\nCREATE USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket OR mysql_native_password\nUSING \'invalid\'\nCREATE USER mysql@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket OR\nmysql_native_password USING \'invalid\'\n\nUsing unix_socket means that if you are the system root user, you can login as\nroot@locahost without a password. This technique was pioneered by Otto\nKekäläinen in Debian MariaDB packages and has been successfully used in Debian\nsince as early as MariaDB 10.0.\n\nIt is based on a simple fact that asking the system root for a password adds\nno extra security — root has full access to all the data files and all process\nmemory anyway. But not asking for a password means, there is no root password\nto forget (no need for the numerous tutorials on \"how to reset MariaDB root\npassword\"). And if you want to script some tedious database work, there is no\nneed to store the root password in plain text for the script to use (no need\nfor debian-sys-maint user).\n\nStill, some users may wish to log in as MariaDB root without using sudo. Hence\nthe old authentication method — conventional MariaDB password — is still\navailable. By default it is disabled (\"invalid\" is not a valid password hash),\nbut one can set the password with a usual SET PASSWORD statement. And still\nretain the password-less access via sudo.\n\nIf you install MariaDB locally (say from a tarball), you would not want to use\nsudo to be able to login. This is why MariaDB creates a second all-powerful\nuser with the same name as a system user that owns the data directory. In\nlocal (not system-wide) installations, this will be the user who installed\nMariaDB — they automatically get convenient password-less root-like access,\nbecause they can access all the data files anyway.\n\nEven if MariaDB is installed system-wide, you may not want to run your\ndatabase maintenance scripts as system root — now you can run them as system\nmysql user. And you will know that they will never destroy your entire system,\neven if you make a typo in a shell script.\n\nHowever, seasoned MariaDB DBAs who are used to the old ways do need to make\nsome changes. See the examples below for common tasks.\n\nCookbook\n--------\n\nAfter installing MariaDB system-wide the first thing you’ve got used to doing\nis logging in into the unprotected root account and protecting it, that is,\nsetting the root password:\n\n$ sudo dnf install MariaDB-server\n$ mysql -uroot\n...\nMariaDB> set password = password(\"XH4VmT3_jt\");\n\nThis is not only unnecessary now, it will simply not work — there is no\nunprotected root account. To login as root use\n\n$ sudo dnf install MariaDB-server\n$ sudo mysql\n\nNote that it implies you are connecting via the unix socket, not tcp. If you\nhappen to have protocol=tcp in a system-wide /etc/my.cnf file, use sudo mysql\n--protocol=socket.\n\nAfter installing MariaDB locally you’ve also used to connect to the\nunprotected root account using mysql -uroot. This will not work either, simply\nuse mysql without specifying a username.\n\nIf you\'ve forgotten your root password, no problem — you can still connect\nusing sudo and change the password. And if you\'ve also removed unix_socket\nauthentication, to restore access do as follows:\n\n* restart MariaDB with --skip-grant-tables\n* login into the unprotected server\n* run FLUSH PRIVILEGES (note, before 10.4 this would’ve been the last step,\nnot anymore). This disables --skip-grant-tables and allows you to change the\nstored authentication method\n* run SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost to change the root password.\n\nTo view inside privilege tables, the old mysql.user table still exists. You\ncan select from it as before, although you cannot update it anymore. It\ndoesn’t show alternative authentication plugins and this was one of the\nreasons for switching to the mysql.global_priv table — complex authentication\nrules did not fit into rigid structure of a relational table. You can select\nfrom the new table, for example:\n\nselect concat(user, \'@\', host, \' => \', json_detailed(priv)) from\nmysql.global_priv;\n\nReverting to the Previous Authentication Method for root@localhost\n------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you don\'t want the root@localhost user account created by mysql_install_db\nto use unix_socket authentication by default, then there are a few ways to\nrevert to the previous mysql_native_password authentication method for this\nuser account.\n\nConfiguring mysql_install_db to Revert to the Previous Authentication Method\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOne way to revert to the previous mysql_native_password authentication method\nfor the root@localhost user account is to execute mysql_install_db with a\nspecial option. If mysql_install_db is executed while\n--auth-root-authentication-method=normal is specified, then it will create the\ndefault user accounts using the default behavior of MariaDB 10.3 and before.\n\nThis means that the root@localhost user account will use mysql_native_password\nauthentication by default. There are some other differences as well. See\nmysql_install_db: User Accounts Created by Default for more information.\n\nFor example, the option can be set on the command-line while running\nmysql_install_db:\n\nmysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/var/lib/mysql\n--auth-root-authentication-method=normal\n\nThe option can also be set in an option file in an option group supported by\nmysql_install_db. For example:\n\n[mysql_install_db]\nauth_root_authentication_method=normal\n\nIf the option is set in an option file and if mysql_install_db is executed,\nthen mysql_install_db will read this option from the option file, and it will\nautomatically set this option.\n\nAltering the User Account to Revert to the Previous Authentication Method\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you have already installed MariaDB, and if the root@localhost user account\nis already using unix_socket authentication, then you can revert to the old\nmysql_native_password authentication method for the user account by executing\nthe following:\n\nALTER USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING\nPASSWORD(\"verysecret\")\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-from-mariadb-104/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-from-mariadb-104/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (118,10,'User Password Expiry','MariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nUser password expiry was introduced in MariaDB 10.4.3.\n\nPassword expiry permits administrators to expire user passwords, either\nmanually or automatically.\n\nSystem Variables\n----------------\n\nThere are two system variables which affect password expiry:\ndefault_password_lifetime, which determines the amount of time between\nrequiring the user to change their password. 0, the default, means automatic\npassword expiry is not active.\n\nThe second variable, disconnect_on_expired_password determines whether a\nclient is permitted to connect if their password has expired, or whether they\nare permitted to connect in sandbox mode, able to perform a limited subset of\nqueries related to resetting the password, in particular SET PASSWORD and SET.\n\nSetting a Password Expiry Limit for a User\n------------------------------------------\n\nBesides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime,\npassword expiry times can be set on an individual user basis, overriding the\nglobal using the CREATE USER or ALTER USER statements, for example:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\n\nLimits can be disabled by use of the NEVER keyword, for example:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;\n\nA manually set limit can be restored the system default by use of DEFAULT, for\nexample:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;\n\nSHOW CREATE USER\n----------------\n\nThe SHOW CREATE USER statement will display information about the password\nexpiry status of the user.

If an error occurs, DES_ENCRYPT() returns NULL.\n\nThe 128 is added to make it easier to recognize an encrypted key. If you use a\nstring key, key_num is 127.\n\nThe string length for the result is given by this formula:\n\nnew_len = orig_len + (8 - (orig_len % 8)) + 1\n\nEach line in the DES key file has the following format:\n\nkey_num des_key_str\n\nEach key_num value must be a number in the range from 0 to 9. Lines in the\nfile may be in any order. des_key_str is the string that is used to encrypt\nthe message. There should be at least one space between the number and the\nkey. The first key is the default key that is used if you do not specify any\nkey argument to DES_ENCRYPT().\n\nYou can tell MariaDB to read new key values from the key file with the FLUSH\nDES_KEY_FILE statement. This requires the RELOAD privilege.\n\nOne benefit of having a set of default keys is that it gives applications a\nway to check for the existence of encrypted column values, without giving the\nend user the right to decrypt those values.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT customer_address FROM customer_table \n WHERE crypted_credit_card = DES_ENCRYPT(\'credit_card_number\');\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/des_encrypt/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/des_encrypt/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (131,12,'ENCODE','Syntax\n------\n\nENCODE(str,pass_str)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nENCODE is not considered cryptographically secure, and should not be used for\npassword encryption.\n\nEncrypt str using pass_str as the password.

Returns an empty string (>= MariaDB 10.0.4) if the argument was NULL.\n\nThe return value is a nonbinary string in the connection character set and\ncollation, determined by the values of the character_set_connection and\ncollation_connection system variables.\n\nThis is the function that is used for hashing MariaDB passwords for storage in\nthe Password column of the user table (see privileges), usually used with the\nSET PASSWORD statement. It is not intended for use in other applications.\n\nUntil MariaDB 10.3, the return value is 41-bytes in length, and the first\ncharacter is always \'*\'. From MariaDB 10.4, the function takes into account\nthe authentication plugin where applicable (A CREATE USER or SET PASSWORD\nstatement). For example, when used in conjunction with a user authenticated by\nthe ed25519 plugin, the statement will create a longer hash:\n\nCREATE USER edtest@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nCREATE USER edtest2@localhost IDENTIFIED BY \'secret\';\n\nSELECT CONCAT(user, \'@\', host, \' => \', JSON_DETAILED(priv)) FROM\nmysql.global_priv\n WHERE user LIKE \'edtest%\'\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\nCONCAT(user, \'@\', host, \' => \', JSON_DETAILED(priv)): edtest@localhost => {\n...\n \"plugin\": \"ed25519\",\n \"authentication_string\": \"ZIgUREUg5PVgQ6LskhXmO+eZLS0nC8be6HPjYWR4YJY\",\n...\n}\n*************************** 2. row ***************************\nCONCAT(user, \'@\', host, \' => \', JSON_DETAILED(priv)): edtest2@localhost => {\n...\n \"plugin\": \"mysql_native_password\",\n \"authentication_string\": \"*14E65567ABDB5135D0CFD9A70B3032C179A49EE7\",\n...\n}\n\nThe behavior of this function is affected by the value of the old_passwords\nsystem variable.

Returns 1 if the lock was obtained successfully, 0 if the\nattempt timed out (for example, because another client has previously locked\nthe name), or NULL if an error occurred (such as running out of memory or the\nthread was killed with mysqladmin kill).\n\nA lock is released with RELEASE_LOCK(), when the connection terminates (either\nnormally or abnormally). A connection can hold multiple locks at the same\ntime, so a lock that is no longer needed needs to be explicitly released.\n\nThe IS_FREE_LOCK function returns whether a specified lock a free or not, and\nthe IS_USED_LOCK whether the function is in use or not.\n\nLocks obtained with GET_LOCK() do not interact with transactions. That is,\ncommitting a transaction does not release any such locks obtained during the\ntransaction.\n\nIt is also possible to recursively set the same lock. If a lock with the same\nname is set n times, it needs to be released n times as well.\n\nstr is case insensitive for GET_LOCK() and related functions. If str is an\nempty string or NULL, GET_LOCK() returns NULL and does nothing. From MariaDB\n10.2.2, timeout supports microseconds. Before then, it was rounded to the\nclosest integer.\n\nIf the metadata_lock_info plugin is installed, locks acquired with this\nfunction are visible in the Information Schema METADATA_LOCK_INFO table.\n\nThis function can be used to implement application locks or to simulate record\nlocks. Names are locked on a server-wide basis. If a name has been locked by\none client, GET_LOCK() blocks any request by another client for a lock with\nthe same name. This allows clients that agree on a given lock name to use the\nname to perform cooperative advisory locking. But be aware that it also allows\na client that is not among the set of cooperating clients to lock a name,\neither inadvertently or deliberately, and thus prevent any of the cooperating\nclients from locking that name. One way to reduce the likelihood of this is to\nuse lock names that are database-specific or application-specific. For\nexample, use lock names of the form db_name.str or app_name.str.\n\nStatements using the GET_LOCK function are not safe for statement-based\nreplication.\n\nThe patch to permit multiple locks was contributed by Konstantin \"Kostja\"\nOsipov (MDEV-3917).\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT GET_LOCK(\'lock1\',10);\n+----------------------+\n| GET_LOCK(\'lock1\',10) |\n+----------------------+\n| 1 |\n+----------------------+\n\nSELECT IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\'), IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock1\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\') | IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock1\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 0 | 46 |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nSELECT IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\'), IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock2\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\') | IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock2\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 1 | NULL |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nMultiple locks can be held:\n\nSELECT GET_LOCK(\'lock2\',10);\n+----------------------+\n| GET_LOCK(\'lock2\',10) |\n+----------------------+\n| 1 |\n+----------------------+\n\nSELECT IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\'), IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\') | IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 0 | 0 |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nSELECT RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock1\'), RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock2\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock1\') | RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock2\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nIt is possible to hold the same lock recursively.

It\nwaits until the value of gtid_slave_pos has the same or higher seq_no within\nall replication domains specified in the gtid-list; in other words, it waits\nuntil the slave has reached the specified GTID position.\n\nAn optional second argument gives a timeout in seconds. If the timeout expires\nbefore the specified GTID position is reached, then the function returns -1.\nPassing NULL or a negative number for the timeout means no timeout, and the\nfunction will wait indefinitely.\n\nIf the wait completes without a timeout, 0 is returned. Passing NULL for the\ngtid-list makes the function return NULL immediately, without waiting.\n\nThe gtid-list may be the empty string, in which case MASTER_GTID_WAIT()\nreturns immediately. If the gtid-list contains fewer domains than\ngtid_slave_pos, then only those domains are waited upon. If gtid-list contains\na domain that is not present in @@gtid_slave_pos, then MASTER_GTID_WAIT() will\nwait until an event containing such domain_id arrives on the slave (or until\ntimed out or killed).\n\nMASTER_GTID_WAIT() can be useful to ensure that a slave has caught up to a\nmaster. Simply take the value of gtid_binlog_pos on the master, and use it in\na MASTER_GTID_WAIT() call on the slave; when the call completes, the slave\nwill have caught up with that master position.\n\nMASTER_GTID_WAIT() can also be used in client applications together with the\nlast_gtid session variable. This is useful in a read-scaleout replication\nsetup, where the application writes to a single master but divides the reads\nout to a number of slaves to distribute the load. In such a setup, there is a\nrisk that an application could first do an update on the master, and then a\nbit later do a read on a slave, and if the slave is not fast enough, the data\nread from the slave might not include the update just made, possibly confusing\nthe application and/or the end-user. One way to avoid this is to request the\nvalue of last_gtid on the master just after the update. Then before doing the\nread on the slave, do a MASTER_GTID_WAIT() on the value obtained from the\nmaster; this will ensure that the read is not performed until the slave has\nreplicated sufficiently far for the update to have become visible.\n\nNote that MASTER_GTID_WAIT() can be used even if the slave is configured not\nto use GTID for connections (CHANGE MASTER TO master_use_gtid=no). This is\nbecause from MariaDB 10, GTIDs are always logged on the master server, and\nalways recorded on the slave servers.\n\nDifferences to MASTER_POS_WAIT()\n--------------------------------\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() is global; it waits for any master connection to reach\n the specified GTID position. MASTER_POS_WAIT() works only against a\n specific connection. This also means that while MASTER_POS_WAIT() aborts if\n its master connection is terminated with STOP SLAVE or due to an error,\n MASTER_GTID_WAIT() continues to wait while slaves are stopped.\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() can take its timeout as a floating-point value, so a\n timeout in fractional seconds is supported, eg. MASTER_GTID_WAIT(\"0-1-100\",\n 0.5). (The minimum wait is one microsecond, 0.000001 seconds).\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() allows one to specify a timeout of zero in order to do a\n non-blocking check to see if the slaves have progressed to a specific GTID\nposition\n (MASTER_POS_WAIT() takes a zero timeout as meaning an infinite wait). To do\n an infinite MASTER_GTID_WAIT(), specify a negative timeout, or omit the\n timeout argument.\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() does not return the number of events executed since the\n wait started, nor does it return NULL if a slave thread is stopped. It\n always returns either 0 for successful wait completed, or -1 for timeout\n reached (or NULL if the specified gtid-pos is NULL).\n\nSince MASTER_GTID_WAIT() looks only at the seq_no part of the GTIDs, not the\nserver_id, care is needed if a slave becomes diverged from another server so\nthat two different GTIDs with the same seq_no (in the same domain) arrive at\nthe same server. This situation is in any case best avoided; setting\ngtid_strict_mode is recommended, as this will prevent any such out-of-order\nsequence numbers from ever being replicated on a slave.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/master_gtid_wait/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/master_gtid_wait/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (159,14,'MASTER_POS_WAIT','Syntax\n------\n\nMASTER_POS_WAIT(log_name,log_pos[,timeout,[\"connection_name\"]])\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis function is useful in replication for controlling primary/replica\nsynchronization.

It is possible to avoid using a separator by specifying an empty\nstring.\n\nLIMIT\n-----\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nUntil MariaDB 10.3.2, it was not possible to use the LIMIT clause with\nGROUP_CONCAT. This restriction was lifted in MariaDB 10.3.3.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT student_name,\n GROUP_CONCAT(test_score)\n FROM student\n GROUP BY student_name;\n\nGet a readable list of MariaDB users from the mysql.user table:\n\nSELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT User ORDER BY User SEPARATOR \'\\n\')\n FROM mysql.user;\n\nIn the former example, DISTINCT is used because the same user may occur more\nthan once. The new line (\\n) used as a SEPARATOR makes the results easier to\nread.\n\nGet a readable list of hosts from which each user can connect:\n\nSELECT User, GROUP_CONCAT(Host ORDER BY Host SEPARATOR \', \') \n FROM mysql.user GROUP BY User ORDER BY User;\n\nThe former example shows the difference between the GROUP_CONCAT\'s ORDER BY\n(which sorts the concatenated hosts), and the SELECT\'s ORDER BY (which sorts\nthe rows).\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.3, LIMIT can be used with GROUP_CONCAT, so, for example,\ngiven the following table:\n\nCREATE TABLE d (dd DATE, cc INT);\n\nINSERT INTO d VALUES (\'2017-01-01\',1);\nINSERT INTO d VALUES (\'2017-01-02\',2);\nINSERT INTO d VALUES (\'2017-01-04\',3);\n\nthe following query:\n\nSELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc\nDESC),\",\",1) FROM d;\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc DESC),\",\",1) |\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| 2017-01-04:3 |\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n\ncan be more simply rewritten as:\n\nSELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc DESC LIMIT 1) FROM d;\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n| GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc DESC LIMIT 1) |\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n| 2017-01-04:3 |\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/group_concat/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/group_concat/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (180,16,'MAX','Syntax\n------\n\nMAX([DISTINCT] expr)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the largest, or maximum, value of expr.

The value of LAST_INSERT_ID() remains\nunchanged if no rows are successfully inserted.\n\nIf one gives an argument to LAST_INSERT_ID(), then it will return the value of\nthe expression and the next call to LAST_INSERT_ID() will return the same\nvalue. The value will also be sent to the client and can be accessed by the\nmysql_insert_id function.\n\nFor example, after inserting a row that generates an AUTO_INCREMENT value, you\ncan get the value like this:\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 9 |\n+------------------+\n\nYou can also use LAST_INSERT_ID() to delete the last inserted row:\n\nDELETE FROM product WHERE id = LAST_INSERT_ID();\n\nIf no rows were successfully inserted, LAST_INSERT_ID() returns 0.\n\nThe value of LAST_INSERT_ID() will be consistent across all versions if all\nrows in the INSERT or UPDATE statement were successful.\n\nThe currently executing statement does not affect the value of\nLAST_INSERT_ID(). Suppose that you generate an AUTO_INCREMENT value with one\nstatement, and then refer to LAST_INSERT_ID() in a multiple-row INSERT\nstatement that inserts rows into a table with its own AUTO_INCREMENT column.\nThe value of LAST_INSERT_ID() will remain stable in the second statement; its\nvalue for the second and later rows is not affected by the earlier row\ninsertions. (However, if you mix references to LAST_INSERT_ID() and\nLAST_INSERT_ID(expr), the effect is undefined.)\n\nIf the previous statement returned an error, the value of LAST_INSERT_ID() is\nundefined. For transactional tables, if the statement is rolled back due to an\nerror, the value of LAST_INSERT_ID() is left undefined. For manual ROLLBACK,\nthe value of LAST_INSERT_ID() is not restored to that before the transaction;\nit remains as it was at the point of the ROLLBACK.\n\nWithin the body of a stored routine (procedure or function) or a trigger, the\nvalue of LAST_INSERT_ID() changes the same way as for statements executed\noutside the body of these kinds of objects. The effect of a stored routine or\ntrigger upon the value of LAST_INSERT_ID() that is seen by following\nstatements depends on the kind of routine:\n\n* If a stored procedure executes statements that change the value of\nLAST_INSERT_ID(), the new value will be seen by statements that follow the\nprocedure call.\n\n* For stored functions and triggers that change the value, the value is\nrestored when the function or trigger ends, so following statements will not\nsee a changed value.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (\n id INTEGER UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,\n f VARCHAR(1))\nENGINE = InnoDB;\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'a\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 1 |\n+------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'b\');\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'c\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 3 |\n+------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'d\'),(\'e\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 4 |\n+------------------+\n\nSELECT * FROM t;\n+----+------+\n| id | f |\n+----+------+\n| 1 | a |\n| 2 | b |\n| 3 | c |\n| 4 | d |\n| 5 | e |\n+----+------+\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(12);\n+--------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID(12) |\n+--------------------+\n| 12 |\n+--------------------+\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 12 |\n+------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'f\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 6 |\n+------------------+\n\nSELECT * FROM t;\n+----+------+\n| id | f |\n+----+------+\n| 1 | a |\n| 2 | b |\n| 3 | c |\n| 4 | d |\n| 5 | e |\n| 6 | f |\n+----+------+\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(12);\n+--------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID(12) |\n+--------------------+\n| 12 |\n+--------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'g\');\n\nSELECT * FROM t;\n+----+------+\n| id | f |\n+----+------+\n| 1 | a |\n| 2 | b |\n| 3 | c |\n| 4 | d |\n| 5 | e |\n| 6 | f |\n| 7 | g |\n+----+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/last_insert_id/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/last_insert_id/');

For MariaDB\nnative applications, we recommend the usage of LIMIT, as it is easier to use\nand gives more predictable results than the usage of ROWNUM().\n\nThe main difference between using LIMIT and ROWNUM() to limit the rows in the\nresult is that LIMIT works on the result set while ROWNUM works on the number\nof accepted rows (before any ORDER or GROUP BY clauses).\n\nThe following queries will return the same results:\n\nSELECT * from t1 LIMIT 10;\nSELECT * from t1 WHERE ROWNUM() <= 10;\n\nWhile the following may return different results based on in which orders the\nrows are found:\n\nSELECT * from t1 ORDER BY a LIMIT 10;\nSELECT * from t1 ORDER BY a WHERE ROWNUM() <= 10;\n\nThe recommended way to use ROWNUM to limit the number of returned rows and get\npredictable results is to have the query in a subquery and test for ROWNUM()\nin the outer query:\n\nSELECT * FROM (select * from t1 ORDER BY a) WHERE ROWNUM() <= 10;\n\nROWNUM() can be used in the following contexts:\n\n* SELECT\n* INSERT\n* UPDATE\n* DELETE\n* LOAD DATA INFILE\n\nUsed in other contexts, ROWNUM() will return 0.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,ROWNUM()),(2,ROWNUM()),(3,ROWNUM());\n\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1),(2) returning a, ROWNUM();\n\nUPDATE t1 SET row_num_column=ROWNUM();\n\nDELETE FROM t1 WHERE a < 10 AND ROWNUM() < 2;\n\nLOAD DATA INFILE \'filename\' into table t1 fields terminated by \',\' \n lines terminated by \"\\r\\n\" (a,b) set c=ROWNUM();\n\nOptimizations\n-------------\n\nIn many cases where ROWNUM() is used, MariaDB will use the same optimizations\nit uses with LIMIT.\n\nLIMIT optimization is possible when using ROWNUM in the following manner:\n\n* When one is in a top level WHERE clause comparing ROWNUM() with a numerical\nconstant using any of the following expressions:\nROWNUM() < number\nROWNUM() <= number\nROWNUM() = 1\nROWNUM() can be also be the right argument to the comparison function.\n\nIn the above cases, LIMIT optimization can be done in the following cases:\n\n* For the current sub query when the ROWNUM comparison is done on the top\nlevel:\n\nSELECT * from t1 WHERE ROWNUM() <= 2 AND t1.a > 0\n\n* For an inner sub query, when the upper level has only a ROWNUM() comparison\nin the WHERE clause:\n\nSELECT * from (select * from t1) as t WHERE ROWNUM() <= 2\n\nOther Changes Related to ROWNUM\n-------------------------------\n\nWhen ROWNUM() is used anywhere in a query, the optimization to ignore ORDER BY\nin subqueries are disabled.\n\nThis was done to get the following common Oracle query to work as expected:\n\nselect * from (select * from t1 order by a desc) as t where rownum() <= 2;\n\nBy default MariaDB ignores any ORDER BY in subqueries both because the SQL\nstandard defines results sets in subqueries to be un-ordered and because of\nperformance reasons (especially when using views in subqueries). See MDEV-3926\n\"Wrong result with GROUP BY ... WITH ROLLUP\" for a discussion of this topic.\n\nOther Considerations\n--------------------\n\nWhile MariaDB tries to emulate Oracle\'s usage of ROWNUM() as closely as\npossible, there are cases where the result is different:\n\n* When the optimizer finds rows in a different order (because of different\nstorage methods or optimization). This may also happen in Oracle if one adds\nor deletes an index, in which case the rows may be found in a different order.\n\nNote that usage of ROWNUM() in functions or stored procedures will use their\nown context, not the caller\'s context.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rownum/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rownum/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (206,17,'ROW_COUNT','Syntax\n------\n\nROW_COUNT()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nROW_COUNT() returns the number of rows updated, inserted or deleted by the\npreceding statement. This is the same as the row count that the mysql client\ndisplays and the value from the mysql_affected_rows() C API function.\n\nGenerally:\n\n* For statements which return a result set (such as SELECT, SHOW, DESC or\nHELP), returns -1, even when the result set is empty. This is also true for\nadministrative statements, such as OPTIMIZE.\n* For DML statements other than SELECT and for ALTER TABLE, returns the number\nof affected rows.\n* For DDL statements (including TRUNCATE) and for other statements which don\'t\nreturn any result set (such as USE, DO, SIGNAL or DEALLOCATE PREPARE), returns\n0.\n\nFor UPDATE, affected rows is by default the number of rows that were actually\nchanged. If the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag to mysql_real_connect() is specified\nwhen connecting to mysqld, affected rows is instead the number of rows matched\nby the WHERE clause.\n\nFor REPLACE, deleted rows are also counted. So, if REPLACE deletes a row and\nadds a new row, ROW_COUNT() returns 2.\n\nFor INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY, updated rows are counted twice. So, if INSERT\nadds a new rows and modifies another row, ROW_COUNT() returns 3.\n\nROW_COUNT() does not take into account rows that are not directly\ndeleted/updated by the last statement. This means that rows deleted by foreign\nkeys or triggers are not counted.\n\nWarning: You can use ROW_COUNT() with prepared statements, but you need to\ncall it after EXECUTE, not after DEALLOCATE PREPARE, because the row count for\nallocate prepare is always 0.\n\nWarning: When used after a CALL statement, this function returns the number of\nrows affected by the last statement in the procedure, not by the whole\nprocedure.\n\nWarning: After INSERT DELAYED, ROW_COUNT() returns the number of the rows you\ntried to insert, not the number of the successful writes.\n\nThis information can also be found in the diagnostics area.\n\nStatements using the ROW_COUNT() function are not safe for replication.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (A INT);\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES(1),(2),(3);\n\nSELECT ROW_COUNT();\n+-------------+\n| ROW_COUNT() |\n+-------------+\n| 3 |\n+-------------+\n\nDELETE FROM t WHERE A IN(1,2);\n\nSELECT ROW_COUNT(); \n+-------------+\n| ROW_COUNT() |\n+-------------+\n| 2 |\n+-------------+\n\nExample with prepared statements:\n\nSET @q = \'INSERT INTO t VALUES(1),(2),(3);\';\n\nPREPARE stmt FROM @q;\n\nEXECUTE stmt;\nQuery OK, 3 rows affected (0.39 sec)\nRecords: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0\n\nSELECT ROW_COUNT();\n+-------------+\n| ROW_COUNT() |\n+-------------+\n| 3 |\n+-------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/row_count/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/row_count/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (207,17,'SCHEMA','Syntax\n------\n\nSCHEMA()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis function is a synonym for DATABASE().\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/schema/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/schema/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (208,17,'SESSION_USER','Syntax\n------\n\nSESSION_USER()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nSESSION_USER() is a synonym for USER().\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/session_user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/session_user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (209,17,'SYSTEM_USER','Syntax\n------\n\nSYSTEM_USER()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nSYSTEM_USER() is a synonym for USER().\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/system_user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/system_user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (210,17,'USER','Syntax\n------\n\nUSER()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the current MariaDB user name and host name, given when authenticating\nto MariaDB, as a string in the utf8 character set.\n\nNote that the value of USER() may differ from the value of CURRENT_USER(),\nwhich is the user used to authenticate the current client.

This is very useful if you want to\nknow if two tables are the same (for example on a master and slave).\n\nWith QUICK, the live table checksum is reported if it is available, or NULL\notherwise. This is very fast. A live checksum is enabled by specifying the\nCHECKSUM=1 table option when you create the table; currently, this is\nsupported only for Aria and MyISAM tables.\n\nWith EXTENDED, the entire table is read row by row and the checksum is\ncalculated. This can be very slow for large tables.\n\nIf neither QUICK nor EXTENDED is specified, MariaDB returns a live checksum if\nthe table storage engine supports it and scans the table otherwise.\n\nCHECKSUM TABLE requires the SELECT privilege for the table.\n\nFor a nonexistent table, CHECKSUM TABLE returns NULL and generates a warning.\n\nThe table row format affects the checksum value. If the row format changes,\nthe checksum will change. This means that when a table created with a\nMariaDB/MySQL version is upgraded to another version, the checksum value will\nprobably change.\n\nTwo identical tables should always match to the same checksum value; however,\nalso for non-identical tables there is a very slight chance that they will\nreturn the same value as the hashing algorithm is not completely\ncollision-free.\n\nIdentical Tables\n----------------\n\nIdentical tables mean that the CREATE statement is identical and that the\nfollowing variable, which affects the storage formats, was the same when the\ntables were created:\n\n* mysql56-temporal-format\n\nDifferences Between MariaDB and MySQL\n-------------------------------------\n\nCHECKSUM TABLE may give a different result as MariaDB doesn\'t ignore NULLs in\nthe columns as MySQL 5.1 does (Later MySQL versions should calculate checksums\nthe same way as MariaDB). You can get the \'old style\' checksum in MariaDB by\nstarting mysqld with the --old option. Note however that that the MyISAM and\nAria storage engines in MariaDB are using the new checksum internally, so if\nyou are using --old, the CHECKSUM command will be slower as it needs to\ncalculate the checksum row by row. Starting from MariaDB Server 10.9, --old is\ndeprecated and will be removed in a future release. Set --old-mode or OLD_MODE\nto COMPAT_5_1_CHECKSUM to get \'old style\' checksum.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/checksum-table/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/checksum-table/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (247,21,'OPTIMIZE TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nOPTIMIZE [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE\n tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...\n [WAIT n | NOWAIT]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nOPTIMIZE TABLE has two main functions.

Deleted rows are maintained\nin a linked list and subsequent INSERT operations reuse old row positions.\n\nThis statement requires SELECT and INSERT privileges for the table.\n\nBy default, OPTIMIZE TABLE statements are written to the binary log and will\nbe replicated. The NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG keyword (LOCAL is an alias) will ensure\nthe statement is not written to the binary log.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.19, OPTIMIZE TABLE statements are not logged to the binary\nlog if read_only is set. See also Read-Only Replicas.\n\nOPTIMIZE TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. You can use ALTER\nTABLE ... OPTIMIZE PARTITION to optimize one or more partitions.\n\nYou can use OPTIMIZE TABLE to reclaim the unused space and to defragment the\ndata file. With other storage engines, OPTIMIZE TABLE does nothing by default,\nand returns this message: \" The storage engine for the table doesn\'t support\noptimize\". However, if the server has been started with the --skip-new option,\nOPTIMIZE TABLE is linked to ALTER TABLE, and recreates the table. This\noperation frees the unused space and updates index statistics.\n\nThe Aria storage engine supports progress reporting for this statement.\n\nIf a MyISAM table is fragmented, concurrent inserts will not be performed\nuntil an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is executed on that table, unless the\nconcurrent_insert server system variable is set to ALWAYS.\n\nUpdating an InnoDB fulltext index\n---------------------------------\n\nWhen rows are added or deleted to an InnoDB fulltext index, the index is not\nimmediately re-organized, as this can be an expensive operation. Change\nstatistics are stored in a separate location . The fulltext index is only\nfully re-organized when an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is run.\n\nBy default, an OPTIMIZE TABLE will defragment a table. In order to use it to\nupdate fulltext index statistics, the innodb_optimize_fulltext_only system\nvariable must be set to 1. This is intended to be a temporary setting, and\nshould be reset to 0 once the fulltext index has been re-organized.\n\nSince fulltext re-organization can take a long time, the\ninnodb_ft_num_word_optimize variable limits the re-organization to a number of\nwords (2000 by default). You can run multiple OPTIMIZE statements to fully\nre-organize the index.\n\nDefragmenting InnoDB tablespaces\n--------------------------------\n\nMariaDB 10.1.1 merged the Facebook/Kakao defragmentation patch, allowing one\nto use OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment InnoDB tablespaces. For this functionality\nto be enabled, the innodb_defragment system variable must be enabled. No new\ntables are created and there is no need to copy data from old tables to new\ntables. Instead, this feature loads n pages (determined by\ninnodb-defragment-n-pages) and tries to move records so that pages would be\nfull of records and then frees pages that are fully empty after the operation.\nNote that tablespace files (including ibdata1) will not shrink as the result\nof defragmentation, but one will get better memory utilization in the InnoDB\nbuffer pool as there are fewer data pages in use.\n\nSee Defragmenting InnoDB Tablespaces for more details.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/optimize-table/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/optimize-table/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (248,21,'REPAIR TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nREPAIR [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE\n tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...\n [QUICK] [EXTENDED] [USE_FRM]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nREPAIR TABLE repairs a possibly corrupted table.

Its\nstructure members are:\n\n* my_bool maybe_null\nmaybe_null should be set to 1 if x_init can return a NULL value, Defaults to 1\nif any arguments are declared maybe_null.\n\n* unsigned int decimals\nNumber of decimals after the decimal point. The default, if an explicit number\nof decimals is passed in the arguments to the main function, is the maximum\nnumber of decimals, so if 9.5, 9.55 and 9.555 are passed to the function, the\ndefault would be three (based on 9.555, the maximum). If there are no\nexplicit number of decimals, the default is set to 31, or one more than the\nmaximum for the DOUBLE, FLOAT and DECIMAL types. This default can be changed\nin the function to suit the actual calculation.\n\n* unsigned int max_length\nMaximum length of the result. For integers, the default is 21. For strings,\nthe length of the longest argument. For reals, the default is 13 plus the\nnumber of decimals indicated by initid->decimals. The length includes any\nsigns or decimal points. Can also be set to 65KB or 16MB in order to return a\nBLOB. The memory remains unallocated, but this is used to decide on the data\ntype to use if the data needs to be temporarily stored.\n\n* char *ptr\nA pointer for use as required by the function. Commonly, initid->ptr is used\nto communicate allocated memory, with x_init() allocating the memory and\nassigning it to this pointer, x() using it, and x_deinit() de-allocating it.\n\n* my_bool const_item\nShould be set to 1 in x_init() if x() always returns the same value, otherwise\n0.\n\nAggregate Functions\n-------------------\n\nx_clear()\n---------\n\nx_clear() is a required function for aggregate functions, and is declared as\nfollows:\n\nvoid x_clear(UDF_INIT *initid, char *is_null, char *error);\n\nIt is called when the summary results need to be reset, that is at the\nbeginning of each new group. but also to reset the values when there were no\nmatching rows.\n\nis_null is set to point to CHAR(0) before calling x_clear().\n\nIn the case of an error, you can store the value to which the error argument\npoints (a single-byte variable, not a string string buffer) in the variable.\n\nx_reset()\n---------\n\nx_reset() is declared as follows:\n\nvoid x_reset(UDF_INIT *initid, UDF_ARGS *args,\n char *is_null, char *error);\n\nIt is called on finding the first row in a new group. Should reset the summary\nvariables, and then use UDF_ARGS as the first value in the group\'s internal\nsummary value. The function is not required if the UDF interface uses\nx_clear().\n\nx_add()\n-------\n\nx_add() is declared as follows:\n\nvoid x_add(UDF_INIT *initid, UDF_ARGS *args,\n char *is_null, char *error);\n\nIt is called for all rows belonging to the same group, and should be used to\nadd the value in UDF_ARGS to the internal summary variable.\n\nx_remove()\n----------\n\nx_remove() was added in MariaDB 10.4 and is declared as follows (same as\nx_add()):\n\nvoid x_remove(UDF_INIT* initid, UDF_ARGS* args,\n char* is_null, char *error );\n\nIt adds more efficient support of aggregate UDFs as window functions.\nx_remove() should \"subtract\" the row (reverse x_add()).

If the ENUM column is declared\nto permit NULL values, NULL becomes a valid value, as well as the default\nvalue (see below). If strict SQL Mode is not enabled, and an invalid value is\ninserted into an ENUM, a special empty string, with an index value of zero\n(see Numeric index, below), is inserted, with a warning.

It is supported for\ncompatibility with the INET6_ATON function, which also understands this\nformat. It\'s recommended to use the mapped format to store IPv4 addresses in\nINET6.\n\nWhen an IPv4 mapped (or compatible) value is stored in INET6, it still\noccupies 16 bytes:\n\nRetrieval\n---------\n\nOn retrieval, in the client-server text protocol, INET6 values are converted\nto the short text representation, according to RFC-5952, that is with all\nleading zeroes in each group removed and with consequent zero groups\ncompressed.\n\nBesides creating one\'s own stored function, there is no a way to retrieve an\nINET6 value using long text representation.\n\nCasting\n-------\n\n* CAST from a character string to INET6 understands addresses in short or long\ntext notation (including IPv4 mapped and compatible addresses). NULL is\nreturned if the format is not understood.\n* CAST from a binary string to INET6 requires a 16-byte string as an argument.\nNULL is returned if the argument length is not equal to 16.\n* CAST from other data types to INET6 first converts data to a character\nstring, then CAST from character string to INET6 is applied.\n* CAST from INET6 to CHAR returns short text address notation.\n* CAST from INET6 to BINARY returns its 16-byte binary string representation.\n* CAST from INET6 to data types other than CHAR (e.g. SIGNED, UNSIGNED, TIME,\netc) returns an error.\n\nComparisons\n-----------\n\nAn INET6 expression can be compared to:\n\n* another INET6 expression\n* a character string expression with a text (short or long) address\nrepresentation:\n* a 16-byte binary string expression:\n\nAttempting to compare INET6 to an expression of any other data type returns an\nerror.\n\nMixing INET6 Values for Result\n------------------------------\n\nAn INET6 expression can be mixed for result (i.e. UNION, CASE..THEN, COALESCE\netc) with:\n\n* another INET6 expression. The resulting data type is INET6.\n* a character string in text (short or long) address representation. The\nresult data type is INET6. The character string counterpart is automatically\nconverted to INET6. If the string format is not understood, it\'s converted\nwith a warning to either NULL or to \'::\', depending on the NULL-ability of the\nresult.\n* a 16-byte binary string. The resulting data type is INET6. The binary string\ncounterpart is automatically converted to INET6. If the length of the binary\nstring is not equal to 16, it\'s converted with a warning to NULL or to \'::\'\ndepending on the NULL-ability of the result.\n\nAttempts to mix INET6 for result with other data types will return an error.\n\nMixing INET6 with other data types for LEAST and GREATEST, when mixing for\ncomparison and mixing for result are involved at the same time, uses the same\nrules with mixing for result, described in the previous paragraphs.\n\nFunctions and Operators\n-----------------------\n\n* HEX() with an INET6 argument returns a hexadecimal representation of the\nunderlying 16-byte binary string\n* Arithmetic operators (+,-,*,/,MOD,DIV) are not supported for INET6. This may\nchange in the future.\n* The INET6_ATON function now understands INET6 values as an argument\n* The prototypes of the IS_IPV4_COMPAT and IS_IPV4_MAPPED functions have\nchanged from a BINARY(16) to a INET6,\n* When the argument for these two functions is not INET6, automatic implicit\nCAST to INET6 is applied. As a consequence, both functions now understand\narguments in both text representation and binary(16) representation. Before\nMariaDB 10.5.0, these functions understood only binary(16) representation.\n\nPrepared Statement Parameters\n-----------------------------\n\nINET6 understands both text and binary(16) address representation in prepared\nstatement parameters (PREPARE..EXECUTE and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements).\n\nMigration between BINARY(16) and INET6\n---------------------------------------\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.5.0, you may have used BINARY(16) as a storage for IPv6\ninternet addresses, in combination with INET6_ATON and INET6_NTOA to\nrespectively insert and retrieve data.\n\nFrom 10.5, you can ALTER BINARY(16) columns storing IPv6 addresses to INET6.\nAfter such an alter, there is no a need to use INET6_ATON() and INET6_NTOA().\nAddresses can be inserted and retrieved directly.\n\nIt is also possible to convert INET6 columns to BINARY(16) and continue using\nthe data in combination with INET6_NTOA() and INET6_ATON().\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INET6);\n\nInserting

added in MariaDB 10.2.7. This was done to make it possible\nto use JSON columns in statement based replication from MySQL to MariaDB and\nto make it possible for MariaDB to read mysqldumps from MySQL.\n\nJSON is an alias for LONGTEXT introduced for compatibility reasons with\nMySQL\'s JSON data type. MariaDB implements this as a LONGTEXT rather, as the\nJSON data type contradicts the SQL standard, and MariaDB\'s benchmarks indicate\nthat performance is at least equivalent.\n\nIn order to ensure that a a valid json document is inserted, the JSON_VALID\nfunction can be used as a CHECK constraint. This constraint is automatically\nincluded for types using the JSON alias from MariaDB 10.4.3.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (j JSON);\n\nDESC t;\n+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| j | longtext | YES | | NULL | |\n+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n\nWith validation:\n\nCREATE TABLE t2 (\n j JSON\n CHECK (JSON_VALID(j))\n);\n\nINSERT INTO t2 VALUES (\'invalid\');\nERROR 4025 (23000): CONSTRAINT `j` failed for `test`.`t2`\n\nINSERT INTO t2 VALUES (\'{\"id\": 1, \"name\": \"Monty\"}\');\nQuery OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)\n\nReplicating JSON Data Between MySQL and MariaDB\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nThe JSON type in MySQL stores the JSON object in a compact form, not as\nLONGTEXT as in MariaDB. This means that row based replication will not work\nfor JSON types from MySQL to MariaDB.\n\nThere are a a few different ways to solve this:\n\n* Use statement based replication.\n* Change the JSON column to type TEXT in MySQL\n* If you must use row-based replication and cannot change the MySQL master\nfrom JSON to TEXT, you can try to introduce an intermediate MySQL slave and\nchange the column type from JSON to TEXT on it. Then you replicate from this\nintermediate slave to MariaDB.\n\nConverting a MySQL TABLE with JSON Fields to MariaDB\n----------------------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB can\'t directly access MySQL\'s JSON format.\n\nThere are a a few different ways to move the table to MariaDB:\n\n* From MariaDB 10.5.7, see the you can use the mysql_json plugin. See Making\nMariaDB understand MySQL JSON.\n* Change the JSON column to type TEXT in MySQL. After this, MariaDB can\ndirectly use the table without any need for a dump and restore.\n* Use mariadb-dump/mysqldump to copy the table.\n\nDifferences Between MySQL JSON Strings and MariaDB JSON Strings\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n\n* In MySQL, JSON is an object and is compared according to json values. In\nMariaDB JSON strings are normal strings and compared as strings. One exception\nis when using JSON_EXTRACT() in which case strings are unescaped before\ncomparison.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/json-data-type/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/json-data-type/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (276,23,'MEDIUMBLOB','Syntax\n------\n\nMEDIUMBLOB\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nA BLOB column with a maximum length of 16,777,215 (224 - 1) bytes.

The\neffective maximum length is less if the value contains multi-byte characters.\nEach TEXT value is stored using a two-byte length prefix that indicates the\nnumber of bytes in the value. If you need a bigger storage, consider using\nMEDIUMTEXT instead.\n\nAn optional length M can be given for this type. If this is done, MariaDB\ncreates the column as the smallest TEXT type large enough to hold values M\ncharacters long.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.2, all MariaDB collations were of type PADSPACE, meaning\nthat TEXT (as well as VARCHAR and CHAR values) are compared without regard for\ntrailing spaces. This does not apply to the LIKE pattern-matching operator,\nwhich takes into account trailing spaces.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.2.1, BLOB and TEXT columns could not be assigned a DEFAULT\nvalue. This restriction was lifted in MariaDB 10.2.1.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nTrailing spaces:\n\nCREATE TABLE strtest (d TEXT(10));\nINSERT INTO strtest VALUES(\'Maria \');\n\nSELECT d=\'Maria\',d=\'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+-----------+--------------+\n| d=\'Maria\' | d=\'Maria \' |\n+-----------+--------------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n+-----------+--------------+\n\nSELECT d LIKE \'Maria\',d LIKE \'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| d LIKE \'Maria\' | d LIKE \'Maria \' |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| 0 | 1 |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n\nIndexing\n--------\n\nTEXT columns can only be indexed over a specified length. This means that they\ncannot be used as the primary key of a table norm until MariaDB 10.4, can a\nunique index be created on them.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nStarting with MariaDB 10.4, a unique index can be created on a TEXT column.\n\nInternally, this uses hash indexing to quickly check the values and if a hash\ncollision is found, the actual stored values are compared in order to retain\nthe uniqueness.\n\nDifference between VARCHAR and TEXT\n-----------------------------------\n\n* VARCHAR columns can be fully indexed. TEXT columns can only be indexed over\na specified length.\n* Using TEXT or BLOB in a SELECT query that uses temporary tables for storing\nintermediate results will force the temporary table to be disk based (using\nthe Aria storage engine instead of the memory storage engine, which is a bit\nslower. This is not that bad as the Aria storage engine caches the rows in\nmemory. To get the benefit of this, one should ensure that the\naria_pagecache_buffer_size variable is big enough to hold most of the row and\nindex data for temporary tables.\n\nFor Storage Engine Developers\n-----------------------------\n\n* Internally the full length of the VARCHAR column is allocated inside each\nTABLE objects record[] structure. As there are three such buffers, each open\ntable will allocate 3 times max-length-to-store-varchar bytes of memory.\n* TEXT and BLOB columns are stored with a pointer (4 or 8 bytes) + a 1-4 bytes\nlength.

M represents the maximum column length in\ncharacters. The range of M is 0 to 65,532. The effective maximum length of a\nVARCHAR is subject to the maximum row size and the character set used. For\nexample, utf8 characters can require up to three bytes per character, so a\nVARCHAR column that uses the utf8 character set can be declared to be a\nmaximum of 21,844 characters.\n\nNote: For the ColumnStore engine, M represents the maximum column length in\nbytes.\n\nMariaDB stores VARCHAR values as a one-byte or two-byte length prefix plus\ndata. The length prefix indicates the number of bytes in the value. A VARCHAR\ncolumn uses one length byte if values require no more than 255 bytes, two\nlength bytes if values may require more than 255 bytes.\n\nMariaDB follows the standard SQL specification, and does not remove trailing\nspaces from VARCHAR values.\n\nVARCHAR(0) columns can contain 2 values: an empty string or NULL. Such columns\ncannot be part of an index. The CONNECT storage engine does not support\nVARCHAR(0).\n\nVARCHAR is shorthand for CHARACTER VARYING. NATIONAL VARCHAR is the standard\nSQL way to define that a VARCHAR column should use some predefined character\nset. MariaDB uses utf8 as this predefined character set, as does MySQL 4.1 and\nup. NVARCHAR is shorthand for NATIONAL VARCHAR.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.2, all MariaDB collations were of type PADSPACE, meaning\nthat VARCHAR (as well as CHAR and TEXT values) are compared without regard for\ntrailing spaces. This does not apply to the LIKE pattern-matching operator,\nwhich takes into account trailing spaces. From MariaDB 10.2, a number of NO\nPAD collations are available.\n\nIf a unique index consists of a column where trailing pad characters are\nstripped or ignored, inserts into that column where values differ only by the\nnumber of trailing pad characters will result in a duplicate-key error.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nThe following are equivalent:\n\nVARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET utf8\nNATIONAL VARCHAR(30)\nNVARCHAR(30)\nNCHAR VARCHAR(30)\nNATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING(30)\nNATIONAL CHAR VARYING(30)\n\nTrailing spaces:\n\nCREATE TABLE strtest (v VARCHAR(10));\nINSERT INTO strtest VALUES(\'Maria \');\n\nSELECT v=\'Maria\',v=\'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+-----------+--------------+\n| v=\'Maria\' | v=\'Maria \' |\n+-----------+--------------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n+-----------+--------------+\n\nSELECT v LIKE \'Maria\',v LIKE \'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| v LIKE \'Maria\' | v LIKE \'Maria \' |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| 0 | 1 |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n\nTruncation\n----------\n\n* Depending on whether or not strict sql mode is set, you will either get a\nwarning or an error if you try to insert a string that is too long into a\nVARCHAR column. If the extra characters are spaces, the spaces that can\'t fit\nwill be removed and you will always get a warning, regardless of the sql mode\nsetting.\n\nDifference Between VARCHAR and TEXT\n-----------------------------------\n\n* VARCHAR columns can be fully indexed. TEXT columns can only be indexed over\na specified length.\n* Using TEXT or BLOB in a SELECT query that uses temporary tables for storing\nintermediate results will force the temporary table to be disk based (using\nthe Aria storage engine instead of the memory storage engine, which is a bit\nslower. This is not that bad as the Aria storage engine caches the rows in\nmemory. To get the benefit of this, one should ensure that the\naria_pagecache_buffer_size variable is big enough to hold most of the row and\nindex data for temporary tables.\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nIn Oracle mode from MariaDB 10.3, VARCHAR2 is a synonym.\n\nFor Storage Engine Developers\n-----------------------------\n\n* Internally the full length of the VARCHAR column is allocated inside each\nTABLE objects record[] structure. As there are three such buffers, each open\ntable will allocate 3 times max-length-to-store-varchar bytes of memory.\n* TEXT and BLOB columns are stored with a pointer (4 or 8 bytes) + a 1-4 bytes\nlength. The TEXT data is only stored once. This means that internally TEXT\nuses less memory for each open table but instead has the additional overhead\nthat each TEXT object needs to be allocated and freed for each row access\n(with some caching in between).\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/varchar/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/varchar/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (286,23,'SET Data Type','Syntax\n------\n\nSET(\'value1\',\'value2\',...)

For more information, see Internal Format, below.\n\nFor storage requirements, see Data Type Storage Requirements.\n\nSupported Values\n----------------\n\nMariaDB stores values that use the DATETIME data type in a format that\nsupports values between 1000-01-01 00:00:00.000000 and 9999-12-31\n23:59:59.999999.\n\nMariaDB can also store microseconds with a precision between 0 and 6.

Similarly, individual components of\na date can be set to 0 (for example: \'2015-00-12\'), unless NO_ZERO_IN_DATE is\nspecified in the SQL_MODE. In many cases, the result of en expression\ninvolving a zero-date, or a date with zero-parts, is NULL.

See MDEV-11829 for more information.\n\nMariaDB validates DATETIME literals against the session\'s time zone. For\nexample, if a specific time range never occurred in a specific time zone due\nto daylight savings time, then DATETIME values within that range would be\ninvalid for that time zone.\n\nFor example, daylight savings time started on March 10, 2019 in the US, so the\ntime range between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 is invalid for that day in US time\nzones:\n\nSET time_zone = \'America/New_York\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.000 sec)\n\nINSERT INTO timestamp_test VALUES (\'2019-03-10 02:55:05\');\nERROR 1292 (22007): Incorrect datetime value: \'2019-03-10 02:55:05\' for column\n`db1`.`timestamp_test`.`timestamp_test` at row 1\n\nBut that same time range is fine in other time zones, such as Coordinated\nUniversal Time (UTC). For example:\n\nSET time_zone = \'UTC\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.000 sec)\n\nINSERT INTO timestamp_test VALUES (\'2019-03-10 02:55:05\');\nQuery OK, 1 row affected (0.002 sec)\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nIn Oracle mode from MariaDB 10.3, DATE with a time portion is a synonym for\nDATETIME.

This means that the TIMESTAMP data\ntype can hold values between \'1970-01-01 00:00:01\' (UTC) and \'2038-01-19\n03:14:07\' (UTC).\n\nMariaDB can also store microseconds with a precision between 0 and 6. If no\nmicrosecond precision is specified, then 0 is used by default.\n\nAutomatic Values\n----------------\n\nMariaDB has special behavior for the first column that uses the TIMESTAMP data\ntype in a specific table. For the first column that uses the TIMESTAMP data\ntype in a specific table, MariaDB automatically assigns the following\nproperties to the column:\n\n* DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP\n* ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP\n\nThis means that if the column is not explicitly assigned a value in an INSERT\nor UPDATE query, then MariaDB will automatically initialize the column\'s value\nwith the current date and time.\n\nThis automatic initialization for INSERT and UPDATE queries can also be\nexplicitly enabled for a column that uses the TIMESTAMP data type by\nspecifying the DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP\nclauses for the column. In these clauses, any synonym of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is\naccepted, including CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), NOW(), LOCALTIME, LOCALTIME(),\nLOCALTIMESTAMP, and LOCALTIMESTAMP().\n\nThis automatic initialization for INSERT queries can also be explicitly\ndisabled for a column that uses the TIMESTAMP data type by specifying a\nconstant DEFAULT value. For example, DEFAULT 0.\n\nThis automatic initialization for UPDATE queries can also be explicitly\ndisabled for a column that uses the TIMESTAMP data type by specifying a\nDEFAULT clause for the column, but no ON UPDATE clause. If a DEFAULT clause is\nexplicitly specified for a column that uses the TIMESTAMP data type, but an ON\nUPDATE clause is not specified for the column, then the timestamp value will\nnot automatically change when an UPDATE statement is executed.\n\nMariaDB also has special behavior if NULL is assigned to column that uses the\nTIMESTAMP data type. If the column is assigned the NULL value in an INSERT or\nUPDATE query, then MariaDB will automatically initialize the column\'s value\nwith the current date and time. For details, see NULL values in MariaDB.\n\nThis automatic initialization for NULL values can also be explicitly disabled\nfor a column that uses the TIMESTAMP data type by specifying the NULL\nattribute for the column. In this case, if the column\'s value is set to NULL,\nthen the column\'s value will actually be set to NULL.\n\nTime Zones\n----------\n\nIf a column uses the TIMESTAMP data type, then any inserted values are\nconverted from the session\'s time zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)\nwhen stored, and converted back to the session\'s time zone when retrieved.\n\nMariaDB does not currently store any time zone identifier with the value of\nthe TIMESTAMP data type. See MDEV-10018 for more information.\n\nMariaDB does not currently support time zone literals that contain time zone\nidentifiers. See MDEV-11829 for more information.\n\nLimitations\n-----------\n\n* Because the TIMESTAMP value is stored as Epoch Seconds, the timestamp value\n\'1970-01-01 00:00:00\' (UTC) is reserved since the second #0 is used to\nrepresent \'0000-00-00 00:00:00\'.\n* In MariaDB 5.5 and before there could only be one TIMESTAMP column per table\nthat had CURRENT_TIMESTAMP defined as its default value.

This change may be needed if you want to export the\ntable\'s tablespace and import it onto a server that has\nmysql56_temporal_format=ON set (see MDEV-15225).\n\nFor instance, if you have a TIMESTAMP column in your table:\n\nSHOW VARIABLES LIKE \'mysql56_temporal_format\';\n\n+-------------------------+-------+\n| Variable_name | Value |\n+-------------------------+-------+\n| mysql56_temporal_format | ON |\n+-------------------------+-------+\n\nALTER TABLE example_table MODIFY ts_col TIMESTAMP;\n\nWhen MariaDB executes the ALTER TABLE statement, it converts the data from the\nolder temporal format to the newer one.\n\nIn the event that you have several tables and columns using temporal data\ntypes that you want to switch over to the new format, make sure the system\nvariable is enabled, then perform a dump and restore using mysqldump. The\ncolumns using relevant temporal data types are restored using the new temporal\nformat.\n\nStarting from MariaDB 10.5.1 columns with old temporal formats are marked with\na /* mariadb-5.3 */ comment in the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE, SHOW COLUMNS,\nDESCRIBE statements, as well as in the COLUMN_TYPE column of the\nINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS Table.\n\nSHOW CREATE TABLE mariadb5312_timestamp\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\n Table: mariadb5312_timestamp\nCreate Table: CREATE TABLE `mariadb5312_timestamp` (\n `ts0` timestamp /* mariadb-5.3 */ NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON\nUPDATE current_timestamp(),\n `ts6` timestamp(6) /* mariadb-5.3 */ NOT NULL DEFAULT \'0000-00-00\n00:00:00.000000\'\n) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1\n\nNote: Prior to MySQL 4.1 a different format for the TIMESTAMP datatype was\nused.

When you insert a new record to the table (or upon adding an\nAUTO_INCREMENT attribute with the ALTER TABLE statement), and the\nauto_increment field is NULL or DEFAULT (in the case of an INSERT), the value\nwill automatically be incremented. This also applies to 0, unless the\nNO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO SQL_MODE is enabled.\n\nAUTO_INCREMENT columns start from 1 by default. The automatically generated\nvalue can never be lower than 0.\n\nEach table can have only one AUTO_INCREMENT column. It must defined as a key\n(not necessarily the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE key). In some storage engines\n(including the default InnoDB), if the key consists of multiple columns, the\nAUTO_INCREMENT column must be the first column. Storage engines that permit\nthe column to be placed elsewhere are Aria, MyISAM, MERGE, Spider, TokuDB,\nBLACKHOLE, FederatedX and Federated.\n\nCREATE TABLE animals (\n id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,\n name CHAR(30) NOT NULL,\n PRIMARY KEY (id)\n );\n\nINSERT INTO animals (name) VALUES\n (\'dog\'),(\'cat\'),(\'penguin\'),\n (\'fox\'),(\'whale\'),(\'ostrich\');\n\nSELECT * FROM animals;\n+----+---------+\n| id | name |\n+----+---------+\n| 1 | dog |\n| 2 | cat |\n| 3 | penguin |\n| 4 | fox |\n| 5 | whale |\n| 6 | ostrich |\n+----+---------+\n\nSERIAL is an alias for BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT UNIQUE.\n\nCREATE TABLE t (id SERIAL, c CHAR(1)) ENGINE=InnoDB;\n\nSHOW CREATE TABLE t \\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\n Table: t\nCreate Table: CREATE TABLE `t` (\n `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,\n `c` char(1) DEFAULT NULL,\n UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)\n) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1\n\nSetting or Changing the Auto_Increment Value\n--------------------------------------------\n\nYou can use an ALTER TABLE statement to assign a new value to the\nauto_increment table option, or set the insert_id server system variable to\nchange the next AUTO_INCREMENT value inserted by the current session.\n\nLAST_INSERT_ID() can be used to see the last AUTO_INCREMENT value inserted by\nthe current session.\n\nALTER TABLE animals AUTO_INCREMENT=8;\n\nINSERT INTO animals (name) VALUES (\'aardvark\');\n\nSELECT * FROM animals;\n+----+-----------+\n| id | name |\n+----+-----------+\n| 1 | dog |\n| 2 | cat |\n| 3 | penguin |\n| 4 | fox |\n| 5 | whale |\n| 6 | ostrich |\n| 8 | aardvark |\n+----+-----------+\n\nSET insert_id=12;\n\nINSERT INTO animals (name) VALUES (\'gorilla\');\n\nSELECT * FROM animals;\n+----+-----------+\n| id | name |\n+----+-----------+\n| 1 | dog |\n| 2 | cat |\n| 3 | penguin |\n| 4 | fox |\n| 5 | whale |\n| 6 | ostrich |\n| 8 | aardvark |\n| 12 | gorilla |\n+----+-----------+\n\nInnoDB\n------\n\nUntil MariaDB 10.2.3, InnoDB used an auto-increment counter that is stored in\nmemory. When the server restarts, the counter is re-initialized to the highest\nvalue used in the table, which cancels the effects of any AUTO_INCREMENT = N\noption in the table statements.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.2.4, this restriction has been lifted and AUTO_INCREMENT is\npersistent.\n\nSee also AUTO_INCREMENT Handling in InnoDB.\n\nSetting Explicit Values\n-----------------------\n\nIt is possible to specify a value for an AUTO_INCREMENT column. If the key is\nprimary or unique, the value must not already exist in the key.\n\nIf the new value is higher than the current maximum value, the AUTO_INCREMENT\nvalue is updated, so the next value will be higher. If the new value is lower\nthan the current maximum value, the AUTO_INCREMENT value remains unchanged.\n\nThe following example demonstrates these behaviors:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (id INTEGER UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY) ENGINE =\nInnoDB;\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (NULL);\nSELECT id FROM t;\n+----+\n| id |\n+----+\n| 1 |\n+----+\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (10); -- higher value\nSELECT id FROM t;\n+----+\n| id |\n+----+\n| 1 |\n| 10 |\n+----+\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (2); -- lower value\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (NULL); -- auto value\nSELECT id FROM t;\n+----+\n| id |\n+----+\n| 1 |\n| 2 |\n| 10 |\n| 11 |\n+----+\n\nThe ARCHIVE storage engine does not allow to insert a value that is lower than\nthe current maximum.\n\nMissing Values\n--------------\n\nAn AUTO_INCREMENT column normally has missing values. This happens because if\na row is deleted, or an AUTO_INCREMENT value is explicitly updated, old values\nare never re-used. The REPLACE statement also deletes a row, and its value is\nwasted. With InnoDB, values can be reserved by a transaction; but if the\ntransaction fails (for example, because of a ROLLBACK) the reserved value will\nbe lost.\n\nThus AUTO_INCREMENT values can be used to sort results in a chronological\norder, but not to create a numeric sequence.\n\nReplication\n-----------\n\nTo make master-master or Galera safe to use AUTO_INCREMENT one should use the\nsystem variables auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset to\ngenerate unique values for each server.\n\nCHECK Constraints, DEFAULT Values and Virtual Columns\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.6\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.2.6 auto_increment columns are no longer permitted in CHECK\nconstraints, DEFAULT value expressions and virtual columns.

Inside stored\nprocedures or within an anonymous block, BEGIN alone starts a new anonymous\nblock.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nBEGIN ... END syntax is used for writing compound statements. A compound\nstatement can contain multiple statements, enclosed by the BEGIN and END\nkeywords. statement_list represents a list of one or more statements, each\nterminated by a semicolon (i.e., ;) statement delimiter. statement_list is\noptional, which means that the empty compound statement (BEGIN END) is legal.\n\nNote that END will perform a commit. If you are running in autocommit mode,\nevery statement will be committed separately. If you are not running in\nautocommit mode, you must execute a COMMIT or ROLLBACK after END to get the\ndatabase up to date.\n\nUse of multiple statements requires that a client is able to send statement\nstrings containing the ; statement delimiter. This is handled in the mysql\ncommand-line client with the DELIMITER command. Changing the ;\nend-of-statement delimiter (for example, to //) allows ; to be used in a\nprogram body.\n\nA compound statement within a stored program can be labeled. end_label cannot\nbe given unless begin_label also is present. If both are present, they must be\nthe same.\n\nBEGIN ... END constructs can be nested. Each block can define its own\nvariables, a CONDITION, a HANDLER and a CURSOR, which don\'t exist in the outer\nblocks. The most local declarations override the outer objects which use the\nsame name (see example below).\n\nThe declarations order is the following:\n\n* DECLARE local variables;\n* DECLARE CONDITIONs;\n* DECLARE CURSORs;\n* DECLARE HANDLERs;\n\nNote that DECLARE HANDLER contains another BEGIN ... END construct.\n\nHere is an example of a very simple, anonymous block:\n\nBEGIN NOT ATOMIC\nSET @a=1;\nCREATE TABLE test.t1(a INT);\nEND|\n\nBelow is an example of nested blocks in a stored procedure:\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE t( )\nBEGIN\n DECLARE x TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 1;\n BEGIN\n DECLARE x CHAR(2) DEFAULT \'02\';\n DECLARE y TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 10;\n SELECT x, y;\n END;\n SELECT x;\nEND;\n\nIn this example, a TINYINT variable, x is declared in the outter block. But in\nthe inner block x is re-declared as a CHAR and an y variable is declared. The\ninner SELECT shows the \"new\" value of x, and the value of y. But when x is\nselected in the outer block, the \"old\" value is returned. The final SELECT\ndoesn\'t try to read y, because it doesn\'t exist in that context.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/begin-end/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/begin-end/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (295,24,'CASE Statement','Syntax\n------\n\nCASE case_value\n WHEN when_value THEN statement_list\n [WHEN when_value THEN statement_list] ...\n [ELSE statement_list]\nEND CASE\n\nOr:\n\nCASE\n WHEN search_condition THEN statement_list\n [WHEN search_condition THEN statement_list] ...\n [ELSE statement_list]\nEND CASE\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe text on this page describes the CASE statement for stored programs.

For an EXIT handler, execution terminates\nfor the BEGIN ... END compound statement in which the handler is declared.\n(This is true even if the condition occurs in an inner block.) The UNDO\nhandler type statement is not supported.\n\nIf a condition occurs for which no handler has been declared, the default\naction is EXIT.\n\nA condition_value for DECLARE ... HANDLER can be any of the following values:\n\n* An SQLSTATE value (a 5-character string literal) or a MariaDB error\ncode (a number). You should not use SQLSTATE value \'00000\' or MariaDB\nerror code 0, because those indicate sucess rather than an error\ncondition. For a list of SQLSTATE values and MariaDB error codes, see\nMariaDB Error Codes.\n* A condition name previously specified with DECLARE ... CONDITION. It must be\nin the same stored program. See DECLARE CONDITION.\n* SQLWARNING is shorthand for the class of SQLSTATE values that begin\nwith \'01\'.\n* NOT FOUND is shorthand for the class of SQLSTATE values that begin\nwith \'02\'. This is relevant only the context of cursors and is used to\ncontrol what happens when a cursor reaches the end of a data set. If\nno more rows are available, a No Data condition occurs with SQLSTATE\nvalue 02000. To detect this condition, you can set up a handler for it\n(or for a NOT FOUND condition). An example is shown in Cursor Overview. This\ncondition also occurs for SELECT ... INTO var_list statements that retrieve no\nrows.\n* SQLEXCEPTION is shorthand for the class of SQLSTATE values that do\nnot begin with \'00\', \'01\', or \'02\'.\n\nWhen an error raises, in some cases it could be handled by multiple HANDLERs.\nFor example, there may be an handler for 1050 error, a separate handler for\nthe 42S01 SQLSTATE, and another separate handler for the SQLEXCEPTION class:\nin theory all occurrences of HANDLER may catch the 1050 error, but MariaDB\nchooses the HANDLER with the highest precedence. Here are the precedence rules:\n\n* Handlers which refer to an error code have the highest precedence.\n* Handlers which refer to a SQLSTATE come next.\n* Handlers which refer to an error class have the lowest precedence.\n\nIn some cases, a statement could produce multiple errors. If this happens, in\nsome cases multiple handlers could have the highest precedence. In such cases,\nthe choice of the handler is indeterminate.\n\nNote that if an error occurs within a CONTINUE HANDLER block, it can be\nhandled by another HANDLER. However, a HANDLER which is already in the stack\n(that is, it has been called to handle an error and its execution didn\'t\nfinish yet) cannot handle new errors—this prevents endless loops. For example,\nsuppose that a stored procedure contains a CONTINUE HANDLER for SQLWARNING and\nanother CONTINUE HANDLER for NOT FOUND. At some point, a NOT FOUND error\noccurs, and the execution enters the NOT FOUND HANDLER. But within that\nhandler, a warning occurs, and the execution enters the SQLWARNING HANDLER. If\nanother NOT FOUND error occurs, it cannot be handled again by the NOT FOUND\nHANDLER, because its execution is not finished.\n\nWhen a DECLARE HANDLER block can handle more than one error condition, it may\nbe useful to know which errors occurred. To do so, you can use the GET\nDIAGNOSTICS statement.\n\nAn error that is handled by a DECLARE HANDLER construct can be issued again\nusing the RESIGNAL statement.\n\nBelow is an example using DECLARE HANDLER:\n\nCREATE TABLE test.t (s1 INT, PRIMARY KEY (s1));\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE handlerdemo ( )\n BEGIN\n DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE \'23000\' SET @x2 = 1;\n SET @x = 1;\n INSERT INTO test.t VALUES (1);\n SET @x = 2;\n INSERT INTO test.t VALUES (1);\n SET @x = 3;\n END;\n //\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nCALL handlerdemo( );\n\nSELECT @x;\n+------+\n| @x |\n+------+\n| 3 |\n+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-handler/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-handler/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (298,24,'DECLARE Variable','Syntax\n------\n\nDECLARE var_name [, var_name] ... [[ROW] TYPE OF]] type [DEFAULT value]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis statement is used to declare local variables within stored programs. To\nprovide a default value for the variable, include a DEFAULT clause. The value\ncan be specified as an expression (even subqueries are permitted); it need not\nbe a constant. If the DEFAULT clause is missing, the initial value is NULL.\n\nLocal variables are treated like stored routine parameters with respect to\ndata type and overflow checking. See CREATE PROCEDURE.\n\nLocal variables must be declared before CONDITIONs, CURSORs and HANDLERs.\n\nLocal variable names are not case sensitive.\n\nThe scope of a local variable is within the BEGIN ... END block where it is\ndeclared. The variable can be referred to in blocks nested within the\ndeclaring block, except those blocks that declare a variable with the same\nname.\n\nTYPE OF / ROW TYPE OF\n---------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nTYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF anchored data types for stored routines were\nintroduced in MariaDB 10.3.\n\nAnchored data types allow a data type to be defined based on another object,\nsuch as a table row, rather than specifically set in the declaration. If the\nanchor object changes, so will the anchored data type. This can lead to\nroutines being easier to maintain, so that if the data type in the table is\nchanged, it will automatically be changed in the routine as well.\n\nVariables declared with ROW TYPE OF will have the same features as implicit\nROW variables. It is not possible to use ROW TYPE OF variables in a LIMIT\nclause.\n\nThe real data type of TYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF table_name will become known at\nthe very beginning of the stored routine call. ALTER TABLE or DROP TABLE\nstatements performed inside the current routine on the tables that appear in\nanchors won\'t affect the data type of the anchored variables, even if the\nvariable is declared after an ALTER TABLE or DROP TABLE statement.\n\nThe real data type of a ROW TYPE OF cursor_name variable will become known\nwhen execution enters into the block where the variable is declared. Data type\ninstantiation will happen only once. In a cursor ROW TYPE OF variable that is\ndeclared inside a loop, its data type will become known on the very first\niteration and won\'t change on further loop iterations.\n\nThe tables referenced in TYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF declarations will be checked\nfor existence at the beginning of the stored routine call. CREATE PROCEDURE or\nCREATE FUNCTION will not check the referenced tables for existence.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nTYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF from MariaDB 10.3:\n\nDECLARE tmp TYPE OF t1.a; -- Get the data type from the column {{a}} in the\ntable {{t1}}\n\nDECLARE rec1 ROW TYPE OF t1; -- Get the row data type from the table {{t1}}\n\nDECLARE rec2 ROW TYPE OF cur1; -- Get the row data type from the cursor\n{{cur1}}\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-variable/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-variable/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (299,24,'FOR','MariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nFOR loops were introduced in MariaDB 10.3.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nInteger range FOR loop:\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR var_name IN [ REVERSE ] lower_bound .. upper_bound\nDO statement_list\nEND FOR [ end_label ]\n\nExplicit cursor FOR loop\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR record_name IN cursor_name [ ( cursor_actual_parameter_list)]\nDO statement_list\nEND FOR [ end_label ]\n\nExplicit cursor FOR loop (Oracle mode)\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR record_name IN cursor_name [ ( cursor_actual_parameter_list)]\nLOOP\n statement_list\nEND LOOP [ end_label ]\n\nImplicit cursor FOR loop\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR record_name IN ( select_statement )\nDO statement_list\nEND FOR [ end_label ]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nFOR loops allow code to be executed a fixed number of times.\n\nIn an integer range FOR loop, MariaDB will compare the lower bound and upper\nbound values, and assign the lower bound value to a counter.

This\nstatement can be used anywhere, but is generally useful when used inside a\nstored program. When the error is produced, it can be caught by a HANDLER. If\nnot, the current stored program, or the current statement, will terminate with\nthe specified error.\n\nSometimes an error HANDLER just needs to SIGNAL the same error it received,\noptionally with some changes. Usually the RESIGNAL statement is the most\nconvenient way to do this.\n\nerror_condition can be an SQLSTATE value or a named error condition defined\nvia DECLARE CONDITION. SQLSTATE must be a constant string consisting of five\ncharacters. These codes are standard to ODBC and ANSI SQL. For customized\nerrors, the recommended SQLSTATE is \'45000\'. For a list of SQLSTATE values\nused by MariaDB, see the MariaDB Error Codes page. The SQLSTATE can be read\nvia the API method mysql_sqlstate( ).\n\nTo specify error properties user-defined variables and local variables can be\nused, as well as character set conversions (but you can\'t set a collation).\n\nThe error properties, their type and their default values are explained in the\ndiagnostics area page.\n\nErrors\n------\n\nIf the SQLSTATE is not valid, the following error like this will be produced:\n\nERROR 1407 (42000): Bad SQLSTATE: \'123456\'\n\nIf a property is specified more than once, an error like this will be produced:\n\nERROR 1641 (42000): Duplicate condition information item \'MESSAGE_TEXT\'\n\nIf you specify a condition name which is not declared, an error like this will\nbe produced:\n\nERROR 1319 (42000): Undefined CONDITION: cond_name\n\nIf MYSQL_ERRNO is out of range, you will get an error like this:\n\nERROR 1231 (42000): Variable \'MYSQL_ERRNO\' can\'t be set to the value of \'0\'\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nHere\'s what happens if SIGNAL is used in the client to generate errors:\n\nSIGNAL SQLSTATE \'01000\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n\n+---------+------+------------------------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+---------+------+------------------------------------------+\n| Warning | 1642 | Unhandled user-defined warning condition |\n+---------+------+------------------------------------------+\n1 row in set (0.06 sec)\n\nSIGNAL SQLSTATE \'02000\';\nERROR 1643 (02000): Unhandled user-defined not found condition\n\nHow to specify MYSQL_ERRNO and MESSAGE_TEXT properties:\n\nSIGNAL SQLSTATE \'45000\' SET MYSQL_ERRNO=30001, MESSAGE_TEXT=\'H\nello, world!\';\n\nERROR 30001 (45000): Hello, world!\n\nThe following code shows how to use user variables, local variables and\ncharacter set conversion with SIGNAL:\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE test_error(x INT)\nBEGIN\n DECLARE errno SMALLINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 31001;\n SET @errmsg = \'Hello, world!\';\n IF x = 1 THEN\n SIGNAL SQLSTATE \'45000\' SET\n MYSQL_ERRNO = errno,\n MESSAGE_TEXT = @errmsg;\n ELSE\n SIGNAL SQLSTATE \'45000\' SET\n MYSQL_ERRNO = errno,\n MESSAGE_TEXT = _utf8\'Hello, world!\';\n END IF;\nEND;\n\nHow to use named error conditions:\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE test_error(n INT)\nBEGIN\n DECLARE `too_big` CONDITION FOR SQLSTATE \'45000\';\n IF n > 10 THEN\n SIGNAL `too_big`;\n END IF;\nEND;\n\nIn this example, we\'ll define a HANDLER for an error code.

Rows cannot be skipped, you cannot jump to\na specific row, and you cannot fetch rows in reverse order.\n* Read-only means that data cannot be updated through the cursor.\n* Asensitive means that the cursor points to the actual underlying data. This\nkind of cursor is quicker than the alternative, an insensitive cursor, as no\ndata is copied to a temporary table. However, changes to the data being used\nby the cursor will affect the cursor data.\n\nCursors are created with a DECLARE CURSOR statement and opened with an OPEN\nstatement. Rows are read with a FETCH statement before the cursor is finally\nclosed with a CLOSE statement.\n\nWhen FETCH is issued and there are no more rows to extract, the following\nerror is produced:\n\nERROR 1329 (02000): No data - zero rows fetched, selected, or processed\n\nTo avoid problems, a DECLARE HANDLER statement is generally used. The HANDLER\nshould handler the 1329 error, or the \'02000\' SQLSTATE, or the NOT FOUND error\nclass.\n\nOnly SELECT statements are allowed for cursors, and they cannot be contained\nin a variable - so, they cannot be composed dynamically. However, it is\npossible to SELECT from a view. Since the CREATE VIEW statement can be\nexecuted as a prepared statement, it is possible to dynamically create the\nview that is queried by the cursor.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.0, cursors can have parameters. Cursor parameters can appear\nin any part of the DECLARE CURSOR select_statement where a stored procedure\nvariable is allowed (select list, WHERE, HAVING, LIMIT etc). See DECLARE\nCURSOR and OPEN for syntax, and below for an example:\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE c1(i INT);\n\nCREATE TABLE c2(i INT);\n\nCREATE TABLE c3(i INT);\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE p1()\nBEGIN\n DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;\n DECLARE x, y INT;\n DECLARE cur1 CURSOR FOR SELECT i FROM test.c1;\n DECLARE cur2 CURSOR FOR SELECT i FROM test.c2;\n DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;\n\nOPEN cur1;\n OPEN cur2;\n\nread_loop: LOOP\n FETCH cur1 INTO x;\n FETCH cur2 INTO y;\n IF done THEN\n LEAVE read_loop;\n END IF;\n IF x < y THEN\n INSERT INTO test.c3 VALUES (x);\n ELSE\n INSERT INTO test.c3 VALUES (y);\n END IF;\n END LOOP;\n\nCLOSE cur1;\n CLOSE cur2;\nEND; //\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nINSERT INTO c1 VALUES(5),(50),(500);\n\nINSERT INTO c2 VALUES(10),(20),(30);\n\nCALL p1;\n\nSELECT * FROM c3;\n+------+\n| i |\n+------+\n| 5 |\n| 20 |\n| 30 |\n+------+\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.0\n\nDROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS p1;\nDROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b VARCHAR(10));\n\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,\'old\'),(2,\'old\'),(3,\'old\'),(4,\'old\'),(5,\'old\');\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE p1(min INT,max INT)\nBEGIN\n DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;\n DECLARE va INT;\n DECLARE cur CURSOR(pmin INT, pmax INT) FOR SELECT a FROM t1 WHERE a BETWEEN\npmin AND pmax;\n DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done=TRUE;\n OPEN cur(min,max);\n read_loop: LOOP\n FETCH cur INTO va;\n IF done THEN\n LEAVE read_loop;\n END IF;\n INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (va,\'new\');\n END LOOP;\n CLOSE cur;\nEND;\n//\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nCALL p1(2,4);\n\nSELECT * FROM t1;\n+------+------+\n| a | b |\n+------+------+\n| 1 | old |\n| 2 | old |\n| 3 | old |\n| 4 | old |\n| 5 | old |\n| 2 | new |\n| 3 | new |\n| 4 | new |\n+------+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/cursor-overview/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/cursor-overview/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (313,24,'DECLARE CURSOR','Syntax\n------\n\n<= MariaDB 10.2\n\nDECLARE cursor_name CURSOR FOR select_statement\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3\n\nDECLARE cursor_name CURSOR [(cursor_formal_parameter[,...])] FOR\nselect_statement\n\ncursor_formal_parameter:\n name type [collate clause]\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.8\n\nDECLARE cursor_name CURSOR [(cursor_formal_parameter[,...])] FOR\nselect_statement\n\ncursor_formal_parameter:\n [IN] name type [collate clause]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis statement declares a cursor.

It also\nworks for views. The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which\ncolumn names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be given to select rows\nusing more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.\n\nIf the data types differ from what you expect them to be based on a CREATE\nTABLE statement, note that MariaDB sometimes changes data types when you\ncreate or alter a table. The conditions under which this occurs are described\nin the Silent Column Changes article.\n\nThe FULL keyword causes the output to include the column collation and\ncomments, as well as the privileges you have for each column.\n\nYou can use db_name.tbl_name as an alternative to the tbl_name FROM db_name\nsyntax. In other words, these two statements are equivalent:\n\nSHOW COLUMNS FROM mytable FROM mydb;\nSHOW COLUMNS FROM mydb.mytable;\n\nSHOW COLUMNS displays the following values for each table column:\n\nField indicates the column name.\n\nType indicates the column data type.\n\nCollation indicates the collation for non-binary string columns, or NULL for\nother columns. This value is displayed only if you use the FULL keyword.\n\nThe Null field contains YES if NULL values can be stored in the column, NO if\nnot.\n\nThe Key field indicates whether the column is indexed:\n\n* If Key is empty, the column either is not indexed or is indexed only as a\n secondary column in a multiple-column, non-unique index.\n* If Key is PRI, the column is a PRIMARY KEY or\n is one of the columns in a multiple-column PRIMARY KEY.\n* If Key is UNI, the column is the first column of a unique-valued\n index that cannot contain NULL values.\n* If Key is MUL, multiple occurrences of a given value are allowed\n within the column. The column is the first column of a non-unique index or a\n unique-valued index that can contain NULL values.\n\nIf more than one of the Key values applies to a given column of a table, Key\ndisplays the one with the highest priority, in the order PRI, UNI, MUL.\n\nA UNIQUE index may be displayed as PRI if it cannot contain NULL values and\nthere is no PRIMARY KEY in the table. A UNIQUE index may display as MUL if\nseveral columns form a composite UNIQUE index; although the combination of the\ncolumns is unique, each column can still hold multiple occurrences of a given\nvalue.\n\nThe Default field indicates the default value that is assigned to the column.\n\nThe Extra field contains any additional information that is available about a\ngiven column.\n\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Value | Description |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| AUTO_INCREMENT | The column was created with the AUTO_INCREMENT |\n| | keyword. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| PERSISTENT | The column was created with the PERSISTENT |\n| | keyword.

This value is displayed only if\nyou use the FULL keyword.\n\nSHOW FIELDS is a synonym for SHOW COLUMNS. Also DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN can be\nused as shortcuts.\n\nYou can also list a table\'s columns with:\n\nmysqlshow db_name tbl_name\n\nSee the mysqlshow command for more details.\n\nThe DESCRIBE statement provides information similar to SHOW COLUMNS. The\ninformation_schema.COLUMNS table provides similar, but more complete,\ninformation.\n\nThe SHOW CREATE TABLE, SHOW TABLE STATUS, and SHOW INDEX statements also\nprovide information about tables.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSHOW COLUMNS FROM city;\n+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+\n| Id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |\n| Name | char(35) | NO | | | |\n| Country | char(3) | NO | UNI | | |\n| District | char(20) | YES | MUL | | |\n| Population | int(11) | NO | | 0 | |\n+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+\n\nSHOW COLUMNS FROM employees WHERE Type LIKE \'Varchar%\';\n+---------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+---------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| first_name | varchar(30) | NO | MUL | NULL | |\n| last_name | varchar(40) | NO | | NULL | |\n| position | varchar(25) | NO | | NULL | |\n| home_address | varchar(50) | NO | | NULL | |\n| home_phone | varchar(12) | NO | | NULL | |\n| employee_code | varchar(25) | NO | UNI | NULL | |\n+---------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/show-columns/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/show-columns/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (336,26,'SHOW CREATE TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nSHOW CREATE TABLE tbl_name\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nShows the CREATE TABLE statement that created the given table. The statement\nrequires the SELECT privilege for the table. This statement also works with\nviews and SEQUENCE.\n\nSHOW CREATE TABLE quotes table and column names according to the value of the\nsql_quote_show_create server system variable.\n\nCertain SQL_MODE values can result in parts of the original CREATE statement\nnot being included in the output. MariaDB-specific table options, column\noptions, and index options are not included in the output of this statement if\nthe NO_TABLE_OPTIONS, NO_FIELD_OPTIONS and NO_KEY_OPTIONS SQL_MODE flags are\nused. All MariaDB-specific table attributes are also not shown when a\nnon-MariaDB/MySQL emulation mode is used, which includes ANSI, DB2,\nPOSTGRESQL, MSSQL, MAXDB or ORACLE.\n\nInvalid table options, column options and index options are normally commented\nout (note, that it is possible to create a table with invalid options, by\naltering a table of a different engine, where these options were valid). To\nhave them uncommented, enable the IGNORE_BAD_TABLE_OPTIONS SQL_MODE. Remember\nthat replaying a CREATE TABLE statement with uncommented invalid options will\nfail with an error, unless the IGNORE_BAD_TABLE_OPTIONS SQL_MODE is in effect.\n\nNote that SHOW CREATE TABLE is not meant to provide metadata about a table. It\nprovides information about how the table was declared, but the real table\nstructure could differ a bit. For example, if an index has been declared as\nHASH, the CREATE TABLE statement returned by SHOW CREATE TABLE will declare\nthat index as HASH; however, it is possible that the index is in fact a BTREE,\nbecause the storage engine does not support HASH.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.1\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.2.1 permits TEXT and BLOB data types to be assigned a DEFAULT\nvalue. As a result, from MariaDB 10.2.1, SHOW CREATE TABLE will append a\nDEFAULT NULL to nullable TEXT or BLOB fields if no specific default is\nprovided.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.2\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.2.2, numbers are no longer quoted in the DEFAULT clause in\nSHOW CREATE statement.

This is unfortunate, and has\ncaused a number of bugs in EXPLAIN. (For example, see MDEV-326, MDEV-410, and\nlp:1013343. lp:992942 is not directly about EXPLAIN, but it also would not\nhave existed if MySQL didn\'t try to delete parts of a query plan in the middle\nof the query)\n\nSHOW EXPLAIN examines a running SELECT, and hence its output may be slightly\ndifferent from what EXPLAIN SELECT would produce. We did our best to make sure\nthat either the difference is negligible, or SHOW EXPLAIN\'s output is closer\nto reality than EXPLAIN\'s output.\n\nList of Recorded Differences\n----------------------------\n\n* SHOW EXPLAIN may have Extra=\'no matching row in const table\', where EXPLAIN\nwould produce Extra=\'Impossible WHERE ...\'\n* For queries with subqueries, SHOW EXPLAIN may print select_type==PRIMARY\nwhere regular EXPLAIN used to print select_type==SIMPLE, or vice versa.\n\nRequired Permissions\n--------------------\n\nRunning SHOW EXPLAIN requires the same permissions as running SHOW PROCESSLIST\nwould.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/show-explain/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/show-explain/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (339,26,'BACKUP STAGE','MariaDB starting with 10.4.1\n----------------------------\nThe BACKUP STAGE commands were introduced in MariaDB 10.4.1.\n\nThe BACKUP STAGE commands are a set of commands to make it possible to make an\nefficient external backup tool.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nBACKUP STAGE [START | FLUSH | BLOCK_DDL | BLOCK_COMMIT | END ]\n\nIn the following text, a transactional table means InnoDB or \"InnoDB-like\nengine with redo log that can lock redo purges and can be copied without locks\nby an outside process\".\n\nGoals with BACKUP STAGE Commands\n--------------------------------\n\n* To be able to do a majority of the backup with the minimum possible server\nlocks. Especially for transactional tables (InnoDB, MyRocks etc) there is only\nneed for a very short block of new commits while copying statistics and log\ntables.\n* DDL are only needed to be blocked for a very short duration of the backup\nwhile mariabackup is copying the tables affected by DDL during the initial\npart of the backup.\n* Most non transactional tables (those that are not in use) will be copied\nduring BACKUP STAGE START. The exceptions are system statistic and log tables\nthat are not blocked during the backup until BLOCK_COMMIT.\n* Should work efficiently with backup tools that use disk snapshots.\n* Should work as efficiently as possible for all table types that store data\non the local disks.\n* As little copying as possible under higher level stages/locks. For example,\n.frm (dictionary) and .trn (trigger) files should be copying while copying the\ntable data.\n\nBACKUP STAGE Commands\n---------------------\n\nBACKUP STAGE START\n------------------\n\nThe START stage is designed for the following tasks:\n\n* Blocks purge of redo files for storage engines that needs this (Aria)\n* Start logging of DDL commands into \'datadir\'/ddl.log. This may take a short\ntime as the command has to wait until there are no active DDL commands.\n\nBACKUP STAGE FLUSH\n------------------\n\nThe FLUSH stage is designed for the following tasks:\n\n* FLUSH all changes for inactive non-transactional tables, except for\nstatistics and log tables.\n* Close all tables that are not in use, to ensure they are marked as closed\nfor the backup.\n* BLOCK all new write locks for all non transactional tables (except\nstatistics and log tables). The command will not wait for tables that are in\nuse by read-only transactions.\n\nDDLs don\'t have to be blocked at this stage as they can\'t cause the table to\nbe in an inconsistent state. This is true also for non-transactional tables.\n\nBACKUP STAGE BLOCK_DDL\n----------------------\n\nThe BLOCK_DDL stage is designed for the following tasks:\n\n* Wait for all statements using write locked non-transactional tables to end.\n* Blocks CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE, and RENAME TABLE.\n* Blocks also start off a new ALTER TABLE and the final rename phase of ALTER\nTABLE. Running ALTER TABLES are not blocked.\n\nBACKUP STAGE BLOCK_COMMIT\n-------------------------\n\nThe BLOCK_COMMIT stage is designed for the following tasks:\n\n* Lock the binary log and commit/rollback to ensure that no changes are\ncommitted to any tables. If there are active commits or data to be copied to\nthe binary log this will be allowed to finish. Active transactions will not\naffect BLOCK_COMMIT.\n* This doesn\'t lock temporary tables that are not used by replication. However\nthese will be blocked when it\'s time to write to the binary log.\n* Lock system log tables and statistics tables, flush them and mark them\nclosed.\n\nWhen the BLOCK_COMMIT\'s stages return, this is the \'backup time\'. Everything\ncommitted will be in the backup and everything not committed will roll back.\n\nTransactional engines will continue to do changes to the redo log during the\nBLOCK COMMIT stage, but this is not important as all of these will roll back\nlater as the changes will not be committed.\n\nBACKUP STAGE END\n----------------\n\nThe END stage is designed for the following tasks:\n\n* End DDL logging\n* Free resources\n\nUsing BACKUP STAGE Commands with Backup Tools\n---------------------------------------------\n\nUsing BACKUP STAGE Commands with Mariabackup\n--------------------------------------------\n\nThe BACKUP STAGE commands are a set of commands to make it possible to make an\nefficient external backup tool. How Mariabackup uses these commands depends on\nwhether you are using the version that is bundled with MariaDB Community\nServer or the version that is bundled with MariaDB Enterprise Server. See\nMariabackup and BACKUP STAGE Commands for some examples on how Mariabackup\nuses these commands.\n\nIf you would like to use a version of Mariabackup that uses the BACKUP STAGE\ncommands in an efficient way, then one option is to use MariaDB Enterprise\nBackup that is bundled with MariaDB Enterprise Server.\n\nUsing BACKUP STAGE Commands with Storage Snapshots\n--------------------------------------------------\n\nThe BACKUP STAGE commands are a set of commands to make it possible to make an\nefficient external backup tool. These commands could even be used by tools\nthat perform backups by taking a snapshot of a file system, SAN, or some other\nkind of storage device. See Storage Snapshots and BACKUP STAGE Commands for\nsome examples on how to use each BACKUP STAGE command in an efficient way.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nBACKUP STAGE requires the RELOAD privilege.\n\nNotes\n-----\n\n* Only one connection can run BACKUP STAGE START. If a second connection\ntries, it will wait until the first one has executed BACKUP STAGE END.\n* If the user skips a BACKUP STAGE, then all intermediate backup stages will\nautomatically be run. This will allow us to add new stages within the BACKUP\nSTAGE hierarchy in the future with even more precise locks without causing\nproblems for tools using an earlier version of the BACKUP STAGE implementation.\n* One can use the max_statement_time or lock_wait_timeout system variables to\nensure that a BACKUP STAGE command doesn\'t block the server too long.\n* DDL logging will only be available in MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2 and\nlater.\n* A disconnect will automatically release backup stages.\n* There is no easy way to see which is the current stage.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/backup-stage/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/backup-stage/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (340,26,'BACKUP LOCK','MariaDB starting with 10.4.2\n----------------------------\nThe BACKUP LOCK command was introduced in MariaDB 10.4.2.\n\nBACKUP LOCK blocks a table from DDL statements. This is mainly intended to be\nused by tools like mariabackup that need to ensure there are no DDLs on a\ntable while the table files are opened. For example, for an Aria table that\nstores data in 3 files with extensions .frm, .MAI and .MAD. Normal read/write\noperations can continue as normal.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nTo lock a table:\n\nBACKUP LOCK table_name\n\nTo unlock a table:\n\nBACKUP UNLOCK\n\nUsage in a Backup Tool\n----------------------\n\nBACKUP LOCK [database.]table_name;\n - Open all files related to a table (for example, t.frm, t.MAI and t.MYD)\nBACKUP UNLOCK;\n- Copy data\n- Close files\n\nThis ensures that all files are from the same generation, that is created at\nthe same time by the MariaDB server. This works, because the open files will\npoint to the original table files which will not be affected if there is any\nALTER TABLE while copying the files.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nBACKUP LOCK requires the RELOAD privilege.\n\nNotes\n-----\n\n* The idea is that the BACKUP LOCK should be held for as short a time as\npossible by the backup tool. The time to take an uncontested lock is very\nshort! One can easily do 50,000 locks/unlocks per second on low end hardware.\n* One should use different connections for BACKUP STAGE commands and BACKUP\nLOCK.\n\nImplementation\n--------------\n\n* Internally, BACKUP LOCK is implemented by taking an MDLSHARED_HIGH_PRIO MDL\nlock on the table object, which protects the table from any DDL operations.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/backup-lock/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/backup-lock/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (341,26,'FLUSH','Syntax\n------\n\nFLUSH [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL]\n flush_option [, flush_option] ...\n\nor when flushing tables:\n\nFLUSH [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLES [table_list] [table_flush_option]\n\nwhere table_list is a list of tables separated by , (comma).\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe FLUSH statement clears or reloads various internal caches used by MariaDB.\nTo execute FLUSH, you must have the RELOAD privilege.

This frees up memory and file\ndescriptors. Normally this is not needed as the caches works on a FIFO bases,\nbut can be useful if the server seams to use up to much memory for some reason.\n\nThe purpose of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK \n-------------------------------------------\n\nFLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK is useful if you want to take a backup of some\ntables. When FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK returns, all write access to tables\nare blocked and all tables are marked as \'properly closed\' on disk. The tables\ncan still be used for read operations.\n\nThe purpose of FLUSH TABLES table_list\n--------------------------------------\n\nFLUSH TABLES table_list is useful if you want to copy a table object/files to\nor from the server. This command puts a lock that stops new users of the table\nand will wait until everyone has stopped using the table. The table is then\nremoved from the table definition and table cache.\n\nNote that it\'s up to the user to ensure that no one is accessing the table\nbetween FLUSH TABLES and the table is copied to or from the server. This can\nbe secured by using LOCK TABLES.\n','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/flush/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nIf there are any tables locked by the connection that is using FLUSH TABLES\nall the locked tables will be closed as part of the flush and reopened and\nrelocked before FLUSH TABLES returns. This allows one to copy the table after\nFLUSH TABLES returns without having any writes on the table. For now this\nworks works with most tables, except InnoDB as InnoDB may do background purges\non the table even while it\'s write locked.\n\nThe purpose of FLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nFLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK should work as FLUSH TABLES WITH READ\nLOCK, but only those tables that are listed will be properly closed. However\nin practice this works exactly like FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK as the FLUSH\ncommand has anyway to wait for all WRITE operations to end because we are\ndepending on a global read lock for this code. In the future we should\nconsider fixing this to instead use meta data locks.\n\nImplementation of FLUSH TABLES commands in MariaDB 10.4.8 and above\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nImplementation of FLUSH TABLES\n------------------------------\n\n* Free memory and file descriptors not in use\n\nImplementation of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK\n---------------------------------------------\n\n* Lock all tables read only for simple old style backup.\n* All background writes are suspended and tables are marked as closed.\n* No statement requiring table changes are allowed for any user until UNLOCK\nTABLES.\n\nInstead of using FLUSH TABLE WITH READ LOCK one should in most cases instead\nuse BACKUP STAGE BLOCK_COMMIT.\n\nImplementation of FLUSH TABLES table_list\n-----------------------------------------\n\n* Free memory and file descriptors for tables not in use from table list.\n* Lock given tables as read only.\n* Wait until all translations has ended that uses any of the given tables.\n* Wait until all background writes are suspended and tables are marked as\nclosed.\n\nImplementation of FLUSH TABLES table_list FOR EXPORT\n----------------------------------------------------\n\n* Free memory and file descriptors for tables not in use from table list\n* Lock given tables as read.\n* Wait until all background writes are suspended and tables are marked as\nclosed.\n* Check that all tables supports FOR EXPORT\n* No changes to these tables allowed until UNLOCK TABLES\n\nThis is basically the same behavior as in old MariaDB version if one first\nlock the tables, then do FLUSH TABLES. The tables will be copyable until\nUNLOCK TABLES.\n\nFLUSH SSL\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nThe FLUSH SSL command was first added in MariaDB 10.4.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, the FLUSH SSL command can be used to dynamically\nreinitialize the server\'s TLS context. This is most useful if you need to\nreplace a certificate that is about to expire without restarting the server.\n\nThis operation is performed by reloading the files defined by the following\nTLS system variables:\n\n* ssl_cert\n* ssl_key\n* ssl_ca\n* ssl_capath\n* ssl_crl\n* ssl_crlpath\n\nThese TLS system variables are not dynamic, so their values can not be changed\nwithout restarting the server.\n\nIf you want to dynamically reinitialize the server\'s TLS context, then you\nneed to change the certificate and key files at the relevant paths defined by\nthese TLS system variables, without actually changing the values of the\nvariables. See MDEV-19341 for more information.\n\nReducing Memory Usage\n---------------------\n\nTo flush some of the global caches that take up memory, you could execute the\nfollowing command:\n\nFLUSH LOCAL HOSTS,\n QUERY CACHE,\n TABLE_STATISTICS,\n INDEX_STATISTICS,\n USER_STATISTICS;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/flush/') WHERE help_topic_id = 341; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (342,26,'FLUSH QUERY CACHE','Description\n-----------\n\nYou can defragment the query cache to better utilize its memory with the FLUSH\nQUERY CACHE statement.

See SHOW ENGINE\nINNODB STATUS for more.\n\nSHOW ENGINE INNODB MUTEX\n------------------------\n\nSHOW ENGINE INNODB MUTEX displays InnoDB mutex statistics.\n\nThe statement displays the following output fields:\n\n* Type: Always InnoDB.\n* Name: The source file where the mutex is implemented, and the line number\n in the file where the mutex is created. The line number is dependent on the\nMariaDB version.\n* Status: This field displays the following values if UNIV_DEBUG was defined\nat compilation time (for example, in include/univ.h in the InnoDB part of the\nsource tree). Only the os_waits value is displayed if UNIV_DEBUG was not\ndefined. Without UNIV_DEBUG, the information on which the output is based is\ninsufficient to distinguish regular mutexes and mutexes that protect\n rw-locks (which allow multiple readers or a single writer). Consequently, the\n output may appear to contain multiple rows for the same mutex.\ncount indicates how many times the mutex was requested.\nspin_waits indicates how many times the spinlock had to run.\nspin_rounds indicates the number of spinlock rounds. (spin_rounds divided by\n spin_waits provides the average round count.)\nos_waits indicates the number of operating system waits. This occurs when\n the spinlock did not work (the mutex was not locked during the spinlock and\n it was necessary to yield to the operating system and wait).\nos_yields indicates the number of times a the thread trying to lock a mutex\n gave up its timeslice and yielded to the operating system (on the\n presumption that allowing other threads to run will free the mutex so that\n it can be locked).\nos_wait_times indicates the amount of time (in ms) spent in operating system\n waits, if the timed_mutexes system variable is 1 (ON). If timed_mutexes is 0\n (OFF), timing is disabled, so os_wait_times is 0. timed_mutexes is off by\n default.\n\nInformation from this statement can be used to diagnose system problems. For\nexample, large values of spin_waits and spin_rounds may indicate scalability\nproblems.\n\nThe information_schema.INNODB_MUTEXES table provides similar information.\n\nSHOW ENGINE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA STATUS\n-------------------------------------\n\nThis statement shows how much memory is used for performance_schema tables and\ninternal buffers.\n\nThe output contains the following fields:\n\n* Type: Always performance_schema.\n* Name: The name of a table, the name of an internal buffer, or the\nperformance_schema word, followed by a dot and an attribute. Internal buffers\nnames are enclosed by parenthesis. performance_schema means that the attribute\nrefers to the whole database (it is a total). \n* Status: The value for the attribute.\n\nThe following attributes are shown, in this order, for all tables:\n\n* row_size: The memory used for an individual record. This value will never\nchange.\n* row_count: The number of rows in the table or buffer. For some tables, this\nvalue depends on a server system variable.\n* memory: For tables and performance_schema, this is the result of row_size *\nrow_count.\n\nFor internal buffers, the attributes are:\n\n* count\n* size\n\nSHOW ENGINE ROCKSDB STATUS\n--------------------------\n\nSee also MyRocks Performance Troubleshooting\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/show-engine/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/show-engine/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (375,26,'SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS','SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS is a specific form of the SHOW ENGINE statement that\ndisplays the InnoDB Monitor output, which is extensive InnoDB information\nwhich can be useful in diagnosing problems.\n\nThe following sections are displayed\n\n* Status: Shows the timestamp, monitor name and the number of seconds, or the\nelapsed time between the current time and the time the InnoDB Monitor output\nwas last displayed.

Profiling is enabled by setting profiling to 1 or ON:\n\nSET profiling = 1;\n\nSHOW PROFILES displays a list of the most recent statements sent to the\nmaster. The size of the list is controlled by the profiling_history_size\nsession variable, which has a default value of 15. The maximum value is 100.\nSetting the value to 0 has the practical effect of disabling profiling.\n\nAll statements are profiled except SHOW PROFILES and SHOW PROFILE, so you will\nfind neither of those statements in the profile list. Malformed statements are\nprofiled. For example, SHOW PROFILING is an illegal statement, and a syntax\nerror occurs if you try to execute it, but it will show up in the profiling\nlist.\n\nSHOW PROFILE displays detailed information about a single statement. Without\nthe FOR QUERY n clause, the output pertains to the most recently executed\nstatement. If FOR QUERY n is included, SHOW PROFILE displays information for\nstatement n. The values of n correspond to the Query_ID values displayed by\nSHOW PROFILES.\n\nThe LIMIT row_count clause may be given to limit the output to row_count rows.\nIf LIMIT is given, OFFSET offset may be added to begin the output offset rows\ninto the full set of rows.\n\nBy default, SHOW PROFILE displays Status and Duration columns. The Status\nvalues are like the State values displayed by SHOW PROCESSLIST, although there\nmight be some minor differences in interpretation for the two statements for\nsome status values (see\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/thread-information.html).\n\nOptional type values may be specified to display specific additional types of\ninformation:\n\n* ALL displays all information\n* BLOCK IO displays counts for block input and output operations\n* CONTEXT SWITCHES displays counts for voluntary and involuntary context\nswitches\n* CPU displays user and system CPU usage times\n* IPC displays counts for messages sent and received\n* MEMORY is not currently implemented\n* PAGE FAULTS displays counts for major and minor page faults\n* SOURCE displays the names of functions from the source code, together with\nthe name and line number of the file in which the function occurs\n* SWAPS displays swap counts\n\nProfiling is enabled per session.

The LIKE clause,\nif present, indicates which variable names to match. The WHERE clause can be\ngiven to select rows using more general conditions.\n\nWith the GLOBAL modifier, SHOW STATUS displays the status values for all\nconnections to MariaDB. With SESSION, it displays the status values for the\ncurrent connection. If no modifier is present, the default is SESSION. LOCAL\nis a synonym for SESSION. If you see a lot of 0 values, the reason is probably\nthat you have used SHOW STATUS with a new connection instead of SHOW GLOBAL\nSTATUS.\n\nSome status variables have only a global value. For these, you get the same\nvalue for both GLOBAL and SESSION.\n\nSee Server Status Variables for a full list, scope and description of the\nvariables that can be viewed with SHOW STATUS.\n\nThe LIKE

more general\nconditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.\n\nThe following information is returned:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Column |

|\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Row_format | Row format (see InnoDB, Aria and MyISAM row |\n| | formats). |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Rows | Number of rows in the table.

With a LIKE clause, the statement\ndisplays only rows for those variables with names that match the pattern. To\nobtain the row for a specific variable, use a LIKE clause as shown:\n\nSHOW VARIABLES LIKE \'maria_group_commit\';\nSHOW SESSION VARIABLES LIKE \'maria_group_commit\';\n\nTo get a list of variables whose name match a pattern, use the \"%\" wildcard\ncharacter in a LIKE clause:\n\nSHOW VARIABLES LIKE \'%maria%\';\nSHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE \'%maria%\';\n\nWildcard characters can be used in any position within the pattern to be\nmatched. Strictly speaking, because \"_\" is a wildcard that matches any single\ncharacter, you should escape it as \"\\_\" to match it literally.

WAIT FOR ALL\nREPLICAS has been a synonym since MariaDB 10.5.1.\n\nWhen a master server is shutdown and it goes through the normal shutdown\nprocess, the master kills client threads in random order. By default, the\nmaster also considers its binary log dump threads to be regular client\nthreads. As a consequence, the binary log dump threads can be killed while\nclient threads still exist, and this means that data can be written on the\nmaster during a normal shutdown that won\'t be replicated. This is true even if\nsemi-synchronous replication is being used.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, this problem can be solved by shutting down the\nserver with the SHUTDOWN command and by providing the WAIT FOR ALL SLAVES\noption to the command. For example:\n\nSHUTDOWN WAIT FOR ALL SLAVES;\n\nWhen the WAIT FOR ALL SLAVES option is provided, the server only kills its\nbinary log dump threads after all client threads have been killed, and it only\ncompletes the shutdown after the last binary log has been sent to all\nconnected replicas.\n\nSee Replication Threads: Binary Log Dump Threads and the Shutdown Process for\nmore information.\n\nRequired Permissions\n--------------------\n\nOne must have a SHUTDOWN privilege (see GRANT) to use this command.

If the ORDER BY clause is specified, the rows are deleted in the\norder that is specified. The LIMIT clause places a limit on the number of rows\nthat can be deleted.\n\nFor the multiple-table syntax, DELETE deletes from each tbl_name the rows that\nsatisfy the conditions.

A\nDELETE can also reference tables which are located in different databases; see\nIdentifier Qualifiers for the syntax.\n\nwhere_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for each row to be\ndeleted.

You need only\nthe SELECT privilege for any columns that are only read, such as those named\nin the WHERE clause. See GRANT.\n\nAs stated, a DELETE statement with no WHERE clause deletes all rows. A faster\nway to do this, when you do not need to know the number of deleted rows, is to\nuse TRUNCATE TABLE.

The SET clause indicates which\ncolumns to modify and the values they should be given. Each value can be given\nas an expression, or the keyword DEFAULT to set a column explicitly to its\ndefault value. The WHERE clause, if given, specifies the conditions that\nidentify which rows to update. With no WHERE clause, all rows are updated. If\nthe ORDER BY clause is specified, the rows are updated in the order that is\nspecified. The LIMIT clause places a limit on the number of rows that can be\nupdated.\n\nUntil MariaDB 10.3.2, for the multiple-table syntax, UPDATE updates rows in\neach table named in table_references that satisfy the conditions. In this\ncase, ORDER BY and LIMIT cannot be used. This restriction was lifted in\nMariaDB 10.3.2 and both clauses can be used with multiple-table updates. An\nUPDATE can also reference tables which are located in different databases; see\nIdentifier Qualifiers for the syntax.\n\nwhere_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for each row to be\nupdated.\n\ntable_references and where_condition are as specified as described in SELECT.\n\nFor single-table updates, assignments are evaluated in left-to-right order,\nwhile for multi-table updates, there is no guarantee of a particular order. If\nthe SIMULTANEOUS_ASSIGNMENT sql_mode (available from MariaDB 10.3.5) is set,\nUPDATE statements evaluate all assignments simultaneously.\n\nYou need the UPDATE privilege only for columns referenced in an UPDATE that\nare actually updated. You need only the SELECT privilege for any columns that\nare read but not modified. See GRANT.\n\nThe UPDATE statement supports the following modifiers:\n\n* If you use the LOW_PRIORITY keyword, execution of\n the UPDATE is delayed until no other clients are reading from\n the table. This affects only storage engines that use only table-level\n locking (MyISAM, MEMORY, MERGE). See HIGH_PRIORITY and LOW_PRIORITY clauses\nfor details.\n* If you use the IGNORE keyword, the update statement does \n not abort even if errors occur during the update. Rows for which\n duplicate-key conflicts occur are not updated. Rows for which columns are\n updated to values that would cause data conversion errors are updated to the\n closest valid values instead.\n\nPARTITION\n---------\n\nSee Partition Pruning and Selection for details.\n\nFOR PORTION OF\n--------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nSee Application Time Periods - Updating by Portion.\n\nUPDATE Statements With the Same Source and Target\n-------------------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.2\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.2, UPDATE statements may have the same source and target.\n\nFor example, given the following table:\n\nDROP TABLE t1;\nCREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT, c2 INT);\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (10,10), (20,20);\n\nUntil MariaDB 10.3.1, the following UPDATE statement would not work:\n\nUPDATE t1 SET c1=c1+1 WHERE c2=(SELECT MAX(c2) FROM t1);\nERROR 1093 (HY000): Table \'t1\' is specified twice, \n both as a target for \'UPDATE\' and as a separate source for data\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.2, the statement executes successfully:\n\nUPDATE t1 SET c1=c1+1 WHERE c2=(SELECT MAX(c2) FROM t1);\n\nSELECT * FROM t1;\n+------+------+\n| c1 | c2 |\n+------+------+\n| 10 | 10 |\n| 21 | 20 |\n+------+------+\n\nExample\n-------\n\nSingle-table syntax:\n\nUPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2 WHERE id=100;\n\nMultiple-table syntax:\n\nUPDATE tab1, tab2 SET tab1.column1 = value1, tab1.column2 = value2 WHERE\ntab1.id = tab2.id;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/update/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/update/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (415,27,'IGNORE','The IGNORE option tells the server to ignore some common errors.\n\nIGNORE can be used with the following statements:\n\n* DELETE\n* INSERT (see also INSERT IGNORE)\n* LOAD DATA INFILE\n* UPDATE\n* ALTER TABLE\n* CREATE TABLE ...

You\nmust have at least one select expression. See Select Expressions below.\n\n* The FROM clause indicates the table or tables from which to retrieve rows.\nUse either a single table name or a JOIN expression. See JOIN\nfor details. If no table is involved, FROM DUAL can be specified.\n\n* Each table can also be specified as db_name.tabl_name. Each column can also\nbe specified as tbl_name.col_name or even db_name.tbl_name.col_name. This\nallows one to write queries which involve multiple databases. See Identifier\nQualifiers for syntax details.\n\n* The WHERE clause, if given, indicates the condition or\n conditions that rows must satisfy to be selected.\n where_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for\n each row to be selected. The statement selects all rows if there is no WHERE\n clause.\nIn the WHERE clause, you can use any of the functions and\n operators that MariaDB supports, except for aggregate (summary) functions.\nSee Functions and Operators and Functions and Modifiers for use with GROUP BY\n(aggregate).\n\n* Use the ORDER BY clause to order the results.\n\n* Use the LIMIT clause allows you to restrict the results to only\na certain number of rows, optionally with an offset.\n\n* Use the GROUP BY and HAVING clauses to group\nrows together when they have columns or computed values in common.\n\nSELECT can also be used to retrieve rows computed without reference to any\ntable.\n\nSelect Expressions\n------------------\n\nA SELECT statement must contain one or more select expressions, separated by\ncommas. Each select expression can be one of the following:\n\n* The name of a column.\n* Any expression using functions and operators.\n* * to select all columns from all tables in the FROM clause.\n* tbl_name.* to select all columns from just the table tbl_name.\n\nWhen specifying a column, you can either use just the column name or qualify\nthe column name with the name of the table using tbl_name.col_name. The\nqualified form is useful if you are joining multiple tables in the FROM\nclause. If you do not qualify the column names when selecting from multiple\ntables, MariaDB will try to find the column in each table. It is an error if\nthat column name exists in multiple tables.\n\nYou can quote column names using backticks. If you are qualifying column names\nwith table names, quote each part separately as `tbl_name`.`col_name`.\n\nIf you use any grouping functions in any of the select expressions, all rows\nin your results will be implicitly grouped, as if you had used GROUP BY NULL.\n\nDISTINCT\n--------\n\nA query may produce some identical rows. By default, all rows are retrieved,\neven when their values are the same. To explicitly specify that you want to\nretrieve identical rows, use the ALL option. If you want duplicates to be\nremoved from the resultset, use the DISTINCT option. DISTINCTROW is a synonym\nfor DISTINCT. See also COUNT DISTINCT and SELECT UNIQUE in Oracle mode.\n\nINTO\n----\n\nThe INTO clause is used to specify that the query results should be written to\na file or variable.\n\n* SELECT INTO OUTFILE - formatting and writing the result to an external file.\n* SELECT INTO DUMPFILE - binary-safe writing of the unformatted results to an\nexternal file.\n* SELECT INTO Variable - selecting and setting variables.\n\nThe reverse of SELECT INTO OUTFILE is LOAD DATA.\n\nLIMIT\n-----\n\nRestricts the number of returned rows. See LIMIT and LIMIT ROWS EXAMINED for\ndetails.\n\nLOCK IN SHARE MODE/FOR UPDATE\n-----------------------------\n\nSee LOCK IN SHARE MODE and FOR UPDATE for details on the respective locking\nclauses.\n\nOFFSET ... FETCH\n----------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6\n--------------------------\nSee SELECT ... OFFSET ... FETCH.\n\nORDER BY\n--------\n\nOrder a resultset. See ORDER BY for details.\n\nPARTITION\n---------\n\nSpecifies to the optimizer which partitions are relevant for the query. Other\npartitions will not be read. See Partition Pruning and Selection for details.\n\nPROCEDURE\n---------\n\nPasses the whole result set to a C Procedure. See PROCEDURE and PROCEDURE\nANALYSE (the only built-in procedure not requiring the server to be\nrecompiled).\n\nSKIP LOCKED\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6\n--------------------------\nThe SKIP LOCKED clause was introduced in MariaDB 10.6.0.\n\nThis causes those rows that couldn\'t be locked (LOCK IN SHARE MODE or FOR\nUPDATE) to be excluded from the result set. An explicit NOWAIT is implied\nhere. This is only implemented on InnoDB tables and ignored otherwise.\n\nSQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS\n-------------------\n\nWhen SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS is used, then MariaDB will calculate how many rows\nwould have been in the result, if there would be no LIMIT clause. The result\ncan be found by calling the function FOUND_ROWS() in your next sql statement.\n\nmax_statement_time clause\n-------------------------\n\nBy using max_statement_time in conjunction with SET STATEMENT, it is possible\nto limit the execution time of individual queries. For example:\n\nSET STATEMENT max_statement_time=100 FOR \n SELECT field1 FROM table_name ORDER BY field1;\n\nWAIT/NOWAIT\n-----------\n\nSet the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT f1,f2 FROM t1 WHERE (f3<=10) AND (f4=\'y\');\n\nSee Getting Data from MariaDB (Beginner tutorial), or the various\nsub-articles, for more examples.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/select/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/select/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (417,27,'JOIN Syntax','Description\n-----------\n\nMariaDB supports the following JOIN syntaxes for the table_references part of\nSELECT statements and multiple-table DELETE and UPDATE statements:\n\ntable_references:\n table_reference [, table_reference] ...\n\ntable_reference:\n table_factor\n | join_table\n\ntable_factor:\n tbl_name [PARTITION (partition_list)]\n [query_system_time_period_specification] [[AS] alias] [index_hint_list]\n | table_subquery [query_system_time_period_specification] [AS] alias\n | ( table_references )\n | { ON table_reference LEFT OUTER JOIN table_reference\n ON conditional_expr }\n\njoin_table:\n table_reference [INNER | CROSS] JOIN table_factor [join_condition]\n | table_reference STRAIGHT_JOIN table_factor\n | table_reference STRAIGHT_JOIN table_factor ON conditional_expr\n | table_reference {LEFT|RIGHT} [OUTER] JOIN table_reference join_condition\n | table_reference NATURAL [{LEFT|RIGHT} [OUTER]] JOIN table_factor\n\njoin_condition:\n ON conditional_expr\n | USING (column_list)\n\nquery_system_time_period_specification:\n FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF point_in_time\n | FOR SYSTEM_TIME BETWEEN point_in_time AND point_in_time\n | FOR SYSTEM_TIME FROM point_in_time TO point_in_time\n | FOR SYSTEM_TIME ALL\n\npoint_in_time:\n [TIMESTAMP] expression\n | TRANSACTION expression\n\nindex_hint_list:\n index_hint [, index_hint] ...\n\nindex_hint:\n USE {INDEX|KEY}\n [{FOR {JOIN|ORDER BY|GROUP BY}] ([index_list])\n | IGNORE {INDEX|KEY}\n [{FOR {JOIN|ORDER BY|GROUP BY}] (index_list)\n | FORCE {INDEX|KEY}\n [{FOR {JOIN|ORDER BY|GROUP BY}] (index_list)\n\nindex_list:\n index_name [, index_name] ...\n\nA table reference is also known as a join expression.\n\nEach table can also be specified as db_name.tabl_name. This allows to write\nqueries which involve multiple databases. See Identifier Qualifiers for syntax\ndetails.\n\nThe syntax of table_factor is extended in comparison with the SQL Standard.\nThe latter accepts only table_reference, not a list of them inside a pair of\nparentheses.\n\nThis is a conservative extension if we consider each comma in a list of\ntable_reference items as equivalent to an inner join. For example:\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (t2, t3, t4)\n ON (t2.a=t1.a AND t3.b=t1.b AND t4.c=t1.c)\n\nis equivalent to:\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (t2 CROSS JOIN t3 CROSS JOIN t4)\n ON (t2.a=t1.a AND t3.b=t1.b AND t4.c=t1.c)\n\nIn MariaDB, CROSS JOIN is a syntactic equivalent to INNER JOIN (they can\nreplace each other). In standard SQL, they are not equivalent. INNER JOIN is\nused with an ON clause, CROSS JOIN is used otherwise.\n\nIn general, parentheses can be ignored in join expressions containing only\ninner join operations. MariaDB also supports nested joins (see\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/nested-join-optimization.html).\n\nSee System-versioned tables for more information about FOR SYSTEM_TIME syntax.\n\nIndex hints can be specified to affect how the MariaDB optimizer makes use of\nindexes.

Suppose Table_1\n has three rows — {1,1,2}\n — and Table_2 has two rows\n — {1,2,2}. If you need to list the rows\n in Table_1 which are also in Table_2, only this\n subquery-based SELECT statement will give the right answer\n (1,1,2):\n\nSELECT Table_1.column_1 \nFROM Table_1 \nWHERE Table_1.column_1 IN \n (SELECT Table_2.column_1\n FROM Table_2);\n\n* This SQL statement won\'t work:\n\nSELECT Table_1.column_1 \nFROM Table_1,Table_2 \nWHERE Table_1.column_1 = Table_2.column_1;\n\n* because the result will be {1,1,2,2}\n — and the duplication of 2 is an error. This SQL\n statement won\'t work either:\n\nSELECT DISTINCT Table_1.column_1 \nFROM Table_1,Table_2 \nWHERE Table_1.column_1 = Table_2.column_1;\n\n* because the result will be {1,2} — and\n the removal of the duplicated 1 is an error too.\n\n* When the outermost statement is not a query. The SQL statement:\n\nUPDATE Table_1 SET column_1 = (SELECT column_1 FROM Table_2);\n\n* can\'t be expressed using a join unless some rare SQL3 features are used.\n\n* When the join is over an expression. The SQL statement:\n\nSELECT * FROM Table_1 \nWHERE column_1 + 5 =\n (SELECT MAX(column_1) FROM Table_2);\n\n* is hard to express with a join. In fact, the only way we can think of is\n this SQL statement:\n\nSELECT Table_1.*\nFROM Table_1, \n (SELECT MAX(column_1) AS max_column_1 FROM Table_2) AS Table_2\nWHERE Table_1.column_1 + 5 = Table_2.max_column_1;\n\n* which still involves a parenthesized query, so nothing is gained from the\n transformation.\n\n* When you want to see the exception. For example, suppose the question is:\n what books are longer than Das Kapital?

That might be the wrong answer, since the original\n question didn\'t ask for \"... longer than ANY book named Das Kapital\"\n (it seems to contain a false assumption that there\'s only one edition).\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/subqueries-and-joins/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/subqueries-and-joins/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (425,27,'Subquery Limitations','There are a number of limitations regarding subqueries, which are discussed\nbelow.

The expression in\n\nexpr op {ALL|ANY|SOME} subquery,\n\nmust be scalar and the subquery can only return a single column.\n\nHowever, because of the way IN is implemented (it is rewritten as a sequence\nof = comparisons and AND), the expression in\n\nexpression [NOT] IN subquery\n\nis permitted to be an n-tuple and the subquery can return rows of n-tuples.\n\nFor example:\n\nSELECT * FROM staff WHERE (name,age) NOT IN (\n SELECT name,age FROM customer WHERE age >=51]\n);\n+--------+------+\n| name | age |\n+--------+------+\n| Bilhah | 37 |\n| Maia | 25 |\n+--------+------+\n\nis permitted, but\n\nSELECT * FROM staff WHERE (name,age) = ALL (\n SELECT name,age FROM customer WHERE age >=51\n);\nERROR 1241 (21000): Operand should contain 1 column(s)\n\nis not.\n\nCorrelated Subqueries\n---------------------\n\nSubqueries in the FROM clause cannot be correlated subqueries. They cannot be\nevaluated for each row of the outer query since they are evaluated to produce\na result set during when the query is executed.\n\nStored Functions\n----------------\n\nA subquery can refer to a stored function which modifies data. This is an\nextension to the SQL standard, but can result in indeterminate outcomes. For\nexample, take:\n\nSELECT ... WHERE x IN (SELECT f() ...);\n\nwhere f() inserts rows. The function f() could be executed a different number\nof times depending on how the optimizer chooses to handle the query.\n\nThis sort of construct is therefore not safe to use in replication that is not\nrow-based, as there could be different results on the master and the slave.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/subquery-limitations/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/subquery-limitations/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (426,27,'UNION','UNION is used to combine the results from multiple SELECT statements into a\nsingle result set.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nSELECT ...\nUNION [ALL | DISTINCT] SELECT ...\n[UNION [ALL | DISTINCT] SELECT ...]\n[ORDER BY [column [, column ...]]]\n[LIMIT {[offset,] row_count | row_count OFFSET offset}]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nUNION is used to combine the results from multiple SELECT statements into a\nsingle result set.\n\nThe column names from the first SELECT statement are used as the column names\nfor the results returned. Selected columns listed in corresponding positions\nof each SELECT statement should have the same data type. (For example, the\nfirst column selected by the first statement should have the same type as the\nfirst column selected by the other statements.)\n\nIf they don\'t, the type and length of the columns in the result take into\naccount the values returned by all of the SELECTs, so there is no need for\nexplicit casting. Note that currently this is not the case for recursive CTEs\n- see MDEV-12325.\n\nTable names can be specified as db_name.tbl_name. This permits writing UNIONs\nwhich involve multiple databases. See Identifier Qualifiers for syntax details.\n\nUNION queries cannot be used with aggregate functions.\n\nEXCEPT and UNION have the same operation precedence and INTERSECT has a higher\nprecedence, unless running in Oracle mode, in which case all three have the\nsame precedence.\n\nALL/DISTINCT\n------------\n\nThe ALL keyword causes duplicate rows to be preserved. The DISTINCT keyword\n(the default if the keyword is omitted) causes duplicate rows to be removed by\nthe results.\n\nUNION ALL and UNION DISTINCT can both be present in a query. In this case,\nUNION DISTINCT will override any UNION ALLs to its left.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.1.1\n----------------------------\nUntil MariaDB 10.1.1, all UNION ALL statements required the server to create a\ntemporary table. Since MariaDB 10.1.1, the server can in most cases execute\nUNION ALL without creating a temporary table, improving performance (see\nMDEV-334).\n\nORDER BY and LIMIT\n------------------\n\nIndividual SELECTs can contain their own ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses. In this\ncase, the individual queries need to be wrapped between parentheses. However,\nthis does not affect the order of the UNION, so they only are useful to limit\nthe record read by one SELECT.\n\nThe UNION can have global ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses, which affect the whole\nresultset. If the columns retrieved by individual SELECT statements have an\nalias (AS), the ORDER BY must use that alias, not the real column names.\n\nHIGH_PRIORITY\n-------------\n\nSpecifying a query as HIGH_PRIORITY will not work inside a UNION. If applied\nto the first SELECT, it will be ignored. Applying to a later SELECT results in\na syntax error:\n\nERROR 1234 (42000): Incorrect usage/placement of \'HIGH_PRIORITY\'\n\nSELECT ... INTO ...\n-------------------\n\nIndividual SELECTs cannot be written INTO DUMPFILE or INTO OUTFILE. If the\nlast SELECT statement specifies INTO DUMPFILE or INTO OUTFILE, the entire\nresult of the UNION will be written. Placing the clause after any other SELECT\nwill result in a syntax error.\n\nIf the result is a single row, SELECT ... INTO @var_name can also be used.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.0\n----------------------------\n\nParentheses\n-----------\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.4.0, parentheses can be used to specify precedence.

MariaDB executes the parenthetical expression before the\nrest of the statement. You can then use ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses the further\norganize the result-set.\n\nNote: In practice, the Optimizer may rearrange the exact order in which\nMariaDB executes different parts of the statement.

You can specify just a column or use any expression with\nfunctions. If you are using the GROUP BY clause, you can use grouping\nfunctions in ORDER BY. Ordering is done after grouping.\n\nYou can use multiple ordering expressions, separated by commas. Rows will be\nsorted by the first expression, then by the second expression if they have the\nsame value for the first, and so on.\n\nYou can use the keywords ASC and DESC after each ordering expression to force\nthat ordering to be ascending or descending, respectively. Ordering is\nascending by default.\n\nYou can also use a single integer as the ordering expression. If you use an\ninteger n, the results will be ordered by the nth column in the select\nexpression.\n\nWhen string values are compared, they are compared as if by the STRCMP\nfunction. STRCMP ignores trailing whitespace and may normalize characters and\nignore case, depending on the collation in use.\n\nDuplicated entries in the ORDER BY clause are removed.\n\nORDER BY can also be used to order the activities of a DELETE or UPDATE\nstatement (usually with the LIMIT clause).\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.2\n----------------------------\nUntil MariaDB 10.3.1, it was not possible to use ORDER BY (or LIMIT) in a\nmulti-table UPDATE statement.

When\nyou use a GROUP BY clause, you will get a single result row for each group of\nrows that have the same value for the expression given in GROUP BY.\n\nWhen grouping rows, grouping values are compared as if by the = operator. For\nstring values, the = operator ignores trailing whitespace and may normalize\ncharacters and ignore case, depending on the collation in use.\n\nYou can use any of the grouping functions in your select expression. Their\nvalues will be calculated based on all the rows that have been grouped\ntogether for each result row. If you select a non-grouped column or a value\ncomputed from a non-grouped column, it is undefined which row the returned\nvalue is taken from. This is not permitted if the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY SQL_MODE\nis used.\n\nYou can use multiple expressions in the GROUP BY clause, separated by commas.\nRows are grouped together if they match on each of the expressions.\n\nYou can also use a single integer as the grouping expression. If you use an\ninteger n, the results will be grouped by the nth column in the select\nexpression.\n\nThe WHERE clause is applied before the GROUP BY clause. It filters\nnon-aggregated rows before the rows are grouped together. To filter grouped\nrows based on aggregate values, use the HAVING clause. The HAVING clause takes\nany expression and evaluates it as a boolean, just like the WHERE clause. You\ncan use grouping functions in the HAVING clause. As with the select\nexpression, if you reference non-grouped columns in the HAVING clause, the\nbehavior is undefined.\n\nBy default, if a GROUP BY clause is present, the rows in the output will be\nsorted by the expressions used in the GROUP BY. You can also specify ASC or\nDESC (ascending, descending) after those expressions, like in ORDER BY. The\ndefault is ASC.\n\nIf you want the rows to be sorted by another field, you can add an explicit\nORDER BY. If you don\'t want the result to be ordered, you can add ORDER BY\nNULL.\n\nWITH ROLLUP\n-----------\n\nThe WITH ROLLUP modifer adds extra rows to the resultset that represent\nsuper-aggregate summaries.

For each win\naverage as above, get a list of the average play count taken to get that\naverage:\n\nSELECT (wins / plays) AS winavg, AVG(plays) FROM plays \n GROUP BY winavg;\n+--------+------------+\n| winavg | AVG(plays) |\n+--------+------------+\n| 0.1765 | 17.0000 |\n| 0.2500 | 26.0000 |\n| 0.3636 | 22.0000 |\n+--------+------------+\n3 rows in set (0.00 sec)\n\nYou can filter on aggregate information using the HAVING clause.

It allows you to\nrefer to a subquery expression many times in a query, as if having a temporary\ntable that only exists for the duration of a query.\n\nThere are two kinds of CTEs:\n\n* Non-Recursive\n* Recursive (signified by the RECURSIVE keyword, supported since MariaDB\n10.2.2)\n\nYou can use table_reference as any normal table in the external SELECT part.\nYou can also use WITH in subqueries, as well as with EXPLAIN and SELECT.\n\nPoorly-formed recursive CTEs can in theory cause infinite loops. The\nmax_recursive_iterations system variable limits the number of recursions.\n\nCYCLE ... RESTRICT\n------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.2\n----------------------------\nThe CYCLE clause enables CTE cycle detection, avoiding excessive or infinite\nloops, MariaDB supports a relaxed, non-standard grammar.\n\nThe SQL Standard permits a CYCLE clause, as follows:\n\nWITH RECURSIVE ... (\n ...\n)\nCYCLE <cycle column list>\nSET <cycle mark column> TO <cycle mark value> DEFAULT <non-cycle mark value>\nUSING <path column>\n\nwhere all clauses are mandatory.\n\nMariaDB does not support this, but from 10.5.2 permits a non-standard relaxed\ngrammar, as follows:\n\nWITH RECURSIVE ... (\n ...\n)\nCYCLE <cycle column list> RESTRICT\n\nWith the use of CYCLE ... RESTRICT it makes no difference whether the CTE uses\nUNION ALL or UNION DISTINCT anymore. UNION ALL means \"all rows, but without\ncycles\", which is exactly what the CYCLE clause enables. And UNION DISTINCT\nmeans all rows should be different, which, again, is what will happen — as\nuniqueness is enforced over a subset of columns, complete rows will\nautomatically all be different.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nBelow is an example with the WITH at the top level:\n\nWITH t AS (SELECT a FROM t1 WHERE b >= \'c\') \n SELECT * FROM t2, t WHERE t2.c = t.a;\n\nThe example below uses WITH in a subquery:\n\nSELECT t1.a, t1.b FROM t1, t2\n WHERE t1.a > t2.c\n AND t2.c IN(WITH t AS (SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE t1.a < 5)\n SELECT t2.c FROM t2, t WHERE t2.c = t.a);\n\nBelow is an example of a Recursive CTE:\n\nWITH RECURSIVE ancestors AS \n ( SELECT * FROM folks\n WHERE name=\"Alex\"\n UNION\n SELECT f.*\n FROM folks AS f, ancestors AS a\n WHERE f.id = a.father OR f.id = a.mother )\nSELECT * FROM ancestors;\n\nTake the following structure, and data,\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (from_ int, to_ int);\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,2), (1,100), (2,3), (3,4), (4,1);\nSELECT * FROM t1;\n+-------+------+\n| from_ | to_ |\n+-------+------+\n| 1 | 2 |\n| 1 | 100 |\n| 2 | 3 |\n| 3 | 4 |\n| 4 | 1 |\n+-------+------+\n\nGiven the above, the following query would theoretically result in an infinite\nloop due to the last record in t1 (note that max_recursive_iterations is set\nto 10 for the purposes of this example, to avoid the excessive number of\ncycles):\n\nSET max_recursive_iterations=10;\n\nWITH RECURSIVE cte (depth, from_, to_) AS ( \n SELECT 0,1,1 UNION DISTINCT SELECT depth+1, t1.from_, t1.to_\n FROM t1, cte WHERE t1.from_ = cte.to_\n) \nSELECT * FROM cte;\n+-------+-------+------+\n| depth | from_ | to_ |\n+-------+-------+------+\n| 0 | 1 | 1 |\n| 1 | 1 | 2 |\n| 1 | 1 | 100 |\n| 2 | 2 | 3 |\n| 3 | 3 | 4 |\n| 4 | 4 | 1 |\n| 5 | 1 | 2 |\n| 5 | 1 | 100 |\n| 6 | 2 | 3 |\n| 7 | 3 | 4 |\n| 8 | 4 | 1 |\n| 9 | 1 | 2 |\n| 9 | 1 | 100 |\n| 10 | 2 | 3 |\n+-------+-------+------+\n\nHowever, the CYCLE ... RESTRICT clause (from MariaDB 10.5.2) can overcome this:\n\nWITH RECURSIVE cte (depth, from_, to_) AS ( \n SELECT 0,1,1 UNION SELECT depth+1, t1.from_, t1.to_\n FROM t1, cte WHERE t1.from_ = cte.to_\n) \nCYCLE from_, to_ RESTRICT \nSELECT * FROM cte;\n+-------+-------+------+\n| depth | from_ | to_ |\n+-------+-------+------+\n| 0 | 1 | 1 |\n| 1 | 1 | 2 |\n| 1 | 1 | 100 |\n| 2 | 2 | 3 |\n| 3 | 3 | 4 |\n| 4 | 4 | 1 |\n+-------+-------+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/with/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/with/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (434,27,'Non-Recursive Common Table Expressions Overview','Common Table Expressions (CTEs) are a standard SQL feature, and are\nessentially temporary named result sets.

This\nmakes it particularly useful for handing hierarchical or tree-structured data.\nmax_recursive_iterations avoids infinite loops.\n\nSyntax example\n--------------\n\nWITH RECURSIVE signifies a recursive CTE.

It is necessary to CAST the column to the\ncorrect width if the CTE\'s recursive part produces wider values for a column\nthan the CTE\'s nonrecursive part. Some other DBMS give an error in this\nsituation, and MariaDB\'s behavior may change in future - see MDEV-12325.

WITH TIES requires ORDER BY clause to be present\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nGiven a table with 6 rows:\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (i INT);\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4), (4), (5);\nSELECT i FROM t1 ORDER BY i ASC;\n+------+\n| i |\n+------+\n| 1 |\n| 2 |\n| 3 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |\n| 5 |\n+------+\n\nOFFSET 2 allows one to skip the first two results.\n\nSELECT i FROM t1 ORDER BY i ASC OFFSET 2 ROWS;\n+------+\n| i |\n+------+\n| 3 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |\n| 5 |\n+------+\n\nFETCH FIRST 3 ROWS ONLY limits the results to three rows only\n\nSELECT i FROM t1 ORDER BY i ASC OFFSET 1 ROWS FETCH FIRST 3 ROWS ONLY;\n+------+\n| i |\n+------+\n| 2 |\n| 3 |\n| 4 |\n+------+\n\nThe same outcome can also be achieved with the LIMIT clause:\n\nSELECT i FROM t1 ORDER BY i ASC LIMIT 3 OFFSET 1;\n+------+\n| i |\n+------+\n| 2 |\n| 3 |\n| 4 |\n+------+\n\nWITH TIES ensures the tied result 4 is also returned.\n\nSELECT i FROM t1 ORDER BY i ASC OFFSET 1 ROWS FETCH FIRST 3 ROWS WITH TIES;\n+------+\n| i |\n+------+\n| 2 |\n| 3 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |\n+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/select-offset-fetch/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/select-offset-fetch/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (445,27,'INSERT','Syntax\n------\n\nINSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]\n [INTO] tbl_name [PARTITION (partition_list)] [(col,...)]\n {VALUES | VALUE} ({expr | DEFAULT},...),(...),...\n [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE\n col=expr\n [, col=expr] ... ] [RETURNING select_expr\n [, select_expr ...]]\n\nOr:\n\nINSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | DELAYED | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]\n [INTO] tbl_name [PARTITION (partition_list)]\n SET col={expr | DEFAULT}, ...\n [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE\n col=expr\n [, col=expr] ... ] [RETURNING select_expr\n [, select_expr ...]]\n\nOr:\n\nINSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]\n [INTO] tbl_name [PARTITION (partition_list)] [(col,...)]\n SELECT ...\n [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE\n col=expr\n [, col=expr] ... ] [RETURNING select_expr\n [, select_expr ...]]\n\nThe INSERT statement is used to insert new rows into an existing table. The\nINSERT ... VALUES and INSERT ... SET forms of the statement insert rows based\non explicitly specified values. The INSERT ... SELECT form inserts rows\nselected from another table or tables. INSERT ... SELECT is discussed further\nin the INSERT ... SELECT article.\n\nThe table name can be specified in the form db_name.tbl_name or, if a default\ndatabase is selected, in the form tbl_name (see Identifier Qualifiers).

See\nPartition Pruning and Selection for details.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5\n--------------------------\nThe RETURNING clause was introduced in MariaDB 10.5.\n\nThe columns list is optional. It specifies which values are explicitly\ninserted, and in which order. If this clause is not specified, all values must\nbe explicitly specified, in the same order they are listed in the table\ndefinition.\n\nThe list of value follow the VALUES or VALUE keyword (which are\ninterchangeable, regardless how much values you want to insert), and is\nwrapped by parenthesis. The values must be listed in the same order as the\ncolumns list. It is possible to specify more than one list to insert more than\none rows with a single statement. If many rows are inserted, this is a speed\noptimization.\n\nFor one-row statements, the SET clause may be more simple, because you don\'t\nneed to remember the columns order. All values are specified in the form col =\nexpr.\n\nValues can also be specified in the form of a SQL expression or subquery.\nHowever, the subquery cannot access the same table that is named in the INTO\nclause.\n\nIf you use the LOW_PRIORITY keyword, execution of the INSERT is delayed until\nno other clients are reading from the table. If you use the HIGH_PRIORITY\nkeyword, the statement has the same priority as SELECTs. This affects only\nstorage engines that use only table-level locking (MyISAM, MEMORY, MERGE).\nHowever, if one of these keywords is specified, concurrent inserts cannot be\nused.

RETURNING\n--------------------\n\nINSERT ... RETURNING returns a resultset of the inserted rows.\n\nThis returns the listed columns for all the rows that are inserted, or\nalternatively, the specified SELECT expression. Any SQL expressions which can\nbe calculated can be used in the select expression for the RETURNING clause,\nincluding virtual columns and aliases, expressions which use various operators\nsuch as bitwise, logical and arithmetic operators, string functions, date-time\nfunctions, numeric functions, control flow functions, secondary functions and\nstored functions. Along with this, statements which have subqueries and\nprepared statements can also be used.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSimple INSERT statement\n\nINSERT INTO t2 VALUES (1,\'Dog\'),(2,\'Lion\'),(3,\'Tiger\'),(4,\'Leopard\') \nRETURNING id2,id2+id2,id2&id2,id2||id2;\n+-----+---------+---------+----------+\n| id2 | id2+id2 | id2&id2 | id2||id2 |\n+-----+---------+---------+----------+\n| 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 |\n| 2 | 4 | 2 | 1 |\n| 3 | 6 | 3 | 1 |\n| 4 | 8 | 4 | 1 |\n+-----+---------+---------+----------+\n\nUsing stored functions in RETURNING\n\nDELIMITER |\nCREATE FUNCTION f(arg INT) RETURNS INT\n BEGIN\n RETURN (SELECT arg+arg);\n END|\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nPREPARE stmt FROM \"INSERT INTO t1 SET id1=1, animal1=\'Bear\' RETURNING f(id1),\nUPPER(animal1)\";\n\nEXECUTE stmt;\n+---------+----------------+\n| f(id1) | UPPER(animal1) |\n+---------+----------------+\n| 2 | BEAR |\n+---------+----------------+\n\nSubqueries in the RETURNING clause that return more than one row or column\ncannot be used.\n\nAggregate functions cannot be used in the RETURNING clause. Since aggregate\nfunctions work on a set of values, and if the purpose is to get the row count,\nROW_COUNT() with SELECT can be used or it can be used in\nINSERT...SELECT...RETURNING if the table in the RETURNING clause is not the\nsame as the INSERT table.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/insert/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/insert/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (446,27,'INSERT DELAYED','Syntax\n------\n\nINSERT DELAYED ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe DELAYED option for the INSERT statement is a MariaDB/MySQL extension to\nstandard SQL that is very useful if you have clients that cannot or need not\nwait for the INSERT to complete. This is a common situation when you use\nMariaDB for logging and you also periodically run SELECT and UPDATE statements\nthat take a long time to complete.\n\nWhen a client uses INSERT DELAYED, it gets an okay from the server at once,\nand the row is queued to be inserted when the table is not in use by any other\nthread.\n\nAnother major benefit of using INSERT DELAYED is that inserts from many\nclients are bundled together and written in one block. This is much faster\nthan performing many separate inserts.\n\nNote that INSERT DELAYED is slower than a normal INSERT if the table is not\notherwise in use. There is also the additional overhead for the server to\nhandle a separate thread for each table for which there are delayed rows. This\nmeans that you should use INSERT DELAYED only when you are really sure that\nyou need it.\n\nThe queued rows are held only in memory until they are inserted into the\ntable. This means that if you terminate mysqld forcibly (for example, with\nkill -9) or if mysqld dies unexpectedly, any queued rows that have not been\nwritten to disk are lost.\n\nThe number of concurrent INSERT DELAYED threads is limited by the\nmax_delayed_threads server system variables. If it is set to 0, INSERT DELAYED\nis disabled. The session value can be equal to the global value, or 0 to\ndisable this statement for the current session. If this limit has been\nreached, the DELAYED clause will be silently ignore for subsequent statements\n(no error will be produced).\n\nLimitations\n-----------\n\nThere are some limitations on the use of DELAYED:\n\n* INSERT DELAYED works only with MyISAM, MEMORY, ARCHIVE,\n and BLACKHOLE tables. If you execute INSERT DELAYED with another storage\nengine, you will get an error like this: ERROR 1616 (HY000): DELAYED option\nnot supported for table \'tab_name\'\n* For MyISAM tables, if there are no free blocks in the middle of the data\n file, concurrent SELECT and INSERT statements are supported. Under these\n circumstances, you very seldom need to use INSERT DELAYED\n with MyISAM.\n* INSERT DELAYED should be used only for\n INSERT statements that specify value lists. The server\n ignores DELAYED for INSERT ... SELECT\n or INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements.\n* Because the INSERT DELAYED statement returns immediately,\n before the rows are inserted, you cannot use\n LAST_INSERT_ID() to get the\n AUTO_INCREMENT value that the statement might generate.\n* DELAYED rows are not visible to SELECT\n statements until they actually have been inserted.\n* After INSERT DELAYED, ROW_COUNT() returns the number of the rows you tried\nto insert, not the number of the successful writes.\n* DELAYED is ignored on slave replication servers, so that \n INSERT DELAYED is treated as a normal\n INSERT on slaves. This is because\n DELAYED could cause the slave to have different data than\n the master. INSERT DELAYED statements are not safe for replication.\n* Pending INSERT DELAYED statements are lost if a table is\n write locked and ALTER TABLE is used to modify the table structure.\n* INSERT DELAYED is not supported for views. If you try, you will get an error\nlike this: ERROR 1347 (HY000): \'view_name\' is not BASE TABLE\n* INSERT DELAYED is not supported for partitioned tables.\n* INSERT DELAYED is not supported within stored programs.\n* INSERT DELAYED does not work with triggers.\n* INSERT DELAYED does not work if there is a check constraint in place.\n* INSERT DELAYED does not work if skip-new mode is active.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/insert-delayed/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/insert-delayed/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (447,27,'INSERT SELECT','Syntax\n------\n\nINSERT [LOW_PRIORITY | HIGH_PRIORITY] [IGNORE]\n [INTO] tbl_name [(col_name,...)]\n SELECT ...\n [ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col_name=expr, ... ]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nWith INSERT ... SELECT, you can quickly insert many rows into a table from one\nor more other tables. For example:\n\nINSERT INTO tbl_temp2 (fld_id)\n SELECT tbl_temp1.fld_order_id\n FROM tbl_temp1 WHERE tbl_temp1.fld_order_id > 100;\n\ntbl_name can also be specified in the form db_name.tbl_name (see Identifier\nQualifiers). This allows to copy rows between different databases.\n\nIf the new table has a primary key or UNIQUE indexes, you can use IGNORE to\nhandle duplicate key errors during the query. The newer values will not be\ninserted if an identical value already exists.\n\nREPLACE can be used instead of INSERT to prevent duplicates on UNIQUE indexes\nby deleting old values. In that case, ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE cannot be used.\n\nINSERT ... SELECT works for tables which already exist. To create a table for\na given resultset, you can use CREATE TABLE ...

The file name must be given as a literal string.\n\nFiles are written to disk using the SELECT INTO OUTFILE statement. You can\nthen read the files back into a table using the LOAD DATA INFILE statement.\nThe FIELDS and LINES clauses are the same in both statements. These clauses\nare optional, but if both are specified then the FIELDS clause must precede\nLINES.\n\nExecuting this statement activates INSERT triggers.\n\nOne must have the FILE privilege to be able to execute LOAD DATA INFILE. This\nis to ensure normal users cannot read system files. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE\ndoes not have this requirement.\n\nIf the secure_file_priv system variable is set (by default it is not), the\nloaded file must be present in the specified directory.\n\nNote that MariaDB\'s systemd unit file restricts access to /home, /root, and\n/run/user by default. See Configuring access to home directories.\n\nLOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE\n----------------------\n\nWhen you execute the LOAD DATA INFILE statement, MariaDB Server attempts to\nread the input file from its own file system. By contrast, when you execute\nthe LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement, the client attempts to read the input\nfile from its file system, and it sends the contents of the input file to the\nMariaDB Server. This allows you to load files from the client\'s local file\nsystem into the database.\n\nIf you don\'t want to permit this operation (perhaps for security reasons), you\ncan disable the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement on either the server or the\nclient.\n\n* The LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement can be disabled on the server by\nsetting the local_infile system variable to 0.\n* The LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement can be disabled on the client. If you\nare using MariaDB Connector/C, this can be done by unsetting the\nCLIENT_LOCAL_FILES capability flag with the mysql_real_connect function or by\nunsetting the MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE option with mysql_optionsv function. If\nyou are using a different client or client library, then see the documentation\nfor your specific client or client library to determine how it handles the\nLOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement.\n\nIf the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement is disabled by either the server or\nthe client and if the user attempts to execute it, then the server will cause\nthe statement to fail with the following error message:\n\nThe used command is not allowed with this MariaDB version\n\nNote that it is not entirely accurate to say that the MariaDB version does not\nsupport the command. It would be more accurate to say that the MariaDB\nconfiguration does not support the command. See MDEV-20500 for more\ninformation.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.2, the error message is more accurate:\n\nThe used command is not allowed because the MariaDB server or client \n has disabled the local infile capability\n\nREPLACE and IGNORE\n------------------\n\nIf you load data from a file into a table that already contains data and has a\nprimary key, you may encounter issues where the statement attempts to insert a\nrow with a primary key that already exists. When this happens, the statement\nfails with Error 1064, protecting the data already on the table. If you want\nMariaDB to overwrite duplicates, use the REPLACE keyword.\n\nThe REPLACE keyword works like the REPLACE statement. Here, the statement\nattempts to load the data from the file. If the row does not exist, it adds it\nto the table. If the row contains an existing primary key, it replaces the\ntable data. That is, in the event of a conflict, it assumes the file contains\nthe desired row.\n\nThis operation can cause a degradation in load speed by a factor of 20 or more\nif the part that has already been loaded is larger than the capacity of the\nInnoDB Buffer Pool. This happens because it causes a lot of turnaround in the\nbuffer pool.\n\nUse the IGNORE keyword when you want to skip any rows that contain a\nconflicting primary key. Here, the statement attempts to load the data from\nthe file. If the row does not exist, it adds it to the table. If the row\ncontains an existing primary key, it ignores the addition request and moves on\nto the next. That is, in the event of a conflict, it assumes the table\ncontains the desired row.\n\nCharacter-sets\n--------------\n\nWhen the statement opens the file, it attempts to read the contents using the\ndefault character-set, as defined by the character_set_database system\nvariable.\n\nIn the cases where the file was written using a character-set other than the\ndefault, you can specify the character-set to use with the CHARACTER SET\nclause in the statement. It ignores character-sets specified by the SET NAMES\nstatement and by the character_set_client system variable. Setting the\nCHARACTER SET clause to a value of binary indicates \"no conversion.\"\n\nThe statement interprets all fields in the file as having the same\ncharacter-set, regardless of the column data type. To properly interpret file\ncontents, you must ensure that it was written with the correct character-set.\nIf you write a data file with mysqldump -T or with the SELECT INTO OUTFILE\nstatement with the mysql client, be sure to use the --default-character-set\noption, so that the output is written with the desired character-set.\n\nWhen using mixed character sets, use the CHARACTER SET clause in both SELECT\nINTO OUTFILE and LOAD DATA INFILE to ensure that MariaDB correctly interprets\nthe escape sequences.\n\nThe character_set_filesystem system variable controls the interpretation of\nthe filename.\n\nIt is currently not possible to load data files that use the ucs2 character\nset.\n\nPreprocessing Inputs\n--------------------\n\ncol_name_or_user_var can be a column name, or a user variable. In the case of\na variable, the SET statement can be used to preprocess the value before\nloading into the table.\n\nPriority and Concurrency\n------------------------\n\nIn storage engines that perform table-level locking (MyISAM, MEMORY and\nMERGE), using the LOW_PRIORITY keyword, MariaDB delays insertions until no\nother clients are reading from the table. Alternatively, when using the MyISAM\nstorage engine, you can use the CONCURRENT keyword to perform concurrent\ninsertion.\n\nThe LOW_PRIORITY and CONCURRENT keywords are mutually exclusive. They cannot\nbe used in the same statement.\n\nProgress Reporting\n------------------\n\nThe LOAD DATA INFILE statement supports progress reporting. You may find this\nuseful when dealing with long-running operations. Using another client you can\nissue a SHOW PROCESSLIST query to check the progress of the data load.\n\nUsing mariadb-import/mysqlimport\n--------------------------------\n\nMariaDB ships with a separate utility for loading data from files:\nmariadb-import (or mysqlimport before MariaDB 10.5). It operates by sending\nLOAD DATA INFILE statements to the server.\n\nUsing mariadb-import/mysqlimport you can compress the file using the\n--compress option, to get better performance over slow networks, providing\nboth the client and server support the compressed protocol. Use the --local\noption to load from the local file system.\n\nIndexing\n--------\n\nIn cases where the storage engine supports ALTER TABLE... DISABLE KEYS\nstatements (MyISAM and Aria), the LOAD DATA INFILE statement automatically\ndisables indexes during the execution.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nYou have a file with this content (note the the separator is \',\', not tab,\nwhich is the default):\n\n2,2\n3,3\n4,4\n5,5\n6,8\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a int, b int, c int, d int, PRIMARY KEY (a));\nLOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \n \'/tmp/loaddata7.dat\' INTO TABLE t1 FIELDS TERMINATED BY \',\' (a,b) SET c=a+b;\nSELECT * FROM t1;\n+------+------+------+\n| a | b | c |\n+------+------+------+\n| 2 | 2 | 4 |\n| 3 | 3 | 6 |\n| 4 | 4 | 8 |\n| 5 | 5 | 10 |\n| 6 | 8 | 14 |\n+------+------+------+\n\nAnother example, given the following data (the separator is a tab):\n\n1 a\n2 b\n\nThe value of the first column is doubled before loading:\n\nLOAD DATA INFILE \'ld.txt\' INTO TABLE ld (@i,v) SET i=@i*2;\n\nSELECT * FROM ld;\n+------+------+\n| i | v |\n+------+------+\n| 2 | a |\n| 4 | b |\n+------+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/load-data-infile/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/load-data-infile/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (449,27,'LOAD XML','Syntax\n------\n\nLOAD XML [LOW_PRIORITY | CONCURRENT] [LOCAL] INFILE \'file_name\'\n [REPLACE | IGNORE]\n INTO TABLE [db_name.]tbl_name\n [CHARACTER SET charset_name]\n [ROWS IDENTIFIED BY \'<tagname>\']\n [IGNORE number {LINES | ROWS}]\n [(column_or_user_var,...)]\n [SET col_name = expr,...]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe LOAD XML statement reads data from an XML file into a table. The file_name\nmust be given as a literal string. The tagname in the optional ROWS IDENTIFIED\nBY clause must also be given as a literal string, and must be surrounded by\nangle brackets (< and >).\n\nLOAD XML acts as the complement of running the mysql client in XML output mode\n(that is, starting the client with the --xml option). To write data from a\ntable to an XML file, use a command such as the following one from the system\nshell:\n\nshell> mysql --xml -e \'SELECT * FROM mytable\' > file.xml\n\nTo read the file back into a table, use LOAD XML INFILE. By default, the <row>\nelement is considered to be the equivalent of a database table row; this can\nbe changed using the ROWS IDENTIFIED BY clause.\n\nThis statement supports three different XML formats:\n\n* Column names as attributes and column values as attribute values:\n\n<row column1=\"value1\" column2=\"value2\" .../>\n\n* Column names as tags and column values as the content of these tags:\n\n<row>\n <column1>value1</column1>\n <column2>value2</column2>\n</row>\n\n* Column names are the name attributes of <field> tags, and values are\n the contents of these tags:\n\n<row>\n <field name=\'column1\'>value1</field>\n <field name=\'column2\'>value2</field>\n</row>\n\nThis is the format used by other tools, such as mysqldump.\n\nAll 3 formats can be used in the same XML file; the import routine\nautomatically detects the format for each row and interprets it correctly.\nTags are matched based on the tag or attribute name and the column name.\n\nThe following clauses work essentially the same way for LOAD XML as they do\nfor LOAD DATA:\n\n* LOW_PRIORITY or CONCURRENT\n* LOCAL\n* REPLACE or IGNORE\n* CHARACTER SET\n* (column_or_user_var,...)\n* SET\n\nSee LOAD DATA for more information about these clauses.\n\nThe IGNORE number LINES or IGNORE number ROWS clause causes the first number\nrows in the XML file to be skipped. It is analogous to the LOAD DATA\nstatement\'s IGNORE ... LINES clause.\n\nIf the LOW_PRIORITY keyword is used, insertions are delayed until no other\nclients are reading from the table.

These special comments allow you to embed SQL code which\nwill not execute when run on other databases, but will execute when run on\nMariaDB.\n\nMariaDB supports both MySQL\'s executable comment format, and a slightly\nmodified version specific to MariaDB. This way, if you have SQL code that\nworks on MySQL and MariaDB, but not other databases, you can wrap it in a\nMySQL executable comment, and if you have code that specifically takes\nadvantage of features only available in MariaDB you can use the MariaDB\nspecific format to hide the code from MySQL.\n\nExecutable Comment Syntax\n-------------------------\n\nMySQL and MariaDB executable comment syntax:\n\n/*!

It is available for at\nleast Aria, Memory, MyISAM and InnoDB tables (and should work with most\n\'normal\' storage engines, but not with system tables, MERGE or views).\n\nHANDLER ... OPEN opens a table, allowing it to be accessible to subsequent\nHANDLER ... READ statements. The table can either be opened using an alias\n(which must then be used by HANDLER ... READ, or a table name.\n\nThe table object is only closed when HANDLER ... CLOSE is called by the\nsession, and is not shared by other sessions.\n\nPrepared statements work with HANDLER READ, which gives a much higher\nperformance (50% speedup) as there is no parsing and all data is transformed\nin binary (without conversions to text, as with the normal protocol).\n\nThe HANDLER command does not work with partitioned tables.\n\nKey Lookup\n----------\n\nA key lookup is started with:\n\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name { = | >= | <= | < } (value,value) [LIMIT...]\n\nThe values stands for the value of each of the key columns. For most key types\n(except for HASH keys in MEMORY storage engine) you can use a prefix subset of\nit\'s columns.\n\nIf you are using LIMIT, then in case of >= or > then there is an implicit NEXT\nimplied, while if you are using <= or < then there is an implicit PREV implied.\n\nAfter the initial read, you can use\n\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name NEXT [ LIMIT ... ]\nor\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name PREV [ LIMIT ... ]\n\nto scan the rows in key order.\n\nNote that the row order is not defined for keys with duplicated values and\nwill vary from engine to engine.\n\nKey Scans\n---------\n\nYou can scan a table in key order by doing:\n\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name FIRST [ LIMIT ... ]\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name NEXT [ LIMIT ... ]\n\nor, if the handler supports backwards key scans (most do):\n\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name LAST [ LIMIT ... ]\nHANDLER tbl_name READ index_name PREV [ LIMIT ... ]\n\nTable Scans\n-----------\n\nYou can scan a table in row order by doing:\n\nHANDLER tbl_name READ FIRST [ LIMIT ... ]\nHANDLER tbl_name READ NEXT [ LIMIT ... ]\n\nLimitations\n-----------\n\nAs this is a direct interface to the storage engine, some limitations may\napply for what you can do and what happens if the table changes. Here follows\nsome of the common limitations:\n\nFinding \'Old Rows\'\n------------------\n\nHANDLER READ is not transaction safe, consistent or atomic. It\'s ok for the\nstorage engine to returns rows that existed when you started the scan but that\nwere later deleted. This can happen as the storage engine may cache rows as\npart of the scan from a previous read.\n\nYou may also find rows committed since the scan originally started.\n\nInvisible Columns\n-----------------\n\nHANDLER ... READ also reads the data of invisible-columns.\n\nSystem-Versioned Tables\n-----------------------\n\nHANDLER ...

ANALYZE statement\nwill invoke the optimizer, execute the statement, and then produce EXPLAIN\noutput instead of the result set. The EXPLAIN output will be annotated with\nstatistics from statement execution.\n\nThis lets one check how close the optimizer\'s estimates about the query plan\nare to the reality. ANALYZE produces an overview, while the ANALYZE\nFORMAT=JSON command provides a more detailed view of the query plan and the\nquery execution.\n\nThe syntax is\n\nANALYZE explainable_statement;\n\nwhere the statement is any statement for which one can run EXPLAIN.\n\nCommand Output\n--------------\n\nConsider an example:\n\nANALYZE SELECT * FROM tbl1 \nWHERE key1 \n BETWEEN 10 AND 200 AND\n col1 LIKE \'foo%\'\\G\n\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\n id: 1\n select_type: SIMPLE\n table: tbl1\n type: range\npossible_keys: key1\n key: key1\n key_len: 5\n ref: NULL\n rows: 181\n r_rows: 181\n filtered: 100.00\n r_filtered: 10.50\n Extra: Using index condition; Using where\n\nCompared to EXPLAIN, ANALYZE produces two extra columns:\n\n* r_rows is an observation-based counterpart of the rows column. It shows how\nmany rows were actually read from the table. \n* r_filtered is an observation-based counterpart of the filtered column. It\nshows which fraction of rows was left after applying the WHERE condition.\n\nInterpreting the Output\n-----------------------\n\nJoins\n-----\n\nLet\'s consider a more complicated example.\n\nANALYZE SELECT *\nFROM orders, customer \nWHERE\n customer.c_custkey=orders.o_custkey AND\n customer.c_acctbal < 0 AND\n orders.o_totalprice > 200*1000\n\n+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+-\n------------------+--------+--------+----------+------------+-------------+\n| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len |\nref | rows | r_rows | filtered | r_filtered | Extra |\n+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+-\n------------------+--------+--------+----------+------------+-------------+\n| 1 | SIMPLE | customer | ALL | PRIMARY,... | NULL | NULL |\nNULL | 149095 | 150000 | 18.08 | 9.13 | Using where |\n| 1 | SIMPLE | orders | ref | i_o_custkey | i_o_custkey | 5 |\ncustomer.c_custkey | 7 | 10 | 100.00 | 30.03 | Using where |\n+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+-\n------------------+--------+--------+----------+------------+-------------+\n\nHere, one can see that\n\n* For table customer, customer.rows=149095, customer.r_rows=150000. The\nestimate for number of rows we will read was fairly precise\n* customer.filtered=18.08, customer.r_filtered=9.13. The optimizer somewhat\noverestimated the number of records that will match selectivity of condition\nattached to `customer` table (in general, when you have a full scan and\nr_filtered is less than 15%, it\'s time to consider adding an appropriate\nindex).\n* For table orders, orders.rows=7, orders.r_rows=10. This means that on\naverage, there are 7 orders for a given c_custkey, but in our case there were\n10, which is close to the expectation (when this number is consistently far\nfrom the expectation, it may be time to run ANALYZE TABLE, or even edit the\ntable statistics manually to get better query plans).\n* orders.filtered=100, orders.r_filtered=30.03. The optimizer didn\'t have any\nway to estimate which fraction of records will be left after it checks the\ncondition that is attached to table orders (it\'s orders.o_totalprice >\n200*1000). So, it used 100%. In reality, it is 30%. 30% is typically not\nselective enough to warrant adding new indexes. For joins with many tables, it\nmight be worth to collect and use column statistics for columns in question,\nthis may help the optimizer to pick a better query plan.\n\nMeaning of NULL in r_rows and r_filtered\n----------------------------------------\n\nLet\'s modify the previous example slightly\n\nANALYZE SELECT * \nFROM orders, customer \nWHERE\n customer.c_custkey=orders.o_custkey AND\n customer.c_acctbal < -0 AND\n customer.c_comment LIKE \'%foo%\' AND\n orders.o_totalprice > 200*1000;\n\n+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+-\n------------------+--------+--------+----------+------------+-------------+\n| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len |\nref | rows | r_rows | filtered | r_filtered | Extra |\n+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+-\n------------------+--------+--------+----------+------------+-------------+\n| 1 | SIMPLE | customer | ALL | PRIMARY,... | NULL | NULL |\nNULL | 149095 | 150000 | 18.08 | 0.00 | Using where |\n| 1 | SIMPLE | orders | ref | i_o_custkey | i_o_custkey | 5 |\ncustomer.c_custkey | 7 | NULL | 100.00 | NULL | Using where |\n+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+-\n------------------+--------+--------+----------+------------+-------------+\n\nHere, one can see that orders.r_rows=NULL and orders.r_filtered=NULL. This\nmeans that table orders was not scanned even once. Indeed, we can also see\ncustomer.r_filtered=0.00. This shows that a part of WHERE attached to table\n`customer` was never satisfied (or, satisfied in less than 0.01% of cases).\n\nANALYZE FORMAT=JSON\n-------------------\n\nANALYZE FORMAT=JSON produces JSON output. It produces much more information\nthan tabular ANALYZE.\n\nNotes\n-----\n\n* ANALYZE UPDATE or ANALYZE DELETE will actually make updates/deletes (ANALYZE\nSELECT will perform the select operation and then discard the resultset).\n* PostgreSQL has a similar command, EXPLAIN ANALYZE.\n* The EXPLAIN in the slow query log feature allows MariaDB to have ANALYZE\noutput of slow queries printed into the slow query log (see MDEV-6388).\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/analyze-statement/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/analyze-statement/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (466,28,'EXPLAIN','Syntax\n------\n\nEXPLAIN tbl_name [col_name | wild]\n\nOr\n\nEXPLAIN [EXTENDED | PARTITIONS | FORMAT=JSON] \n {SELECT select_options | UPDATE update_options | DELETE delete_options}\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a synonym for DESCRIBE or as a way\nto obtain information about how MariaDB executes a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE\nstatement:\n\n* \'EXPLAIN tbl_name\' is synonymous with \n \'DESCRIBE tbl_name\' or\n \'SHOW COLUMNS FROM tbl_name\'.\n* When you precede a SELECT, UPDATE or a DELETE statement with the keyword \n EXPLAIN, MariaDB displays information from the optimizer\n about the query execution plan.

This is bad if the table is |\n| | large and the table is joined against a previous |\n| | table! This happens when the optimizer could |\n| | not find any usable index to access rows. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| const | There is only one possibly matching row in the |\n| | table. The row is read before the optimization |\n| | phase and all columns in the table are treated |\n| | as constants. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| eq_ref | A unique index is used to find the rows. This is |\n| | the best possible plan to find the row. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| fulltext | A fulltext index is used to access the rows. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| index_merge | A \'range\' access is done for for several index |\n| | and the found rows are merged. The key column |\n| | shows which keys are used. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| index_subquery | This is similar as ref, but used for sub queries |\n| | that are transformed to key lookups. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| index | A full scan over the used index. Better than |\n| | ALL but still bad if index is large and the |\n| | table is joined against a previous table. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| range | The table will be accessed with a key over one |\n| | or more value ranges. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| ref_or_null | Like \'ref\' but in addition another search for |\n| | the \'null\' value is done if the first value was |\n| | not found. This happens usually with sub queries. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| ref | A non unique index or prefix of an unique index |\n| | is used to find the rows. Good if the prefix |\n| | doesn\'t match many rows. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| system | The table has 0 or 1 rows. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| unique_subquery | This is similar as eq_ref, but used for sub |\n| | queries that are transformed to key lookups |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n\n\"Extra\" Column\n--------------\n\nThis column consists of one or more of the following values, separated by \';\'\n\nNote that some of these values are detected after the optimization phase.\n\nThe optimization phase can do the following changes to the WHERE clause:\n\n* Add the expressions from the ON and USING clauses to the WHERE\n clause.\n* Constant propagation: If there is column=constant, replace all column\n instances with this constant.\n* Replace all columns from \'const\' tables with their values.\n* Remove the used key columns from the WHERE (as this will be tested as\n part of the key lookup).\n* Remove impossible constant sub expressions.\n For example WHERE \'(a=1 and a=2) OR b=1\' becomes \'b=1\'.\n* Replace columns with other columns that has identical values:\n Example: WHERE a=b and a=c may be treated\n as \'WHERE a=b and a=c and b=c\'.\n* Add extra conditions to detect impossible row conditions earlier. This\n happens mainly with OUTER JOIN where we in some cases add detection\n of NULL values in the WHERE (Part of \'Not exists\' optimization).\n This can cause an unexpected \'Using where\' in the Extra column.\n* For each table level we remove expressions that have already been tested when\n we read the previous row. Example: When joining tables t1 with t2\n using the following WHERE \'t1.a=1 and t1.a=t2.b\', we don\'t have to\n test \'t1.a=1\' when checking rows in t2 as we already know that this\n expression is true.\n\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Value | Description |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| const row not found | The table was a system table (a table with |\n| | should exactly one row), but no row was found. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Distinct | If distinct optimization (remove duplicates) was |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/explain/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| | used. This is marked only for the last table in |\n| | the SELECT. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Full scan on NULL key | The table is a part of the sub query and if the |\n| | value that is used to match the sub query will |\n| | be NULL, we will do a full table scan. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Impossible HAVING | The used HAVING clause is always false so the |\n| | SELECT will return no rows. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Impossible WHERE | The used WHERE clause is always false so the |\n| noticed after reading | SELECT will return no rows. This case was |\n| const tables. | detected after we had read all \'const\' tables |\n| | and used the column values as constant in the |\n| | WHERE clause. For example: WHERE const_column=5 |\n| | and const_column had a value of 4. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Impossible WHERE | The used WHERE clause is always false so the |\n| | SELECT will return no rows. For example: WHERE |\n| | 1=2 |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| No matching min/max | During early optimization of MIN()/MAX() values |\n| row | it was detected that no row could match the |\n| | WHERE clause. The MIN()/MAX() function will |\n| | return NULL. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| no matching row in | The table was a const table (a table with only |\n| const table | one possible matching row), but no row was found. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| No tables used | The SELECT was a sub query that did not use any |\n| | tables. For example a there was no FROM clause |\n| | or a FROM DUAL clause. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Not exists | Stop searching after more row if we find one |\n| | single matching row. This optimization is used |\n| | with LEFT JOIN where one is explicitly searching |\n| | for rows that doesn\'t exists in the LEFT JOIN |\n| | TABLE. Example: SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 on |\n| | (...) WHERE t2.not_null_column IS NULL. As |\n| | t2.not_null_column can only be NULL if there was |\n| | no matching row for on condition, we can stop |\n| | searching if we find a single matching row. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Open_frm_only | For information_schema tables. Only the frm |\n| | (table definition file was opened) was opened |\n| | for each matching row. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Open_full_table | For information_schema tables. A full table open |\n| | for each matching row is done to retrieve the |\n| | requested information. (Slow) |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Open_trigger_only | For information_schema tables. Only the trigger |\n| | file definition was opened for each matching row. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Range checked for | This only happens when there was no good default |\n| each record (index | index to use but there may some index that could |\n| map: ...) | be used when we can treat all columns from |\n| | previous table as constants. For each row |\n| | combination the optimizer will decide which |\n| | index to use (if any) to fetch a row from this |\n| | table. This is not fast, but faster than a full |\n| | table scan that is the only other choice. The |\n| | index map is a bitmask that shows which index |\n| | are considered for each row condition. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Scanned 0/1/all | For information_schema tables. Shows how many |\n| databases | times we had to do a directory scan. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Select tables | All tables in the join was optimized away. This |\n| optimized away | happens when we are only using COUNT(*), MIN() |\n| | and MAX() functions in the SELECT and we where |\n| | able to replace all of these with constants. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Skip_open_table | For information_schema tables. The queried table |\n| | didn\'t need to be opened. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| unique row not found | The table was detected to be a const table (a |\n| | table with only one possible matching row) |\n| | during the early optimization phase, but no row |\n| | was found. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using filesort | Filesort is needed to resolve the query. This |\n| | means an extra phase where we first collect all |\n| | columns to sort, sort them with a disk based |\n| | merge sort and then use the sorted set to |\n| | retrieve the rows in sorted order. If the column |\n| | set is small, we store all the columns in the |\n| | sort file to not have to go to the database to |\n| | retrieve them again. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using index | Only the index is used to retrieve the needed |\n| | information from the table. There is no need to |\n| | perform an extra seek to retrieve the actual |\n| | record. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using index condition | Like \'Using where\' but the where condition is |\n| | pushed down to the table engine for internal |\n| | optimization at the index level. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using index | Like \'Using index condition\' but in addition we |\n| condition(BKA) | use batch key access to retrieve rows. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using index for | The index is being used to resolve a GROUP BY or |\n| group-by | DISTINCT query. The rows are not read. This is |\n| | very efficient if the table has a lot of |\n| | identical index entries as duplicates are |\n| | quickly jumped over. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using intersect(...) | For index_merge joins. Shows which index are |\n| | part of the intersect. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using join buffer | We store previous row combinations in a row |\n| | buffer to be able to match each row against all |\n| | of the rows combinations in the join buffer at |\n| | one go. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using sort_union(...) | For index_merge joins. Shows which index are |\n| | part of the union. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using temporary | A temporary table is created to hold the result. |\n| | This typically happens if you are using GROUP |\n| | BY, DISTINCT or ORDER BY. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using where | A WHERE expression (in additional to the |\n| | possible key lookup) is used to check if the row |\n| | should be accepted. If you don\'t have \'Using |\n| | where\' together with a join type of ALL, you are |\n| | probably doing something wrong! |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using where with | Like \'Using where\' but the where condition is |\n| pushed condition | pushed down to the table engine for internal |\n| | optimization at the row level. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Using buffer | The UPDATE statement will first buffer the rows, |\n| | and then run the updates, rather than do updates |\n| | on the fly. See Using Buffer UPDATE Algorithm |\n| | for a detailed explanation. |\n+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+\n\nEXPLAIN EXTENDED\n----------------\n\nThe EXTENDED keyword adds another column, filtered, to the output. This is a\npercentage estimate of the table rows that will be filtered by the condition.\n\nAn EXPLAIN EXTENDED will always throw a warning, as it adds extra Message\ninformation to a subsequent SHOW WARNINGS statement. This includes what the\nSELECT query would look like after optimizing and rewriting rules are applied\nand how the optimizer qualifies columns and tables.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nAs synonym for DESCRIBE or SHOW COLUMNS FROM:\n\nDESCRIBE city;\n+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+\n| Id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |\n| Name | char(35) | YES | | NULL | |\n| Country | char(3) | NO | UNI | | |\n| District | char(20) | YES | MUL | | |\n| Population | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |\n+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+\n\nA simple set of examples to see how EXPLAIN can identify poor index usage:\n\nCREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `employees_example` (\n `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,\n `first_name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,\n `last_name` varchar(40) NOT NULL,\n `position` varchar(25) NOT NULL,\n `home_address` varchar(50) NOT NULL,\n `home_phone` varchar(12) NOT NULL,\n `employee_code` varchar(25) NOT NULL,\n PRIMARY KEY (`id`),\n UNIQUE KEY `employee_code` (`employee_code`),\n KEY `first_name` (`first_name`,`last_name`)\n) ENGINE=Aria;\n\nINSERT INTO `employees_example` (`first_name`, `last_name`, `position`,\n`home_address`, `home_phone`, `employee_code`)\n VALUES\n (\'Mustapha\', \'Mond\', \'Chief Executive Officer\', \'692 Promiscuous Plaza\',\n\'326-555-3492\', \'MM1\'),\n (\'Henry\', \'Foster\', \'Store Manager\', \'314 Savage Circle\', \'326-555-3847\',\n\'HF1\'),\n (\'Bernard\', \'Marx\', \'Cashier\', \'1240 Ambient Avenue\', \'326-555-8456\', \'BM1\'),\n (\'Lenina\', \'Crowne\', \'Cashier\', \'281 Bumblepuppy Boulevard\', \'328-555-2349\',\n\'LC1\'),\n (\'Fanny\', \'Crowne\', \'Restocker\', \'1023 Bokanovsky Lane\', \'326-555-6329\',\n\'FC1\'),\n (\'Helmholtz\', \'Watson\', \'Janitor\', \'944 Soma Court\', \'329-555-2478\', \'HW1\');\n\nSHOW INDEXES FROM employees_example;\n+-------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+--------------\n+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+--\n------------+\n| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name \n | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment |\nIndex_comment |\n+-------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+--------------\n+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+--\n------------+\n| employees_example | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | id \n | A | 7 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |\n |\n| employees_example | 0 | employee_code | 1 |\nemployee_code | A | 7 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE \n | | |\n| employees_example | 1 | first_name | 1 | first_name \n | A | NULL | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |\n |') WHERE help_topic_id = 466; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| employees_example | 1 | first_name | 2 | last_name \n | A | NULL | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |\n |\n+-------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+--------------\n+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+--\n------------+\n\nSELECT on a primary key:\n\nEXPLAIN SELECT * FROM employees_example WHERE id=1;\n+------+-------------+-------------------+-------+---------------+---------+---\n-----+-------+------+-------+\n| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key |\nkey_len | ref | rows | Extra |\n+------+-------------+-------------------+-------+---------------+---------+---\n-----+-------+------+-------+\n| 1 | SIMPLE | employees_example | const | PRIMARY | PRIMARY | 4\n | const | 1 | |\n+------+-------------+-------------------+-------+---------------+---------+---\n-----+-------+------+-------+\n\nThe type is const, which means that only one possible result could be\nreturned.

This means that no one can access user-defined variables\nthat have been set by another user, and when the session is closed these\nvariables expire. However, these variables can be shared between several\nqueries and stored programs.\n\nUser-defined variables names must be preceded by a single at character (@).\nWhile it is safe to use a reserved word as a user-variable name, the only\nallowed characters are ASCII letters, digits, dollar sign ($), underscore (_)\nand dot (.). If other characters are used, the name can be quoted in one of\nthe following ways:\n\n* @`var_name`\n* @\'var_name\'\n* @\"var_name\"\n\nThese characters can be escaped as usual.\n\nUser-variables names are case insensitive, though they were case sensitive in\nMySQL 4.1 and older versions.\n\nUser-defined variables cannot be declared. They can be read even if no value\nhas been set yet; in that case, they are NULL. To set a value for a\nuser-defined variable you can use:\n\n* SET statement;\n* := operator within a SQL statement;\n* SELECT ... INTO.\n\nSince user-defined variables type cannot be declared, the only way to force\ntheir type is using CAST() or CONVERT():\n\nSET @str = CAST(123 AS CHAR(5));\n\nIf a variable has not been used yet, its value is NULL:\n\nSELECT @x IS NULL;\n+------------+\n| @x IS NULL |\n+------------+\n| 1 |\n+------------+\n\nIt is unsafe to read a user-defined variable and set its value in the same\nstatement (unless the command is SET), because the order of these actions is\nundefined.\n\nUser-defined variables can be used in most MariaDB\'s statements and clauses\nwhich accept an SQL expression. However there are some exceptions, like the\nLIMIT clause.\n\nThey must be used to PREPARE a prepared statement:\n\n@sql = \'DELETE FROM my_table WHERE c>1;\';\nPREPARE stmt FROM @sql;\nEXECUTE stmt;\nDEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;\n\nAnother common use is to include a counter in a query:\n\nSET @var = 0;\nSELECT a, b, c, (@var:=@var+1) AS counter FROM my_table;\n\nInformation Schema\n------------------\n\nUser-defined variables can be viewed in the Information Schema USER_VARIABLES\nTable (as part of the User Variables plugin) from MariaDB 10.2.\n\nFlushing User-Defined Variables\n-------------------------------\n\nUser-defined variables are reset and the Information Schema table emptied with\nthe FLUSH USER_VARIABLES statement.\n\nSET @str = CAST(123 AS CHAR(5));\n\nSELECT * FROM information_schema.USER_VARIABLES ORDER BY VARIABLE_NAME;\n+---------------+----------------+---------------+--------------------+\n| VARIABLE_NAME | VARIABLE_VALUE | VARIABLE_TYPE | CHARACTER_SET_NAME |\n+---------------+----------------+---------------+--------------------+\n| str | 123 | VARCHAR | utf8mb3 |\n+---------------+----------------+---------------+--------------------+\n\nFLUSH USER_VARIABLES;\n\nSELECT * FROM information_schema.USER_VARIABLES ORDER BY VARIABLE_NAME;\nEmpty set (0.000 sec)\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/user-defined-variables/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/user-defined-variables/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (483,29,'Delimiters','The default delimiter in the mysql client (from MariaDB 10.4.6, also called\nmariadb) is the semicolon.\n\nWhen creating stored programs from the command-line, it is likely you will\nneed to differentiate between the regular delimiter and a delimiter inside a\nBEGIN END block.

The datetime precision of a\ncolumn can be specified when creating the table with CREATE TABLE, for example:\n\nCREATE TABLE example(\n col_microsec DATETIME(6),\n col_millisec TIME(3)\n);\n\nGenerally, the precision can be specified for any TIME, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP\ncolumn, in parentheses, after the type name. The datetime precision specifies\nnumber of digits after the decimal dot and can be any integer number from 0 to\n6. If no precision is specified it is assumed to be 0, for backward\ncompatibility reasons.\n\nA datetime precision can be specified wherever a type name is used. For\nexample:\n\n* when declaring arguments of stored routines.\n* when specifying a return type of a stored function.\n* when declaring variables.\n* in a CAST function:create function example(x datetime(5)) returns time(4)\nbegin\n declare y timestamp(6);\n return cast(x as time(2));\nend;\n\n%f is used as the formatting option for microseconds in the STR_TO_DATE,\nDATE_FORMAT and FROM_UNIXTIME functions, for example:\n\nSELECT STR_TO_DATE(\'20200809 020917076\',\'%Y%m%d %H%i%s%f\');\n+-----------------------------------------------------+\n| STR_TO_DATE(\'20200809 020917076\',\'%Y%m%d %H%i%s%f\') |\n+-----------------------------------------------------+\n| 2020-08-09 02:09:17.076000 |\n+-----------------------------------------------------+\n\nAdditional Information\n----------------------\n\n* when comparing anything to a temporal value (DATETIME, TIME, DATE, or\nTIMESTAMP), both values are compared as temporal values, not as strings.\n* The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS table has a new column DATETIME_PRECISION\n* NOW(), CURTIME(), UTC_TIMESTAMP(), UTC_TIME(), CURRENT_TIME(),\nCURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), LOCALTIME() and LOCALTIMESTAMP() now accept datetime\nprecision as an optional argument. For example:SELECT CURTIME(4);\n--> 10:11:12.3456\n\n* TIME_TO_SEC() and UNIX_TIMESTAMP() preserve microseconds of the argument.\nThese functions will return a decimal number if the result non-zero datetime\nprecision and an integer otherwise (for backward compatibility).SELECT\nTIME_TO_SEC(\'10:10:10.12345\');\n--> 36610.12345\n\n* Current versions of this patch fix a bug in the following optimization: in\n certain queries with DISTINCT MariaDB can ignore this clause if it can\n prove that all result rows are unique anyway, for example, when a primary key\n is compared with a constant. Sometimes this optimization was applied\n incorrectly, though — for example, when comparing a\n string with a date constant. This is now fixed.\n* DATE_ADD() and DATE_SUB() functions can now take a TIME\n expression as an argument (not just DATETIME as before).SELECT\nTIME(\'10:10:10\') + INTERVAL 100 MICROSECOND;\n--> 10:10:10.000100\n\n* The event_time field in the mysql.general_log table and the start_time,\nquery_time, and lock_time fields in the mysql.slow_log table now store values\nwith microsecond precision.\n* This patch fixed a bug when comparing a temporal value using the BETWEEN\noperator and one of the operands is NULL.\n* The old syntax TIMESTAMP(N), where N is the display width, is no longer\nsupported. It was deprecated in MySQL 4.1.0 (released on\n 2003-04-03).\n* when a DATETIME value is compared to a TIME value, the latter is treated as\na full datetime with a zero date part, similar to comparing DATE to a\nDATETIME, or to comparing DECIMAL numbers.\n Earlier versions of MariaDB used to compare only the time part of both\noperands in such a case.\n* In MariaDB, an extra column TIME_MS has been added to the\nINFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table, as well as to the output of SHOW FULL\nPROCESSLIST.\n\nNote: When you convert a temporal value to a value with a smaller precision,\nit will be truncated, not rounded. This is done to guarantee that the date\npart is not changed. For example:\n\nSELECT CAST(\'2009-12-31 23:59:59.998877\' as DATETIME(3));\n-> 2009-12-31 23:59:59.998\n\nMySQL 5.6 Microseconds\n----------------------\n\nMySQL 5.6 introduced microseconds using a slightly different implementation to\nMariaDB 5.3. Since MariaDB 10.1, MariaDB has defaulted to the MySQL format, by\nmeans of the --mysql56-temporal-format variable.

(Within a stored routine or trigger,\nNOW() returns the time at which the routine or triggering statement began to\nexecute.)\n\nIn addition, changing the timestamp system variable with a SET timestamp\nstatement affects the value returned by NOW() but not by SYSDATE(). This means\nthat timestamp settings in the binary log have no effect on invocations of\nSYSDATE().\n\nBecause SYSDATE() can return different values even within the same statement,\nand is not affected by SET TIMESTAMP, it is non-deterministic and therefore\nunsafe for replication if statement-based binary logging is used. If that is a\nproblem, you can use row-based logging, or start the server with the mysqld\noption --sysdate-is-now to cause SYSDATE() to be an alias for NOW(). The\nnon-deterministic nature of SYSDATE() also means that indexes cannot be used\nfor evaluating expressions that refer to it, and that statements using the\nSYSDATE() function are unsafe for statement-based replication.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nDifference between NOW() and SYSDATE():\n\nSELECT NOW(), SLEEP(2), NOW();\n+---------------------+----------+---------------------+\n| NOW() | SLEEP(2) | NOW() |\n+---------------------+----------+---------------------+\n| 2010-03-27 13:23:40 | 0 | 2010-03-27 13:23:40 |\n+---------------------+----------+---------------------+\n\nSELECT SYSDATE(), SLEEP(2), SYSDATE();\n+---------------------+----------+---------------------+\n| SYSDATE() | SLEEP(2) | SYSDATE() |\n+---------------------+----------+---------------------+\n| 2010-03-27 13:23:52 | 0 | 2010-03-27 13:23:54 |\n+---------------------+----------+---------------------+\n\nWith precision:\n\nSELECT SYSDATE(4);\n+--------------------------+\n| SYSDATE(4) |\n+--------------------------+\n| 2018-07-10 10:17:13.1689 |\n+--------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/sysdate/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/sysdate/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (550,31,'TIME Function','Syntax\n------\n\nTIME(expr)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nExtracts the time part of the time or datetime expression expr and returns it\nas a string.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT TIME(\'2003-12-31 01:02:03\');\n+-----------------------------+\n| TIME(\'2003-12-31 01:02:03\') |\n+-----------------------------+\n| 01:02:03 |\n+-----------------------------+\n\nSELECT TIME(\'2003-12-31 01:02:03.000123\');\n+------------------------------------+\n| TIME(\'2003-12-31 01:02:03.000123\') |\n+------------------------------------+\n| 01:02:03.000123 |\n+------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/time-function/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/time-function/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (551,31,'TIMEDIFF','Syntax\n------\n\nTIMEDIFF(expr1,expr2)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nTIMEDIFF() returns expr1 - expr2 expressed as a time value. expr1 and expr2\nare time or date-and-time expressions, but both must be of the same type.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT TIMEDIFF(\'2000:01:01 00:00:00\', \'2000:01:01 00:00:00.000001\');\n+---------------------------------------------------------------+\n| TIMEDIFF(\'2000:01:01 00:00:00\', \'2000:01:01 00:00:00.000001\') |\n+---------------------------------------------------------------+\n| -00:00:00.000001 |\n+---------------------------------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT TIMEDIFF(\'2008-12-31 23:59:59.000001\', \'2008-12-30 01:01:01.000002\');\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| TIMEDIFF(\'2008-12-31 23:59:59.000001\', \'2008-12-30 01:01:01.000002\') |\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| 46:58:57.999999 |\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/timediff/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/timediff/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (552,31,'TIMESTAMP FUNCTION','Syntax\n------\n\nTIMESTAMP(expr), TIMESTAMP(expr1,expr2)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nWith a single argument, this function returns the date or datetime expression\nexpr as a datetime value.

You can fix this by using\nFLOOR(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(..)) or changing the date string to a date number, like\n20080101000000.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP();\n+------------------+\n| UNIX_TIMESTAMP() |\n+------------------+\n| 1269711082 |\n+------------------+\n\nSELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\');\n+---------------------------------------+\n| UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\') |\n+---------------------------------------+\n| 1196436619.000000 |\n+---------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\"2007-11-30 10:30:19.123456\");\n+----------------------------------------------+\n| unix_timestamp(\"2007-11-30 10:30:19.123456\") |\n+----------------------------------------------+\n| 1196411419.123456 |\n+----------------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\'));\n+------------------------------------------------------+\n| FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\')) |\n+------------------------------------------------------+\n| 2007-11-30 10:30:19.000000 |\n+------------------------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(FLOOR(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\')));\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n| FROM_UNIXTIME(FLOOR(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\'))) |\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n| 2007-11-30 10:30:19 |\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/unix_timestamp/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/unix_timestamp/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (560,31,'UTC_DATE','Syntax\n------\n\nUTC_DATE, UTC_DATE()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the current UTC date as a value in \'YYYY-MM-DD\' or YYYYMMDD format,\ndepending on whether the function is used in a string or numeric context.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT UTC_DATE(), UTC_DATE() + 0;\n+------------+----------------+\n| UTC_DATE() | UTC_DATE() + 0 |\n+------------+----------------+\n| 2010-03-27 | 20100327 |\n+------------+----------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/utc_date/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/utc_date/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (561,31,'UTC_TIME','Syntax\n------\n\nUTC_TIME\nUTC_TIME([precision])\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the current UTC time as a value in \'HH:MM:SS\' or HHMMSS.uuuuuu format,\ndepending on whether the function is used in a string or numeric context.\n\nThe optional precision determines the microsecond precision.

MultiCurve and MultiSurface are introduced as abstract\nsuperclasses that generalize the collection interfaces to handle Curves and\nSurfaces.\n\nGeometry, Curve, Surface, MultiCurve, and MultiSurface are defined as\nnon-instantiable classes.

Currently, columns in spatial indexes must\nbe declared NOT NULL.\n\nSpatial indexes can be created when the table is created, or added after the\nfact like so:\n\n* with CREATE TABLE: CREATE TABLE geom (g GEOMETRY NOT NULL, SPATIAL INDEX(g));\n\n* with ALTER TABLE: ALTER TABLE geom ADD SPATIAL INDEX(g);\n\n* with CREATE INDEX: CREATE SPATIAL INDEX sp_index ON geom (g);\n\nSPATIAL INDEX creates an R-tree index. For storage engines that support\nnon-spatial indexing of spatial columns, the engine creates a B-tree index. A\nB-tree index on spatial values is useful for exact-value lookups, but not for\nrange scans.\n\nFor more information on indexing spatial columns, see CREATE INDEX.\n\nTo drop spatial indexes, use ALTER TABLE or DROP INDEX:\n\n* with ALTER TABLE: ALTER TABLE geom DROP INDEX g;\n\n* with DROP INDEX: DROP INDEX sp_index ON geom;\n\nData-at-Rest Encyption\n----------------------\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.4.3, InnoDB\'s spatial indexes could not be encrypted.

To produce a string in a\ngiven character set, use the optional USING clause:\n\nSELECT CHARSET(CHAR(0x65)), CHARSET(CHAR(0x65 USING utf8));\n+---------------------+--------------------------------+\n| CHARSET(CHAR(0x65)) | CHARSET(CHAR(0x65 USING utf8)) |\n+---------------------+--------------------------------+\n| binary | utf8 |\n+---------------------+--------------------------------+\n\nIf USING is given and the result string is illegal for the given character\nset, a warning is issued. Also, if strict SQL mode is enabled, the result from\nCHAR() becomes NULL.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT CHAR(77,97,114,\'105\',97,\'68\',66);\n+----------------------------------+\n| CHAR(77,97,114,\'105\',97,\'68\',66) |\n+----------------------------------+\n| MariaDB |\n+----------------------------------+\n\nSELECT CHAR(77,77.3,\'77.3\');\n+----------------------+\n| CHAR(77,77.3,\'77.3\') |\n+----------------------+\n| MMM |\n+----------------------+\n1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nWarning (Code 1292): Truncated incorrect INTEGER value: \'77.3\'\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/char-function/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/char-function/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (635,36,'CHAR_LENGTH','Syntax\n------\n\nCHAR_LENGTH(str)\nCHARACTER_LENGTH(str)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the length of the given string argument, measured in characters.

The first argument is the separator for the rest of the arguments.\nThe separator is added between the strings to be concatenated. The separator\ncan be a string, as can the rest of the arguments.\n\nIf the separator is NULL, the result is NULL; all other NULL values are\nskipped.

If the optional length is\ngiven, BINARY(N) causes the cast to use no more than N bytes of the argument.\nValues shorter than the given number in bytes are padded with 0x00 bytes to\nmake them equal the length value.\n\nCHAR(N) causes the cast to use no more than the number of characters given in\nthe argument.\n\nThe main difference between the CAST() and CONVERT() is that\nCONVERT(expr,type) is ODBC syntax while CAST(expr as type) and CONVERT(...\nUSING ...) are SQL92 syntax.\n\nCONVERT() with USING is used to convert data between different character sets.\nIn MariaDB, transcoding names are the same as the corresponding character set\nnames. For example, this statement converts the string \'abc\' in the default\ncharacter set to the corresponding string in the utf8 character set:\n\nSELECT CONVERT(\'abc\' USING utf8);\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT enum_col FROM tbl_name \nORDER BY CAST(enum_col AS CHAR);\n\nConverting a BINARY to string to permit the LOWER function to work:\n\nSET @x = \'AardVark\';\n\nSET @x = BINARY \'AardVark\';\n\nSELECT LOWER(@x), LOWER(CONVERT (@x USING latin1));\n+-----------+----------------------------------+\n| LOWER(@x) | LOWER(CONVERT (@x USING latin1)) |\n+-----------+----------------------------------+\n| AardVark | aardvark |\n+-----------+----------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/convert/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/convert/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (640,36,'ELT','Syntax\n------\n\nELT(N, str1[, str2, str3,...])\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nTakes a numeric argument and a series of string arguments.

If the numeric argument is a FLOAT,\nMariaDB rounds it to the nearest INTEGER. If the numeric argument is less than\n1, greater than the total number of arguments, or not a number, ELT() returns\nNULL.

It returns the text\n(That is, CDDATA), of the first text node which is a child of the element or\nelements matching the XPath expression.\n\nIn cases where a valid XPath expression does not match any text nodes in a\nvalid XML fragment, (including the implicit /text() expression), the\nEXTRACTVALUE() function returns an empty string.\n\nInvalid Arguments\n-----------------\n\nWhen either the XML fragment or the XPath expression is NULL, the\nEXTRACTVALUE() function returns NULL. When the XML fragment is invalid, it\nraises a warning Code 1525:\n\nWarning (Code 1525): Incorrect XML value: \'parse error at line 1 pos 11:\nunexpected END-OF-INPUT\'\n\nWhen the XPath value is invalid, it generates an Error 1105:\n\nERROR 1105 (HY000): XPATH syntax error: \')\'\n\nExplicit text() Expressions\n---------------------------\n\nThis function is the equivalent of performing a match using the XPath\nexpression after appending /text().

If you need to determine whether no\nmatching element was found in the XML fragment or if an element was found that\ncontained no child text nodes, use the XPath count() function.\n\nFor instance, when looking for a value that exists, but contains no child text\nnodes, you would get a count of the number of matching instances:\n\nSELECT\n EXTRACTVALUE(\'<cases><case/></cases>\', \'/cases/case\')\n AS \'Empty Example\',\n EXTRACTVALUE(\'<cases><case/></cases>\', \'count(/cases/case)\')\n AS \'count() Example\';\n+---------------+-----------------+\n| Empty Example | count() Example |\n+---------------+-----------------+\n| | 1 |\n+---------------+-----------------+\n\nAlternatively, when looking for a value that doesn\'t exist, count() returns 0.\n\nSELECT\n EXTRACTVALUE(\'<cases><case/></cases>\', \'/cases/person\')\n AS \'No Match Example\',\n EXTRACTVALUE(\'<cases><case/></cases>\', \'count(/cases/person)\')\n AS \'count() Example\';\n+------------------+-----------------+\n| No Match Example | count() Example |\n+------------------+-----------------+\n| | 0|\n+------------------+-----------------+\n\nMatches\n-------\n\nImportant: The EXTRACTVALUE() function only returns CDDATA.

Returns either 1 (TRUE) or 0\n(FALSE). Both expr and pat may be any valid expression and are evaluated to\nstrings. Patterns may use the following wildcard characters:\n\n* % matches any number of characters, including zero.\n* _ matches any single character.\n\nUse NOT LIKE to test if a string does not match a pattern. This is equivalent\nto using the NOT operator on the entire LIKE expression.\n\nIf either the expression or the pattern is NULL, the result is NULL.\n\nLIKE performs case-insensitive substring matches if the collation for the\nexpression and pattern is case-insensitive. For case-sensitive matches,\ndeclare either argument to use a binary collation using COLLATE, or coerce\neither of them to a BINARY string using CAST. Use SHOW COLLATION to get a list\nof available collations. Collations ending in _bin are case-sensitive.\n\nNumeric arguments are coerced to binary strings.\n\nThe _ wildcard matches a single character, not byte. It will only match a\nmulti-byte character if it is valid in the expression\'s character set. For\nexample, _ will match _utf8\"€\", but it will not match _latin1\"€\" because the\nEuro sign is not a valid latin1 character. If necessary, use CONVERT to use\nthe expression in a different character set.\n\nIf you need to match the characters _ or %, you must escape them. By default,\nyou can prefix the wildcard characters the backslash character \\ to escape\nthem. The backslash is used both to encode special characters like newlines\nwhen a string is parsed as well as to escape wildcards in a pattern after\nparsing. Thus, to match an actual backslash, you sometimes need to\ndouble-escape it as \"\\\\\\\\\".\n\nTo avoid difficulties with the backslash character, you can change the\nwildcard escape character using ESCAPE in a LIKE expression. The argument to\nESCAPE must be a single-character string.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSelect the days that begin with \"T\":\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (d VARCHAR(16));\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES \n (\"Monday\"), (\"Tuesday\"), (\"Wednesday\"),\n (\"Thursday\"), (\"Friday\"), (\"Saturday\"), (\"Sunday\");\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d LIKE \"T%\";\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d LIKE \"T%\";\n+----------+\n| d |\n+----------+\n| Tuesday |\n| Thursday |\n+----------+\n\nSelect the days that contain the substring \"es\":\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d LIKE \"%es%\";\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d LIKE \"%es%\";\n+-----------+\n| d |\n+-----------+\n| Tuesday |\n| Wednesday |\n+-----------+\n\nSelect the six-character day names:\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d like \"___day\";\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d like \"___day\";\n+---------+\n| d |\n+---------+\n| Monday |\n| Friday |\n| Sunday |\n+---------+\n\nWith the default collations, LIKE is case-insensitive:\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 where d like \"t%\";\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 where d like \"t%\";\n+----------+\n| d |\n+----------+\n| Tuesday |\n| Thursday |\n+----------+\n\nUse COLLATE to specify a binary collation, forcing case-sensitive matches:\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d like \"t%\" COLLATE latin1_bin;\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d like \"t%\" COLLATE latin1_bin;\nEmpty set (0.00 sec)\n\nYou can include functions and operators in the expression to match.

For\nexample, you can add or delete columns, create or destroy indexes, change the\ntype of existing columns, or rename columns or the table itself. You can also\nchange the comment for the table and the storage engine of the table.\n\nIf another connection is using the table, a metadata lock is active, and this\nstatement will wait until the lock is released. This is also true for\nnon-transactional tables.\n\nWhen adding a UNIQUE index on a column (or a set of columns) which have\nduplicated values, an error will be produced and the statement will be\nstopped. To suppress the error and force the creation of UNIQUE indexes,\ndiscarding duplicates, the IGNORE option can be specified. This can be useful\nif a column (or a set of columns) should be UNIQUE but it contains duplicate\nvalues; however, this technique provides no control on which rows are\npreserved and which are deleted. Also, note that IGNORE is accepted but\nignored in ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION statements.\n\nThis statement can also be used to rename a table. For details see RENAME\nTABLE.\n\nWhen an index is created, the storage engine may use a configurable buffer in\nthe process. Incrementing the buffer speeds up the index creation. Aria and\nMyISAM allocate a buffer whose size is defined by aria_sort_buffer_size or\nmyisam_sort_buffer_size, also used for REPAIR TABLE. InnoDB allocates three\nbuffers whose size is defined by innodb_sort_buffer_size.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nExecuting the ALTER TABLE statement generally requires at least the ALTER\nprivilege for the table or the database..\n\nIf you are renaming a table, then it also requires the DROP, CREATE and INSERT\nprivileges for the table or the database as well.\n\nOnline DDL\n----------\n\nOnline DDL is supported with the ALGORITHM and LOCK clauses.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Overview for more information on online DDL with InnoDB.\n\nALTER ONLINE TABLE\n------------------\n\nALTER ONLINE TABLE also works for partitioned tables.\n\nOnline ALTER TABLE is available by executing the following:\n\nALTER ONLINE TABLE ...;\n\nThis statement has the following semantics:\n\nThis statement is equivalent to the following:\n\nALTER TABLE ... LOCK=NONE;\n\nSee the LOCK alter specification for more information.\n\nThis statement is equivalent to the following:\n\nALTER TABLE ... ALGORITHM=INPLACE;\n\nSee the ALGORITHM alter specification for more information.\n\nWAIT/NOWAIT\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.0\n----------------------------\nSet the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.\n\nIF EXISTS\n---------\n\nThe IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS clauses are available for the following:\n\nADD COLUMN [IF NOT EXISTS]\nADD INDEX [IF NOT EXISTS]\nADD FOREIGN KEY [IF NOT EXISTS]\nADD PARTITION [IF NOT EXISTS]\nCREATE INDEX [IF NOT EXISTS]\nDROP COLUMN [IF EXISTS]\nDROP INDEX [IF EXISTS]\nDROP FOREIGN KEY [IF EXISTS]\nDROP PARTITION [IF EXISTS]\nCHANGE COLUMN [IF EXISTS]\nMODIFY COLUMN [IF EXISTS]\nDROP INDEX [IF EXISTS]\nWhen IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS are used in clauses, queries will not report\nerrors when the condition is triggered for that clause. A warning with the\nsame message text will be issued and the ALTER will move on to the next clause\nin the statement (or end if finished).\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.2\n----------------------------\nIf this is directive is used after ALTER ... TABLE, one will not get an error\nif the table doesn\'t exist.\n\nColumn Definitions\n------------------\n\nSee CREATE TABLE: Column Definitions for information about column definitions.\n\nIndex Definitions\n-----------------\n\nSee CREATE TABLE: Index Definitions for information about index definitions.\n\nThe CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX statements can also be used to add or remove\nan index.\n\nCharacter Sets and Collations\n-----------------------------\n\nCONVERT TO CHARACTER SET charset_name [COLLATE collation_name]\n[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET [=] charset_name\n[DEFAULT] COLLATE [=] collation_name\nSee Setting Character Sets and Collations for details on setting the character\nsets and collations.\n\nAlter Specifications\n--------------------\n\nTable Options\n-------------\n\nSee CREATE TABLE: Table Options for information about table options.\n\nADD COLUMN\n----------\n\n... ADD COLUMN [IF NOT EXISTS] (col_name column_definition,...)\nAdds a column to the table. The syntax is the same as in CREATE TABLE. If you\nare using IF NOT_EXISTS the column will not be added if it was not there\nalready. This is very useful when doing scripts to modify tables.\n\nThe FIRST and AFTER clauses affect the physical order of columns in the\ndatafile. Use FIRST to add a column in the first (leftmost) position, or AFTER\nfollowed by a column name to add the new column in any other position. Note\nthat, nowadays, the physical position of a column is usually irrelevant.\n\nSee also Instant ADD COLUMN for InnoDB.\n\nDROP COLUMN\n-----------\n\n... DROP COLUMN [IF EXISTS] col_name [CASCADE|RESTRICT]\nDrops the column from the table. If you are using IF EXISTS you will not get\nan error if the column didn\'t exist. If the column is part of any index, the\ncolumn will be dropped from them, except if you add a new column with\nidentical name at the same time. The index will be dropped if all columns from\nthe index were dropped. If the column was used in a view or trigger, you will\nget an error next time the view or trigger is accessed.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.8\n----------------------------\nDropping a column that is part of a multi-column UNIQUE constraint is not\npermitted. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE a (\n a int,\n b int,\n primary key (a,b)\n);\n\nALTER TABLE x DROP COLUMN a;\n[42000][1072] Key column \'A\' doesn\'t exist in table\n\nThe reason is that dropping column a would result in the new constraint that\nall values in column b be unique. In order to drop the column, an explicit\nDROP PRIMARY KEY and ADD PRIMARY KEY would be required. Up until MariaDB\n10.2.7, the column was dropped and the additional constraint applied,\nresulting in the following structure:\n\nALTER TABLE x DROP COLUMN a;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.46 sec)\n\nDESC x;\n+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| b | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |\n+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.0\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.4.0 supports instant DROP COLUMN. DROP COLUMN of an indexed column\nwould imply DROP INDEX (and in the case of a non-UNIQUE multi-column index,\npossibly ADD INDEX). These will not be allowed with ALGORITHM=INSTANT, but\nunlike before, they can be allowed with ALGORITHM=NOCOPY\n\nRESTRICT and CASCADE are allowed to make porting from other database systems\neasier. In MariaDB, they do nothing.\n\nMODIFY COLUMN\n-------------\n\nAllows you to modify the type of a column. The column will be at the same\nplace as the original column and all indexes on the column will be kept. Note\nthat when modifying column, you should specify all attributes for the new\ncolumn.\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY((a));\nALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY a BIGINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT;\n\nCHANGE COLUMN\n-------------\n\nWorks like MODIFY COLUMN except that you can also change the name of the\ncolumn. The column will be at the same place as the original column and all\nindex on the column will be kept.\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY(a));\nALTER TABLE t1 CHANGE a b BIGINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT;\n\nALTER COLUMN\n------------\n\nThis lets you change column options.\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT, b varchar(50), PRIMARY KEY(a));\nALTER TABLE t1 ALTER b SET DEFAULT \'hello\';\n\nRENAME INDEX/KEY\n----------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.2\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.2, it is possible to rename an index using the RENAME INDEX\n(or RENAME KEY) syntax, for example:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 RENAME INDEX i_old TO i_new;\n\nRENAME COLUMN\n-------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.2\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.2, it is possible to rename a column using the RENAME COLUMN\nsyntax, for example:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 RENAME COLUMN c_old TO c_new;\n\nADD PRIMARY KEY\n---------------\n\nAdd a primary key.\n\nFor PRIMARY KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the index, but it is\nsilently ignored, and the name of the index is always PRIMARY.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Primary Key for more information.\n\nDROP PRIMARY KEY\n----------------\n\nDrop a primary key.\n\nFor PRIMARY KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the index, but it is\nsilently ignored, and the name of the index is always PRIMARY.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Primary Key for more information.\n\nADD FOREIGN KEY\n---------------\n\nAdd a foreign key.\n\nFor FOREIGN KEY indexes, a reference definition must be provided.\n\nFor FOREIGN KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the constraint, using the\nCONSTRAINT keyword. That name will be used in error messages.\n\nFirst, you have to specify the name of the target (parent) table and a column\nor a column list which must be indexed and whose values must match to the\nforeign key\'s values. The MATCH clause is accepted to improve the\ncompatibility with other DBMS\'s, but has no meaning in MariaDB. The ON DELETE\nand ON UPDATE clauses specify what must be done when a DELETE (or a REPLACE)\nstatements attempts to delete a referenced row from the parent table, and when\nan UPDATE statement attempts to modify the referenced foreign key columns in a\nparent table row, respectively. The following options are allowed:\n\n* RESTRICT: The delete/update operation is not performed. The statement\nterminates with a 1451 error (SQLSTATE \'2300\').\n* NO ACTION: Synonym for RESTRICT.\n* CASCADE: The delete/update operation is performed in both tables.\n* SET NULL: The update or delete goes ahead in the parent table, and the\ncorresponding foreign key fields in the child table are set to NULL. (They\nmust not be defined as NOT NULL for this to succeed).\n* SET DEFAULT: This option is implemented only for the legacy PBXT storage\nengine, which is disabled by default and no longer maintained. It sets the\nchild table\'s foreign key fields to their DEFAULT values when the referenced\nparent table key entries are updated or deleted.\n\nIf either clause is omitted, the default behavior for the omitted clause is\nRESTRICT.\n\nSee Foreign Keys for more information.\n\nDROP FOREIGN KEY\n----------------\n\nDrop a foreign key.\n\nSee Foreign Keys for more information.\n\nADD INDEX\n---------\n\nAdd a plain index.\n\nPlain indexes are regular indexes that are not unique, and are not acting as a\nprimary key or a foreign key. They are also not the \"specialized\" FULLTEXT or\nSPATIAL indexes.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Plain Indexes for more information.\n\nDROP INDEX\n----------\n\nDrop a plain index.\n\nPlain indexes are regular indexes that are not unique, and are not acting as a\nprimary key or a foreign key.

That name will be used in error messages.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Unique Index for more information.\n\nADD FULLTEXT INDEX\n------------------\n\nAdd a FULLTEXT index.\n\nSee Full-Text Indexes for more information.\n\nDROP FULLTEXT INDEX\n-------------------\n\nDrop a FULLTEXT index.\n\nSee Full-Text Indexes for more information.\n\nADD SPATIAL INDEX\n-----------------\n\nAdd a SPATIAL index.\n\nSee SPATIAL INDEX for more information.\n\nDROP SPATIAL INDEX\n------------------\n\nDrop a SPATIAL index.\n\nSee SPATIAL INDEX for more information.\n\nENABLE/ DISABLE KEYS\n--------------------\n\nDISABLE KEYS will disable all non unique keys for the table for storage\nengines that support this (at least MyISAM and Aria). This can be used to\nspeed up inserts into empty tables.\n\nENABLE KEYS will enable all disabled keys.\n\nRENAME TO\n---------\n\nRenames the table. See also RENAME TABLE.\n\nADD CONSTRAINT\n--------------\n\nModifies the table adding a constraint on a particular column or columns.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.1\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.2.1 introduced new ways to define a constraint.\n\nNote: Before MariaDB 10.2.1, constraint expressions were accepted in syntax,\nbut ignored.\n\nALTER TABLE table_name \nADD CONSTRAINT [constraint_name] CHECK(expression);\nBefore a row is inserted or updated, all constraints are evaluated in the\norder they are defined. If any constraint fails, then the row will not be\nupdated. One can use most deterministic functions in a constraint, including\nUDF\'s.\n\nCREATE TABLE account_ledger (\n id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,\n transaction_name VARCHAR(100),\n credit_account VARCHAR(100),\n credit_amount INT,\n debit_account VARCHAR(100),\n debit_amount INT);\n\nALTER TABLE account_ledger \nADD CONSTRAINT is_balanced \n CHECK((debit_amount + credit_amount) = 0);\n\nThe constraint_name is optional. If you don\'t provide one in the ALTER TABLE\nstatement, MariaDB auto-generates a name for you. This is done so that you can\nremove it later using DROP CONSTRAINT clause.\n\nYou can disable all constraint expression checks by setting the variable\ncheck_constraint_checks to OFF. You may find this useful when loading a table\nthat violates some constraints that you want to later find and fix in SQL.\n\nTo view constraints on a table, query information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS:\n\nSELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME, TABLE_NAME, CONSTRAINT_TYPE \nFROM information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS\nWHERE TABLE_NAME = \'account_ledger\';\n\n+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+\n| CONSTRAINT_NAME | TABLE_NAME | CONSTRAINT_TYPE |\n+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+\n| is_balanced | account_ledger | CHECK |\n+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+\n\nDROP CONSTRAINT\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.22\n-----------------------------\nDROP CONSTRAINT for UNIQUE and FOREIGN KEY constraints was introduced in\nMariaDB 10.2.22 and MariaDB 10.3.13.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.1\n----------------------------\nDROP CONSTRAINT for CHECK constraints was introduced in MariaDB 10.2.1\n\nModifies the table, removing the given constraint.\n\nALTER TABLE table_name\nDROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name;\n\nWhen you add a constraint to a table, whether through a CREATE TABLE or ALTER\nTABLE...ADD CONSTRAINT statement, you can either set a constraint_name\nyourself, or allow MariaDB to auto-generate one for you. To view constraints\non a table, query information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. For instance,\n\nCREATE TABLE t (\n a INT,\n b INT,\n c INT,\n CONSTRAINT CHECK(a > b),\n CONSTRAINT check_equals CHECK(a = c));\n\nSELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME, TABLE_NAME, CONSTRAINT_TYPE \nFROM information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS\nWHERE TABLE_NAME = \'t\';\n\n+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+\n| CONSTRAINT_NAME | TABLE_NAME | CONSTRAINT_TYPE |\n+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+\n| check_equals | t | CHECK |\n| CONSTRAINT_1 | t | CHECK |\n+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+\n\nTo remove a constraint from the table, issue an ALTER TABLE...DROP CONSTRAINT\nstatement. For example,\n\nALTER TABLE t DROP CONSTRAINT is_unique;\n\nADD SYSTEM VERSIONING\n---------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.4\n----------------------------\nSystem-versioned tables was added in MariaDB 10.3.4.\n\nAdd system versioning.\n\nDROP SYSTEM VERSIONING\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.4\n----------------------------\nSystem-versioned tables was added in MariaDB 10.3.4.\n\nDrop system versioning.\n\nADD PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME\n--------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.4\n----------------------------\nSystem-versioned tables was added in MariaDB 10.3.4.\n\nFORCE\n-----\n\nALTER TABLE ... FORCE can force MariaDB to re-build the table.\n\nIn MariaDB 5.5 and before, this could only be done by setting the ENGINE table\noption to its old value. For example, for an InnoDB table, one could execute\nthe following:\n\nALTER TABLE tab_name ENGINE = InnoDB;\n\nThe FORCE option can be used instead. For example, :\n\nALTER TABLE tab_name FORCE;\n\nWith InnoDB, the table rebuild will only reclaim unused space (i.e. the space\npreviously used for deleted rows) if the innodb_file_per_table system variable\nis set to ON (the default). If the system variable is OFF, then the space will\nnot be reclaimed, but it will be-re-used for new data that\'s later added.\n\nEXCHANGE PARTITION\n------------------\n\nThis is used to exchange the contents of a partition with another table.\n\nThis is performed by swapping the tablespaces of the partition with the other\ntable.\n\nSee copying InnoDB\'s transportable tablespaces for more information.\n\nDISCARD TABLESPACE\n------------------\n\nThis is used to discard an InnoDB table\'s tablespace.\n\nSee copying InnoDB\'s transportable tablespaces for more information.\n\nIMPORT TABLESPACE\n-----------------\n\nThis is used to import an InnoDB table\'s tablespace. The tablespace should\nhave been copied from its original server after executing FLUSH TABLES FOR\nEXPORT.\n\nSee copying InnoDB\'s transportable tablespaces for more information.\n\nALTER TABLE ... IMPORT only applies to InnoDB tables. Most other popular\nstorage engines, such as Aria and MyISAM, will recognize their data files as\nsoon as they\'ve been placed in the proper directory under the datadir, and no\nspecial DDL is required to import them.\n\nALGORITHM\n---------\n\nThe ALTER TABLE statement supports the ALGORITHM clause. This clause is one of\nthe clauses that is used to implement online DDL. ALTER TABLE supports several\ndifferent algorithms. An algorithm can be explicitly chosen for an ALTER TABLE\noperation by setting the ALGORITHM clause. The supported values are:\n\n* ALGORITHM=DEFAULT - This implies the default behavior for the specific\nstatement, such as if no ALGORITHM clause is specified.\n* ALGORITHM=COPY\n* ALGORITHM=INPLACE\n* ALGORITHM=NOCOPY - This was added in MariaDB 10.3.7.\n* ALGORITHM=INSTANT - This was added in MariaDB 10.3.7.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Overview: ALGORITHM for information on how the ALGORITHM\nclause affects InnoDB.\n\nALGORITHM=DEFAULT\n-----------------\n\nThe default behavior, which occurs if ALGORITHM=DEFAULT is specified, or if\nALGORITHM is not specified at all, usually only makes a copy if the operation\ndoesn\'t support being done in-place at all. In this case, the most efficient\navailable algorithm will usually be used.\n\nHowever, in MariaDB 10.3.6 and before, if the value of the old_alter_table\nsystem variable is set to ON, then the default behavior is to perform ALTER\nTABLE operations by making a copy of the table using the old algorithm.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.3.7 and later, the old_alter_table system variable is\ndeprecated. Instead, the alter_algorithm system variable defines the default\nalgorithm for ALTER TABLE operations.\n\nALGORITHM=COPY\n--------------\n\nALGORITHM=COPY is the name for the original ALTER TABLE algorithm from early\nMariaDB versions.\n\nWhen ALGORITHM=COPY is set, MariaDB essentially does the following operations:\n\n-- Create a temporary table with the new definition\nCREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp_tab (\n...\n);\n\n-- Copy the data from the original table\nINSERT INTO tmp_tab\n SELECT * FROM original_tab;\n\n-- Drop the original table\nDROP TABLE original_tab;\n\n-- Rename the temporary table, so that it replaces the original one\nRENAME TABLE tmp_tab TO original_tab;\n\nThis algorithm is very inefficient, but it is generic, so it works for all\nstorage engines.\n\nIf ALGORITHM=COPY is specified, then the copy algorithm will be used even if\nit is not necessary. This can result in a lengthy table copy. If multiple\nALTER TABLE operations are required that each require the table to be rebuilt,\nthen it is best to specify all operations in a single ALTER TABLE statement,\nso that the table is only rebuilt once.\n\nALGORITHM=INPLACE\n-----------------\n\nALGORITHM=COPY can be incredibly slow, because the whole table has to be\ncopied and rebuilt. ALGORITHM=INPLACE was introduced as a way to avoid this by\nperforming operations in-place and avoiding the table copy and rebuild, when\npossible.\n\nWhen ALGORITHM=INPLACE is set, the underlying storage engine uses\noptimizations to perform the operation while avoiding the table copy and\nrebuild. However, INPLACE is a bit of a misnomer, since some operations may\nstill require the table to be rebuilt for some storage engines. Regardless,\nseveral operations can be performed without a full copy of the table for some\nstorage engines.\n\nA more accurate name would have been ALGORITHM=ENGINE, where ENGINE refers to\nan \"engine-specific\" algorithm.\n\nIf an ALTER TABLE operation supports ALGORITHM=INPLACE, then it can be\nperformed using optimizations by the underlying storage engine, but it may\nrebuilt.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Operations with ALGORITHM=INPLACE for more.\n\nALGORITHM=NOCOPY\n----------------\n\nALGORITHM=NOCOPY was introduced in MariaDB 10.3.7.\n\nALGORITHM=INPLACE can sometimes be surprisingly slow in instances where it has\nto rebuild the clustered index, because when the clustered index has to be\nrebuilt, the whole table has to be rebuilt. ALGORITHM=NOCOPY was introduced as\na way to avoid this.\n\nIf an ALTER TABLE operation supports ALGORITHM=NOCOPY, then it can be\nperformed without rebuilding the clustered index.\n\nIf ALGORITHM=NOCOPY is specified for an ALTER TABLE operation that does not\nsupport ALGORITHM=NOCOPY, then an error will be raised. In this case, raising\nan error is preferable, if the alternative is for the operation to rebuild the\nclustered index, and perform unexpectedly slowly.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Operations with ALGORITHM=NOCOPY for more.\n\nALGORITHM=INSTANT\n-----------------\n\nALGORITHM=INSTANT was introduced in MariaDB 10.3.7.\n\nALGORITHM=INPLACE can sometimes be surprisingly slow in instances where it has\nto modify data files. ALGORITHM=INSTANT was introduced as a way to avoid this.\n\nIf an ALTER TABLE operation supports ALGORITHM=INSTANT, then it can be\nperformed without modifying any data files.\n\nIf ALGORITHM=INSTANT is specified for an ALTER TABLE operation that does not\nsupport ALGORITHM=INSTANT, then an error will be raised. In this case, raising\nan error is preferable, if the alternative is for the operation to modify data\nfiles, and perform unexpectedly slowly.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Operations with ALGORITHM=INSTANT for more.\n\nLOCK\n----\n\nThe ALTER TABLE statement supports the LOCK clause. This clause is one of the\nclauses that is used to implement online DDL. ALTER TABLE supports several\ndifferent locking strategies. A locking strategy can be explicitly chosen for\nan ALTER TABLE operation by setting the LOCK clause. The supported values are:\n\n* DEFAULT: Acquire the least restrictive lock on the table that is supported\nfor the specific operation. Permit the maximum amount of concurrency that is\nsupported for the specific operation.\n* NONE: Acquire no lock on the table. Permit all concurrent DML. If this\nlocking strategy is not permitted for an operation, then an error is raised.\n* SHARED: Acquire a read lock on the table. Permit read-only concurrent DML.\nIf this locking strategy is not permitted for an operation, then an error is\nraised.\n* EXCLUSIVE: Acquire a write lock on the table. Do not permit concurrent DML.\n\nDifferent storage engines support different locking strategies for different\noperations. If a specific locking strategy is chosen for an ALTER TABLE\noperation, and that table\'s storage engine does not support that locking\nstrategy for that specific operation, then an error will be raised.\n\nIf the LOCK clause is not explicitly set, then the operation uses LOCK=DEFAULT.\n\nALTER ONLINE TABLE is equivalent to LOCK=NONE. Therefore, the ALTER ONLINE\nTABLE statement can be used to ensure that your ALTER TABLE operation allows\nall concurrent DML.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Overview: LOCK for information on how the LOCK clause\naffects InnoDB.\n\nProgress Reporting\n------------------\n\nMariaDB provides progress reporting for ALTER TABLE statement for clients that\nsupport the new progress reporting protocol. For example, if you were using\nthe mysql client, then the progress report might look like this::\n\nALTER TABLE test ENGINE=Aria;\nStage: 1 of 2 \'copy to tmp table\' 46% of stage\n\nThe progress report is also shown in the output of the SHOW PROCESSLIST\nstatement and in the contents of the information_schema.PROCESSLIST table.\n\nSee Progress Reporting for more information.\n\nAborting ALTER TABLE Operations\n-------------------------------\n\nIf an ALTER TABLE operation is being performed and the connection is killed,') WHERE help_topic_id = 691; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nthe changes will be rolled back in a controlled manner. The rollback can be a\nslow operation as the time it takes is relative to how far the operation has\nprogressed.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.13\n-----------------------------\nAborting ALTER TABLE ... ALGORITHM=COPY was made faster by removing excessive\nundo logging (MDEV-11415). This significantly shortens the time it takes to\nabort a running ALTER TABLE operation.\n\nAtomic ALTER TABLE\n------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.1\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.6, ALTER TABLE is atomic for most engines, including InnoDB,\nMyRocks, MyISAM and Aria (MDEV-25180). This means that if there is a crash\n(server down or power outage) during an ALTER TABLE operation, after recovery,\neither the old table and associated triggers and status will be intact, or the\nnew table will be active.\n\nIn older MariaDB versions one could get leftover #sql-alter..\',\n\'#sql-backup..\' or \'table_name.frm˝\' files if the system crashed during the\nALTER TABLE operation.\n\nSee Atomic DDL for more information.\n\nReplication\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.8.1\n----------------------------\nBefore MariaDB 10.8.1, ALTER TABLE got fully executed on the primary first,\nand only then was it replicated and started executing on replicas. From\nMariaDB 10.8.1, ALTER TABLE gains an option to replicate sooner and begin\nexecuting on replicas when it merely starts executing on the primary, not when\nit finishes. This way the replication lag caused by a heavy ALTER TABLE can be\ncompletely eliminated (MDEV-11675).\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nAdding a new column:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 ADD x INT;\n\nDropping a column:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 DROP x;\n\nModifying the type of a column:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY x bigint unsigned;\n\nChanging the name and type of a column:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 CHANGE a b bigint unsigned auto_increment;\n\nCombining multiple clauses in a single ALTER TABLE statement, separated by\ncommas:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 DROP x, ADD x2 INT, CHANGE y y2 INT;\n\nChanging the storage engine and adding a comment:\n\nALTER TABLE t1 \n ENGINE = InnoDB\n COMMENT = \'First of three tables containing usage info\';\n\nRebuilding the table (the previous example will also rebuild the table if it\nwas already InnoDB):\n\nALTER TABLE t1 FORCE;\n\nDropping an index:\n\nALTER TABLE rooms DROP INDEX u;\n\nAdding a unique index:\n\nALTER TABLE rooms ADD UNIQUE INDEX u(room_number);\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.3, adding a primary key for an application-time period table\nwith a WITHOUT OVERLAPS constraint:\n\nALTER TABLE rooms ADD PRIMARY KEY(room_number, p WITHOUT OVERLAPS);\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.8.1, ALTER query can be replicated faster with the setting of\n\nSET @@SESSION.binlog_alter_two_phase = true;\n\nprior the ALTER query. Binlog would contain two event groups\n\n| master-bin.000001 | 495 | Gtid | 1 | 537 | GTID\n0-1-2 START ALTER |\n| master-bin.000001 | 537 | Query | 1 | 655 | use\n`test`; alter table t add column b int, algorithm=inplace |\n| master-bin.000001 | 655 | Gtid | 1 | 700 | GTID\n0-1-3 COMMIT ALTER id=2 |\n| master-bin.000001 | 700 | Query | 1 | 835 | use\n`test`; alter table t add column b int, algorithm=inplace |\n\nof which the first one gets delivered to replicas before ALTER is taken to\nactual execution on the primary.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-table/') WHERE help_topic_id = 691; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (692,38,'ALTER DATABASE','Modifies a database, changing its overall characteristics.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nALTER {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [db_name]\n alter_specification ...\nALTER {DATABASE | SCHEMA} db_name\n UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME\n\nalter_specification:\n [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET [=] charset_name\n | [DEFAULT] COLLATE [=] collation_name\n | COMMENT [=] \'comment\'\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nALTER DATABASE enables you to change the overall characteristics of a\ndatabase. These characteristics are stored in the db.opt file in the database\ndirectory. To use ALTER DATABASE, you need the ALTER privilege on the\ndatabase. ALTER SCHEMA is a synonym for ALTER DATABASE.\n\nThe CHARACTER SET clause changes the default database character set. The\nCOLLATE clause changes the default database collation. See Character Sets and\nCollations for more.\n\nYou can see what character sets and collations are available using,\nrespectively, the SHOW CHARACTER SET and SHOW COLLATION statements.\n\nChanging the default character set/collation of a database does not change the\ncharacter set/collation of any stored procedures or stored functions that were\npreviously created, and relied on the defaults. These need to be dropped and\nrecreated in order to apply the character set/collation changes.\n\nThe database name can be omitted from the first syntax, in which case the\nstatement applies to the default database.\n\nThe syntax that includes the UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME clause was added in\nMySQL 5.1.23. It updates the name of the directory associated with the\ndatabase to use the encoding implemented in MySQL 5.1 for mapping database\nnames to database directory names (see Identifier to File Name Mapping). This\nclause is for use under these conditions:\n\n* It is intended when upgrading MySQL to 5.1 or later from older versions.\n* It is intended to update a database directory name to the current encoding\nformat if the name contains special characters that need encoding.\n* The statement is used by mysqlcheck (as invoked by mysql_upgrade).\n\nFor example,if a database in MySQL 5.0 has a name of a-b-c, the name contains\ninstance of the `-\' character. In 5.0, the database directory is also named\na-b-c, which is not necessarily safe for all file systems. In MySQL 5.1 and\nup, the same database name is encoded as a@002db@002dc to produce a file\nsystem-neutral directory name.\n\nWhen a MySQL installation is upgraded to MySQL 5.1 or later from an older\nversion,the server displays a name such as a-b-c (which is in the old format)\nas #mysql50#a-b-c, and you must refer to the name using the #mysql50# prefix.\nUse UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME in this case to explicitly tell the server to\nre-encode the database directory name to the current encoding format:\n\nALTER DATABASE `#mysql50#a-b-c` UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME;\n\nAfter executing this statement, you can refer to the database as a-b-c without\nthe special #mysql50# prefix.\n\nCOMMENT\n-------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.0\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.0, it is possible to add a comment of a maximum of 1024\nbytes. If the comment length exceeds this length, a error/warning code 4144 is\nthrown. The database comment is also added to the db.opt file, as well as to\nthe information_schema.schemata table.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nALTER DATABASE test CHARACTER SET=\'utf8\' COLLATE=\'utf8_bin\';\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.0:\n\nALTER DATABASE p COMMENT=\'Presentations\';\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-database/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-database/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (693,38,'ALTER EVENT','Modifies one or more characteristics of an existing event.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nALTER\n [DEFINER = { user | CURRENT_USER }]\n EVENT event_name\n [ON SCHEDULE schedule]\n [ON COMPLETION [NOT] PRESERVE]\n [RENAME TO new_event_name]\n [ENABLE | DISABLE | DISABLE ON SLAVE]\n [COMMENT \'comment\']\n [DO sql_statement]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe ALTER EVENT statement is used to change one or more of the characteristics\nof an existing event without the need to drop and recreate it.

Use SHOW WARNINGS to see notes.\n\nThe CREATE TABLE statement automatically commits the current transaction,\nexcept when using the TEMPORARY keyword.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as table names, see Identifier Names.\n\nNote: if the default_storage_engine is set to ColumnStore then it needs\nsetting on all UMs. Otherwise when the tables using the default engine are\nreplicated across UMs they will use the wrong engine. You should therefore not\nuse this option as a session variable with ColumnStore.\n\nMicrosecond precision can be between 0-6. If no precision is specified it is\nassumed to be 0, for backward compatibility reasons.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nExecuting the CREATE TABLE statement requires the CREATE privilege for the\ntable or the database.\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE\n-----------------\n\nIf the OR REPLACE clause is used and the table already exists, then instead of\nreturning an error, the server will drop the existing table and replace it\nwith the newly defined table.\n\nThis syntax was originally added to make replication more robust if it has to\nrollback and repeat statements such as CREATE ... SELECT on replicas.\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE TABLE table_name (a int);\n\nis basically the same as:\n\nDROP TABLE IF EXISTS table_name;\nCREATE TABLE table_name (a int);\n\nwith the following exceptions:\n\n* If table_name was locked with LOCK TABLES it will continue to be locked\nafter the statement.\n* Temporary tables are only dropped if the TEMPORARY keyword was used. (With\nDROP TABLE, temporary tables are preferred to be dropped before normal\ntables).\n\nThings to be Aware of With CREATE OR REPLACE\n--------------------------------------------\n\n* The table is dropped first (if it existed), after that the CREATE is done.\nBecause of this, if the CREATE fails, then the table will not exist anymore\nafter the statement. If the table was used with LOCK TABLES it will be\nunlocked.\n* One can\'t use OR REPLACE together with IF EXISTS.\n* Slaves in replication will by default use CREATE OR REPLACE when replicating\nCREATE statements that don\'\'t use IF EXISTS. This can be changed by setting\nthe variable slave-ddl-exec-mode to STRICT.\n\nCREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS\n--------------------------\n\nIf the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, then the table will only be created if a\ntable with the same name does not already exist. If the table already exists,\nthen a warning will be triggered by default.\n\nCREATE TEMPORARY TABLE\n----------------------\n\nUse the TEMPORARY keyword to create a temporary table that is only available\nto the current session. Temporary tables are dropped when the session ends.\nTemporary table names are specific to the session. They will not conflict with\nother temporary tables from other sessions even if they share the same name.\nThey will shadow names of non-temporary tables or views, if they are\nidentical. A temporary table can have the same name as a non-temporary table\nwhich is located in the same database. In that case, their name will reference\nthe temporary table when used in SQL statements. You must have the CREATE\nTEMPORARY TABLES privilege on the database to create temporary tables. If no\nstorage engine is specified, the default_tmp_storage_engine setting will\ndetermine the engine.\n\nROCKSDB temporary tables cannot be created by setting the\ndefault_tmp_storage_engine system variable, or using CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE\nLIKE. Before MariaDB 10.7, they could be specified, but would silently fail,\nand a MyISAM table would be created instead. From MariaDB 10.7 an error is\nreturned. Explicitly creating a temporary table with ENGINE=ROCKSDB has never\nbeen permitted.\n\nCREATE TABLE ... LIKE\n---------------------\n\nUse the LIKE clause instead of a full table definition to create a table with\nthe same definition as another table, including columns, indexes, and table\noptions. Foreign key definitions, as well as any DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX\nDIRECTORY table options specified on the original table, will not be created.\n\nCREATE TABLE ... SELECT\n-----------------------\n\nYou can create a table containing data from other tables using the CREATE ...\nSELECT statement. Columns will be created in the table for each field returned\nby the SELECT query.\n\nYou can also define some columns normally and add other columns from a SELECT.\nYou can also create columns in the normal way and assign them some values\nusing the query, this is done to force a certain type or other field\ncharacteristics. The columns that are not named in the query will be placed\nbefore the others. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE test (a INT NOT NULL, b CHAR(10)) ENGINE=MyISAM\n SELECT 5 AS b, c, d FROM another_table;\n\nRemember that the query just returns data. If you want to use the same\nindexes, or the same columns attributes ([NOT] NULL, DEFAULT, AUTO_INCREMENT)\nin the new table, you need to specify them manually. Types and sizes are not\nautomatically preserved if no data returned by the SELECT requires the full\nsize, and VARCHAR could be converted into CHAR. The CAST() function can be\nused to forcee the new table to use certain types.\n\nAliases (AS) are taken into account, and they should always be used when you\nSELECT an expression (function, arithmetical operation, etc).\n\nIf an error occurs during the query, the table will not be created at all.\n\nIf the new table has a primary key or UNIQUE indexes, you can use the IGNORE\nor REPLACE keywords to handle duplicate key errors during the query. IGNORE\nmeans that the newer values must not be inserted an identical value exists in\nthe index. REPLACE means that older values must be overwritten.\n\nIf the columns in the new table are more than the rows returned by the query,\nthe columns populated by the query will be placed after other columns. Note\nthat if the strict SQL_MODE is on, and the columns that are not names in the\nquery do not have a DEFAULT value, an error will raise and no rows will be\ncopied.\n\nConcurrent inserts are not used during the execution of a CREATE ... SELECT.\n\nIf the table already exists, an error similar to the following will be\nreturned:\n\nERROR 1050 (42S01): Table \'t\' already exists\n\nIf the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used and the table exists, a note will be\nproduced instead of an error.\n\nTo insert rows from a query into an existing table, INSERT ... SELECT can be\nused.\n\nColumn Definitions\n------------------\n\ncreate_definition:\n { col_name column_definition | index_definition | period_definition | CHECK\n(expr) }\ncolumn_definition:\n data_type\n [NOT NULL | NULL] [DEFAULT default_value | (expression)]\n [ON UPDATE [NOW | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP] [(precision)]]\n [AUTO_INCREMENT] [ZEROFILL] [UNIQUE [KEY] | [PRIMARY] KEY]\n [INVISIBLE] [{WITH|WITHOUT} SYSTEM VERSIONING]\n [COMMENT \'string\'] [REF_SYSTEM_ID = value]\n [reference_definition]\n | data_type [GENERATED ALWAYS]\n AS { { ROW {START|END} } | { (expression) [VIRTUAL | PERSISTENT | STORED] } }\n [UNIQUE [KEY]] [COMMENT \'string\']\nconstraint_definition:\n CONSTRAINT [constraint_name] CHECK (expression)\nNote: Until MariaDB 10.4, MariaDB accepts the shortcut format with a\nREFERENCES clause only in ALTER TABLE and CREATE TABLE statements, but that\nsyntax does nothing. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE b(for_key INT REFERENCES a(not_key));\n\nMariaDB simply parses it without returning any error or warning, for\ncompatibility with other DBMS\'s. Before MariaDB 10.2.1 this was also true for\nCHECK constraints. However, only the syntax described below creates foreign\nkeys.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.5, MariaDB will attempt to apply the constraint. See Foreign\nKeys examples.\n\nEach definition either creates a column in the table or specifies and index or\nconstraint on one or more columns. See Indexes below for details on creating\nindexes.\n\nCreate a column by specifying a column name and a data type, optionally\nfollowed by column options. See Data Types for a full list of data types\nallowed in MariaDB.\n\nNULL and NOT NULL\n-----------------\n\nUse the NULL or NOT NULL options to specify that values in the column may or\nmay not be NULL, respectively. By default, values may be NULL. See also NULL\nValues in MariaDB.\n\nDEFAULT Column Option\n---------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.1\n----------------------------\nThe DEFAULT clause was enhanced in MariaDB 10.2.1. Some enhancements include\n\n* BLOB and TEXT columns now support DEFAULT.\n* The DEFAULT clause can now be used with an expression or function.\n\nSpecify a default value using the DEFAULT clause. If you don\'t specify DEFAULT\nthen the following rules apply:\n\n* If the column is not defined with NOT NULL, AUTO_INCREMENT or TIMESTAMP, an\nexplicit DEFAULT NULL will be added.\nNote that in MySQL and in MariaDB before 10.1.6, you may get an explicit\nDEFAULT for primary key parts, if not specified with NOT NULL.\n\nThe default value will be used if you INSERT a row without specifying a value\nfor that column, or if you specify DEFAULT for that column. Before MariaDB\n10.2.1 you couldn\'t usually provide an expression or function to evaluate at\ninsertion time. You had to provide a constant default value instead. The one\nexception is that you may use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default value for a\nTIMESTAMP column to use the current timestamp at insertion time.\n\nCURRENT_TIMESTAMP may also be used as the default value for a DATETIME\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.2.1 you can use most functions in DEFAULT. Expressions should\nhave parentheses around them. If you use a non deterministic function in\nDEFAULT then all inserts to the table will be replicated in row mode. You can\neven refer to earlier columns in the DEFAULT expression (excluding\nAUTO_INCREMENT columns):\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a int DEFAULT (1+1), b int DEFAULT (a+1));\nCREATE TABLE t2 (a bigint primary key DEFAULT UUID_SHORT());\n\nThe DEFAULT clause cannot contain any stored functions or subqueries, and a\ncolumn used in the clause must already have been defined earlier in the\nstatement.\n\nSince MariaDB 10.2.1, it is possible to assign BLOB or TEXT columns a DEFAULT\nvalue. In earlier versions, assigning a default to these columns was not\npossible.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nStarting from 10.3.3 you can also use DEFAULT (NEXT VALUE FOR sequence)\n\nAUTO_INCREMENT Column Option\n----------------------------\n\nUse AUTO_INCREMENT to create a column whose value can can be set automatically\nfrom a simple counter. You can only use AUTO_INCREMENT on a column with an\ninteger type. The column must be a key, and there can only be one\nAUTO_INCREMENT column in a table. If you insert a row without specifying a\nvalue for that column (or if you specify 0, NULL, or DEFAULT as the value),\nthe actual value will be taken from the counter, with each insertion\nincrementing the counter by one. You can still insert a value explicitly. If\nyou insert a value that is greater than the current counter value, the counter\nis set based on the new value. An AUTO_INCREMENT column is implicitly NOT\nNULL. Use LAST_INSERT_ID to get the AUTO_INCREMENT value most recently used by\nan INSERT statement.\n\nZEROFILL Column Option\n----------------------\n\nIf the ZEROFILL column option is specified for a column using a numeric data\ntype, then the column will be set to UNSIGNED and the spaces used by default\nto pad the field are replaced with zeros. ZEROFILL is ignored in expressions\nor as part of a UNION. ZEROFILL is a non-standard MySQL and MariaDB\nenhancement.\n\nPRIMARY KEY Column Option\n-------------------------\n\nUse PRIMARY KEY to make a column a primary key. A primary key is a special\ntype of a unique key. There can be at most one primary key per table, and it\nis implicitly NOT NULL.\n\nSpecifying a column as a unique key creates a unique index on that column. See\nthe Index Definitions section below for more information.\n\nUNIQUE KEY Column Option\n------------------------\n\nUse UNIQUE KEY (or just UNIQUE) to specify that all values in the column must\nbe distinct from each other. Unless the column is NOT NULL, there may be\nmultiple rows with NULL in the column.\n\nSpecifying a column as a unique key creates a unique index on that column. See\nthe Index Definitions section below for more information.\n\nCOMMENT Column Option\n---------------------\n\nYou can provide a comment for each column using the COMMENT clause. The\nmaximum length is 1024 characters. Use the SHOW FULL COLUMNS statement to see\ncolumn comments.\n\nREF_SYSTEM_ID\n-------------\n\nREF_SYSTEM_ID can be used to specify Spatial Reference System IDs for spatial\ndata type columns. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1(g GEOMETRY(9,4) REF_SYSTEM_ID=101);\n\nGenerated Columns\n-----------------\n\nA generated column is a column in a table that cannot explicitly be set to a\nspecific value in a DML query. Instead, its value is automatically generated\nbased on an expression. This expression might generate the value based on the\nvalues of other columns in the table, or it might generate the value by\ncalling built-in functions or user-defined functions (UDFs).\n\nThere are two types of generated columns:\n\n* PERSISTENT or STORED: This type\'s value is actually stored in the table.','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-table/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n* VIRTUAL: This type\'s value is not stored at all. Instead, the value is\ngenerated dynamically when the table is queried. This type is the default.\n\nGenerated columns are also sometimes called computed columns or virtual\ncolumns.\n\nFor a complete description about generated columns and their limitations, see\nGenerated (Virtual and Persistent/Stored) Columns.\n\nCOMPRESSED\n----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nCertain columns may be compressed. See Storage-Engine Independent Column\nCompression.\n\nINVISIBLE\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nColumns may be made invisible, and hidden in certain contexts. See Invisible\nColumns.\n\nWITH SYSTEM VERSIONING Column Option\n------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.4\n----------------------------\nColumns may be explicitly marked as included from system versioning. See\nSystem-versioned tables for details.\n\nWITHOUT SYSTEM VERSIONING Column Option\n---------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.4\n----------------------------\nColumns may be explicitly marked as excluded from system versioning. See\nSystem-versioned tables for details.\n\nIndex Definitions\n-----------------\n\nindex_definition:\n {INDEX|KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...) [index_option]\n...\n {{{|}}} {FULLTEXT|SPATIAL} [INDEX|KEY] [index_name] (index_col_name,...)\n[index_option] ...\n {{{|}}} [CONSTRAINT [symbol]] PRIMARY KEY [index_type] (index_col_name,...)\n[index_option] ...\n {{{|}}} [CONSTRAINT [symbol]] UNIQUE [INDEX|KEY] [index_name] [index_type]\n(index_col_name,...)

They are also not the \"specialized\" FULLTEXT or\nSPATIAL indexes.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Plain Indexes for more information.\n\nPRIMARY KEY\n-----------\n\nFor PRIMARY KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the index, but it is\nignored, and the name of the index is always PRIMARY. From MariaDB 10.3.18 and\nMariaDB 10.4.8, a warning is explicitly issued if a name is specified. Before\nthen, the name was silently ignored.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Primary Key for more information.\n\nUNIQUE\n------\n\nThe UNIQUE keyword means that the index will not accept duplicated values,\nexcept for NULLs. An error will raise if you try to insert duplicate values in\na UNIQUE index.\n\nFor UNIQUE indexes, you can specify a name for the constraint, using the\nCONSTRAINT keyword. That name will be used in error messages.\n\nSee Getting Started with Indexes: Unique Index for more information.\n\nFOREIGN KEY\n-----------\n\nFor FOREIGN KEY indexes, a reference definition must be provided.\n\nFor FOREIGN KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the constraint, using the\nCONSTRAINT keyword. That name will be used in error messages.\n\nFirst, you have to specify the name of the target (parent) table and a column\nor a column list which must be indexed and whose values must match to the\nforeign key\'s values. The MATCH clause is accepted to improve the\ncompatibility with other DBMS\'s, but has no meaning in MariaDB. The ON DELETE\nand ON UPDATE clauses specify what must be done when a DELETE (or a REPLACE)\nstatements attempts to delete a referenced row from the parent table, and when\nan UPDATE statement attempts to modify the referenced foreign key columns in a\nparent table row, respectively. The following options are allowed:\n\n* RESTRICT: The delete/update operation is not performed. The statement\nterminates with a 1451 error (SQLSTATE \'2300\').\n* NO ACTION: Synonym for RESTRICT.\n* CASCADE: The delete/update operation is performed in both tables.\n* SET NULL: The update or delete goes ahead in the parent table, and the\ncorresponding foreign key fields in the child table are set to NULL. (They\nmust not be defined as NOT NULL for this to succeed).\n* SET DEFAULT: This option is currently implemented only for the PBXT storage\nengine, which is disabled by default and no longer maintained. It sets the\nchild table\'s foreign key fields to their DEFAULT values when the referenced\nparent table key entries are updated or deleted.\n\nIf either clause is omitted, the default behavior for the omitted clause is\nRESTRICT.\n\nSee Foreign Keys for more information.\n\nFULLTEXT\n--------\n\nUse the FULLTEXT keyword to create full-text indexes.\n\nSee Full-Text Indexes for more information.\n\nSPATIAL\n-------\n\nUse the SPATIAL keyword to create geometric indexes.\n\nSee SPATIAL INDEX for more information.\n\nIndex Options\n-------------\n\nKEY_BLOCK_SIZE Index Option\n---------------------------\n\nThe KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option is similar to the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option.\n\nWith the InnoDB storage engine, if you specify a non-zero value for the\nKEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option for the whole table, then the table will\nimplicitly be created with the ROW_FORMAT table option set to COMPRESSED.\nHowever, this does not happen if you just set the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option\nfor one or more indexes in the table. The InnoDB storage engine ignores the\nKEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option. However, the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement may\nstill report it for the index.\n\nFor information about the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option, see the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE\ntable option below.\n\nIndex Types\n-----------\n\nEach storage engine supports some or all index types. See Storage Engine Index\nTypes for details on permitted index types for each storage engine.\n\nDifferent index types are optimized for different kind of operations:\n\n* BTREE is the default type, and normally is the best choice. It is supported\nby all storage engines. It can be used to compare a column\'s value with a\nvalue using the =, >, >=, <, <=, BETWEEN, and LIKE operators. BTREE can also\nbe used to find NULL values. Searches against an index prefix are possible.\n* HASH is only supported by the MEMORY storage engine. HASH indexes can only\nbe used for =, <=, and >= comparisons. It can not be used for the ORDER BY\nclause. Searches against an index prefix are not possible.\n* RTREE is the default for SPATIAL indexes, but if the storage engine does not\nsupport it BTREE can be used.\n\nIndex columns names are listed between parenthesis. After each column, a\nprefix length can be specified. If no length is specified, the whole column\nwill be indexed. ASC and DESC can be specified for compatibility with are\nDBMS\'s, but have no meaning in MariaDB.\n\nWITH PARSER Index Option\n------------------------\n\nThe WITH PARSER index option only applies to FULLTEXT indexes and contains the\nfulltext parser name. The fulltext parser must be an installed plugin.\n\nCOMMENT Index Option\n--------------------\n\nA comment of up to 1024 characters is permitted with the COMMENT index option.\n\nThe COMMENT index option allows you to specify a comment with user-readable\ntext describing what the index is for. This information is not used by the\nserver itself.\n\nCLUSTERING Index Option\n-----------------------\n\nThe CLUSTERING index option is only valid for tables using the TokuDB storage\nengine.\n\nIGNORED / NOT IGNORED\n---------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.0\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.6.0, indexes can be specified to be ignored by the optimizer.\nSee Ignored Indexes.\n\nPeriods\n-------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.4\n----------------------------\n\nperiod_definition:\n PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (start_column_name, end_column_name)\nMariaDB supports a subset of the standard syntax for periods. At the moment\nit\'s only used for creating System-versioned tables. Both columns must be\ncreated, must be either of a TIMESTAMP(6) or BIGINT UNSIGNED type, and be\ngenerated as ROW START and ROW END accordingly. See System-versioned tables\nfor details.\n\nThe table must also have the WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING clause.\n\nConstraint Expressions\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.1\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.2.1 introduced new ways to define a constraint.\n\nNote: Before MariaDB 10.2.1, constraint expressions were accepted in the\nsyntax but ignored.\n\nMariaDB 10.2.1 introduced two ways to define a constraint:\n\n* CHECK(expression) given as part of a column definition.\n* CONSTRAINT [constraint_name] CHECK (expression)\n\nBefore a row is inserted or updated, all constraints are evaluated in the\norder they are defined. If any constraints fails, then the row will not be\nupdated. One can use most deterministic functions in a constraint, including\nUDFs.\n\ncreate table t1 (a int check(a>0) ,b int check (b> 0), constraint abc check\n(a>b));\n\nIf you use the second format and you don\'t give a name to the constraint, then\nthe constraint will get a auto generated name. This is done so that you can\nlater delete the constraint with ALTER TABLE DROP constraint_name.\n\nOne can disable all constraint expression checks by setting the variable\ncheck_constraint_checks to OFF. This is useful for example when loading a\ntable that violates some constraints that you want to later find and fix in\nSQL.\n\nSee CONSTRAINT for more information.\n\nTable Options\n-------------\n\nFor each individual table you create (or alter), you can set some table\noptions. The general syntax for setting options is:\n\n<OPTION_NAME> = <option_value>, [<OPTION_NAME> = <option_value> ...]\n\nThe equal sign is optional.\n\nSome options are supported by the server and can be used for all tables, no\nmatter what storage engine they use; other options can be specified for all\nstorage engines, but have a meaning only for some engines. Also, engines can\nextend CREATE TABLE with new options.\n\nIf the IGNORE_BAD_TABLE_OPTIONS SQL_MODE is enabled, wrong table options\ngenerate a warning; otherwise, they generate an error.\n\ntable_option: \n [STORAGE] ENGINE [=] engine_name\n | AUTO_INCREMENT [=] value\n | AVG_ROW_LENGTH [=] value\n | [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET [=] charset_name\n | CHECKSUM [=] {0 | 1}\n | [DEFAULT] COLLATE [=] collation_name\n | COMMENT [=] \'string\'\n | CONNECTION [=] \'connect_string\'\n | DATA DIRECTORY [=] \'absolute path to directory\'\n | DELAY_KEY_WRITE [=] {0 | 1}\n | ENCRYPTED [=] {YES | NO}\n | ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID [=] value\n | IETF_QUOTES [=] {YES | NO}\n | INDEX DIRECTORY [=] \'absolute path to directory\'\n | INSERT_METHOD [=] { NO | FIRST | LAST }\n | KEY_BLOCK_SIZE [=] value\n | MAX_ROWS [=] value\n | MIN_ROWS [=] value\n | PACK_KEYS [=] {0 | 1 | DEFAULT}\n | PAGE_CHECKSUM [=] {0 | 1}\n | PAGE_COMPRESSED [=] {0 | 1}\n | PAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL [=] {0 .. 9}\n | PASSWORD [=] \'string\'\n | ROW_FORMAT [=] {DEFAULT|DYNAMIC|FIXED|COMPRESSED|REDUNDANT|COMPACT|PAGE}\n | SEQUENCE [=] {0|1}\n | STATS_AUTO_RECALC [=] {DEFAULT|0|1}\n | STATS_PERSISTENT [=] {DEFAULT|0|1}\n | STATS_SAMPLE_PAGES [=] {DEFAULT|value}\n | TABLESPACE tablespace_name\n | TRANSACTIONAL [=] {0 | 1}\n | UNION [=] (tbl_name[,tbl_name]...)\n | WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n\n[STORAGE] ENGINE\n----------------\n\n[STORAGE] ENGINE specifies a storage engine for the table. If this option is\nnot used, the default storage engine is used instead. That is, the\ndefault_storage_engine session option value if it is set, or the value\nspecified for the --default-storage-engine mysqld startup option, or the\ndefault storage engine, InnoDB. If the specified storage engine is not\ninstalled and active, the default value will be used, unless the\nNO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION SQL MODE is set (default). This is only true for CREATE\nTABLE, not for ALTER TABLE. For a list of storage engines that are present in\nyour server, issue a SHOW ENGINES.\n\nAUTO_INCREMENT\n--------------\n\nAUTO_INCREMENT specifies the initial value for the AUTO_INCREMENT primary key.\nThis works for MyISAM, Aria, InnoDB, MEMORY, and ARCHIVE tables. You can\nchange this option with ALTER TABLE, but in that case the new value must be\nhigher than the highest value which is present in the AUTO_INCREMENT column.\nIf the storage engine does not support this option, you can insert (and then\ndelete) a row having the wanted value - 1 in the AUTO_INCREMENT column.\n\nAVG_ROW_LENGTH\n--------------\n\nAVG_ROW_LENGTH is the average rows size. It only applies to tables using\nMyISAM and Aria storage engines that have the ROW_FORMAT table option set to\nFIXED format.\n\nMyISAM uses MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_LENGTH to decide the maximum size of a table\n(default: 256TB, or the maximum file size allowed by the system).\n\n[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET/CHARSET\n-------------------------------\n\n[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET (or [DEFAULT] CHARSET) is used to set a default\ncharacter set for the table. This is the character set used for all columns\nwhere an explicit character set is not specified. If this option is omitted or\nDEFAULT is specified, database\'s default character set will be used. See\nSetting Character Sets and Collations for details on setting the character\nsets.\n\nCHECKSUM/TABLE_CHECKSUM\n-----------------------\n\nCHECKSUM (or TABLE_CHECKSUM) can be set to 1 to maintain a live checksum for\nall table\'s rows. This makes write operations slower, but CHECKSUM TABLE will\nbe very fast. This option is only supported for MyISAM and Aria tables.\n\n[DEFAULT] COLLATE\n-----------------\n\n[DEFAULT] COLLATE is used to set a default collation for the table. This is\nthe collation used for all columns where an explicit character set is not\nspecified. If this option is omitted or DEFAULT is specified, database\'s') WHERE help_topic_id = 700; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\ndefault option will be used. See Setting Character Sets and Collations for\ndetails on setting the collations\n\nCOMMENT\n-------\n\nCOMMENT is a comment for the table. The maximum length is 2048 characters.\nAlso used to define table parameters when creating a Spider table.\n\nCONNECTION\n----------\n\nCONNECTION is used to specify a server name or a connection string for a\nSpider, CONNECT, Federated or FederatedX table.\n\nDATA DIRECTORY/INDEX DIRECTORY\n------------------------------\n\nDATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY are supported for MyISAM and Aria, and DATA\nDIRECTORY is also supported by InnoDB if the innodb_file_per_table server\nsystem variable is enabled, but only in CREATE TABLE, not in ALTER TABLE. So,\ncarefully choose a path for InnoDB tables at creation time, because it cannot\nbe changed without dropping and re-creating the table. These options specify\nthe paths for data files and index files, respectively. If these options are\nomitted, the database\'s directory will be used to store data files and index\nfiles. Note that these table options do not work for partitioned tables (use\nthe partition options instead), or if the server has been invoked with the\n--skip-symbolic-links startup option. To avoid the overwriting of old files\nwith the same name that could be present in the directories, you can use the\n--keep_files_on_create option (an error will be issued if files already\nexist). These options are ignored if the NO_DIR_IN_CREATE SQL_MODE is enabled\n(useful for replication slaves). Also note that symbolic links cannot be used\nfor InnoDB tables.\n\nDATA DIRECTORY works by creating symlinks from where the table would normally\nhave been (inside the datadir) to where the option specifies. For security\nreasons, to avoid bypassing the privilege system, the server does not permit\nsymlinks inside the datadir. Therefore, DATA DIRECTORY cannot be used to\nspecify a location inside the datadir. An attempt to do so will result in an\nerror 1210 (HY000) Incorrect arguments to DATA DIRECTORY.\n\nDELAY_KEY_WRITE\n---------------\n\nDELAY_KEY_WRITE is supported by MyISAM and Aria, and can be set to 1 to speed\nup write operations. In that case, when data are modified, the indexes are not\nupdated until the table is closed. Writing the changes to the index file\naltogether can be much faster. However, note that this option is applied only\nif the delay_key_write server variable is set to \'ON\'. If it is \'OFF\' the\ndelayed index writes are always disabled, and if it is \'ALL\' the delayed index\nwrites are always used, disregarding the value of DELAY_KEY_WRITE.\n\nENCRYPTED\n---------\n\nThe ENCRYPTED table option can be used to manually set the encryption status\nof an InnoDB table. See InnoDB Encryption for more information.\n\nAria does not support the ENCRYPTED table option. See MDEV-18049.\n\nSee Data-at-Rest Encryption for more information.\n\nENCRYPTION_KEY_ID\n-----------------\n\nThe ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID table option can be used to manually set the encryption\nkey of an InnoDB table. See InnoDB Encryption for more information.\n\nAria does not support the ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID table option. See MDEV-18049.\n\nSee Data-at-Rest Encryption for more information.\n\nIETF_QUOTES\n-----------\n\nFor the CSV storage engine, the IETF_QUOTES option, when set to YES, enables\nIETF-compatible parsing of embedded quote and comma characters. Enabling this\noption for a table improves compatibility with other tools that use CSV, but\nis not compatible with MySQL CSV tables, or MariaDB CSV tables created without\nthis option. Disabled by default.\n\nINSERT_METHOD\n-------------\n\nINSERT_METHOD is only used with MERGE tables. This option determines in which\nunderlying table the new rows should be inserted. If you set it to \'NO\' (which\nis the default) no new rows can be added to the table (but you will still be\nable to perform INSERTs directly against the underlying tables). FIRST means\nthat the rows are inserted into the first table, and LAST means that thet are\ninserted into the last table.\n\nKEY_BLOCK_SIZE\n--------------\n\nKEY_BLOCK_SIZE is used to determine the size of key blocks, in bytes or\nkilobytes. However, this value is just a hint, and the storage engine could\nmodify or ignore it. If KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is set to 0, the storage engine\'s\ndefault value will be used.\n\nWith the InnoDB storage engine, if you specify a non-zero value for the\nKEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option for the whole table, then the table will\nimplicitly be created with the ROW_FORMAT table option set to COMPRESSED.\n\nMIN_ROWS/MAX_ROWS\n-----------------\n\nMIN_ROWS and MAX_ROWS let the storage engine know how many rows you are\nplanning to store as a minimum and as a maximum. These values will not be used\nas real limits, but they help the storage engine to optimize the table.\nMIN_ROWS is only used by MEMORY storage engine to decide the minimum memory\nthat is always allocated. MAX_ROWS is used to decide the minimum size for\nindexes.\n\nPACK_KEYS\n---------\n\nPACK_KEYS can be used to determine whether the indexes will be compressed. Set\nit to 1 to compress all keys. With a value of 0, compression will not be used.\nWith the DEFAULT value, only long strings will be compressed. Uncompressed\nkeys are faster.\n\nPAGE_CHECKSUM\n-------------\n\nPAGE_CHECKSUM is only applicable to Aria tables, and determines whether\nindexes and data should use page checksums for extra safety.\n\nPAGE_COMPRESSED\n---------------\n\nPAGE_COMPRESSED is used to enable InnoDB page compression for InnoDB tables.\n\nPAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL\n----------------------\n\nPAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL is used to set the compression level for InnoDB page\ncompression for InnoDB tables. The table must also have the PAGE_COMPRESSED\ntable option set to 1.\n\nValid values for PAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL are 1 (the best speed) through 9 (the\nbest compression), .\n\nPASSWORD\n--------\n\nPASSWORD is unused.\n\nRAID_TYPE\n---------\n\nRAID_TYPE is an obsolete option, as the raid support has been disabled since\nMySQL 5.0.\n\nROW_FORMAT\n----------\n\nThe ROW_FORMAT table option specifies the row format for the data file.\nPossible values are engine-dependent.\n\nSupported MyISAM Row Formats\n----------------------------\n\nFor MyISAM, the supported row formats are:\n\n* FIXED\n* DYNAMIC\n* COMPRESSED\n\nThe COMPRESSED row format can only be set by the myisampack command line tool.\n\nSee MyISAM Storage Formats for more information.\n\nSupported Aria Row Formats\n--------------------------\n\nFor Aria, the supported row formats are:\n\n* PAGE\n* FIXED\n* DYNAMIC.\n\nSee Aria Storage Formats for more information.\n\nSupported InnoDB Row Formats\n----------------------------\n\nFor InnoDB, the supported row formats are:\n\n* COMPACT\n* REDUNDANT\n* COMPRESSED\n* DYNAMIC.\n\nIf the ROW_FORMAT table option is set to FIXED for an InnoDB table, then the\nserver will either return an error or a warning depending on the value of the\ninnodb_strict_mode system variable. If the innodb_strict_mode system variable\nis set to OFF, then a warning is issued, and MariaDB will create the table\nusing the default row format for the specific MariaDB server version. If the\ninnodb_strict_mode system variable is set to ON, then an error will be raised.\n\nSee InnoDB Storage Formats for more information.\n\nOther Storage Engines and ROW_FORMAT\n------------------------------------\n\nOther storage engines do not support the ROW_FORMAT table option.\n\nSEQUENCE\n--------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nIf the table is a sequence, then it will have the SEQUENCE set to 1.\n\nSTATS_AUTO_RECALC\n-----------------\n\nSTATS_AUTO_RECALC indicates whether to automatically recalculate persistent\nstatistics (see STATS_PERSISTENT, below) for an InnoDB table. If set to 1,\nstatistics will be recalculated when more than 10% of the data has changed.\nWhen set to 0, stats will be recalculated only when an ANALYZE TABLE is run.\nIf set to DEFAULT, or left out, the value set by the innodb_stats_auto_recalc\nsystem variable applies. See InnoDB Persistent Statistics.\n\nSTATS_PERSISTENT\n----------------\n\nSTATS_PERSISTENT indicates whether the InnoDB statistics created by ANALYZE\nTABLE will remain on disk or not. It can be set to 1 (on disk), 0 (not on\ndisk, the pre-MariaDB 10 behavior), or DEFAULT (the same as leaving out the\noption), in which case the value set by the innodb_stats_persistent system\nvariable will apply. Persistent statistics stored on disk allow the statistics\nto survive server restarts, and provide better query plan stability. See\nInnoDB Persistent Statistics.\n\nSTATS_SAMPLE_PAGES\n------------------\n\nSTATS_SAMPLE_PAGES indicates how many pages are used to sample index\nstatistics. If 0 or DEFAULT, the default value, the innodb_stats_sample_pages\nvalue is used. See InnoDB Persistent Statistics.\n\nTRANSACTIONAL\n-------------\n\nTRANSACTIONAL is only applicable for Aria tables. In future Aria tables\ncreated with this option will be fully transactional, but currently this\nprovides a form of crash protection. See Aria Storage Engine for more details.\n\nUNION\n-----\n\nUNION must be specified when you create a MERGE table. This option contains a\ncomma-separated list of MyISAM tables which are accessed by the new table. The\nlist is enclosed between parenthesis. Example: UNION = (t1,t2)\n\nWITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n----------------------\n\nWITH SYSTEM VERSIONING is used for creating System-versioned tables.\n\nPartitions\n----------\n\npartition_options:\n PARTITION BY\n { [LINEAR] HASH(expr)\n | [LINEAR] KEY(column_list)\n | RANGE(expr)\n | LIST(expr)\n | SYSTEM_TIME [INTERVAL time_quantity time_unit] [LIMIT num] }\n [PARTITIONS num]\n [SUBPARTITION BY\n { [LINEAR] HASH(expr)\n | [LINEAR] KEY(column_list) }\n [SUBPARTITIONS num]\n ]\n [(partition_definition [, partition_definition] ...)]\npartition_definition:\n PARTITION partition_name\n [VALUES {LESS THAN {(expr) | MAXVALUE} | IN (value_list)}]\n [[STORAGE] ENGINE [=] engine_name]\n [COMMENT [=] \'comment_text\' ]\n [DATA DIRECTORY [=] \'data_dir\']\n [INDEX DIRECTORY [=] \'index_dir\']\n [MAX_ROWS [=] max_number_of_rows]\n [MIN_ROWS [=] min_number_of_rows]\n [TABLESPACE [=] tablespace_name]\n [NODEGROUP [=] node_group_id]\n [(subpartition_definition [, subpartition_definition] ...)]\nsubpartition_definition:\n SUBPARTITION logical_name\n [[STORAGE] ENGINE [=] engine_name]\n [COMMENT [=] \'comment_text\' ]\n [DATA DIRECTORY [=] \'data_dir\']\n [INDEX DIRECTORY [=] \'index_dir\']\n [MAX_ROWS [=] max_number_of_rows]\n [MIN_ROWS [=] min_number_of_rows]\n [TABLESPACE [=] tablespace_name]\n [NODEGROUP [=] node_group_id]\nIf the PARTITION BY clause is used, the table will be partitioned. A partition\nmethod must be explicitly indicated for partitions and subpartitions.\nPartition methods are:\n\n* [LINEAR] HASH creates a hash key which will be used to read and write rows.\nThe partition function can be any valid SQL expression which returns an\nINTEGER number. Thus, it is possible to use the HASH method on an integer\ncolumn, or on functions which accept integer columns as an argument. However,\nVALUES LESS THAN and VALUES IN clauses can not be used with HASH. An example:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b CHAR(5), c DATETIME)\n PARTITION BY HASH ( YEAR(c) );\n\n[LINEAR] HASH can be used for subpartitions, too.\n\n* [LINEAR] KEY is similar to HASH, but the index has an even distribution of\ndata. Also, the expression can only be a column or a list of columns. VALUES\nLESS THAN and VALUES IN clauses can not be used with KEY.\n* RANGE partitions the rows using on a range of values, using the VALUES LESS\nTHAN operator. VALUES IN is not allowed with RANGE. The partition function can\nbe any valid SQL expression which returns a single value.\n* LIST assigns partitions based on a table\'s column with a restricted set of\npossible values. It is similar to RANGE, but VALUES IN must be used for at\nleast 1 columns, and VALUES LESS THAN is disallowed.\n* SYSTEM_TIME partitioning is used for System-versioned tables to store\nhistorical data separately from current data.\n\nOnly HASH and KEY can be used for subpartitions, and they can be [LINEAR].\n\nIt is possible to define up to 1024 partitions and subpartitions.\n\nThe number of defined partitions can be optionally specified as PARTITION\ncount. This can be done to avoid specifying all partitions individually. But\nyou can also declare each individual partition and, additionally, specify a\nPARTITIONS count clause; in the case, the number of PARTITIONs must equal\ncount.\n\nAlso see Partitioning Types Overview.\n\nSequences\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nCREATE TABLE can also be used to create a SEQUENCE. See CREATE SEQUENCE and\nSequence Overview.\n\nAtomic DDL\n----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.1\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.6.1 supports Atomic DDL. CREATE TABLE is atomic, except for CREATE\nOR REPLACE, which is only crash safe.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\ncreate table if not exists test (\na bigint auto_increment primary key,\nname varchar(128) charset utf8,\nkey name (name(32))\n) engine=InnoDB default charset latin1;\n\nThis example shows a couple of things:\n\n* Usage of IF NOT EXISTS; If the table already existed, it will not be\ncreated. There will not be any error for the client, just a warning.\n* How to create a PRIMARY KEY that is automatically generated.\n* How to specify a table-specific character set and another for a column.\n* How to create an index (name) that is only partly indexed (to save space).\n\nThe following clauses will work from MariaDB 10.2.1 only.\n\nCREATE TABLE t1(\n a int DEFAULT (1+1),\n b int DEFAULT (a+1),\n expires DATETIME DEFAULT(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 YEAR),\n x BLOB DEFAULT USER()\n);\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-table/') WHERE help_topic_id = 700; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (701,38,'DROP TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nDROP [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF EXISTS] [/*COMMENT TO SAVE*/]\n tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...\n [WAIT n|NOWAIT]\n [RESTRICT | CASCADE]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nDROP TABLE removes one or more tables. You must have the DROP privilege for\neach table. All table data and the table definition are removed, as well as\ntriggers associated to the table, so be careful with this statement! If any of\nthe tables named in the argument list do not exist, MariaDB returns an error\nindicating by name which non-existing tables it was unable to drop, but it\nalso drops all of the tables in the list that do exist.\n\nImportant: When a table is dropped, user privileges on the table are not\nautomatically dropped. See GRANT.\n\nIf another thread is using the table in an explicit transaction or an\nautocommit transaction, then the thread acquires a metadata lock (MDL) on the\ntable. The DROP TABLE statement will wait in the \"Waiting for table metadata\nlock\" thread state until the MDL is released. MDLs are released in the\nfollowing cases:\n\n* If an MDL is acquired in an explicit transaction, then the MDL will be\nreleased when the transaction ends.\n* If an MDL is acquired in an autocommit transaction, then the MDL will be\nreleased when the statement ends.\n* Transactional and non-transactional tables are handled the same.\n\nNote that for a partitioned table, DROP TABLE permanently removes the table\ndefinition, all of its partitions, and all of the data which was stored in\nthose partitions. It also removes the partitioning definition (.par) file\nassociated with the dropped table.\n\nFor each referenced table, DROP TABLE drops a temporary table with that name,\nif it exists. If it does not exist, and the TEMPORARY keyword is not used, it\ndrops a non-temporary table with the same name, if it exists. The TEMPORARY\nkeyword ensures that a non-temporary table will not accidentally be dropped.\n\nUse IF EXISTS to prevent an error from occurring for tables that do not exist.\nA NOTE is generated for each non-existent table when using IF EXISTS. See SHOW\nWARNINGS.\n\nIf a foreign key references this table, the table cannot be dropped. In this\ncase, it is necessary to drop the foreign key first.\n\nRESTRICT and CASCADE are allowed to make porting from other database systems\neasier. In MariaDB, they do nothing.\n\nThe comment before the table names (/*COMMENT TO SAVE*/) is stored in the\nbinary log. That feature can be used by replication tools to send their\ninternal messages.\n\nIt is possible to specify table names as db_name.tab_name. This is useful to\ndelete tables from multiple databases with one statement. See Identifier\nQualifiers for details.\n\nThe DROP privilege is required to use DROP TABLE on non-temporary tables. For\ntemporary tables, no privilege is required, because such tables are only\nvisible for the current session.\n\nNote: DROP TABLE automatically commits the current active transaction, unless\nyou use the TEMPORARY keyword.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.4\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.5.4, DROP TABLE reliably deletes table remnants inside a\nstorage engine even if the .frm file is missing. Before then, a missing .frm\nfile would result in the statement failing.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.1\n----------------------------\n\nWAIT/NOWAIT\n-----------\n\nSet the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.\n\nDROP TABLE in replication\n-------------------------\n\nDROP TABLE has the following characteristics in replication:\n\n* DROP TABLE IF EXISTS are always logged.\n* DROP TABLE without IF EXISTS for tables that don\'t exist are not written to\nthe binary log.\n* Dropping of TEMPORARY tables are prefixed in the log with TEMPORARY. These\ndrops are only logged when running statement or mixed mode replication.\n* One DROP TABLE statement can be logged with up to 3 different DROP\nstatements:\nDROP TEMPORARY TABLE list_of_non_transactional_temporary_tables\nDROP TEMPORARY TABLE list_of_transactional_temporary_tables\nDROP TABLE list_of_normal_tables\n\nDROP TABLE on the primary is treated on the replica as DROP TABLE IF EXISTS.\nYou can change that by setting slave-ddl-exec-mode to STRICT.\n\nDropping an Internal #sql-... Table\n-----------------------------------\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.6, DROP TABLE is atomic and the following does not apply.\nUntil MariaDB 10.5, if the mariadbd/mysqld process is killed during an ALTER\nTABLE you may find a table named #sql-... in your data directory. In MariaDB\n10.3, InnoDB tables with this prefix will be deleted automatically during\nstartup. From MariaDB 10.4, these temporary tables will always be deleted\nautomatically.\n\nIf you want to delete one of these tables explicitly you can do so by using\nthe following syntax:\n\nDROP TABLE `#mysql50##sql-...`;\n\nWhen running an ALTER TABLE…ALGORITHM=INPLACE that rebuilds the table, InnoDB\nwill create an internal #sql-ib table. Until MariaDB 10.3.2, for these tables,\nthe .frm file will be called something else. In order to drop such a table\nafter a server crash, you must rename the #sql*.frm file to match the\n#sql-ib*.ibd file.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.3, the same name as the .frm file is used for the\nintermediate copy of the table. The #sql-ib names are used by TRUNCATE and\ndelayed DROP.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.2.19 and MariaDB 10.3.10, the #sql-ib tables will be deleted\nautomatically.\n\nDropping All Tables in a Database\n---------------------------------\n\nThe best way to drop all tables in a database is by executing DROP DATABASE,\nwhich will drop the database itself, and all tables in it.\n\nHowever, if you want to drop all tables in the database, but you also want to\nkeep the database itself and any other non-table objects in it, then you would\nneed to execute DROP TABLE to drop each individual table. You can construct\nthese DROP TABLE commands by querying the TABLES table in the\ninformation_schema database. For example:\n\nSELECT CONCAT(\'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `\', TABLE_SCHEMA, \'`.`\', TABLE_NAME, \'`;\')\nFROM information_schema.TABLES\nWHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = \'mydb\';\n\nAtomic DROP TABLE\n-----------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.1\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.6, DROP TABLE for a single table is atomic (MDEV-25180) for\nmost engines, including InnoDB, MyRocks, MyISAM and Aria.\n\nThis means that if there is a crash (server down or power outage) during DROP\nTABLE, all tables that have been processed so far will be completely dropped,\nincluding related trigger files and status entries, and the binary log will\ninclude a DROP TABLE statement for the dropped tables. Tables for which the\ndrop had not started will be left intact.\n\nIn older MariaDB versions, there was a small chance that, during a server\ncrash happening in the middle of DROP TABLE, some storage engines that were\nusing multiple storage files, like MyISAM, could have only a part of its\ninternal files dropped.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.5, DROP TABLE was extended to be able to delete a table that was\nonly partly dropped (MDEV-11412) as explained above. Atomic DROP TABLE is the\nfinal piece to make DROP TABLE fully reliable.\n\nDropping multiple tables is crash-safe.\n\nSee Atomic DDL for more information.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nDROP TABLE Employees, Customers;\n\nNotes\n-----\n\nBeware that DROP TABLE can drop both tables and sequences. This is mainly done\nto allow old tools like mysqldump to work with sequences.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-table/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-table/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (702,38,'RENAME TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nRENAME TABLE[S] [IF EXISTS] tbl_name \n [WAIT n | NOWAIT]\n TO new_tbl_name\n [, tbl_name2 TO new_tbl_name2] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis statement renames one or more tables or views, but not the privileges\nassociated with them.\n\nIF EXISTS\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.2\n----------------------------\nIf this directive is used, one will not get an error if the table to be\nrenamed doesn\'t exist.\n\nThe rename operation is done atomically, which means that no other session can\naccess any of the tables while the rename is running. For example, if you have\nan existing table old_table, you can create another table new_table that has\nthe same structure but is empty, and then replace the existing table with the\nempty one as follows (assuming that backup_table does not already exist):\n\nCREATE TABLE new_table (...);\nRENAME TABLE old_table TO backup_table, new_table TO old_table;\n\ntbl_name can optionally be specified as db_name.tbl_name. See Identifier\nQualifiers. This allows to use RENAME to move a table from a database to\nanother (as long as they are on the same filesystem):\n\nRENAME TABLE db1.t TO db2.t;\n\nNote that moving a table to another database is not possible if it has some\ntriggers. Trying to do so produces the following error:\n\nERROR 1435 (HY000): Trigger in wrong schema\n\nAlso, views cannot be moved to another database:\n\nERROR 1450 (HY000): Changing schema from \'old_db\' to \'new_db\' is not allowed.\n\nMultiple tables can be renamed in a single statement. The presence or absence\nof the optional S (RENAME TABLE or RENAME TABLES) has no impact, whether a\nsingle or multiple tables are being renamed.\n\nIf a RENAME TABLE renames more than one table and one renaming fails, all\nrenames executed by the same statement are rolled back.\n\nRenames are always executed in the specified order. Knowing this, it is also\npossible to swap two tables\' names:\n\nRENAME TABLE t1 TO tmp_table,\n t2 TO t1,\n tmp_table TO t2;\n\nWAIT/NOWAIT\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.0\n----------------------------\nSet the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nExecuting the RENAME TABLE statement requires the DROP, CREATE and INSERT\nprivileges for the table or the database.\n\nAtomic RENAME TABLE\n-------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.1\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.6, RENAME TABLE is atomic for most engines, including InnoDB,\nMyRocks, MyISAM and Aria (MDEV-23842). This means that if there is a crash\n(server down or power outage) during RENAME TABLE, all tables will revert to\ntheir original names and any changes to trigger files will be reverted.\n\nIn older MariaDB version there was a small chance that, during a server crash\nhappening in the middle of RENAME TABLE, some tables could have been renamed\n(in the worst case partly) while others would not be renamed.\n\nSee Atomic DDL for more information.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rename-table/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rename-table/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (703,38,'TRUNCATE TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nTRUNCATE [TABLE] tbl_name\n [WAIT n | NOWAIT]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nTRUNCATE TABLE empties a table completely. It requires the DROP privilege. See\nGRANT.\n\ntbl_name can also be specified in the form db_name.tbl_name (see Identifier\nQualifiers).\n\nLogically, TRUNCATE TABLE is equivalent to a DELETE statement that deletes all\nrows, but there are practical differences under some circumstances.\n\nTRUNCATE TABLE will fail for an InnoDB table if any FOREIGN KEY constraints\nfrom other tables reference the table, returning the error:\n\nERROR 1701 (42000): Cannot truncate a table referenced in a foreign key\nconstraint\n\nForeign Key constraints between columns in the same table are permitted.\n\nFor an InnoDB table, if there are no FOREIGN KEY constraints, InnoDB performs\nfast truncation by dropping the original table and creating an empty one with\nthe same definition, which is much faster than deleting rows one by one. The\nAUTO_INCREMENT counter is reset by TRUNCATE TABLE, regardless of whether there\nis a FOREIGN KEY constraint.\n\nThe count of rows affected by TRUNCATE TABLE is accurate only when it is\nmapped to a DELETE statement.\n\nFor other storage engines, TRUNCATE TABLE differs from DELETE in the following\nways:\n\n* Truncate operations drop and re-create the table, which is much\n faster than deleting rows one by one, particularly for large tables.\n* Truncate operations cause an implicit commit.\n* Truncation operations cannot be performed if the session holds an\n active table lock.\n* Truncation operations do not return a meaningful value for the number\n of deleted rows. The usual result is \"0 rows affected,\" which should\n be interpreted as \"no information.\"\n* As long as the table format file tbl_name.frm is valid, the\n table can be re-created as an empty table\n with TRUNCATE TABLE, even if the data or index files have become\n corrupted.\n* The table handler does not remember the last\n used AUTO_INCREMENT value, but starts counting\n from the beginning. This is true even for MyISAM and InnoDB, which normally\n do not reuse sequence values.\n* When used with partitioned tables, TRUNCATE TABLE preserves\n the partitioning; that is, the data and index files are dropped and\n re-created, while the partition definitions (.par) file is\n unaffected.\n* Since truncation of a table does not make any use of DELETE,\n the TRUNCATE statement does not invoke ON DELETE triggers.\n* TRUNCATE TABLE will only reset the values in the Performance Schema summary\ntables to zero or null, and will not remove the rows.\n\nFor the purposes of binary logging and replication, TRUNCATE TABLE is treated\nas DROP TABLE followed by CREATE TABLE (DDL rather than DML).\n\nTRUNCATE TABLE does not work on views. Currently, TRUNCATE TABLE drops all\nhistorical records from a system-versioned table.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.0\n----------------------------\n\nWAIT/NOWAIT\n-----------\n\nSet the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.\n\nOracle-mode\n-----------\n\nOracle-mode from MariaDB 10.3 permits the optional keywords REUSE STORAGE or\nDROP STORAGE to be used.\n\nTRUNCATE [TABLE] tbl_name [{DROP | REUSE} STORAGE] [WAIT n | NOWAIT]\n\nThese have no effect on the operation.\n\nPerformance\n-----------\n\nTRUNCATE TABLE is faster than DELETE, because it drops and re-creates a table.\n\nWith InnoDB, TRUNCATE TABLE is slower if innodb_file_per_table=ON is set (the\ndefault). This is because TRUNCATE TABLE unlinks the underlying tablespace\nfile, which can be an expensive operation. See MDEV-8069 for more details.\n\nThe performance issues with innodb_file_per_table=ON can be exacerbated in\ncases where the InnoDB buffer pool is very large and\ninnodb_adaptive_hash_index=ON is set. In that case, using DROP TABLE followed\nby CREATE TABLE instead of TRUNCATE TABLE may perform better. Setting\ninnodb_adaptive_hash_index=OFF (it defaults to ON before MariaDB 10.5) can\nalso help. In MariaDB 10.2 only, from MariaDB 10.2.19, this performance can\nalso be improved by setting innodb_safe_truncate=OFF. See MDEV-9459 for more\ndetails.\n\nSetting innodb_adaptive_hash_index=OFF can also improve TRUNCATE TABLE\nperformance in general.

It requires the EVENT\nprivilege for the schema in which the event is to be created.\n\nThe minimum requirements for a valid CREATE EVENT statement are as follows:\n\n* The keywords CREATE EVENT plus an event name, which uniquely identifies\n the event in the current schema. (Prior to MySQL 5.1.12, the event name\n needed to be unique only among events created by the same user on a given\n database.)\n* An ON SCHEDULE clause, which determines when and how often the event\n executes.\n* A DO clause, which contains the SQL statement to be executed by an\n event.\n\nHere is an example of a minimal CREATE EVENT statement:\n\nCREATE EVENT myevent\n ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 HOUR\n DO\n UPDATE myschema.mytable SET mycol = mycol + 1;\n\nThe previous statement creates an event named myevent. This event executes\nonce — one hour following its creation — by running an SQL statement that\nincrements the value of the myschema.mytable table\'s mycol column by 1.\n\nThe event_name must be a valid MariaDB identifier with a maximum length of 64\ncharacters. It may be delimited using back ticks, and may be qualified with\nthe name of a database schema. An event is associated with both a MariaDB user\n(the definer) and a schema, and its name must be unique among names of events\nwithin that schema. In general, the rules governing event names are the same\nas those for names of stored routines. See Identifier Names.\n\nIf no schema is indicated as part of event_name, the default (current) schema\nis assumed.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as event names, see Identifier Names.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nThe OR REPLACE clause was included in MariaDB 10.1.4. If used and the event\nalready exists, instead of an error being returned, the existing event will be\ndropped and replaced by the newly defined event.\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nIf the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of\nan error if the event already exists. Cannot be used together with OR REPLACE.\n\nON SCHEDULE\n-----------\n\nThe ON SCHEDULE clause can be used to specify when the event must be triggered.\n\nAT\n--\n\nIf you want to execute the event only once (one time event), you can use the\nAT keyword, followed by a timestamp. If you use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, the event\nacts as soon as it is created. As a convenience, you can add one or more\nintervals to that timestamp. You can also specify a timestamp in the past, so\nthat the event is stored but not triggered, until you modify it via ALTER\nEVENT.\n\nThe following example shows how to create an event that will be triggered\ntomorrow at a certain time:\n\nCREATE EVENT example\nON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 DAY + INTERVAL 3 HOUR\nDO something;\n\nYou can also specify that an event must be triggered at a regular interval\n(recurring event). In such cases, use the EVERY clause followed by the\ninterval.\n\nIf an event is recurring, you can specify when the first execution must happen\nvia the STARTS clause and a maximum time for the last execution via the ENDS\nclause. STARTS and ENDS clauses are followed by a timestamp and, optionally,\none or more intervals. The ENDS clause can specify a timestamp in the past, so\nthat the event is stored but not executed until you modify it via ALTER EVENT.\n\nIn the following example, next month a recurring event will be triggered\nhourly for a week:\n\nCREATE EVENT example\nON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 HOUR\nSTARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MONTH\nENDS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MONTH + INTERVAL 1 WEEK\nDO some_task;\n\nIntervals consist of a quantity and a time unit. The time units are the same\nused for other staments and time functions, except that you can\'t use\nmicroseconds for events. For simple time units, like HOUR or MINUTE, the\nquantity is an integer number, for example \'10 MINUTE\'. For composite time\nunits, like HOUR_MINUTE or HOUR_SECOND, the quantity must be a string with all\ninvolved simple values and their separators, for example \'2:30\' or \'2:30:30\'.\n\nON COMPLETION [NOT] PRESERVE\n----------------------------\n\nThe ON COMPLETION clause can be used to specify if the event must be deleted\nafter its last execution (that is, after its AT or ENDS timestamp is past). By\ndefault, events are dropped when they are expired. To explicitly state that\nthis is the desired behaviour, you can use ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE.\nInstead, if you want the event to be preserved, you can use ON COMPLETION\nPRESERVE.\n\nIn you specify ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE, and you specify a timestamp in the\npast for AT or ENDS clause, the event will be immediatly dropped. In such\ncases, you will get a Note 1558: \"Event execution time is in the past and ON\nCOMPLETION NOT PRESERVE is set. The event was dropped immediately after\ncreation\".\n\nENABLE/DISABLE/DISABLE ON SLAVE\n-------------------------------\n\nEvents are ENABLEd by default. If you want to stop MariaDB from executing an\nevent, you may specify DISABLE. When it is ready to be activated, you may\nenable it using ALTER EVENT. Another option is DISABLE ON SLAVE, which\nindicates that an event was created on a master and has been replicated to the\nslave, which is prevented from executing the event. If DISABLE ON SLAVE is\nspecifically set, the event will be disabled everywhere. It will not be\nexecuted on the mater or the slaves.\n\nCOMMENT\n-------\n\nThe COMMENT clause may be used to set a comment for the event. Maximum length\nfor comments is 64 characters. The comment is a string, so it must be quoted.\nTo see events comments, you can query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS table (the\ncolumn is named EVENT_COMMENT).\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nMinimal CREATE EVENT statement:\n\nCREATE EVENT myevent\n ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 HOUR\n DO\n UPDATE myschema.mytable SET mycol = mycol + 1;\n\nAn event that will be triggered tomorrow at a certain time:\n\nCREATE EVENT example\nON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 DAY + INTERVAL 3 HOUR\nDO something;\n\nNext month a recurring event will be triggered hourly for a week:\n\nCREATE EVENT example\nON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 HOUR\nSTARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MONTH\nENDS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MONTH + INTERVAL 1 WEEK\nDO some_task;\n\nOR REPLACE and IF NOT EXISTS:\n\nCREATE EVENT myevent\n ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 HOUR\n DO\n UPDATE myschema.mytable SET mycol = mycol + 1;\nERROR 1537 (HY000): Event \'myevent\' already exists\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE EVENT myevent\n ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 HOUR\n DO\n UPDATE myschema.mytable SET mycol = mycol + 1;;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)\n\nCREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS myevent\n ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 HOUR\n DO\n UPDATE myschema.mytable SET mycol = mycol + 1;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n+-------+------+--------------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+-------+------+--------------------------------+\n| Note | 1537 | Event \'myevent\' already exists |\n+-------+------+--------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-event/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-event/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (706,38,'CREATE FUNCTION','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE]\n [DEFINER = {user | CURRENT_USER | role | CURRENT_ROLE }]\n [AGGREGATE] FUNCTION [IF NOT EXISTS] func_name ([func_parameter[,...]])\n RETURNS type\n [characteristic ...]\n RETURN func_body\nfunc_parameter:\n [ IN | OUT | INOUT | IN OUT ] param_name type\ntype:\n Any valid MariaDB data type\ncharacteristic:\n LANGUAGE SQL\n | [NOT] DETERMINISTIC\n | { CONTAINS SQL | NO SQL | READS SQL DATA | MODIFIES SQL DATA }\n | SQL SECURITY { DEFINER | INVOKER }\n | COMMENT \'string\'\nfunc_body:\n Valid SQL procedure statement\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nUse the CREATE FUNCTION statement to create a new stored function. You must\nhave the CREATE ROUTINE database privilege to use CREATE FUNCTION. A function\ntakes any number of arguments and returns a value from the function body. The\nfunction body can be any valid SQL expression as you would use, for example,\nin any select expression. If you have the appropriate privileges, you can call\nthe function exactly as you would any built-in function. See Security below\nfor details on privileges.\n\nYou can also use a variant of the CREATE FUNCTION statement to install a\nuser-defined function (UDF) defined by a plugin. See CREATE FUNCTION (UDF) for\ndetails.\n\nYou can use a SELECT statement for the function body by enclosing it in\nparentheses, exactly as you would to use a subselect for any other expression.\nThe SELECT statement must return a single value. If more than one column is\nreturned when the function is called, error 1241 results. If more than one row\nis returned when the function is called, error 1242 results. Use a LIMIT\nclause to ensure only one row is returned.\n\nYou can also replace the RETURN clause with a BEGIN...END compound statement.\nThe compound statement must contain a RETURN statement. When the function is\ncalled, the RETURN statement immediately returns its result, and any\nstatements after RETURN are effectively ignored.\n\nBy default, a function is associated with the current database. To associate\nthe function explicitly with a given database, specify the fully-qualified\nname as db_name.func_name when you create it. If the function name is the same\nas the name of a built-in function, you must use the fully qualified name when\nyou call it.\n\nThe parameter list enclosed within parentheses must always be present. If\nthere are no parameters, an empty parameter list of () should be used.\nParameter names are not case sensitive.\n\nEach parameter can be declared to use any valid data type, except that the\nCOLLATE attribute cannot be used.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as function names, see Identifier Names.\n\nIN | OUT | INOUT | IN OUT\n-------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.8.0\n----------------------------\nThe function parameter qualifiers for IN, OUT, INOUT, and IN OUT were added in\na 10.8.0 preview release. Prior to 10.8.0 quantifiers were supported only in\nprocedures.\n\nOUT, INOUT and its equivalent IN OUT, are only valid if called from SET and\nnot SELECT. These quantifiers are especially useful for creating functions\nwith more than one return value. This allows functions to be more complex and\nnested.\n\nDELIMITER $$\nCREATE FUNCTION add_func3(IN a INT, IN b INT, OUT c INT) RETURNS INT\nBEGIN\n SET c = 100;\n RETURN a + b;\nEND;\n$$\nDELIMITER ;\n\nSET @a = 2;\nSET @b = 3;\nSET @c = 0;\nSET @res= add_func3(@a, @b, @c);\n\nSELECT add_func3(@a, @b, @c);\nERROR 4186 (HY000): OUT or INOUT argument 3 for function add_func3 is not\nallowed here\n\nDELIMITER $$\nCREATE FUNCTION add_func4(IN a INT, IN b INT, d INT) RETURNS INT\nBEGIN\n DECLARE c, res INT;\n SET res = add_func3(a, b, c) + d;\n if (c > 99) then\n return 3;\n else\n return res;\n end if;\nEND;\n$$\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nSELECT add_func4(1,2,3);\n+------------------+\n| add_func4(1,2,3) |\n+------------------+\n| 3 |\n+------------------+\n\nAGGREGATE\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.3, it is possible to create stored aggregate functions as\nwell. See Stored Aggregate Functions for details.\n\nRETURNS\n-------\n\nThe RETURNS clause specifies the return type of the function. NULL values are\npermitted with all return types.\n\nWhat happens if the RETURN clause returns a value of a different type? It\ndepends on the SQL_MODE in effect at the moment of the function creation.\n\nIf the SQL_MODE is strict (STRICT_ALL_TABLES or STRICT_TRANS_TABLES flags are\nspecified), a 1366 error will be produced.\n\nOtherwise, the value is coerced to the proper type. For example, if a function\nspecifies an ENUM or SET value in the RETURNS clause, but the RETURN clause\nreturns an integer, the value returned from the function is the string for the\ncorresponding ENUM member of set of SET members.\n\nMariaDB stores the SQL_MODE system variable setting that is in effect at the\ntime a routine is created, and always executes the routine with this setting\nin force, regardless of the server SQL mode in effect when the routine is\ninvoked.\n\nLANGUAGE SQL\n------------\n\nLANGUAGE SQL is a standard SQL clause, and it can be used in MariaDB for\nportability. However that clause has no meaning, because SQL is the only\nsupported language for stored functions.\n\nA function is deterministic if it can produce only one result for a given list\nof parameters. If the result may be affected by stored data, server variables,\nrandom numbers or any value that is not explicitly passed, then the function\nis not deterministic. Also, a function is non-deterministic if it uses\nnon-deterministic functions like NOW() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(). The optimizer\nmay choose a faster execution plan if it known that the function is\ndeterministic. In such cases, you should declare the routine using the\nDETERMINISTIC keyword. If you want to explicitly state that the function is\nnot deterministic (which is the default) you can use the NOT DETERMINISTIC\nkeywords.\n\nIf you declare a non-deterministic function as DETERMINISTIC, you may get\nincorrect results. If you declare a deterministic function as NOT\nDETERMINISTIC, in some cases the queries will be slower.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.1.3\n----------------------------\nIf the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it acts as a shortcut for:\n\nDROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS function_name;\nCREATE FUNCTION function_name ...;\n\nwith the exception that any existing privileges for the function are not\ndropped.\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.1.3\n----------------------------\nIf the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of\nan error if the function already exists. Cannot be used together with OR\nREPLACE.\n\n[NOT] DETERMINISTIC\n-------------------\n\nThe [NOT] DETERMINISTIC clause also affects binary logging, because the\nSTATEMENT format can not be used to store or replicate non-deterministic\nstatements.\n\nCONTAINS SQL, NO SQL, READS SQL DATA, and MODIFIES SQL DATA are informative\nclauses that tell the server what the function does. MariaDB does not check in\nany way whether the specified clause is correct. If none of these clauses are\nspecified, CONTAINS SQL is used by default.\n\nMODIFIES SQL DATA\n-----------------\n\nMODIFIES SQL DATA means that the function contains statements that may modify\ndata stored in databases. This happens if the function contains statements\nlike DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT, REPLACE or DDL.\n\nREADS SQL DATA\n--------------\n\nREADS SQL DATA means that the function reads data stored in databases, but\ndoes not modify any data. This happens if SELECT statements are used, but\nthere no write operations are executed.\n\nCONTAINS SQL\n------------\n\nCONTAINS SQL means that the function contains at least one SQL statement, but\nit does not read or write any data stored in a database. Examples include SET\nor DO.\n\nNO SQL\n------\n\nNO SQL means nothing, because MariaDB does not currently support any language\nother than SQL.\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.3, a subset of Oracle\'s PL/SQL language has been supported in\naddition to the traditional SQL/PSM-based MariaDB syntax. See Oracle mode from\nMariaDB 10.3 for details on changes when running Oracle mode.\n\nSecurity\n--------\n\nYou must have the EXECUTE privilege on a function to call it. MariaDB\nautomatically grants the EXECUTE and ALTER ROUTINE privileges to the account\nthat called CREATE FUNCTION, even if the DEFINER clause was used.\n\nEach function has an account associated as the definer. By default, the\ndefiner is the account that created the function. Use the DEFINER clause to\nspecify a different account as the definer. You must have the SUPER privilege,\nor, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the SET USER privilege, to use the DEFINER clause.\nSee Account Names for details on specifying accounts.\n\nThe SQL SECURITY clause specifies what privileges are used when a function is\ncalled. If SQL SECURITY is INVOKER, the function body will be evaluated using\nthe privileges of the user calling the function. If SQL SECURITY is DEFINER,\nthe function body is always evaluated using the privileges of the definer\naccount. DEFINER is the default.\n\nThis allows you to create functions that grant limited access to certain data.\nFor example, say you have a table that stores some employee information, and\nthat you\'ve granted SELECT privileges only on certain columns to the user\naccount roger.\n\nCREATE TABLE employees (name TINYTEXT, dept TINYTEXT, salary INT);\nGRANT SELECT (name, dept) ON employees TO roger;\n\nTo allow the user the get the maximum salary for a department, define a\nfunction and grant the EXECUTE privilege:\n\nCREATE FUNCTION max_salary (dept TINYTEXT) RETURNS INT RETURN\n (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees WHERE employees.dept = dept);\nGRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION max_salary TO roger;\n\nSince SQL SECURITY defaults to DEFINER, whenever the user roger calls this\nfunction, the subselect will execute with your privileges. As long as you have\nprivileges to select the salary of each employee, the caller of the function\nwill be able to get the maximum salary for each department without being able\nto see individual salaries.\n\nCharacter sets and collations\n-----------------------------\n\nFunction return types can be declared to use any valid character set and\ncollation. If used, the COLLATE attribute needs to be preceded by a CHARACTER\nSET attribute.\n\nIf the character set and collation are not specifically set in the statement,\nthe database defaults at the time of creation will be used. If the database\ndefaults change at a later stage, the stored function character set/collation\nwill not be changed at the same time; the stored function needs to be dropped\nand recreated to ensure the same character set/collation as the database is\nused.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nThe following example function takes a parameter, performs an operation using\nan SQL function, and returns the result.\n\nCREATE FUNCTION hello (s CHAR(20))\n RETURNS CHAR(50) DETERMINISTIC\n RETURN CONCAT(\'Hello, \',s,\'!\');\n\nSELECT hello(\'world\');\n+----------------+\n| hello(\'world\') |\n+----------------+\n| Hello, world! |\n+----------------+\n\nYou can use a compound statement in a function to manipulate data with\nstatements like INSERT and UPDATE. The following example creates a counter\nfunction that uses a temporary table to store the current value. Because the\ncompound statement contains statements terminated with semicolons, you have to\nfirst change the statement delimiter with the DELIMITER statement to allow the\nsemicolon to be used in the function body. See Delimiters in the mysql client\nfor more.\n\nCREATE TEMPORARY TABLE counter (c INT);\nINSERT INTO counter VALUES (0);\nDELIMITER //\nCREATE FUNCTION counter () RETURNS INT\n BEGIN\n UPDATE counter SET c = c + 1;\n RETURN (SELECT c FROM counter LIMIT 1);\n END //\nDELIMITER ;\n\nCharacter set and collation:\n\nCREATE FUNCTION hello2 (s CHAR(20))\n RETURNS CHAR(50) CHARACTER SET \'utf8\' COLLATE \'utf8_bin\' DETERMINISTIC\n RETURN CONCAT(\'Hello, \',s,\'!\');\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-function/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-function/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (707,38,'CREATE INDEX','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE] [UNIQUE|FULLTEXT|SPATIAL] INDEX \n [IF NOT EXISTS] index_name\n [index_type]\n ON tbl_name (index_col_name,...)\n [WAIT n | NOWAIT]\n [index_option]\n [algorithm_option | lock_option] ...\n\nindex_col_name:\n col_name [(length)] [ASC | DESC]\n\nindex_type:\n USING {BTREE | HASH | RTREE}\n\nindex_option:\n [ KEY_BLOCK_SIZE [=] value\n | index_type\n | WITH PARSER parser_name\n | COMMENT \'string\'\n | CLUSTERING={YES| NO} ]\n [ IGNORED | NOT IGNORED ]\n\nalgorithm_option:\n ALGORITHM [=] {DEFAULT|INPLACE|COPY|NOCOPY|INSTANT}\n\nlock_option:\n LOCK [=] {DEFAULT|NONE|SHARED|EXCLUSIVE}\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nCREATE INDEX is mapped to an ALTER TABLE statement to create indexes. See\nALTER TABLE. CREATE INDEX cannot be used to create a PRIMARY KEY; use ALTER\nTABLE instead.\n\nIf another connection is using the table, a metadata lock is active, and this\nstatement will wait until the lock is released. This is also true for\nnon-transactional tables.\n\nAnother shortcut, DROP INDEX, allows the removal of an index.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as index names, see Identifier Names.\n\nNote that KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is currently ignored in CREATE INDEX, although it is\nincluded in the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nExecuting the CREATE INDEX statement requires the INDEX privilege for the\ntable or the database.\n\nOnline DDL\n----------\n\nOnline DDL is supported with the ALGORITHM and LOCK clauses.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Overview for more information on online DDL with InnoDB.\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE INDEX\n-----------------------\n\nIf the OR REPLACE clause is used and if the index already exists, then instead\nof returning an error, the server will drop the existing index and replace it\nwith the newly defined index.\n\nCREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS\n--------------------------\n\nIf the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, then the index will only be created if an\nindex with the same name does not already exist.

By default, a routine is associated with the\ndefault database. To associate the routine explicitly with a given database,\nspecify the name as db_name.sp_name when you create it.\n\nWhen the routine is invoked, an implicit USE db_name is performed (and undone\nwhen the routine terminates). The causes the routine to have the given default\ndatabase while it executes. USE statements within stored routines are\ndisallowed.\n\nWhen a stored procedure has been created, you invoke it by using the CALL\nstatement (see CALL).\n\nTo execute the CREATE PROCEDURE statement, it is necessary to have the CREATE\nROUTINE privilege. By default, MariaDB automatically grants the ALTER ROUTINE\nand EXECUTE privileges to the routine creator. See also Stored Routine\nPrivileges.\n\nThe DEFINER and SQL SECURITY clauses specify the security context to be used\nwhen checking access privileges at routine execution time, as described here.\nRequires the SUPER privilege, or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the SET USER privilege.\n\nIf the routine name is the same as the name of a built-in SQL function, you\nmust use a space between the name and the following parenthesis when defining\nthe routine, or a syntax error occurs. This is also true when you invoke the\nroutine later. For this reason, we suggest that it is better to avoid re-using\nthe names of existing SQL functions for your own stored routines.\n\nThe IGNORE_SPACE SQL mode applies to built-in functions, not to stored\nroutines. It is always allowable to have spaces after a routine name,\nregardless of whether IGNORE_SPACE is enabled.\n\nThe parameter list enclosed within parentheses must always be present. If\nthere are no parameters, an empty parameter list of () should be used.\nParameter names are not case sensitive.\n\nEach parameter can be declared to use any valid data type, except that the\nCOLLATE attribute cannot be used.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as procedure names, see Identifier Names.\n\nThings to be Aware of With CREATE OR REPLACE\n--------------------------------------------\n\n* One can\'t use OR REPLACE together with IF EXISTS.\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE IF NOT EXISTS\n------------------------------\n\nIf the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, then the procedure will only be created\nif a procedure with the same name does not already exist. If the procedure\nalready exists, then a warning will be triggered by default.\n\nIN/OUT/INOUT\n------------\n\nEach parameter is an IN parameter by default. To specify otherwise for a\nparameter, use the keyword OUT or INOUT before the parameter name.\n\nAn IN parameter passes a value into a procedure. The procedure might modify\nthe value, but the modification is not visible to the caller when the\nprocedure returns. An OUT parameter passes a value from the procedure back to\nthe caller. Its initial value is NULL within the procedure, and its value is\nvisible to the caller when the procedure returns. An INOUT parameter is\ninitialized by the caller, can be modified by the procedure, and any change\nmade by the procedure is visible to the caller when the procedure returns.\n\nFor each OUT or INOUT parameter, pass a user-defined variable in the CALL\nstatement that invokes the procedure so that you can obtain its value when the\nprocedure returns. If you are calling the procedure from within another stored\nprocedure or function, you can also pass a routine parameter or local routine\nvariable as an IN or INOUT parameter.\n\nDETERMINISTIC/NOT DETERMINISTIC\n-------------------------------\n\nDETERMINISTIC and NOT DETERMINISTIC apply only to functions. Specifying\nDETERMINISTC or NON-DETERMINISTIC in procedures has no effect. The default\nvalue is NOT DETERMINISTIC. Functions are DETERMINISTIC when they always\nreturn the same value for the same input. For example, a truncate or substring\nfunction. Any function involving data, therefore, is always NOT DETERMINISTIC.\n\nCONTAINS SQL/NO SQL/READS SQL DATA/MODIFIES SQL DATA\n----------------------------------------------------\n\nCONTAINS SQL, NO SQL, READS SQL DATA, and MODIFIES SQL DATA are informative\nclauses that tell the server what the function does. MariaDB does not check in\nany way whether the specified clause is correct. If none of these clauses are\nspecified, CONTAINS SQL is used by default.\n\nMODIFIES SQL DATA means that the function contains statements that may modify\ndata stored in databases. This happens if the function contains statements\nlike DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT, REPLACE or DDL.\n\nREADS SQL DATA means that the function reads data stored in databases, but\ndoes not modify any data. This happens if SELECT statements are used, but\nthere no write operations are executed.\n\nCONTAINS SQL means that the function contains at least one SQL statement, but\nit does not read or write any data stored in a database. Examples include SET\nor DO.\n\nNO SQL means nothing, because MariaDB does not currently support any language\nother than SQL.\n\nThe routine_body consists of a valid SQL procedure statement. This can be a\nsimple statement such as SELECT or INSERT, or it can be a compound statement\nwritten using BEGIN and END. Compound statements can contain declarations,\nloops, and other control structure statements. See Programmatic and Compound\nStatements for syntax details.\n\nMariaDB allows routines to contain DDL statements, such as CREATE and DROP.\nMariaDB also allows stored procedures (but not stored functions) to contain\nSQL transaction statements such as COMMIT.\n\nFor additional information about statements that are not allowed in stored\nroutines, see Stored Routine Limitations.\n\nInvoking stored procedure from within programs\n----------------------------------------------\n\nFor information about invoking stored procedures from within programs written\nin a language that has a MariaDB/MySQL interface, see CALL.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nIf the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it acts as a shortcut for:\n\nDROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS name;\nCREATE PROCEDURE name ...;\n\nwith the exception that any existing privileges for the procedure are not\ndropped.\n\nsql_mode\n--------\n\nMariaDB stores the sql_mode system variable setting that is in effect at the\ntime a routine is created, and always executes the routine with this setting\nin force, regardless of the server SQL mode in effect when the routine is\ninvoked.\n\nCharacter Sets and Collations\n-----------------------------\n\nProcedure parameters can be declared with any character set/collation. If the\ncharacter set and collation are not specifically set, the database defaults at\nthe time of creation will be used. If the database defaults change at a later\nstage, the stored procedure character set/collation will not be changed at the\nsame time; the stored procedure needs to be dropped and recreated to ensure\nthe same character set/collation as the database is used.\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.3, a subset of Oracle\'s PL/SQL language has been supported in\naddition to the traditional SQL/PSM-based MariaDB syntax. See Oracle mode from\nMariaDB 10.3 for details on changes when running Oracle mode.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nThe following example shows a simple stored procedure that uses an OUT\nparameter. It uses the DELIMITER command to set a new delimiter for the\nduration of the process — see Delimiters in the mysql client.\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE simpleproc (OUT param1 INT)\n BEGIN\n SELECT COUNT(*) INTO param1 FROM t;\n END;\n//\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nCALL simpleproc(@a);\n\nSELECT @a;\n+------+\n| @a |\n+------+\n| 1 |\n+------+\n\nCharacter set and collation:\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE simpleproc2 (\n OUT param1 CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET \'utf8\' COLLATE \'utf8_bin\'\n)\n BEGIN\n SELECT CONCAT(\'a\'),f1 INTO param1 FROM t;\n END;\n//\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE:\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE simpleproc2 (\n OUT param1 CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET \'utf8\' COLLATE \'utf8_bin\'\n)\n BEGIN\n SELECT CONCAT(\'a\'),f1 INTO param1 FROM t;\n END;\n//\nERROR 1304 (42000): PROCEDURE simpleproc2 already exists\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE simpleproc2 (\n OUT param1 CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET \'utf8\' COLLATE \'utf8_bin\'\n)\n BEGIN\n SELECT CONCAT(\'a\'),f1 INTO param1 FROM t;\n END;\n//\nERROR 1304 (42000): PROCEDURE simpleproc2 already exists\n\nDELIMITER ;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-procedure/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-procedure/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (711,38,'CREATE SERVER','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE] SERVER [IF NOT EXISTS] server_name\n FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER wrapper_name\n OPTIONS (option [, option] ...)\n\noption:\n { HOST character-literal\n | DATABASE character-literal\n | USER character-literal\n | PASSWORD character-literal\n | SOCKET character-literal\n | OWNER character-literal\n | PORT numeric-literal }\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis statement creates the definition of a server for use with the Spider,\nConnect, FEDERATED or FederatedX storage engine. The CREATE SERVER statement\ncreates a new row within the servers table within the mysql database. This\nstatement requires the SUPER privilege or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the FEDERATED\nADMIN privilege.\n\nThe server_name should be a unique reference to the server. Server definitions\nare global within the scope of the server, it is not possible to qualify the\nserver definition to a specific database. server_name has a maximum length of\n64 characters (names longer than 64 characters are silently truncated), and is\ncase insensitive. You may specify the name as a quoted string.\n\nThe wrapper_name may be quoted with single quotes. Supported values are:\n\n* mysql\n* mariadb (in MariaDB 10.3 and later)\n\nFor each option you must specify either a character literal or numeric\nliteral. Character literals are UTF-8, support a maximum length of 64\ncharacters and default to a blank (empty) string. String literals are silently\ntruncated to 64 characters. Numeric literals must be a number between 0 and\n9999, default value is 0.\n\nNote: The OWNER option is currently not applied, and has no effect on the\nownership or operation of the server connection that is created.\n\nThe CREATE SERVER statement creates an entry in the mysql.servers table that\ncan later be used with the CREATE TABLE statement when creating a Spider,\nConnect, FederatedX or FEDERATED table. The options that you specify will be\nused to populate the columns in the mysql.servers table. The table columns are\nServer_name, Host, Db, Username, Password, Port and Socket.\n\nDROP SERVER removes a previously created server definition.\n\nCREATE SERVER is not written to the binary log, irrespective of the binary log\nformat being used.

A trigger is a named database object\nthat is associated with a table, and that activates when a particular event\noccurs for the table.

It can be BEFORE or AFTER to indicate\nthat the trigger activates before or after each row to be modified.\n\ntrigger_event\n-------------\n\ntrigger_event indicates the kind of statement that activates the trigger. The\ntrigger_event can be one of the following:\n\n* INSERT: The trigger is activated whenever a new row is inserted into the\ntable; for example, through INSERT, LOAD DATA, and REPLACE statements.\n* UPDATE: The trigger is activated whenever a row is modified; for example,\nthrough UPDATE statements.\n* DELETE: The trigger is activated whenever a row is deleted from the table;\nfor example, through DELETE and REPLACE statements. However, DROP TABLE and\nTRUNCATE statements on the table do not activate this trigger, because they do\nnot use DELETE. Dropping a partition does not activate DELETE triggers, either.\n\nFOLLOWS/PRECEDES other_trigger_name\n-----------------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.3\n----------------------------\nThe FOLLOWS other_trigger_name and PRECEDES other_trigger_name options were\nadded in MariaDB 10.2.3 as part of supporting multiple triggers per action\ntime.

If neither option is used, the new trigger is\nadded last for the given action and time.\n\nFOLLOWS and PRECEDES are not stored in the trigger definition.

If the view does not exist, CREATE OR REPLACE\nVIEW is the same as CREATE VIEW. If the view does exist, CREATE OR REPLACE\nVIEW is the same as ALTER VIEW.\n\nThe select_statement is a SELECT statement that provides the definition of the\nview. (When you select from the view, you select in effect using the SELECT\nstatement.) select_statement can select from base tables or other views.\n\nThe view definition is \"frozen\" at creation time, so changes to the underlying\ntables afterwards do not affect the view definition. For example, if a view is\ndefined as SELECT * on a table, new columns added to the table later do not\nbecome part of the view. A SHOW CREATE VIEW shows that such queries are\nrewritten and column names are included in the view definition.\n\nThe view definition must be a query that does not return errors at view\ncreation times. However, the base tables used by the views might be altered\nlater and the query may not be valid anymore. In this case, querying the view\nwill result in an error. CHECK TABLE helps in finding this kind of problems.\n\nThe ALGORITHM clause affects how MariaDB processes the view. The DEFINER and\nSQL SECURITY clauses specify the security context to be used when checking\naccess privileges at view invocation time. The WITH CHECK OPTION clause can be\ngiven to constrain inserts or updates to rows in tables referenced by the\nview. These clauses are described later in this section.\n\nThe CREATE VIEW statement requires the CREATE VIEW privilege for the view, and\nsome privilege for each column selected by the SELECT statement. For columns\nused elsewhere in the SELECT statement you must have the SELECT privilege. If\nthe OR REPLACE clause is present, you must also have the DROP privilege for\nthe view.\n\nA view belongs to a database. By default, a new view is created in the default\ndatabase. To create the view explicitly in a given database, specify the name\nas db_name.view_name when you create it.\n\nCREATE VIEW test.v AS SELECT * FROM t;\n\nBase tables and views share the same namespace within a database, so a\ndatabase cannot contain a base table and a view that have the same name.\n\nViews must have unique column names with no duplicates, just like base tables.\nBy default, the names of the columns retrieved by the SELECT statement are\nused for the view column names. To define explicit names for the view columns,\nthe optional column_list clause can be given as a list of comma-separated\nidentifiers. The number of names in column_list must be the same as the number\nof columns retrieved by the SELECT statement.\n\nMySQL until 5.1.28\n------------------\nPrior to MySQL 5.1.29, When you modify an existing view, the current view\ndefinition is backed up and saved. It is stored in that table\'s database\ndirectory, in a subdirectory named arc. The backup file for a view v is named\nv.frm-00001. If you alter the view again, the next backup is named\nv.frm-00002. The three latest view backup definitions are stored. Backed up\nview definitions are not preserved by mysqldump, or any other such programs,\nbut you can retain them using a file copy operation. However, they are not\nneeded for anything but to provide you with a backup of your previous view\ndefinition. It is safe to remove these backup definitions, but only while\nmysqld is not running. If you delete the arc subdirectory or its files while\nmysqld is running, you will receive an error the next time you try to alter\nthe view:\n\nMariaDB [test]> ALTER VIEW v AS SELECT * FROM t; \nERROR 6 (HY000): Error on delete of \'.\\test\\arc/v.frm-0004\' (Errcode: 2)\n\nColumns retrieved by the SELECT statement can be simple references to table\ncolumns. They can also be expressions that use functions, constant values,\noperators, and so forth.\n\nUnqualified table or view names in the SELECT statement are interpreted with\nrespect to the default database. A view can refer to tables or views in other\ndatabases by qualifying the table or view name with the proper database name.\n\nA view can be created from many kinds of SELECT statements. It can refer to\nbase tables or other views. It can use joins, UNION, and subqueries. The\nSELECT need not even refer to any tables. The following example defines a view\nthat selects two columns from another table, as well as an expression\ncalculated from those columns:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (qty INT, price INT);\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES(3, 50);\n\nCREATE VIEW v AS SELECT qty, price, qty*price AS value FROM t;\n\nSELECT * FROM v;\n+------+-------+-------+\n| qty | price | value |\n+------+-------+-------+\n| 3 | 50 | 150 |\n+------+-------+-------+\n\nA view definition is subject to the following restrictions:\n\n* The SELECT statement cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause.\n* The SELECT statement cannot refer to system or user variables.\n* Within a stored program, the definition cannot refer to program parameters\nor local variables.\n* The SELECT statement cannot refer to prepared statement parameters.\n* Any table or view referred to in the definition must exist. However, after a\nview has been created, it is possible to drop a table or view that the\ndefinition refers to. In this case, use of the view results in an error. To\ncheck a view definition for problems of this kind, use the CHECK TABLE\nstatement.\n* The definition cannot refer to a TEMPORARY table, and you cannot create a\nTEMPORARY view.\n* Any tables named in the view definition must exist at definition time.\n* You cannot associate a trigger with a view.\n* For valid identifiers to use as view names, see Identifier Names.\n\nORDER BY is allowed in a view definition, but it is ignored if you select from\na view using a statement that has its own ORDER BY.\n\nFor other options or clauses in the definition, they are added to the options\nor clauses of the statement that references the view, but the effect is\nundefined. For example, if a view definition includes a LIMIT clause, and you\nselect from the view using a statement that has its own LIMIT clause, it is\nundefined which limit applies. This same principle applies to options such as\nALL, DISTINCT, or SQL_SMALL_RESULT that follow the SELECT keyword, and to\nclauses such as INTO, FOR UPDATE, and LOCK IN SHARE MODE.\n\nThe PROCEDURE clause cannot be used in a view definition, and it cannot be\nused if a view is referenced in the FROM clause.\n\nIf you create a view and then change the query processing environment by\nchanging system variables, that may affect the results that you get from the\nview:\n\nCREATE VIEW v (mycol) AS SELECT \'abc\';\n\nSET sql_mode = \'\';\n\nSELECT \"mycol\" FROM v;\n+-------+\n| mycol |\n+-------+\n| mycol | \n+-------+\n\nSET sql_mode = \'ANSI_QUOTES\';\n\nSELECT \"mycol\" FROM v;\n+-------+\n| mycol |\n+-------+\n| abc | \n+-------+\n\nThe DEFINER and SQL SECURITY clauses determine which MariaDB account to use\nwhen checking access privileges for the view when a statement is executed that\nreferences the view. They were added in MySQL 5.1.2. The legal SQL SECURITY\ncharacteristic values are DEFINER and INVOKER. These indicate that the\nrequired privileges must be held by the user who defined or invoked the view,\nrespectively. The default SQL SECURITY value is DEFINER.\n\nIf a user value is given for the DEFINER clause, it should be a MariaDB\naccount in \'user_name\'@\'host_name\' format (the same format used in the GRANT\nstatement). The user_name and host_name values both are required. The definer\ncan also be given as CURRENT_USER or CURRENT_USER(). The default DEFINER value\nis the user who executes the CREATE VIEW statement. This is the same as\nspecifying DEFINER = CURRENT_USER explicitly.\n\nIf you specify the DEFINER clause, these rules determine the legal DEFINER\nuser values:\n\n* If you do not have the SUPER privilege, or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the SET\nUSER privilege, the only legal user value is your own account, either\nspecified literally or by using CURRENT_USER. You cannot set the definer to\nsome other account.\n* If you have the SUPER privilege, or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the SET USER\nprivilege, you can specify any syntactically legal account name. If the\naccount does not actually exist, a warning is generated.\n* If the SQL SECURITY value is DEFINER but the definer account does not exist\nwhen the view is referenced, an error occurs.\n\nWithin a view definition, CURRENT_USER returns the view\'s DEFINER value by\ndefault. For views defined with the SQL SECURITY INVOKER characteristic,\nCURRENT_USER returns the account for the view\'s invoker. For information about\nuser auditing within views, see\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/account-activity-auditing.html.\n\nWithin a stored routine that is defined with the SQL SECURITY DEFINER\ncharacteristic, CURRENT_USER returns the routine\'s DEFINER value. This also\naffects a view defined within such a program, if the view definition contains\na DEFINER value of CURRENT_USER.\n\nView privileges are checked like this:\n\n* At view definition time, the view creator must have the privileges needed to\nuse the top-level objects accessed by the view. For example, if the view\ndefinition refers to table columns, the creator must have privileges for the\ncolumns, as described previously. If the definition refers to a stored\nfunction, only the privileges needed to invoke the function can be checked.\nThe privileges required when the function runs can be checked only as it\nexecutes: For different invocations of the function, different execution paths\nwithin the function might be taken.\n* When a view is referenced, privileges for objects accessed by the view are\nchecked against the privileges held by the view creator or invoker, depending\non whether the SQL SECURITY characteristic is DEFINER or INVOKER, respectively.\n* If reference to a view causes execution of a stored function, privilege\nchecking for statements executed within the function depend on whether the\nfunction is defined with a SQL SECURITY characteristic of DEFINER or INVOKER.\nIf the security characteristic is DEFINER, the function runs with the\nprivileges of its creator. If the characteristic is INVOKER, the function runs\nwith the privileges determined by the view\'s SQL SECURITY characteristic.\n\nExample: A view might depend on a stored function, and that function might\ninvoke other stored routines. For example, the following view invokes a stored\nfunction f():\n\nCREATE VIEW v AS SELECT * FROM t WHERE t.id = f(t.name);\n\nSuppose that f() contains a statement such as this:\n\nIF name IS NULL then\n CALL p1();\nELSE\n CALL p2();\nEND IF;\n\nThe privileges required for executing statements within f() need to be checked\nwhen f() executes. This might mean that privileges are needed for p1() or\np2(), depending on the execution path within f(). Those privileges must be\nchecked at runtime, and the user who must possess the privileges is determined\nby the SQL SECURITY values of the view v and the function f().\n\nThe DEFINER and SQL SECURITY clauses for views are extensions to standard SQL.\nIn standard SQL, views are handled using the rules for SQL SECURITY INVOKER.\n\nIf you invoke a view that was created before MySQL 5.1.2, it is treated as\nthough it was created with a SQL SECURITY DEFINER clause and with a DEFINER\nvalue that is the same as your account. However, because the actual definer is\nunknown, MySQL issues a warning. To make the warning go away, it is sufficient\nto re-create the view so that the view definition includes a DEFINER clause.\n\nThe optional ALGORITHM clause is an extension to standard SQL. It affects how\nMariaDB processes the view. ALGORITHM takes three values: MERGE, TEMPTABLE, or\nUNDEFINED. The default algorithm is UNDEFINED if no ALGORITHM clause is\npresent. See View Algorithms for more information.\n\nSome views are updatable. That is, you can use them in statements such as\nUPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT to update the contents of the underlying table. For\na view to be updatable, there must be a one-to-one relationship between the\nrows in the view and the rows in the underlying table. There are also certain\nother constructs that make a view non-updatable. See Inserting and Updating\nwith Views.\n\nWITH CHECK OPTION\n-----------------\n\nThe WITH CHECK OPTION clause can be given for an updatable view to prevent\ninserts or updates to rows except those for which the WHERE clause in the\nselect_statement is true.\n\nIn a WITH CHECK OPTION clause for an updatable view, the LOCAL and CASCADED\nkeywords determine the scope of check testing when the view is defined in\nterms of another view. The LOCAL keyword restricts the CHECK OPTION only to\nthe view being defined. CASCADED causes the checks for underlying views to be\nevaluated as well. When neither keyword is given, the default is CASCADED.\n\nFor more information about updatable views and the WITH CHECK OPTION clause,\nsee Inserting and Updating with Views.\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.1.3\n----------------------------\nThe IF NOT EXISTS clause was added in MariaDB 10.1.3\n\nWhen the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead\nof an error if the specified view already exists. Cannot be used together with\nthe OR REPLACE clause.\n\nAtomic DDL\n----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.1\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.6.1 supports Atomic DDL and CREATE VIEW is atomic.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (a INT, b INT) ENGINE = InnoDB;\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (1,1), (2,2), (3,3);\n\nCREATE VIEW v AS SELECT a, a*2 AS a2 FROM t;\n\nSELECT * FROM v;\n+------+------+\n| a | a2 |\n+------+------+\n| 1 | 2 |\n| 2 | 4 |\n| 3 | 6 |\n+------+------+\n\nOR REPLACE and IF NOT EXISTS:\n\nCREATE VIEW v AS SELECT a, a*2 AS a2 FROM t;\nERROR 1050 (42S01): Table \'v\' already exists\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v AS SELECT a, a*2 AS a2 FROM t;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)\n\nCREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS v AS SELECT a, a*2 AS a2 FROM t;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)\n','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-view/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n+-------+------+--------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+-------+------+--------------------------+\n| Note | 1050 | Table \'v\' already exists |\n+-------+------+--------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-view/') WHERE help_topic_id = 714; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (715,38,'Generated (Virtual and Persistent/Stored) Columns','Syntax\n------\n\n<type> [GENERATED ALWAYS] AS ( <expression> )\n[VIRTUAL | PERSISTENT | STORED] [UNIQUE] [UNIQUE KEY] [COMMENT <text>]\n\nMariaDB\'s generated columns syntax is designed to be similar to the syntax for\nMicrosoft SQL Server\'s computed columns and Oracle Database\'s virtual columns.\nIn MariaDB 10.2 and later, the syntax is also compatible with the syntax for\nMySQL\'s generated columns.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nA generated column is a column in a table that cannot explicitly be set to a\nspecific value in a DML query. Instead, its value is automatically generated\nbased on an expression. This expression might generate the value based on the\nvalues of other columns in the table, or it might generate the value by\ncalling built-in functions or user-defined functions (UDFs).\n\nThere are two types of generated columns:\n\n* PERSISTENT (a.k.a. STORED): This type\'s value is actually stored in the\ntable.\n* VIRTUAL: This type\'s value is not stored at all. Instead, the value is\ngenerated dynamically when the table is queried. This type is the default.\n\nGenerated columns are also sometimes called computed columns or virtual\ncolumns.\n\nSupported Features\n------------------\n\nStorage Engine Support\n----------------------\n\n* Generated columns can only be used with storage engines which support them.\nIf you try to use a storage engine that does not support them, then you will\nsee an error similar to the following:\n\nERROR 1910 (HY000): TokuDB storage engine does not support computed columns\n\n* InnoDB, Aria, MyISAM and CONNECT support generated columns.\n\n* A column in a MERGE table can be built on a PERSISTENT generated column.\nHowever, a column in a MERGE table can not be defined as a VIRTUAL and\nPERSISTENT generated column.\n\nData Type Support\n-----------------\n\n* All data types are supported when defining generated columns.\n\n* Using the ZEROFILL column option is supported when defining generated\ncolumns.\n\n* Using the AUTO_INCREMENT column option is not supported when defining\ngenerated columns. Until MariaDB 10.2.25, it was supported, but this support\nwas removed, because it would not work correctly. See MDEV-11117.\n\nIndex Support\n-------------\n\n* Using a generated column as a table\'s primary key is not supported. See\nMDEV-5590 for more information. If you try to use one as a primary key, then\nyou will see an error similar to the following:\n\nERROR 1903 (HY000): Primary key cannot be defined upon a computed column\n\n* Using PERSISTENT generated columns as part of a foreign key is supported.\n\n* Referencing PERSISTENT generated columns as part of a foreign key is also\nsupported.\nHowever, using the ON UPDATE CASCADE, ON UPDATE SET NULL, or ON DELETE SET\nNULL clauses is not supported. If you try to use an unsupported clause, then\nyou will see an error similar to the following:\n\nERROR 1905 (HY000): Cannot define foreign key with ON UPDATE SET NULL clause\non a computed column\n\n* Defining indexes on both VIRTUAL and PERSISTENT generated columns is\nsupported.\nIf an index is defined on a generated column, then the optimizer considers\nusing it in the same way as indexes based on \"real\" columns.\n\nStatement Support\n-----------------\n\n* Generated columns are used in DML queries just as if they were \"real\"\ncolumns.\nHowever, VIRTUAL and PERSISTENT generated columns differ in how their data is\nstored.\nValues for PERSISTENT generated columns are generated whenever a DML queries\ninserts or updates the row with the special DEFAULT value. This generates the\ncolumns value, and it is stored in the table like the other \"real\" columns.\nThis value can be read by other DML queries just like the other \"real\" columns.\nValues for VIRTUAL generated columns are not stored in the table. Instead, the\nvalue is generated dynamically whenever the column is queried. If other\ncolumns in a row are queried, but the VIRTUAL generated column is not one of\nthe queried columns, then the column\'s value is not generated.\n\n* The SELECT statement supports generated columns.\n\n* Generated columns can be referenced in the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE\nstatements.\nHowever, VIRTUAL or PERSISTENT generated columns cannot be explicitly set to\nany other values than NULL or DEFAULT. If a generated column is explicitly set\nto any other value, then the outcome depends on whether strict mode is enabled\nin sql_mode. If it is not enabled, then a warning will be raised and the\ndefault generated value will be used instead. If it is enabled, then an error\nwill be raised instead.\n\n* The CREATE TABLE statement has limited support for generated columns.\nIt supports defining generated columns in a new table.\nIt supports using generated columns to partition tables.\nIt does not support using the versioning clauses with generated columns.\n\n* The ALTER TABLE statement has limited support for generated columns.\nIt supports the MODIFY and CHANGE clauses for PERSISTENT generated columns.\nIt does not support the MODIFY clause for VIRTUAL generated columns if\nALGORITHM is not set to COPY. See MDEV-15476 for more information.\nIt does not support the CHANGE clause for VIRTUAL generated columns if\nALGORITHM is not set to COPY. See MDEV-17035 for more information.\nIt does not support altering a table if ALGORITHM is not set to COPY if the\ntable has a VIRTUAL generated column that is indexed. See MDEV-14046 for more\ninformation.\nIt does not support adding a VIRTUAL generated column with the ADD clause if\nthe same statement is also adding other columns if ALGORITHM is not set to\nCOPY. See MDEV-17468 for more information.\nIt also does not support altering an existing column into a VIRTUAL generated\ncolumn.\nIt supports using generated columns to partition tables.\nIt does not support using the versioning clauses with generated columns.\n\n* The SHOW CREATE TABLE statement supports generated columns.\n\n* The DESCRIBE statement can be used to check whether a table has generated\ncolumns.\nYou can tell which columns are generated by looking for the ones where the\nExtra column is set to either VIRTUAL or PERSISTENT. For example:\n\nDESCRIBE table1;\n+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------+\n| a | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |\n| b | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | |\n| c | int(11) | YES | | NULL | VIRTUAL |\n| d | varchar(5) | YES | | NULL | PERSISTENT |\n+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------+\n\n* Generated columns can be properly referenced in the NEW and OLD rows in\ntriggers.\n\n* Stored procedures support generated columns.\n\n* The HANDLER statement supports generated columns.\n\nExpression Support\n------------------\n\n* Most legal, deterministic expressions which can be calculated are supported\nin expressions for generated columns.\n\n* Most built-in functions are supported in expressions for generated columns.\nHowever, some built-in functions can\'t be supported for technical reasons. For\nexample, If you try to use an unsupported function in an expression, an error\nis generated similar to the following:\n\nERROR 1901 (HY000): Function or expression \'dayname()\' cannot be used in the\nGENERATED ALWAYS AS clause of `v`\n\n* Subqueries are not supported in expressions for generated columns because\nthe underlying data can change.\n\n* Using anything that depends on data outside the row is not supported in\nexpressions for generated columns.\n\n* Stored functions are not supported in expressions for generated columns. See\nMDEV-17587 for more information.\n\n* Non-deterministic built-in functions are supported in expressions for not\nindexed VIRTUAL generated columns.\n\n* Non-deterministic built-in functions are not supported in expressions for\nPERSISTENT or indexed VIRTUAL generated columns.\n\n* User-defined functions (UDFs) are supported in expressions for generated\ncolumns.\nHowever, MariaDB can\'t check whether a UDF is deterministic, so it is up to\nthe user to be sure that they do not use non-deterministic UDFs with VIRTUAL\ngenerated columns.\n\n* Defining a generated column based on other generated columns defined before\nit in the table definition is supported. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a int as (1), b int as (a));\n\n* However, defining a generated column based on other generated columns\ndefined after in the table definition is not supported in expressions for\ngeneration columns because generated columns are calculated in the order they\nare defined.\n\n* Using an expression that exceeds 255 characters in length is supported in\nexpressions for generated columns. The new limit for the entire table\ndefinition, including all expressions for generated columns, is 65,535 bytes.\n\n* Using constant expressions is supported in expressions for generated\ncolumns. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a int as (1));\n\nMaking Stored Values Consistent\n-------------------------------\n\nWhen a generated column is PERSISTENT or indexed, the value of the expression\nneeds to be consistent regardless of the SQL Mode flags in the current\nsession. If it is not, then the table will be seen as corrupted when the value\nthat should actually be returned by the computed expression and the value that\nwas previously stored and/or indexed using a different sql_mode setting\ndisagree.\n\nThere are currently two affected classes of inconsistencies: character padding\nand unsigned subtraction:\n\n* For a VARCHAR or TEXT generated column the length of the value returned can\nvary depending on the PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH sql_mode flag. To make the\nvalue consistent, create the generated column using an RTRIM() or RPAD()\nfunction. Alternately, create the generated column as a CHAR column so that\nits data is always fully padded.\n\n* If a SIGNED generated column is based on the subtraction of an UNSIGNED\nvalue, the resulting value can vary depending on how large the value is and\nthe NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION sql_mode flag. To make the value consistent, use\nCAST() to ensure that each UNSIGNED operand is SIGNED before the subtraction.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5\n--------------------------\nBeginning in MariaDB 10.5, there is a fatal error generated when trying to\ncreate a generated column whose value can change depending on the SQL Mode\nwhen its data is PERSISTENT or indexed.\n\nFor an existing generated column that has a potentially inconsistent value, a\nwarning about a bad expression is generated the first time it is used (if\nwarnings are enabled).\n\nBeginning in MariaDB 10.4.8, MariaDB 10.3.18, and MariaDB 10.2.27 a\npotentially inconsistent generated column outputs a warning when created or\nfirst used (without restricting their creation).\n\nHere is an example of two tables that would be rejected in MariaDB 10.5 and\nwarned about in the other listed versions:\n\nCREATE TABLE bad_pad (\n txt CHAR(5),\n -- CHAR -> VARCHAR or CHAR -> TEXT can\'t be persistent or indexed:\n vtxt VARCHAR(5) AS (txt) PERSISTENT\n);\n\nCREATE TABLE bad_sub (\n num1 BIGINT UNSIGNED,\n num2 BIGINT UNSIGNED,\n -- The resulting value can vary for some large values\n vnum BIGINT AS (num1 - num2) VIRTUAL,\n KEY(vnum)\n);\n\nThe warnings for the above tables look like this:\n\nWarning (Code 1901): Function or expression \'`txt`\' cannot be used in the\nGENERATED ALWAYS AS clause of `vtxt`\nWarning (Code 1105): Expression depends on the @@sql_mode value\nPAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH\n\nWarning (Code 1901): Function or expression \'`num1` - `num2`\' cannot be used\nin the GENERATED ALWAYS AS clause of `vnum`\nWarning (Code 1105): Expression depends on the @@sql_mode value\nNO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION\n\nTo work around the issue, force the padding or type to make the generated\ncolumn\'s expression return a consistent value. For example:\n\nCREATE TABLE good_pad (\n txt CHAR(5),\n -- Using RTRIM() or RPAD() makes the value consistent:\n vtxt VARCHAR(5) AS (RTRIM(txt)) PERSISTENT,\n -- When not persistent or indexed, it is OK for the value to vary by mode:\n vtxt2 VARCHAR(5) AS (txt) VIRTUAL,\n -- CHAR -> CHAR is always OK:\n txt2 CHAR(5) AS (txt) PERSISTENT\n);\n\nCREATE TABLE good_sub (\n num1 BIGINT UNSIGNED,\n num2 BIGINT UNSIGNED,\n -- The indexed value will always be consistent in this expression:\n vnum BIGINT AS (CAST(num1 AS SIGNED) - CAST(num2 AS SIGNED)) VIRTUAL,\n KEY(vnum)\n);\n\nMySQL Compatibility Support\n---------------------------\n\n* The STORED keyword is supported as an alias for the PERSISTENT keyword.\n\n* Tables created with MySQL 5.7 or later that contain MySQL\'s generated\ncolumns can be imported into MariaDB without a dump and restore.\n\nImplementation Differences\n--------------------------\n\nGenerated columns are subject to various constraints in other DBMSs that are\nnot present in MariaDB\'s implementation. Generated columns may also be called\ncomputed columns or virtual columns in different implementations. The various\ndetails for a specific implementation can be found in the documentation for\neach specific DBMS.\n\nImplementation Differences Compared to Microsoft SQL Server\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB\'s generated columns implementation does not enforce the following\nrestrictions that are present in Microsoft SQL Server\'s computed columns\nimplementation:\n\n* MariaDB allows server variables in generated column expressions, including\nthose that change dynamically, such as warning_count.\n* MariaDB allows the CONVERT_TZ() function to be called with a named time zone\nas an argument, even though time zone names and time offsets are configurable.\n* MariaDB allows the CAST() function to be used with non-unicode character\nsets, even though character sets are configurable and differ between\nbinaries/versions.\n* MariaDB allows FLOAT expressions to be used in generated columns. Microsoft\nSQL Server considers these expressions to be \"imprecise\" due to potential\ncross-platform differences in floating-point implementations and precision.\n* Microsoft SQL Server requires the ARITHABORT mode to be set, so that\ndivision by zero returns an error, and not a NULL.\n* Microsoft SQL Server requires QUOTED_IDENTIFIER to be set in sql_mode. In\nMariaDB, if data is inserted without ANSI_QUOTES set in sql_mode, then it will','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/generated-columns/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nbe processed and stored differently in a generated column that contains quoted\nidentifiers.\n\nMicrosoft SQL Server enforces the above restrictions by doing one of the\nfollowing things:\n\n* Refusing to create computed columns.\n* Refusing to allow updates to a table containing them.\n* Refusing to use an index over such a column if it can not be guaranteed that\nthe expression is fully deterministic.\n\nIn MariaDB, as long as the sql_mode, language, and other settings that were in\neffect during the CREATE TABLE remain unchanged, the generated column\nexpression will always be evaluated the same. If any of these things change,\nthen please be aware that the generated column expression might not be\nevaluated the same way as it previously was.\n\nIf you try to update a virtual column, you will get an error if the default\nstrict mode is enabled in sql_mode, or a warning otherwise.\n\nDevelopment History\n-------------------\n\nGenerated columns was originally developed by Andrey Zhakov. It was then\nmodified by Sanja Byelkin and Igor Babaev at Monty Program for inclusion in\nMariaDB.

These columns will then not be listed in the results of a SELECT *\nstatement, nor do they need to be assigned a value in an INSERT statement,\nunless INSERT explicitly mentions them by name.\n\nSince SELECT * does not return the invisible columns, new tables or views\ncreated in this manner will have no trace of the invisible columns.

This\nstatement is mapped to an ALTER TABLE statement to drop the index.\n\nIf another connection is using the table, a metadata lock is active, and this\nstatement will wait until the lock is released. This is also true for\nnon-transactional tables.\n\nSee ALTER TABLE.\n\nAnother shortcut, CREATE INDEX, allows the creation of an index.\n\nTo remove the primary key, `PRIMARY` must be specified as index_name. Note\nthat the quotes are necessary, because PRIMARY is a keyword.\n\nPrivileges\n----------\n\nExecuting the DROP INDEX statement requires the INDEX privilege for the table\nor the database.\n\nOnline DDL\n----------\n\nOnline DDL is used by default with InnoDB, when the drop index operation\nsupports it.\n\nSee InnoDB Online DDL Overview for more information on online DDL with InnoDB.\n\nDROP INDEX IF EXISTS ...\n------------------------\n\nIf the IF EXISTS clause is used, then MariaDB will return a warning instead of\nan error if the index does not exist.\n\nWAIT/NOWAIT\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.0\n----------------------------\nSet the lock wait timeout.

This is useful to\ndelete views from multiple databases with one statement. See Identifier\nQualifiers for details.\n\nThe DROP privilege is required to use DROP TABLE on non-temporary tables. For\ntemporary tables, no privilege is required, because such tables are only\nvisible for the current session.\n\nIf a view references another view, it will be possible to drop the referenced\nview. However, the other view will reference a view which does not exist any\nmore. Thus, querying it will produce an error similar to the following:\n\nERROR 1356 (HY000): View \'db_name.view_name\' references invalid table(s) or \ncolumn(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them\n\nThis problem is reported in the output of CHECK TABLE.\n\nNote that it is not necessary to use DROP VIEW to replace an existing view,\nbecause CREATE VIEW has an OR REPLACE clause.\n\nAtomic DDL\n----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.1\n----------------------------\nMariaDB 10.6.1 supports Atomic DDL and DROP VIEW for a singular view is\natomic.

This\nallows you to enforce data integrity from MariaDB, rather than through\napplication logic. When a statement violates a constraint, MariaDB throws an\nerror.\n\nThere are four types of table constraints:\n\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| Constraint | Description |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| PRIMARY KEY | Sets the column for referencing |\n| | rows. Values must be unique and not |\n| | null. |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| FOREIGN KEY | Sets the column to reference the |\n| | primary key on another table. |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| UNIQUE | Requires values in column or columns |\n| | only occur once in the table. |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| CHECK | Checks whether the data meets the |\n| | given condition. |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n\nThe Information Schema TABLE_CONSTRAINTS Table contains information about\ntables that have constraints.\n\nFOREIGN KEY Constraints\n-----------------------\n\nInnoDB supports foreign key constraints. The syntax for a foreign key\nconstraint definition in InnoDB looks like this:\n\n[CONSTRAINT [symbol]] FOREIGN KEY\n [index_name] (index_col_name, ...)\n REFERENCES tbl_name (index_col_name,...)\n [ON DELETE reference_option]\n [ON UPDATE reference_option]\n\nreference_option:\n RESTRICT | CASCADE | SET NULL | NO ACTION\n\nThe Information Schema REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS table has more information\nabout foreign keys.\n\nCHECK Constraints\n-----------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.2.1\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.2.1, constraints are enforced. Before MariaDB 10.2.1\nconstraint expressions were accepted in the syntax but ignored.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.2.1 you can define constraints in 2 different ways:\n\n* CHECK(expression) given as part of a column definition.\n* CONSTRAINT [constraint_name] CHECK (expression)\n\nBefore a row is inserted or updated, all constraints are evaluated in the\norder they are defined. If any constraint expression returns false, then the\nrow will not be inserted or updated. One can use most deterministic functions\nin a constraint, including UDFs.\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INT CHECK (a>2), b INT CHECK (b>2), CONSTRAINT a_greater\nCHECK (a>b));\n\nIf you use the second format and you don\'t give a name to the constraint, then\nthe constraint will get an automatically generated name. This is done so that\nyou can later delete the constraint with ALTER TABLE DROP constraint_name.\n\nOne can disable all constraint expression checks by setting the\ncheck_constraint_checks variable to OFF. This is useful for example when\nloading a table that violates some constraints that you want to later find and\nfix in SQL.\n\nReplication\n-----------\n\nIn row-based replication, only the master checks constraints, and failed\nstatements will not be replicated. In statement-based replication, the slaves\nwill also check constraints.

It works by storing a set of columns in a blob and having a small set\nof functions to manipulate it. Dynamic columns should be used when it is not\npossible to use regular columns. A typical use case is when one needs to store\nitems that may have many different attributes (like size, color, weight, etc),\nand the set of possible attributes is very large and/or unknown in advance. In\nthat case, attributes can be put into dynamic columns.\n\nDynamic Columns Basics\n----------------------\n\nThe table should have a blob column which will be used as storage for dynamic\ncolumns:\n\ncreate table assets (\n item_name varchar(32) primary key, -- A common attribute for all items\n dynamic_cols blob -- Dynamic columns will be stored here\n);\n\nOnce created, one can access dynamic columns via dynamic column functions:\n\nInsert a row with two dynamic columns: color=blue, size=XL\n\nINSERT INTO assets VALUES \n (\'MariaDB T-shirt\', COLUMN_CREATE(\'color\', \'blue\', \'size\', \'XL\'));\n\nInsert another row with dynamic columns: color=black, price=500\n\nINSERT INTO assets VALUES\n (\'Thinkpad Laptop\', COLUMN_CREATE(\'color\', \'black\', \'price\', 500));\n\nSelect dynamic column \'color\' for all items:\n\nSELECT item_name, COLUMN_GET(dynamic_cols, \'color\' as char) \n AS color FROM assets;\n+-----------------+-------+\n| item_name | color |\n+-----------------+-------+\n| MariaDB T-shirt | blue |\n| Thinkpad Laptop | black |\n+-----------------+-------+\n\nIt is possible to add and remove dynamic columns from a row:\n\n-- Remove a column:\nUPDATE assets SET dynamic_cols=COLUMN_DELETE(dynamic_cols, \"price\") \nWHERE COLUMN_GET(dynamic_cols, \'color\' as char)=\'black\';\n\n-- Add a column:\nUPDATE assets SET dynamic_cols=COLUMN_ADD(dynamic_cols, \'warranty\', \'3 years\')\nWHERE item_name=\'Thinkpad Laptop\';\n\nYou can also list all columns, or get them together with their values in JSON\nformat:\n\nSELECT item_name, column_list(dynamic_cols) FROM assets;\n+-----------------+---------------------------+\n| item_name | column_list(dynamic_cols) |\n+-----------------+---------------------------+\n| MariaDB T-shirt | `size`,`color` |\n| Thinkpad Laptop | `color`,`warranty` |\n+-----------------+---------------------------+\n\nSELECT item_name, COLUMN_JSON(dynamic_cols) FROM assets;\n+-----------------+----------------------------------------+\n| item_name | COLUMN_JSON(dynamic_cols) |\n+-----------------+----------------------------------------+\n| MariaDB T-shirt | {\"size\":\"XL\",\"color\":\"blue\"} |\n| Thinkpad Laptop | {\"color\":\"black\",\"warranty\":\"3 years\"} |\n+-----------------+----------------------------------------+\n\nDynamic Columns Reference\n-------------------------\n\nThe rest of this page is a complete reference of dynamic columns in MariaDB\n\nDynamic Columns Functions\n-------------------------\n\nCOLUMN_CREATE\n-------------\n\nCOLUMN_CREATE(column_nr, value [as type], [column_nr, value \n [as type]]...);\nCOLUMN_CREATE(column_name, value [as type], [column_name, value \n [as type]]...);\n\nReturn a dynamic columns blob that stores the specified columns with values.\n\nThe return value is suitable for\n\n* \nstoring in a table\nfurther modification with other dynamic columns functions\n\nThe as type part allows one to specify the value type. In most cases, this is\nredundant because MariaDB will be able to deduce the type of the value.\nExplicit type specification may be needed when the type of the value is not\napparent. For example, a literal \'2012-12-01\' has a CHAR type by default, one\nwill need to specify \'2012-12-01\' AS DATE to have it stored as a date. See the\nDatatypes section for further details. Note also MDEV-597.\n\nTypical usage:\n\n-- MariaDB 5.3+:\nINSERT INTO tbl SET dyncol_blob=COLUMN_CREATE(1 /*column id*/, \"value\");\n-- MariaDB 10.0.1+:\nINSERT INTO tbl SET dyncol_blob=COLUMN_CREATE(\"column_name\", \"value\");\n\nCOLUMN_ADD\n----------\n\nCOLUMN_ADD(dyncol_blob, column_nr, value [as type], \n [column_nr, value [as type]]...);\nCOLUMN_ADD(dyncol_blob, column_name, value [as type], \n [column_name, value [as type]]...);\n\nAdds or updates dynamic columns.\n\n* \ndyncol_blob must be either a valid dynamic columns blob (for example,\nCOLUMN_CREATE returns such blob), or an empty string.\ncolumn_name specifies the name of the column to be added. If dyncol_blob\nalready has a column with this name, it will be overwritten.\nvalue specifies the new value for the column. Passing a NULL value will cause\nthe column to be deleted.\nas type is optional. See #datatypes section for a discussion about types.\n\nThe return value is a dynamic column blob after the modifications.\n\nTypical usage:\n\n-- MariaDB 5.3+:\nUPDATE tbl SET dyncol_blob=COLUMN_ADD(dyncol_blob, 1 /*column id*/, \"value\") \n WHERE id=1;\n-- MariaDB 10.0.1+:\nUPDATE t1 SET dyncol_blob=COLUMN_ADD(dyncol_blob, \"column_name\", \"value\") \n WHERE id=1;\n\nNote: COLUMN_ADD() is a regular function (just like CONCAT()), hence, in order\nto update the value in the table you have to use the UPDATE ... SET\ndynamic_col=COLUMN_ADD(dynamic_col, ....) pattern.\n\nCOLUMN_GET\n----------\n\nCOLUMN_GET(dyncol_blob, column_nr as type);\nCOLUMN_GET(dyncol_blob, column_name as type);\n\nGet the value of a dynamic column by its name. If no column with the given\nname exists, NULL will be returned.\n\ncolumn_name as type requires that one specify the datatype of the dynamic\ncolumn they are reading.\n\nThis may seem counter-intuitive: why would one need to specify which datatype\nthey\'re retrieving? Can\'t the dynamic columns system figure the datatype from\nthe data being stored?\n\nThe answer is: SQL is a statically-typed language. The SQL interpreter needs\nto know the datatypes of all expressions before the query is run (for example,\nwhen one is using prepared statements and runs \"select COLUMN_GET(...)\", the\nprepared statement API requires the server to inform the client about the\ndatatype of the column being read before the query is executed and the server\ncan see what datatype the column actually has).\n\nSee the Datatypes section for more information about datatypes.\n\nCOLUMN_DELETE\n-------------\n\nCOLUMN_DELETE(dyncol_blob, column_nr, column_nr...);\nCOLUMN_DELETE(dyncol_blob, column_name, column_name...);\n\nDelete a dynamic column with the specified name. Multiple names can be given.\n\nThe return value is a dynamic column blob after the modification.\n\nCOLUMN_EXISTS\n-------------\n\nCOLUMN_EXISTS(dyncol_blob, column_nr);\nCOLUMN_EXISTS(dyncol_blob, column_name);\n\nCheck if a column with name column_name exists in dyncol_blob. If yes, return\n1, otherwise return 0.\n\nCOLUMN_LIST\n-----------\n\nCOLUMN_LIST(dyncol_blob);\n\nReturn a comma-separated list of column names. The names are quoted with\nbackticks.\n\nSELECT column_list(column_create(\'col1\',\'val1\',\'col2\',\'val2\'));\n+---------------------------------------------------------+\n| column_list(column_create(\'col1\',\'val1\',\'col2\',\'val2\')) |\n+---------------------------------------------------------+\n| `col1`,`col2` |\n+---------------------------------------------------------+\n\nCOLUMN_CHECK\n------------\n\nCOLUMN_CHECK(dyncol_blob);\n\nCheck if dyncol_blob is a valid packed dynamic columns blob. Return value of 1\nmeans the blob is valid, return value of 0 means it is not.\n\nRationale: Normally, one works with valid dynamic column blobs. Functions like\nCOLUMN_CREATE, COLUMN_ADD, COLUMN_DELETE always return valid dynamic column\nblobs. However, if a dynamic column blob is accidentally truncated, or\ntranscoded from one character set to another, it will be corrupted. This\nfunction can be used to check if a value in a blob field is a valid dynamic\ncolumn blob.\n\nNote: It is possible that a truncation cut a Dynamic Column \"clearly\" so that\nCOLUMN_CHECK will not notice the corruption, but in any case of truncation a\nwarning is issued during value storing.\n\nCOLUMN_JSON\n-----------\n\nCOLUMN_JSON(dyncol_blob);\n\nReturn a JSON representation of data in dyncol_blob.\n\nExample:\n\nSELECT item_name, COLUMN_JSON(dynamic_cols) FROM assets;\n+-----------------+----------------------------------------+\n| item_name | COLUMN_JSON(dynamic_cols) |\n+-----------------+----------------------------------------+\n| MariaDB T-shirt | {\"size\":\"XL\",\"color\":\"blue\"} |\n| Thinkpad Laptop | {\"color\":\"black\",\"warranty\":\"3 years\"} |\n+-----------------+----------------------------------------+\n\nLimitation: COLUMN_JSON will decode nested dynamic columns at a nesting level\nof not more than 10 levels deep. Dynamic columns that are nested deeper than\n10 levels will be shown as BINARY string, without encoding.\n\nNesting Dynamic Columns\n-----------------------\n\nIt is possible to use nested dynamic columns by putting one dynamic column\nblob inside another. The COLUMN_JSON function will display nested columns.\n\nSET @tmp= column_create(\'parent_column\', \n column_create(\'child_column\', 12345));\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)\n\nSELECT column_json(@tmp);\n+------------------------------------------+\n| column_json(@tmp) |\n+------------------------------------------+\n| {\"parent_column\":{\"child_column\":12345}} |\n+------------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT column_get(column_get(@tmp, \'parent_column\' AS char), \n \'child_column\' AS int);\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n| column_get(column_get(@tmp, \'parent_column\' as char), \'child_column\' as int)\n|\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n| 12345\n|\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you are trying to get a nested dynamic column as a string use \'as BINARY\'\nas the last argument of COLUMN_GET (otherwise problems with character set\nconversion and illegal symbols are possible):\n\nselect column_json( column_get(\n column_create(\'test1\',\n column_create(\'key1\',\'value1\',\'key2\',\'value2\',\'key3\',\'value3\')),\n \'test1\' as BINARY));\n\nDatatypes\n---------\n\nIn SQL, one needs to define the type of each column in a table. Dynamic\ncolumns do not provide any way to declare a type in advance (\"whenever there\nis a column \'weight\', it should be integer\" is not possible). However, each\nparticular dynamic column value is stored together with its datatype.\n\nThe set of possible datatypes is mostly the same as that used by the SQL CAST\nand CONVERT functions. However, note that there are currently some differences\n- see MDEV-597.\n\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| type | dynamic column internal type | description |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| BINARY | DYN_COL_STRING | (variable length |\n| (N)] | | string with |\n| | | binary charset) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| CHAR[( | DYN_COL_STRING | (variable length |\n| )] | | string with |\n| | | charset) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| DATE | DYN_COL_DATE | (date - 3 bytes) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| DATETI | DYN_COL_DATETIME | (date and time |\n| E[(D)] | | (with |\n| | | microseconds) - |\n| | | 9 bytes) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| DECIMA | DYN_COL_DECIMAL | (variable length |\n| [(M[,D | | binary decimal |\n| )] | | representation |\n| | | with MariaDB |\n| | | limitation) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| DOUBLE | DYN_COL_DOUBLE | (64 bit |\n| (M,D)] | | double-precision |\n| | | floating point) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| INTEGE | DYN_COL_INT | (variable |\n| | | length, up to 64 |\n| | | bit signed |\n| | | integer) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| SIGNED | DYN_COL_INT | (variable |\n| [INTEG | | length, up to 64 |\n| R] | | bit signed |\n| | | integer) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| TIME[( | DYN_COL_TIME | (time (with |\n| )] | | microseconds, |\n| | | may be negative) |\n| | | - 6 bytes) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n| UNSIGN | DYN_COL_UINT | (variable |\n| D | | length, up to |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/dynamic-columns/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| [INTEG | | 64bit unsigned |\n| R] | | integer) |\n+--------+----------------------------------------------+-------------------+\n\nA Note About Lengths\n--------------------\n\nIf you\'re running queries like\n\nSELECT COLUMN_GET(blob, \'colname\' as CHAR) ...\n\nwithout specifying a maximum length (i.e. using #as CHAR#, not as CHAR(n)),\nMariaDB will report the maximum length of the resultset column to be\n53,6870,911 (bytes or characters?) for MariaDB 5.3-10.0.0 and 16,777,216 for\nMariaDB 10.0.1+. This may cause excessive memory usage in some client\nlibraries, because they try to pre-allocate a buffer of maximum resultset\nwidth. If you suspect you\'re hitting this problem, use CHAR(n) whenever you\'re\nusing COLUMN_GET in the select list.\n\nMariaDB 5.3 vs MariaDB 10.0\n---------------------------\n\nThe dynamic columns feature was introduced into MariaDB in two steps:\n\n* MariaDB 5.3 was the first version to support dynamic columns. Only numbers\n could be used as column names in this version.\n* In MariaDB 10.0.1, column names can be either numbers or strings.\n Also, the COLUMN_JSON and COLUMN_CHECK functions were added.\n\nSee also Dynamic Columns in MariaDB 10.\n\nClient-side API\n---------------\n\nIt is also possible to create or parse dynamic columns blobs on the client\nside. libmysql client library now includes an API for writing/reading dynamic\ncolumn blobs.

You cannot merge MyISAM\ntables in which the columns are listed in a different order, do not have\nexactly the same columns, or have the indexes in different order. However, any\nor all of the MyISAM tables can be compressed with myisampack. Columns names\nand indexes names can be different, as long as data types and NULL/NOT NULL\nclauses are the same. Differences in table options such as AVG_ROW_LENGTH,\nMAX_ROWS, or PACK_KEYS do not matter.\n\nEach index in a MERGE table must match an index in underlying MyISAM tables,\nbut the opposite is not true. Also, a MERGE table cannot have a PRIMARY KEY or\nUNIQUE indexes, because it cannot enforce uniqueness over all underlying\ntables.\n\nThe following options are meaningful for MERGE tables:\n\n* UNION. This option specifies the list of the underlying MyISAM tables. The\nlist is enclosed between parentheses and separated with commas.\n* INSERT_METHOD. This options specifies whether, and how, INSERTs are allowed\nfor the table. Allowed values are: NO (INSERTs are not allowed), FIRST (new\nrows will be written into the first table specified in the UNION list), LAST\n(new rows will be written into the last table specified in the UNION list).\nThe default value is NO.\n\nIf you define a MERGE table with a definition which is different from the\nunderlying MyISAM tables, or one of the underlying tables is not MyISAM, the\nCREATE TABLE statement will not return any error. But any statement which\ninvolves the table will produce an error like the following:\n\nERROR 1168 (HY000): Unable to open underlying table which is differently\ndefined \n or of non-MyISAM type or doesn\'t exist\n\nA CHECK TABLE will show more information about the problem.\n\nThe error is also produced if the table is properly define, but an underlying\ntable\'s definition changes at some point in time.\n\nIf you try to insert a new row into a MERGE table with INSERT_METHOD=NO, you\nwill get an error like the following:\n\nERROR 1036 (HY000): Table \'tbl_name\' is read only\n\nIt is possible to build a MERGE table on MyISAM tables which have one or more\nvirtual columns. MERGE itself does not support virtual columns, thus such\ncolumns will be seen as regular columns.

It\'s an alternative to AUTO INCREMENT when\none wants to have more control of how the numbers are generated. As the\nSEQUENCE caches values (up to the CACHE value in the CREATE SEQUENCE\nstatement, by default 1000) it can in some cases be much faster than AUTO\nINCREMENT. Another benefit is that one can access the last value generated by\nall used sequences, which solves one of the limitations with LAST_INSERT_ID().\n\nCreating a Sequence\n-------------------\n\nThe CREATE SEQUENCE statement is used to create a sequence. Here is an example\nof a sequence starting at 100, incrementing by 10 each time:\n\nCREATE SEQUENCE s START WITH 100 INCREMENT BY 10;\n\nThe CREATE SEQUENCE statement, along with defaults, can be viewd with the SHOW\nCREATE SEQUENCE STATEMENT, for example:\n\nSHOW CREATE SEQUENCE s\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\n Table: s\nCreate Table: CREATE SEQUENCE `s` start with 100 minvalue 1 maxvalue\n9223372036854775806 \n increment by 10 cache 1000 nocycle ENGINE=InnoDB\n\nUsing Sequence Objects\n----------------------\n\nTo get the next value from a sequence, use\n\nNEXT VALUE FOR sequence_name\n\nor\n\nNEXTVAL(sequence_name)\n\nor in Oracle mode (SQL_MODE=ORACLE)\n\nsequence_name.nextval\n\nFor retrieving the last value used by the current connection from a sequence\nuse:\n\nPREVIOUS VALUE FOR sequence_name\n\nor\n\nLASTVAL(sequence_name)\n\nor in Oracle mode (SQL_MODE=ORACLE)\n\nsequence_name.currval\n\nFor example:\n\nSELECT NEXTVAL(s);\n+------------+\n| NEXTVAL(s) |\n+------------+\n| 100 |\n+------------+\n\nSELECT NEXTVAL(s);\n+------------+\n| NEXTVAL(s) |\n+------------+\n| 110 |\n+------------+\n\nSELECT LASTVAL(s);\n+------------+\n| LASTVAL(s) |\n+------------+\n| 110 |\n+------------+\n\nUsing Sequences in DEFAULT\n--------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nStarting from 10.3.3 you can use Sequences in DEFAULT:\n\ncreate sequence s1;\ncreate table t1 (a int primary key default (next value for s1), b int);\ninsert into t1 (b) values (1),(2);\nselect * from t1;\n+---+------+\n| a | b |\n+---+------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n| 2 | 2 |\n+---+------+\n\nChanging a Sequence\n-------------------\n\nThe ALTER SEQUENCE statement is used for changing sequences. For example, to\nrestart the sequence at another value:\n\nALTER SEQUENCE s RESTART 50;\n\nSELECT NEXTVAL(s);\n+------------+\n| NEXTVAL(s) |\n+------------+\n| 50 |\n+------------+\n\nThe SETVAL function can also be used to set the next value to be returned for\na SEQUENCE, for example:\n\nSELECT SETVAL(s, 100);\n+----------------+\n| SETVAL(s, 100) |\n+----------------+\n| 100 |\n+----------------+\n\nSETVAL can only be used to increase the sequence value. Attempting to set a\nlower value will fail, returning NULL:\n\nSELECT SETVAL(s, 50);\n+---------------+\n| SETVAL(s, 50) |\n+---------------+\n| NULL |\n+---------------+\n\nDropping a Sequence\n-------------------\n\nThe DROP SEQUENCE statement is used to drop a sequence, for example:\n\nDROP SEQUENCE s;\n\nReplication\n-----------\n\nIf one wants to use Sequences in a master-master setup or with Galera one\nshould use INCREMENT=0. This will tell the Sequence to use\nauto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset to generate unique values\nfor each server.\n\nStandards Compliance\n--------------------\n\nMariaDB 10.3 supports both ANSI SQL and Oracle syntax for sequences.\n\nHowever as SEQUENCE is implemented as a special kind of table, it uses the\nsame namespace as tables. The benefits are that sequences show up in SHOW\nTABLES, and one can also create a sequence with CREATE TABLE and drop it with\nDROP TABLE. One can SELECT from it as from any other table. This ensures that\nall old tools that work with tables should work with sequences.\n\nSince sequence objects act as regular tables in many contexts, they will be\naffected by LOCK TABLES. This is not the case in other DBMS, such as Oracle,\nwhere LOCK TABLE does not affect sequences.\n\nNotes\n-----\n\nOne of the goals with the Sequence implementation is that all old tools, such\nas mysqldump, should work unchanged, while still keeping the normal usage of\nsequence standard compatibly.\n\nTo make this possible, sequence is currently implemented as a table with a few\nexclusive properties.\n\nThe special properties for sequence tables are:\n\n* A sequence table has always one row.\n* When one creates a sequence, either with CREATE TABLE or CREATE SEQUENCE,\none row will be inserted.\n* If one tries to insert into a sequence table, the single row will be\nupdated. This allows mysqldump to work but also gives the additional benefit\nthat one can change all properties of a sequence with a single insert. New\napplications should of course also use ALTER SEQUENCE.\n* UPDATE or DELETE can\'t be performed on Sequence objects.\n* Doing a select on the sequence shows the current state of the sequence,\nexcept the values that are reserved in the cache. The next_value column shows\nthe next value not reserved by the cache.\n* FLUSH TABLES will close the sequence and the next sequence number generated\nwill be according to what\'s stored in the Sequence object. In effect, this\nwill discard the cached values.\n* A number of normal table operations work on Sequence tables. See next\nsection.\n\nTable Operations that Work with Sequences\n-----------------------------------------\n\n* SHOW CREATE TABLE sequence_name. This shows the table structure that is\nbehind the SEQUENCE including the field names that can be used with SELECT or\neven CREATE TABLE.\n* CREATE TABLE sequence-structure ... SEQUENCE=1\n* ALTER TABLE sequence RENAME TO sequence2\n* RENAME TABLE sequence_name TO new_sequence_name\n* DROP TABLE sequence_name. This is allowed mainly to get old tools like\nmysqldump to work with sequence tables.\n* SHOW TABLES\n\nImplementation\n--------------\n\nInternally, sequence tables are created as a normal table without rollback\n(the InnoDB, Aria and MySAM engines support this), wrapped by a sequence\nengine object. This allowed us to create sequences with almost no performance\nimpact for normal tables. (The cost is one \'if\' per insert if the binary log\nis enabled).\n\nUnderlying Table Structure\n--------------------------\n\nThe following example shows the table structure of sequences and how it can be\nused as a table.

MariaDB defines this\npath as follows:\n\nJSON Path Syntax\n----------------\n\npath : [\'lax\'] \'$\' [step]*\n\nThe path starts with an optional path mode. At the moment, MariaDB supports\nonly the \"lax\" mode, which is also the mode that is used when it is not\nexplicitly specified.\n\nThe $ symbol represents the context item. The search always starts from the\ncontext item; because of that, the path always starts with $.\n\nThen, it is followed by zero or more steps, which select element(s) in the\nJSON document. A step may be one of the following:\n\n* Object member selector\n* Array element selector\n* Wildcard selector\n\nObject Member Selector\n----------------------\n\nTo select member(s) in a JSON object, one can use one of the following:\n\n* .memberName selects the value of the member with name memberName.\n* .\"memberName\" - the same as above but allows one to select a member with a\nname that\'s not a valid identifier (that is, has space, dot, and/or other\ncharacters)\n* .* - selects the values of all members of the object.\n\nIf the current item is an array (instead of an object), nothing will be\nselected.\n\nArray Element Selector\n----------------------\n\nTo select elements of an array, one can use one of the following:\n\n* [N] selects element number N in the array. The elements are counted from\nzero.\n* [*] selects all elements in the array.\n\nIf the current item is an object (instead of an array), nothing will be\nselected.\n\nStarting from MariaDB server 10.9, JSON path also supports negative index in\narray, \'last\' keyword and range notation (\'to\' keyword) for accessing array\nelements. Negative index starts from -1.\n\n* [-N] selects n th element from end.\n* [last-N] selects n th element from the last element.\n* [M to N] selects range of elements starting from index M to N.\n\nExample:\n\nSET @json=\'{\n \"A\": [0,\n [1, 2, 3],\n [4, 5, 6],\n \"seven\",\n 0.8,\n true,\n false,\n \"eleven\",\n [12, [13, 14], {\"key1\":\"value1\"},[15]],\n true],\n \"B\": {\"C\": 1},\n \"D\": 2\n }\';\nSELECT JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$.A[-8][1]\');\n+--------------------------------------------------+\n| JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$.A[-8][1]\') |\n+--------------------------------------------------+\n| 5 |\n+--------------------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$.A[last-7][1]\');\n+-----------------------------------------------+\n| SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$.A[last-7][1]\'); |\n+-----------------------------------------------+\n| 5 |\n+-----------------------------------------------+\n\nSET @json= \'[\n [1, {\"key1\": \"value1\"}, 3],\n [false, 5, 6],\n [7, 8, [9, {\"key2\": 2}, 11]],\n [15, 1.34, [14], [\"string1\", [16, {\"key1\":[1,2,3,[4,5,6]]}, 18]]],\n [19, 20],\n 21, 22\n ]\';\n\nSELECT JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$[0 to 3][2]\');\n+-----------------------------------------------+\n| JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$[0 to 3][2]\') |\n+-----------------------------------------------+\n| [3, 6, [9, {\"key2\": 2}, 11], [14]] |\n+-----------------------------------------------+\n\nThis will produce output for first index of eighth from last element of a two\ndimensional array.\n\nNote: In range notation, when M > N ( when M,N are greater than or equal to 0)\nor (size of array - M or size of array - N when M, N are less than 0), then it\nis treated as an impossible range and NULL is returned.\n\nSET @json= \'[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]\';\nSELECT JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$[4 to 2]\');\n+-----------------------------------+\n| JSON_EXTRACT(@json, \'$[4 to 2]\') |\n+-----------------------------------+\n| NULL |\n+-----------------------------------+\n\nWildcard\n--------\n\nThe wildcard step, **, recursively selects all child elements of the current\nelement. Both array elements and object members are selected.\n\nThe wildcard step must not be the last step in the JSONPath expression. It\nmust be followed by an array or object member selector step.\n\nFor example:\n\nselect json_extract(@json_doc, \'$**.price\');\n\nwill select all object members in the document that are named price, while\n\nselect json_extract(@json_doc, \'$**[2]\');\n\nwill select the second element in each of the arrays present in the document.\n\nCompatibility\n-------------\n\nMariaDB\'s JSONPath syntax supports a subset of JSON Path\'s definition in the\nSQL Standard. The most notable things not supported are the strict mode and\nfilters.\n\nMariaDB\'s JSONPath is close to MySQL\'s JSONPath. The wildcard step ( ** ) is a\nnon-standard extension that has the same meaning as in MySQL. The differences\nbetween MariaDB and MySQL\'s JSONPath are: MySQL supports [last] and [M to N]\nas array element selectors; MySQL doesn\'t allow one to specify the mode\nexplicitly (but uses lax mode implicitly).\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/jsonpath-expressions/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/jsonpath-expressions/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (742,40,'JSON_ARRAY','Syntax\n------\n\nJSON_ARRAY([value[, value2] ...])\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns a JSON array containing the listed values.

In the simplest case, it\nis a string literal containing JSON. In more complex cases it can be an\narbitrary expression returning JSON. The expression may have references to\ncolumns of other tables. However, one can only refer to tables that precede\nthis JSON_TABLE invocation. For RIGHT JOIN, it is assumed that its outer side\nprecedes the inner. All tables in outer selects are also considered preceding.\n\ncontext_path is a JSON Path expression pointing to a collection of nodes in\njson_doc that will be used as the source of rows.\n\nThe COLUMNS clause declares the names and types of the columns that JSON_TABLE\nreturns, as well as how the values of the columns are produced.\n\nColumn Definitions\n------------------\n\nThe following types of columns are supported:\n\nPath Columns\n------------\n\nname type PATH path_str [on_empty] [on_error]\n\nLocates the JSON node pointed to by path_str and returns its value.

See the ON EMPTY and ON\nERROR clauses section for details.\n\nORDINALITY Columns\n------------------\n\nname FOR ORDINALITY\n\nCounts the rows, starting from 1.\n\nExample:\n\nset @json=\'\n[\n {\"name\":\"Laptop\", \"color\":\"black\"},\n {\"name\":\"Jeans\", \"color\":\"blue\"}\n]\';\n\nselect * from json_table(@json, \'$[*]\' \n columns(\n id for ordinality,\n name varchar(10) path \'$.name\')\n) as jt;\n+------+--------+\n| id | name |\n+------+--------+\n| 1 | Laptop |\n| 2 | Jeans |\n+------+--------+\n\nEXISTS PATH Columns\n-------------------\n\nname type EXISTS PATH path_str\n\nChecks whether the node pointed to by value_path exists.

For each found node, a row is generated with column values as specified\nby the NESTED PATH\'s COLUMNS clause. If path finds no nodes, only one row is\ngenerated with all columns having NULL values.\n\nFor example, consider a JSON document that contains an array of items, and\neach item, in turn, is expected to have an array of its available sizes:\n\nset @json=\'\n[\n {\"name\":\"Jeans\", \"sizes\": [32, 34, 36]},\n {\"name\":\"T-Shirt\", \"sizes\":[\"Medium\", \"Large\"]},\n {\"name\":\"Cellphone\"}\n]\';\n\nNESTED PATH allows one to produce a separate row for each size each item has:\n\nselect * from json_table(@json, \'$[*]\' \n columns(\n name varchar(10) path \'$.name\',\n nested path \'$.sizes[*]\' columns (\n size varchar(32) path \'$\'\n )\n )\n) as jt;\n+-----------+--------+\n| name | size |\n+-----------+--------+\n| Jeans | 32 |\n| Jeans | 34 |\n| Jeans | 36 |\n| T-Shirt | Medium |\n| T-Shirt | Large |\n| Cellphone | NULL |\n+-----------+--------+\n\nNESTED PATH clauses can be nested within one another. They can also be located\nnext to each other. In that case, the nested path clauses will produce records\none at a time. The ones that are not producing records will have all columns\nset to NULL.\n\nExample:\n\nset @json=\'\n[\n {\"name\":\"Jeans\", \"sizes\": [32, 34, 36], \"colors\":[\"black\", \"blue\"]}\n]\';\n\nselect * from json_table(@json, \'$[*]\' \n columns(\n name varchar(10) path \'$.name\',\n nested path \'$.sizes[*]\' columns (\n size varchar(32) path \'$\'\n ),\n nested path \'$.colors[*]\' columns (\n color varchar(32) path \'$\'\n )\n )\n) as jt;\n\n+-------+------+-------+\n| name | size | color |\n+-------+------+-------+\n| Jeans | 32 | NULL |\n| Jeans | 34 | NULL |\n| Jeans | 36 | NULL |\n| Jeans | NULL | black |\n| Jeans | NULL | blue |\n+-------+------+-------+\n\nON EMPTY and ON ERROR Clauses\n-----------------------------\n\nThe ON EMPTY clause specifies what will be done when the element specified by\nthe search path is missing in the JSON document.\n\non_empty:\n {NULL | DEFAULT string | ERROR} ON EMPTY\n\nWhen ON EMPTY clause is not present, NULL ON EMPTY is implied.\n\non_error:\n {NULL | DEFAULT string | ERROR} ON ERROR\n\nThe ON ERROR clause specifies what should be done if a JSON structure error\noccurs when trying to extract the value pointed to by the path expression. A\nJSON structure error here occurs only when one attempts to convert a JSON\nnon-scalar (array or object) into a scalar value. When the ON ERROR clause is\nnot present, NULL ON ERROR is implied.\n\nNote: A datatype conversion error (e.g. attempt to store a non-integer value\ninto an integer field, or a varchar column being truncated) is not considered\na JSON error and so will not trigger the ON ERROR behavior. It will produce\nwarnings, in the same way as CAST(value AS datatype) would.\n\nReplication\n-----------\n\nIn the current code, evaluation of JSON_TABLE is deterministic, that is, for a\ngiven input string JSON_TABLE will always produce the same set of rows in the\nsame order.

However, unlike aggregate\nfunctions, the output is not grouped into a single row.\n\nNon-aggregate window functions include\n\n* CUME_DIST\n* DENSE_RANK\n* FIRST_VALUE\n* LAG\n* LAST_VALUE\n* LEAD\n* MEDIAN\n* NTH_VALUE\n* NTILE\n* PERCENT_RANK\n* PERCENTILE_CONT\n* PERCENTILE_DISC\n* RANK, ROW_NUMBER\n\nAggregate functions that can also be used as window functions include\n\n* AVG\n* BIT_AND\n* BIT_OR\n* BIT_XOR\n* COUNT\n* MAX\n* MIN\n* STD\n* STDDEV\n* STDDEV_POP\n* STDDEV_SAMP\n* SUM\n* VAR_POP\n* VAR_SAMP\n* VARIANCE\n\nWindow function queries are characterised by the OVER keyword, following which\nthe set of rows used for the calculation is specified. By default, the set of\nrows used for the calculation (the \"window) is the entire dataset, which can\nbe ordered with the ORDER BY clause. The PARTITION BY clause is used to reduce\nthe window to a particular group within the dataset.\n\nFor example, given the following data:\n\nCREATE TABLE student (name CHAR(10), test CHAR(10), score TINYINT);\n\nINSERT INTO student VALUES \n (\'Chun\', \'SQL\', 75), (\'Chun\', \'Tuning\', 73),\n (\'Esben\', \'SQL\', 43), (\'Esben\', \'Tuning\', 31),\n (\'Kaolin\', \'SQL\', 56), (\'Kaolin\', \'Tuning\', 88),\n (\'Tatiana\', \'SQL\', 87), (\'Tatiana\', \'Tuning\', 83);\n\nthe following two queries return the average partitioned by test and by name\nrespectively:\n\nSELECT name, test, score, AVG(score) OVER (PARTITION BY test) \n AS average_by_test FROM student;\n+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+\n| name | test | score | average_by_test |\n+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 65.2500 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 68.7500 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 65.2500 |\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 68.7500 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 65.2500 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 68.7500 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 65.2500 |\n| Tatiana | Tuning | 83 | 68.7500 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+\n\nSELECT name, test, score, AVG(score) OVER (PARTITION BY name) \n AS average_by_name FROM student;\n+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+\n| name | test | score | average_by_name |\n+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 74.0000 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 74.0000 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 37.0000 |\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 37.0000 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 72.0000 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 72.0000 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 85.0000 |\n| Tatiana | Tuning | 83 | 85.0000 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+\n\nIt is also possible to specify which rows to include for the window function\n(for example, the current row and all preceding rows). See Window Frames for\nmore details.\n\nScope\n-----\n\nWindow functions were introduced in SQL:2003, and their definition was\nexpanded in subsequent versions of the standard. The last expansion was in the\nlatest version of the standard, SQL:2011.\n\nMost database products support a subset of the standard, they implement some\nfunctions defined as late as in SQL:2011, and at the same time leave some\nparts of SQL:2008 unimplemented.\n\nMariaDB:\n\n* Supports ROWS and RANGE-type frames\nAll kinds of frame bounds are supported, including RANGE PRECEDING|FOLLOWING n\nframe bounds (unlike PostgreSQL or MS SQL Server)\nDoes not yet support DATE[TIME] datatype and arithmetic for RANGE-type frames\n(MDEV-9727)\n\n* Does not support GROUPS-type frames (it seems that no popular database\nsupports it, either)\n\n* Does not support frame exclusion (no other database seems to support it,\neither) (MDEV-9724)\n* Does not support explicit NULLS FIRST or NULLS LAST.\n* Does not support nested navigation in window functions (this is\nVALUE_OF(expr AT row_marker [, default_value) syntax)\n\n* The following window functions are supported:\n\"Streamable\" window functions: ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK, \nWindow functions that can be streamed once the number of rows in partition is\nknown: PERCENT_RANK, CUME_DIST, NTILE\n\n* Aggregate functions that are currently supported as window functions are:\nCOUNT, SUM, AVG, BIT_OR, BIT_AND, BIT_XOR.\n* Aggregate functions with the DISTINCT specifier (e.g. COUNT( DISTINCT x))\nare not supported as window functions.\n\nLinks\n-----\n\n* MDEV-6115 is the main jira task for window functions development. Other\ntasks are are attached as sub-tasks\n* bb-10.2-mdev9543 is the feature tree for window functions. Development is\nongoing, and this tree has the newest changes.\n* Testcases are in mysql-test/t/win*.test\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nGiven the following sample data:\n\nCREATE TABLE users (\n email VARCHAR(30),\n first_name VARCHAR(30),\n last_name VARCHAR(30),\n account_type VARCHAR(30)\n);\n\nINSERT INTO users VALUES \n (\'admin@boss.org\', \'Admin\', \'Boss\', \'admin\'),\n (\'bob.carlsen@foo.bar\', \'Bob\', \'Carlsen\', \'regular\'),\n (\'eddie.stevens@data.org\', \'Eddie\', \'Stevens\', \'regular\'),\n (\'john.smith@xyz.org\', \'John\', \'Smith\', \'regular\'),\n (\'root@boss.org\', \'Root\', \'Chief\', \'admin\')\n\nFirst, let\'s order the records by email alphabetically, giving each an\nascending rnum value starting with 1.

First, generate a rank for\nall employees, using the RANK function.\n\nselect rank() over (partition by dept order by salary desc) as ranking,\n dept, name, salary\n from employee_salaries\n order by dept, ranking;\n+---------+-------------+--------------+--------+\n| ranking | dept | name | salary |\n+---------+-------------+--------------+--------+\n| 1 | Engineering | Dharma | 3500 |\n| 2 | Engineering | Binh | 3000 |\n| 3 | Engineering | Adalynn | 2800 |\n| 4 | Engineering | Samuel | 2500 |\n| 5 | Engineering | Cveta | 2200 |\n| 6 | Engineering | Ebele | 1800 |\n| 1 | Sales | Carbry | 500 |\n| 2 | Sales | Clytemnestra | 400 |\n| 3 | Sales | Juraj | 300 |\n| 3 | Sales | Kalpana | 300 |\n| 5 | Sales | Svantepolk | 250 |\n| 6 | Sales | Angelo | 200 |\n+---------+-------------+--------------+--------+\n\nEach department has a separate sequence of ranks due to the PARTITION BY\nclause. This particular sequence of values for rank() is given by the ORDER BY\nclause inside the window function’s OVER clause. Finally, to get our results\nin a readable format we order the data by dept and the newly generated ranking\ncolumn.\n\nNow, we need to reduce the results to find only the top 5 per department. Here\nis a common mistake:\n\nselect\nrank() over (partition by dept order by salary desc) as ranking,\ndept, name, salary\nfrom employee_salaries\nwhere ranking <= 5\norder by dept, ranking;\n\nERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column \'ranking\' in \'where clause\'\n\nTrying to filter only the first 5 values per department by putting a where\nclause in the statement does not work, due to the way window functions are\ncomputed. The computation of window functions happens after all WHERE, GROUP\nBY and HAVING clauses have been completed, right before ORDER BY, so the WHERE\nclause has no idea that the ranking column exists.

A window function allows for calculations relating\nto a window of data surrounding the current row in a result set. This\ncapability provides for simplified queries in support of common business\nquestions such as cumulative totals, rolling averages, and top 10 lists.\n\nAggregate functions are utilized for window functions however differ in\nbehavior from a group by query because the rows remain ungrouped. This\nprovides support for cumulative sums and rolling averages, for example.\n\nTwo key concepts for window functions are Partition and Frame:\n\n* A Partition is a group of rows, or window, that have the same value for a\nspecific column, for example a Partition can be created over a time period\nsuch as a quarter or lookup values.\n* The Frame for each row is a subset of the row\'s Partition. The frame\ntypically is dynamic allowing for a sliding frame of rows within the\nPartition. The Frame determines the range of rows for the windowing function.\nA Frame could be defined as the last X rows and next Y rows all the way up to\nthe entire Partition.\n\nWindow functions are applied after joins, group by, and having clauses are\ncalculated.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nA window function is applied in the select clause using the following syntax:\n\nfunction_name ([expression [, expression ... ]]) OVER ( window_definition )\n\nwhere window_definition is defined as:\n\n[ PARTITION BY expression [, ...] ]\n[ ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC ] [ NULLS { FIRST | LAST } ] [, ...] ]\n[ frame_clause ]\n\nPARTITION BY:\n\n* Divides the window result set into groups based on one or more expressions.\n* An expression may be a constant, column, and non window function expressions.\n* A query is not limited to a single partition by clause. Different partition\nclauses can be used across different window function applications.\n* The partition by columns do not need to be in the select list but do need to\nbe available from the query result set.\n* If there is no PARTITION BY clause, all rows of the result set define the\ngroup.\n\nORDER BY\n\n* Defines the ordering of values within the partition.\n* Can be ordered by multiple keys which may be a constant, column or non\nwindow function expression.\n* The order by columns do not need to be in the select list but need to be\navailable from the query result set.\n* Use of a select column alias from the query is not supported.\n* ASC (default) and DESC options allow for ordering ascending or descending.\n* NULLS FIRST and NULL_LAST options specify whether null values come first or\nlast in the ordering sequence. NULLS_FIRST is the default for ASC order, and\nNULLS_LAST is the default for DESC order.\n\nand the optional frame_clause is defined as:\n\n{ RANGE | ROWS } frame_start\n{ RANGE | ROWS } BETWEEN frame_start AND frame_end\n\nand the optional frame_start and frame_end are defined as (value being a\nnumeric expression):\n\nUNBOUNDED PRECEDING\nvalue PRECEDING\nCURRENT ROW\nvalue FOLLOWING\nUNBOUNDED FOLLOWING\n\nRANGE/ROWS:\n\n* Defines the windowing clause for calculating the set of rows that the\nfunction applies to for calculating a given rows window function result.\n* Requires an ORDER BY clause to define the row order for the window.\n* ROWS specify the window in physical units, i.e. result set rows and must be\na constant or expression evaluating to a positive numeric value.\n* RANGE specifies the window as a logical offset. If the the expression\nevaluates to a numeric value then the ORDER BY expression must be a numeric or\nDATE type. If the expression evaluates to an interval value then the ORDER BY\nexpression must be a DATE data type.\n* UNBOUNDED PRECEDING indicates the window starts at the first row of the\npartition.\n* UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING indicates the window ends at the last row of the\npartition.\n* CURRENT ROW specifies the window start or ends at the current row or value.\n* If omitted, the default is ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW.\n\nSupported Functions\n-------------------\n\n+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+\n| Function | Description |\n+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+\n| AVG() | The average of all input values. |\n+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+\n| COUNT() | Number of input rows. |\n+--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+\n| CUME_DIST() | Calculates the cumulative distribution, |\n| | or relative rank, of the current row to |\n| | other rows in the same partition.

Using the Rank() function will result\nin the same value for ties / equal values and the next rank value skipped. The\nDense_Rank() function behaves similarly except the next consecutive number is\nused after a tie rather than skipped. The Row_Number() function will provide a\nunique ordering value. The example query shows the Rank() function being\napplied to rank sales reps by the number of opportunities for Q4 2016.\n\nselect owner, \nwonCount, \nrank() over (order by wonCount desc) rank \nfrom (\n select owner,\n count(*) wonCount\n from opportunities\n where stageName=\'ClosedWon\'\n and closeDate >= \'2016-10-01\' and closeDate < \'2016-12-31\'\n group by owner\n) t\norder by rank;\n\nwith example results (note the query is technically incorrect by using\ncloseDate < \'2016-12-31\' however this creates a tie scenario for illustrative\npurposes):\n\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n| owner | wonCount | rank |\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n| Bill | 19 | 1 |\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n| Chris | 15 | 2 |') WHERE help_topic_id = 786; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n| Maria | 14 | 3 |\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n| Bob | 14 | 3 |\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n| Olivier | 10 | 5 |\n+----------------------+----------------------------------+------------------+\n\nIf the dense_rank function is used the rank values would be 1,2,3,3,4 and for\nthe row_number function the values would be 1,2,3,4,5.\n\nFirst and Last Values\n---------------------\n\nThe first_value and last_value functions allow determining the first and last\nvalues of a given range. Combined with a group by this allows summarizing\nopening and closing values. The example shows a more complex case where\ndetailed information is presented for first and last opportunity by quarter.\n\nselect a.year, \na.quarter, \nf.accountName firstAccountName, \nf.owner firstOwner, \nf.amount firstAmount, \nl.accountName lastAccountName, \nl.owner lastOwner, \nl.amount lastAmount \nfrom (\n select year,\n quarter,\n min(firstId) firstId,\n min(lastId) lastId\n from (\n select year(closeDate) year,\n quarter(closeDate) quarter,\n first_value(id) over (partition by year(closeDate), quarter(closeDate)\norder by closeDate rows between unbounded preceding and current row) firstId, \n last_value(id) over (partition by year(closeDate), quarter(closeDate)\norder by closeDate rows between current row and unbounded following) lastId \n from opportunities where stageName=\'ClosedWon\'\n ) t\n group by year, quarter order by year,quarter\n) a \njoin opportunities f on a.firstId = f.id \njoin opportunities l on a.lastId = l.id \norder by year, quarter;\n\nwith example results:\n\n+----+------+------------+--------+---------+-----------+-------+--------+\n| ye | quar | firstAccou | firstO | firstAm | lastAccou | lastO | lastAm |\n| r | er | tName | ner | unt | tName | ner | unt |\n+----+------+------------+--------+---------+-----------+-------+--------+\n| 20 | 3 | Skidoo | Bill | 523295. | Skipstorm | Bill | 151420 |\n| 6 | | | | 7 | | | 86 |\n+----+------+------------+--------+---------+-----------+-------+--------+\n| 20 | 4 | Skimia | Chris | 961513. | Avamm | Maria | 112493 |\n| 6 | | | | 9 | | | 65 |\n+----+------+------------+--------+---------+-----------+-------+--------+\n| 20 | 1 | Yombu | Bob | 536875. | Skaboo | Chris | 270273 |\n| 7 | | | | 1 | | | 08 |\n+----+------+------------+--------+---------+-----------+-------+--------+\n\nPrior and Next Example\n----------------------\n\nSometimes it useful to understand the previous and next values in the context\nof a given row. The lag and lead window functions provide this capability. By\ndefault the offset is one providing the prior or next value but can also be\nprovided to get a larger offset. The example query is a report of\nopportunities by account name showing the opportunity amount, and the prior\nand next opportunity amount for that account by close date.\n\nselect accountName, \ncloseDate, \namount currentOppAmount, \nlag(amount) over (partition by accountName order by closeDate) priorAmount,\nlead(amount) over (partition by accountName order by closeDate) nextAmount \nfrom opportunities \norder by accountName, closeDate \nlimit 9;\n\nwith example results:\n\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| accountName | closeDate | currentOppAmount | priorAmount | nextAmount |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Abata | 2016-09-1 | 645098.45 | NULL | 161086.82 |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Abata | 2016-10-1 | 161086.82 | 645098.45 | 350235.75 |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Abata | 2016-12-1 | 350235.75 | 161086.82 | 878595.89 |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Abata | 2016-12-3 | 878595.89 | 350235.75 | 922322.39 |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Abata | 2017-01-2 | 922322.39 | 878595.89 | NULL |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Abatz | 2016-10-1 | 795424.15 | NULL | NULL |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Agimba | 2016-07-0 | 288974.84 | NULL | 914461.49 |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Agimba | 2016-09-0 | 914461.49 | 288974.84 | 176645.52 |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n| Agimba | 2016-09-2 | 176645.52 | 914461.49 | NULL |\n| | | | | |\n+--------------+-----------+-------------------+--------------+-------------+\n\nQuartiles Example\n-----------------\n\nThe NTile window function allows for breaking up a data set into portions\nassigned a numeric value to each portion of the range. NTile(4) breaks the\ndata up into quartiles (4 sets). The example query produces a report of all\nopportunities summarizing the quartile boundaries of amount values.\n\nselect t.quartile, \nmin(t.amount) min, \nmax(t.amount) max \nfrom (\n select amount,\n ntile(4) over (order by amount asc) quartile\n from opportunities\n where closeDate >= \'2016-10-01\' and closeDate <= \'2016-12-31\'\n ) t\ngroup by quartile \norder by quartile;\n\nWith example results:\n\n+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+\n| quartile | min | max |\n+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+\n| 1 | 6337.15 | 287634.01 |\n+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+\n| 2 | 288796.14 | 539977.45 |\n+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+\n| 3 | 540070.04 | 748727.51 |\n+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+\n| 4 | 753670.77 | 998864.47 |\n+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+\n\nPercentile Example\n------------------\n\nThe percentile functions have a slightly different syntax from other window\nfunctions as can be seen in the example below. These functions can be only\napplied against numeric values. The argument to the function is the percentile\nto evaluate. Following \'within group\' is the sort expression which indicates\nthe sort column and optionally order. Finally after \'over\' is an optional\npartition by clause, for no partition clause use \'over ()\'.

Window frames expand this functionality by allowing the function to\ninclude a specified a number of rows around the current row.\n\nThese include:\n\n* All rows before the current row (UNBOUNDED PRECEDING), for example RANGE\nBETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW\n* All rows after the current row (UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING), for example RANGE\nBETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING\n* A set number of rows before the current row (expr PRECEDING) for example\nRANGE BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW\n* A set number of rows after the current row (expr PRECEDING AND expr\nFOLLOWING) for example RANGE BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND 2 FOLLOWING\n* A specified number of rows both before and after the current row, for\nexample RANGE BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND 3 FOLLOWING\n\nThe following functions operate on window frames:\n\n* AVG\n* BIT_AND\n* BIT_OR\n* BIT_XOR\n* COUNT\n* LEAD\n* MAX\n* MIN\n* NTILE\n* STD\n* STDDEV\n* STDDEV_POP\n* STDDEV_SAMP\n* SUM\n* VAR_POP\n* VAR_SAMP\n* VARIANCE\n\nWindow frames are determined by the frame_clause in the window function\nrequest.\n\nTake the following example:\n\nCREATE TABLE `student_test` (\n name char(10),\n test char(10),\n score tinyint(4)\n);\n\nINSERT INTO student_test VALUES \n (\'Chun\', \'SQL\', 75), (\'Chun\', \'Tuning\', 73),\n (\'Esben\', \'SQL\', 43), (\'Esben\', \'Tuning\', 31),\n (\'Kaolin\', \'SQL\', 56), (\'Kaolin\', \'Tuning\', 88),\n (\'Tatiana\', \'SQL\', 87);\n\nSELECT name, test, score, SUM(score) \n OVER () AS total_score\n FROM student_test;\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| name | test | score | total_score |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 453 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 453 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 453 |\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 453 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 453 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 453 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 453 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n\nBy not specifying an OVER clause, the SUM function is run over the entire\ndataset. However, if we specify an ORDER BY condition based on score (and\norder the entire result in the same way for clarity), the following result is\nreturned:\n\nSELECT name, test, score, SUM(score) \n OVER (ORDER BY score) AS total_score\n FROM student_test ORDER BY score;\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| name | test | score | total_score |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 31 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 74 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 130 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 203 |\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 278 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 365 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 453 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n\nThe total_score column represents a running total of the current row, and all\nprevious rows. The window frame in this example expands as the function\nproceeds.\n\nThe above query makes use of the default to define the window frame. It could\nbe written explicitly as follows:\n\nSELECT name, test, score, SUM(score) \n OVER (ORDER BY score RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS\ntotal_score \n FROM student_test ORDER BY score;\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| name | test | score | total_score |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 31 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 74 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 130 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 203 |\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 278 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 365 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 453 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n\nLet\'s look at some alternatives:\n\nFirstly, applying the window function to the current row and all following\nrows can be done with the use of UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING:\n\nSELECT name, test, score, SUM(score) \n OVER (ORDER BY score RANGE BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING) AS\ntotal_score \n FROM student_test ORDER BY score;\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| name | test | score | total_score |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 453 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 422 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 379 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 323 |\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 250 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 175 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 88 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n\nIt\'s possible to specify a number of rows, rather than the entire unbounded\nfollowing or preceding set. The following example takes the current row, as\nwell as the previous row:\n\nSELECT name, test, score, SUM(score) \n OVER (ORDER BY score ROWS BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS\ntotal_score \n FROM student_test ORDER BY score;\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| name | test | score | total_score |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 31 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 74 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 99 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 129 |\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 148 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 162 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 175 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n\nThe current row and the following row:\n\nSELECT name, test, score, SUM(score) \n OVER (ORDER BY score ROWS BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1 FOLLOWING) AS\ntotal_score \n FROM student_test ORDER BY score;\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| name | test | score | total_score |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 74 |\n| Esben | SQL | 43 | 130 |\n| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 172 |\n| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 204 |\n| Chun | SQL | 75 | 235 |\n| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 250 |\n| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 175 |\n+---------+--------+-------+-------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/window-frames/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/window-frames/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (788,42,'SPIDER_BG_DIRECT_SQL','Syntax\n------\n\nSPIDER_BG_DIRECT_SQL(\'sql\', \'tmp_table_list\', \'parameters\')\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nExecutes the given SQL statement in the background on the remote server, as\ndefined in the parameters listing.

Functions like\nCOLUMN_CREATE, COLUMN_ADD, COLUMN_DELETE always return valid dynamic column\nblobs. However, if a dynamic column blob is accidentally truncated, or\ntranscoded from one character set to another, it will be corrupted. This\nfunction can be used to check if a value in a blob field is a valid dynamic\ncolumn blob.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/column_check/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/column_check/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (794,43,'COLUMN_CREATE','Syntax\n------\n\nCOLUMN_CREATE(column_nr, value [as type], [column_nr, value [as type]]...);\nCOLUMN_CREATE(column_name, value [as type], [column_name, value [as type]]...);\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns a dynamic columns blob that stores the specified columns with values.\n\nThe return value is suitable for\n\n* storing in a table\n* further modification with other dynamic columns functions\n\nThe as type part allows one to specify the value type. In most cases, this is\nredundant because MariaDB will be able to deduce the type of the value.\nExplicit type specification may be needed when the type of the value is not\napparent. For example, a literal \'2012-12-01\' has a CHAR type by default, one\nwill need to specify \'2012-12-01\' AS DATE to have it stored as a date.

If no column with the given\nname exists, NULL will be returned.\n\ncolumn_name as type requires that one specify the datatype of the dynamic\ncolumn they are reading.\n\nThis may seem counter-intuitive: why would one need to specify which datatype\nthey\'re retrieving? Can\'t the dynamic columns system figure the datatype from\nthe data being stored?\n\nThe answer is: SQL is a statically-typed language. The SQL interpreter needs\nto know the datatypes of all expressions before the query is run (for example,\nwhen one is using prepared statements and runs \"select COLUMN_GET(...)\", the\nprepared statement API requires the server to inform the client about the\ndatatype of the column being read before the query is executed and the server\ncan see what datatype the column actually has).\n\nLengths\n-------\n\nIf you\'re running queries like:\n\nSELECT COLUMN_GET(blob, \'colname\' as CHAR) ...\n\nwithout specifying a maximum length (i.e. using as CHAR, not as CHAR(n)),\nMariaDB will report the maximum length of the resultset column to be\n16,777,216. This may cause excessive memory usage in some client libraries,\nbecause they try to pre-allocate a buffer of maximum resultset width. To avoid\nthis problem, use CHAR(n) whenever you\'re using COLUMN_GET in the select list.\n\nSee Dynamic Columns:Datatypes for more information about datatypes.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/column_get/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/column_get/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (798,43,'COLUMN_JSON','Syntax\n------\n\nCOLUMN_JSON(dyncol_blob)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns a JSON representation of data in dyncol_blob.

The current timestamp can be adjusted by\nsetting the timestamp system variable, for example:\n\nSELECT NOW();\n+---------------------+\n| NOW() |\n+---------------------+\n| 2022-10-24 23:09:38 |\n+---------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES(1);\n\nSET @@timestamp = UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2033-10-24\');\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES(2);\n\nSET @@timestamp = default;\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES(3);\n\nSELECT a,row_start,row_end FROM t;\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n| a | row_start | row_end |\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n| 1 | 2022-10-24 23:09:38.951347 | 2038-01-19 05:14:07.999999 |\n| 2 | 2033-10-24 00:00:00.000000 | 2038-01-19 05:14:07.999999 |\n| 3 | 2022-10-24 23:09:38.961857 | 2038-01-19 05:14:07.999999 |\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n\nQuerying Historical Data\n------------------------\n\nSELECT\n------\n\nTo query the historical data one uses the clause FOR SYSTEM_TIME directly\nafter the table name (before the table alias, if any). SQL:2011 provides three\nsyntactic extensions:\n\n* AS OF is used to see the table as it was at a specific point in time in the\npast:\n\nSELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF TIMESTAMP\'2016-10-09 08:07:06\';\n\n* BETWEEN start AND end will show all rows that were visible at any point\nbetween two specified points in time. It works inclusively, a row visible\nexactly at start or exactly at end will be shown too.\n\nSELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME BETWEEN (NOW() - INTERVAL 1 YEAR) AND NOW();\n\n* FROM start TO end will also show all rows that were visible at any point\nbetween two specified points in time, including start, but excluding end.\n\nSELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME FROM \'2016-01-01 00:00:00\' TO \'2017-01-01\n00:00:00\';\n\nAdditionally MariaDB implements a non-standard extension:\n\n* ALL will show all rows, historical and current.\n\nSELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME ALL;\n\nIf the FOR SYSTEM_TIME clause is not used, the table will show the current\ndata. This is usually the same as if one had specified FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF\nCURRENT_TIMESTAMP, unless one has adjusted the row_start value (until MariaDB\n10.11, only possible by setting the secure_timestamp variable). For example:\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t (a int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING;\n\nSELECT NOW();\n+---------------------+\n| NOW() |\n+---------------------+\n| 2022-10-24 23:43:37 |\n+---------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (1);\n\nSET @@timestamp = UNIX_TIMESTAMP(\'2033-03-03\');\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (2);\n\nDELETE FROM t;\n\nSET @@timestamp = default;\n\nSELECT a, row_start, row_end FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME ALL;\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n| a | row_start | row_end |\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n| 1 | 2022-10-24 23:43:37.192725 | 2033-03-03 00:00:00.000000 |\n| 2 | 2033-03-03 00:00:00.000000 | 2033-03-03 00:00:00.000000 |\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n2 rows in set (0.000 sec)\n\nSELECT a, row_start, row_end FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n| a | row_start | row_end |\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n| 1 | 2022-10-24 23:43:37.192725 | 2033-03-03 00:00:00.000000 |\n+------+----------------------------+----------------------------+\n1 row in set (0.000 sec)\n\nSELECT a, row_start, row_end FROM t;\nEmpty set (0.001 sec)\n\nViews and Subqueries\n--------------------\n\nWhen a system-versioned tables is used in a view or in a subquery in the from\nclause, FOR SYSTEM_TIME can be used directly in the view or subquery body, or\n(non-standard) applied to the whole view when it\'s being used in a SELECT:\n\nCREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF TIMESTAMP\'2016-10-09\n08:07:06\';\n\nOr\n\nCREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT * FROM t;\nSELECT * FROM v1 FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF TIMESTAMP\'2016-10-09 08:07:06\';\n\nUse in Replication and Binary Logs\n----------------------------------\n\nTables that use system-versioning implicitly add the row_end column to the\nPrimary Key. While this is generally not an issue for most use cases, it can\nlead to problems when re-applying write statements from the binary log or in\nreplication environments, where a primary retries an SQL statement on the\nreplica.\n\nSpecifically, these writes include a value on the row_end column containing\nthe timestamp from when the write was initially made. The re-occurrence of the\nPrimary Key with the old system-versioning columns raises an error due to the\nduplication.\n\nTo mitigate this with MariaDB Replication, set the secure_timestamp system\nvariable to YES on the replica. When set, the replica uses its own system\nclock when applying to the row log, meaning that the primary can retry as many\ntimes as needed without causing a conflict. The retries generate new\nhistorical rows with new values for the row_start and row_end columns.\n\nTransaction-Precise History in InnoDB\n-------------------------------------\n\nA point in time when a row was inserted or deleted does not necessarily mean\nthat a change became visible at the same moment. With transactional tables, a\nrow might have been inserted in a long transaction, and became visible hours\nafter it was inserted.\n\nFor some applications — for example, when doing data analytics on one-year-old\ndata — this distinction does not matter much. For others — forensic analysis —\nit might be crucial.\n\nMariaDB supports transaction-precise history (only for the InnoDB storage\nengine) that allows seeing the data exactly as it would\'ve been seen by a new\nconnection doing a SELECT at the specified point in time — rows inserted\nbefore that point, but committed after will not be shown.\n\nTo use transaction-precise history, InnoDB needs to remember not timestamps,\nbut transaction identifier per row. This is done by creating generated columns\nas BIGINT UNSIGNED, not TIMESTAMP(6):\n\nCREATE TABLE t(\n x INT,\n start_trxid BIGINT UNSIGNED GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START,\n end_trxid BIGINT UNSIGNED GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW END,\n PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME(start_trxid, end_trxid)\n) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING;\n\nThese columns must be specified explicitly, but they can be made INVISIBLE to\navoid cluttering SELECT * output.\n\nWhen one uses transaction-precise history, one can optionally use transaction\nidentifiers in the FOR SYSTEM_TIME clause:\n\nSELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF TRANSACTION 12345;\n\nThis will show the data, exactly as it was seen by the transaction with the\nidentifier 12345.\n\nStoring the History Separately\n------------------------------\n\nWhen the history is stored together with the current data, it increases the\nsize of the table, so current data queries — table scans and index searches —\nwill take more time, because they will need to skip over historical data. If\nmost queries on that table use only current data, it might make sense to store\nthe history separately, to reduce the overhead from versioning.\n\nThis is done by partitioning the table by SYSTEM_TIME. Because of the\npartition pruning optimization, all current data queries will only access one\npartition, the one that stores current data.\n\nThis example shows how to create such a partitioned table:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME (\n PARTITION p_hist HISTORY,\n PARTITION p_cur CURRENT\n );\n\nIn this example all history will be stored in the partition p_hist while all\ncurrent data will be in the partition p_cur. The table must have exactly one\ncurrent partition and at least one historical partition.\n\nPartitioning by SYSTEM_TIME also supports automatic partition rotation. One\ncan rotate historical partitions by time or by size. This example shows how to\nrotate partitions by size:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME LIMIT 100000 (\n PARTITION p0 HISTORY,\n PARTITION p1 HISTORY,\n PARTITION pcur CURRENT\n );\n\nMariaDB will start writing history rows into partition p0, and when it reaches\na size of 100000 rows, MariaDB will switch to partition p1. There are only two\nhistorical partitions, so when p1 overflows, MariaDB will issue a warning, but\nwill continue writing into it.\n\nSimilarly, one can rotate partitions by time:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 WEEK (\n PARTITION p0 HISTORY,\n PARTITION p1 HISTORY,\n PARTITION p2 HISTORY,\n PARTITION pcur CURRENT\n );\n\nThis means that the history for the first week after the table was created\nwill be stored in p0. The history for the second week — in p1, and all later\nhistory will go into p2. One can see the exact rotation time for each\npartition in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS table.\n\nIt is possible to combine partitioning by SYSTEM_TIME and subpartitions:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME\n SUBPARTITION BY KEY (x)\n SUBPARTITIONS 4 (\n PARTITION ph HISTORY,\n PARTITION pc CURRENT\n );\n\nDefault Partitions\n------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.5.0\n----------------------------\nSince partitioning by current and historical data is such a typical usecase,\nfrom MariaDB 10.5, it is possible to use a simplified statement to do so. For\nexample, instead of\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING \n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME (\n PARTITION p0 HISTORY,\n PARTITION pn CURRENT\n);\n\nyou can use\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING \n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME;\n\nYou can also specify the number of partitions, which is useful if you want to\nrotate history by time, for example:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING \n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME\n INTERVAL 1 MONTH\n PARTITIONS 12;\n\nSpecifying the number of partitions without specifying a rotation condition\nwill result in a warning:\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME PARTITIONS 12;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.518 sec)\n\nWarning (Code 4115): Maybe missing parameters: no rotation condition for\nmultiple HISTORY partitions.\n\nwhile specifying only 1 partition will result in an error:\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t (x INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME PARTITIONS 1;\nERROR 4128 (HY000): Wrong partitions for `t`: must have at least one HISTORY\nand exactly one last CURRENT\n\nAutomatically Creating Partitions\n---------------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.9.1\n----------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.9.1, the AUTO keyword can be used to automatically create\nhistory partitions.\n\nFor example\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;\n','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/system-versioned-tables/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nCREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 MONTH\n STARTS \'2021-01-01 00:00:00\' AUTO PARTITIONS 12;\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME LIMIT 1000 AUTO;\n\nOr with explicit partitions:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO\n (PARTITION p0 HISTORY, PARTITION pn CURRENT);\n\nTo disable or enable auto-creation one can use ALTER TABLE by adding or\nremoving AUTO from the partitioning specification:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING\n PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;\n\n# Disables auto-creation:\nALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR;\n\n# Enables auto-creation:\nALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;\n\nIf the rest of the partitioning specification is identical to CREATE TABLE, no\nrepartitioning will be done (for details see MDEV-27328).\n\nRemoving Old History\n--------------------\n\nBecause it stores all the history, a system-versioned table might grow very\nlarge over time. There are many options to trim down the space and remove the\nold history.\n\nOne can completely drop the versioning from the table and add it back again,\nthis will delete all the history:\n\nALTER TABLE t DROP SYSTEM VERSIONING;\nALTER TABLE t ADD SYSTEM VERSIONING;\n\nIt might be a rather time-consuming operation, though, as the table will need\nto be rebuilt, possibly twice (depending on the storage engine).\n\nAnother option would be to use partitioning and drop some of historical\npartitions:\n\nALTER TABLE t DROP PARTITION p0;\n\nNote, that one cannot drop a current partition or the only historical\npartition.\n\nAnd the third option; one can use a variant of the DELETE statement to prune\nthe history:\n\nDELETE HISTORY FROM t;\n\nor only old history up to a specific point in time:\n\nDELETE HISTORY FROM t BEFORE SYSTEM_TIME \'2016-10-09 08:07:06\';\n\nor to a specific transaction (with BEFORE SYSTEM_TIME TRANSACTION xxx).\n\nTo protect the integrity of the history, this statement requires a special\nDELETE HISTORY privilege.\n\nCurrently, using the DELETE HISTORY statement with a BEFORE SYSTEM_TIME\ngreater than the ROW_END of the active records (as a TIMESTAMP, this has a\nmaximum value of \'2038-01-19 03:14:07\' UTC) will result in the historical\nrecords being dropped, and the active records being deleted and moved to\nhistory. See MDEV-25468.\n\nPrior to MariaDB 10.4.5, the TRUNCATE TABLE statement drops all historical\nrecords from a system-versioned-table.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.4.5, historic data is protected from TRUNCATE statements, as\nper the SQL standard, and an Error 4137 is instead raised:\n\nTRUNCATE t;\nERROR 4137 (HY000): System-versioned tables do not support TRUNCATE TABLE\n\nExcluding Columns From Versioning\n---------------------------------\n\nAnother MariaDB extension allows to version only a subset of columns in a\ntable. This is useful, for example, if you have a table with user information\nthat should be versioned, but one column is, let\'s say, a login counter that\nis incremented often and is not interesting to version. Such a column can be\nexcluded from versioning by declaring it WITHOUT VERSIONING\n\nCREATE TABLE t (\n x INT,\n y INT WITHOUT SYSTEM VERSIONING\n) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING;\n\nA column can also be declared WITH VERSIONING, that will automatically make\nthe table versioned. The statement below is equivalent to the one above:\n\nCREATE TABLE t (\n x INT WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING,\n y INT\n);\n\nChanges in other sections: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-table/\nhttps://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-table/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/join-syntax/\nhttps://mariadb.com/kb/en/partitioning-types-overview/\nhttps://mariadb.com/kb/en/date-and-time-units/\nhttps://mariadb.com/kb/en/delete/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/grant/\n\nthey all reference back to this page\n\nAlso, TODO:\n\n* limitations (size, speed, adding history to unique not nullable columns)\n\nSystem Variables\n----------------\n\nThere are a number of system variables related to system-versioned tables:\n\nsystem_versioning_alter_history\n-------------------------------\n\n* Description: SQL:2011 does not allow ALTER TABLE on system-versioned tables.\nWhen this variable is set to ERROR, an attempt to alter a system-versioned\ntable will result in an error. When this variable is set to KEEP, ALTER TABLE\nwill be allowed, but the history will become incorrect — querying historical\ndata will show the new table structure. This mode is still useful, for\nexample, when adding new columns to a table. Note that if historical data\ncontains or would contain nulls, attempting to ALTER these columns to be NOT\nNULL will return an error (or warning if strict_mode is not set).\n* Commandline: --system-versioning-alter-history=value\n* Scope: Global, Session\n* Dynamic: Yes\n* Type: Enum\n* Default Value: ERROR\n* Valid Values: ERROR, KEEP\n\nsystem_versioning_asof\n----------------------\n\n* Description: If set to a specific timestamp value, an implicit FOR\nSYSTEM_TIME AS OF clause will be applied to all queries. This is useful if one\nwants to do many queries for history at the specific point in time. Set it to\nDEFAULT to restore the default behavior. Has no effect on DML, so queries such\nas INSERT ..

Also, a\nrestore of the timestamps would not be possible as they cannot be defined by\nan insert/a user. From MariaDB 10.11, use the -H or --dump-history options to\ninclude the history.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/system-versioned-tables/') WHERE help_topic_id = 803; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (804,45,'Application-Time Periods','MariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nSupport for application-time period-versioning was added in MariaDB 10.4.3.\n\nExtending system-versioned tables, MariaDB 10.4 supports application-time\nperiod tables. Time periods are defined by a range between two temporal\ncolumns. The columns must be of the same temporal data type, i.e. DATE,\nTIMESTAMP or DATETIME (TIME and YEAR are not supported), and of the same width.\n\nUsing time periods implicitly defines the two columns as NOT NULL. It also\nadds a constraint to check whether the first value is less than the second\nvalue. The constraint is invisible to SHOW CREATE TABLE statements. The name\nof this constraint is prefixed by the time period name, to avoid conflict with\nother constraints.\n\nCreating Tables with Time Periods\n---------------------------------\n\nTo create a table with a time period, use a CREATE TABLE statement with the\nPERIOD table option.\n\nCREATE TABLE t1(\n name VARCHAR(50),\n date_1 DATE,\n date_2 DATE,\n PERIOD FOR date_period(date_1, date_2));\n\nThis creates a table with a time_period period and populates the table with\nsome basic temporal values.\n\nExamples are available in the MariaDB Server source code, at\nmysql-test/suite/period/r/create.result.\n\nAdding and Removing Time Periods\n--------------------------------\n\nThe ALTER TABLE statement now supports syntax for adding and removing time\nperiods from a table. To add a period, use the ADD PERIOD clause.\n\nFor example:\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE TABLE rooms (\n room_number INT,\n guest_name VARCHAR(255),\n checkin DATE,\n checkout DATE\n );\n\nALTER TABLE rooms ADD PERIOD FOR p(checkin,checkout);\n\nTo remove a period, use the DROP PERIOD clause:\n\nALTER TABLE rooms DROP PERIOD FOR p;\n\nBoth ADD PERIOD and DROP PERIOD clauses include an option to handle whether\nthe period already exists:\n\nALTER TABLE rooms ADD PERIOD IF NOT EXISTS FOR p(checkin,checkout);\n\nALTER TABLE rooms DROP PERIOD IF EXISTS FOR p;\n\nDeletion by Portion\n-------------------\n\nYou can also remove rows that fall within certain time periods.\n\nWhen MariaDB executes a DELETE FOR PORTION statement, it removes the row:\n\n* When the row period falls completely within the delete period, it removes\nthe row.\n* When the row period overlaps the delete period, it shrinks the row, removing\nthe overlap from the first or second row period value.\n* When the delete period falls completely within the row period, it splits the\nrow into two rows. The first row runs from the starting row period to the\nstarting delete period. The second runs from the ending delete period to the\nending row period.\n\nTo test this, first populate the table with some data to operate on:\n\nCREATE TABLE t1(\n name VARCHAR(50),\n date_1 DATE,\n date_2 DATE,\n PERIOD FOR date_period(date_1, date_2));\n\nINSERT INTO t1 (name, date_1, date_2) VALUES\n (\'a\', \'1999-01-01\', \'2000-01-01\'),\n (\'b\', \'1999-01-01\', \'2018-12-12\'),\n (\'c\', \'1999-01-01\', \'2017-01-01\'),\n (\'d\', \'2017-01-01\', \'2019-01-01\');\n\nSELECT * FROM t1;\n+------+------------+------------+\n| name | date_1 | date_2 |\n+------+------------+------------+\n| a | 1999-01-01 | 2000-01-01 |\n| b | 1999-01-01 | 2018-12-12 |\n| c | 1999-01-01 | 2017-01-01 |\n| d | 2017-01-01 | 2019-01-01 |\n+------+------------+------------+\n\nThen, run the DELETE FOR PORTION statement:\n\nDELETE FROM t1\nFOR PORTION OF date_period\n FROM \'2001-01-01\' TO \'2018-01-01\';\nQuery OK, 3 rows affected (0.028 sec)\n\nSELECT * FROM t1 ORDER BY name;\n+------+------------+------------+\n| name | date_1 | date_2 |\n+------+------------+------------+\n| a | 1999-01-01 | 2000-01-01 |\n| b | 1999-01-01 | 2001-01-01 |\n| b | 2018-01-01 | 2018-12-12 |\n| c | 1999-01-01 | 2001-01-01 |\n| d | 2018-01-01 | 2019-01-01 |\n+------+------------+------------+\n\nHere:\n\n* a is unchanged, as the range falls entirely out of the specified portion to\nbe deleted.\n* b, with values ranging from 1999 to 2018, is split into two rows, 1999 to\n2000 and 2018-01 to 2018-12.\n* c, with values ranging from 1999 to 2017, where only the upper value falls\nwithin the portion to be deleted, has been shrunk to 1999 to 2001.\n* d, with values ranging from 2017 to 2019, where only the lower value falls\nwithin the portion to be deleted, has been shrunk to 2018 to 2019.\n\nThe DELETE FOR PORTION statement has the following restrictions\n\n* The FROM...TO clause must be constant\n* Multi-delete is not supported\n\nIf there are DELETE or INSERT triggers, it works as follows: any matched row\nis deleted, and then one or two rows are inserted.

The\neffective maximum length of the string depends on how many bytes are used per\ncharacter and can be up to 96 characters.\n\nDue to MDEV-29994, the password can be silently truncated to 41 characters\nwhen MariaDB is restarted. For this reason it is recommended to use a password\nthat is shorter than this.\n\nMASTER_HOST\n-----------\n\nThe MASTER_HOST option for CHANGE MASTER defines the hostname or IP address of\nthe primary.\n\nIf you set the value of the MASTER_HOST option to the empty string, then that\nis not the same as not setting the option\'s value at all. If you set the value\nof the MASTER_HOST option to the empty string, then the CHANGE MASTER command\nwill fail with an error. In MariaDB 5.3 and before, if you set the value of\nthe MASTER_HOST option to the empty string, then the CHANGE MASTER command\nwould succeed, but the subsequent START SLAVE command would fail.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_HOST=\'dbserver1.example.com\',\n MASTER_USER=\'repl\',\n MASTER_PASSWORD=\'new3cret\',\n MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nIf you set the value of the MASTER_HOST option in a CHANGE MASTER command,\nthen the replica assumes that the primary is different from before, even if\nyou set the value of this option to the same value it had previously. In this\nscenario, the replica will consider the old values for the primary\'s binary\nlog file name and position to be invalid for the new primary. As a side\neffect, if you do not explicitly set the values of the MASTER_LOG_FILE and\nMASTER_LOG_POS options in the statement, then the statement will be implicitly\nappended with MASTER_LOG_FILE=\'\' and MASTER_LOG_POS=4. However, if you enable\nGTID mode for replication by setting the MASTER_USE_GTID option to some value\nother than no in the statement, then these values will effectively be ignored\nanyway.\n\nReplicas cannot connect to primaries using Unix socket files or Windows named\npipes. The replica must connect to the primary using TCP/IP.\n\nThe maximum length of the MASTER_HOST string is 60 characters until MariaDB\n10.5, and 255 characters from MariaDB 10.6.\n\nMASTER_PORT\n-----------\n\nThe MASTER_PORT option for CHANGE MASTER defines the TCP/IP port of the\nprimary.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_HOST=\'dbserver1.example.com\',\n MASTER_PORT=3307,\n MASTER_USER=\'repl\',\n MASTER_PASSWORD=\'new3cret\',\n MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nIf you set the value of the MASTER_PORT option in a CHANGE MASTER command,\nthen the replica assumes that the primary is different from before, even if\nyou set the value of this option to the same value it had previously. In this\nscenario, the replica will consider the old values for the primary\'s binary\nlog file name and position to be invalid for the new primary. As a side\neffect, if you do not explicitly set the values of the MASTER_LOG_FILE and\nMASTER_LOG_POS options in the statement, then the statement will be implicitly\nappended with MASTER_LOG_FILE=\'\' and MASTER_LOG_POS=4. However, if you enable\nGTID mode for replication by setting the MASTER_USE_GTID option to some value\nother than no in the statement, then these values will effectively be ignored\nanyway.\n\nReplicas cannot connect to primaries using Unix socket files or Windows named\npipes. The replica must connect to the primary using TCP/IP.\n\nMASTER_CONNECT_RETRY\n--------------------\n\nThe MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY option for CHANGE MASTER defines how many seconds\nthat the replica will wait between connection retries. The default is 60.\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY=20;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe number of connection attempts is limited by the master_retry_count option.\nIt can be set either on the command-line or in a server option group in an\noption file prior to starting up the server. For example:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nmaster_retry_count=4294967295\n\nMASTER_BIND\n-----------\n\nThe MASTER_BIND option for CHANGE MASTER is only supported by MySQL 5.6.2 and\nlater and by MySQL NDB Cluster 7.3.1 and later. This option is not supported\nby MariaDB. See MDEV-19248 for more information.\n\nThe MASTER_BIND option for CHANGE MASTER can be used on replicas that have\nmultiple network interfaces to choose which network interface the replica will\nuse to connect to the primary.\n\nMASTER_HEARTBEAT_PERIOD\n-----------------------\n\nThe MASTER_HEARTBEAT_PERIOD option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to set the\ninterval in seconds between replication heartbeats. Whenever the primary\'s\nbinary log is updated with an event, the waiting period for the next heartbeat\nis reset.\n\nThis option\'s interval argument has the following characteristics:\n\n* It is a decimal value with a range of 0 to 4294967 seconds.\n* It has a resolution of hundredths of a second.\n* Its smallest valid non-zero value is 0.001.\n* Its default value is the value of the slave_net_timeout system variable\ndivided by 2.\n* If it\'s set to 0, then heartbeats are disabled.\n\nHeartbeats are sent by the primary only if there are no unsent events in the\nbinary log file for a period longer than the interval.\n\nIf the RESET SLAVE statement is executed, then the heartbeat interval is reset\nto the default.\n\nIf the slave_net_timeout system variable is set to a value that is lower than\nthe current heartbeat interval, then a warning will be issued.\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nThe TLS options are used for providing information about TLS. The options can\nbe set even on replicas that are compiled without TLS support. The TLS options\nare saved to either the default master.info file or the file that is\nconfigured by the master_info_file option, but these TLS options are ignored\nunless the replica supports TLS.\n\nSee Replication with Secure Connections for more information.\n\nMASTER_SSL\n----------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL option for CHANGE MASTER tells the replica whether to force TLS\nfor the connection. The valid values are 0 or 1.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL=1;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nMASTER_SSL_CA\n-------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_CA option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a PEM file that\nshould contain one or more X509 certificates for trusted Certificate\nAuthorities (CAs) to use for TLS. This option requires that you use the\nabsolute path, not a relative path. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CA=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Authorities (CAs) for more\ninformation.\n\nThe maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CA string is 511 characters.\n\nMASTER_SSL_CAPATH\n-----------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_CAPATH option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a directory\nthat contains one or more PEM files that should each contain one X509\ncertificate for a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) to use for TLS. This\noption requires that you use the absolute path, not a relative path. The\ndirectory specified by this option needs to be run through the openssl rehash\ncommand. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CAPATH=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca/\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Authorities (CAs) for more\ninformation.\n\nThe maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CA_PATH string is 511 characters.\n\nMASTER_SSL_CERT\n---------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_CERT option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to the X509\ncertificate file to use for TLS. This option requires that you use the\nabsolute path, not a relative path. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CA=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CERT string is 511 characters.\n\nMASTER_SSL_CRL\n--------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_CRL option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a PEM file that\nshould contain one or more revoked X509 certificates to use for TLS. This\noption requires that you use the absolute path, not a relative path.\n\nThis option is only supported if the server was built with OpenSSL. If the\nserver was built with yaSSL, then this option is not supported. See TLS and\nCryptography Libraries Used by MariaDB for more information about which\nlibraries are used on which platforms.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CA=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1,\n MASTER_SSL_CRL=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/crl.pem\';\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for more\ninformation.\n\nThe maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CRL string is 511 characters.\n\nMASTER_SSL_CRLPATH\n------------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_CRLPATH option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a directory\nthat contains one or more PEM files that should each contain one revoked X509\ncertificate to use for TLS. This option requires that you use the absolute\npath, not a relative path. The directory specified by this variable needs to\nbe run through the openssl rehash command.\n\nThis option is only supported if the server was built with OpenSSL. If the\nserver was built with yaSSL, then this option is not supported.

This option requires that you use the absolute path, not\na relative path. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CA=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/change-master-to/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe maximum length of MASTER_SSL_KEY string is 511 characters.\n\nMASTER_SSL_CIPHER\n-----------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_CIPHER option for CHANGE MASTER defines the list of permitted\nciphers or cipher suites to use for TLS. Besides cipher names, if MariaDB was\ncompiled with OpenSSL, this option could be set to \"SSLv3\" or \"TLSv1.2\" to\nallow all SSLv3 or all TLSv1.2 ciphers. Note that the TLSv1.3 ciphers cannot\nbe excluded when using OpenSSL, even by using this option. See Using TLSv1.3\nfor details. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CA=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1,\n MASTER_SSL_CIPHER=\'TLSv1.2\';\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CIPHER string is 511 characters.\n\nMASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT\n-----------------------------\n\nThe MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT option for CHANGE MASTER enables server\ncertificate verification. This option is disabled by default.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_SSL_CERT=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_KEY=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_CA=\'/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem\',\n MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview: Server Certificate Verification for more\ninformation.\n\nBinary Log Options\n------------------\n\nThese options are related to the binary log position on the primary.\n\nMASTER_LOG_FILE\n---------------\n\nThe MASTER_LOG_FILE option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with\nMASTER_LOG_POS to specify the coordinates at which the replica\'s I/O thread\nshould begin reading from the primary\'s binary logs the next time the thread\nstarts.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_LOG_FILE=\'master2-bin.001\',\n MASTER_LOG_POS=4;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the\nRELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options were also specified.\n\nThe MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options are effectively ignored if you\nenable GTID mode for replication by setting the MASTER_USE_GTID option to some\nvalue other than no in the statement.\n\nMASTER_LOG_POS\n--------------\n\nThe MASTER_LOG_POS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with\nMASTER_LOG_FILE to specify the coordinates at which the replica\'s I/O thread\nshould begin reading from the primary\'s binary logs the next time the thread\nstarts.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_LOG_FILE=\'master2-bin.001\',\n MASTER_LOG_POS=4;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the\nRELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options were also specified.\n\nThe MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options are effectively ignored if you\nenable GTID mode for replication by setting the MASTER_USE_GTID option to some\nvalue other than no in the statement.\n\nRelay Log Options\n-----------------\n\nThese options are related to the relay log position on the replica.\n\nRELAY_LOG_FILE\n--------------\n\nThe RELAY_LOG_FILE option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with the\nRELAY_LOG_POS option to specify the coordinates at which the replica\'s SQL\nthread should begin reading from the relay log the next time the thread starts.\n\nThe CHANGE MASTER statement usually deletes all relay log files. However, if\nthe RELAY_LOG_FILE and/or RELAY_LOG_POS options are specified, then existing\nrelay log files are kept.\n\nWhen you want to change the relay log position, you only need to stop the\nreplica\'s SQL thread. The replica\'s I/O thread can continue running. The STOP\nSLAVE and START SLAVE statements support the SQL_THREAD option for this\nscenario. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n RELAY_LOG_FILE=\'slave-relay-bin.006\',\n RELAY_LOG_POS=4025;\nSTART SLAVE SQL_THREAD;\n\nWhen the value of this option is changed, the metadata about the replica\'s SQL\nthread\'s position in the relay logs will also be changed in the relay-log.info\nfile or the file that is configured by the relay_log_info_file system variable.\n\nThe RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the\nMASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options were also specified.\n\nRELAY_LOG_POS\n-------------\n\nThe RELAY_LOG_POS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with the\nRELAY_LOG_FILE option to specify the coordinates at which the replica\'s SQL\nthread should begin reading from the relay log the next time the thread starts.\n\nThe CHANGE MASTER statement usually deletes all relay log files. However, if\nthe RELAY_LOG_FILE and/or RELAY_LOG_POS options are specified, then existing\nrelay log files are kept.\n\nWhen you want to change the relay log position, you only need to stop the\nreplica\'s SQL thread.

For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n RELAY_LOG_FILE=\'slave-relay-bin.006\',\n RELAY_LOG_POS=4025;\nSTART SLAVE SQL_THREAD;\n\nWhen the value of this option is changed, the metadata about the replica\'s SQL\nthread\'s position in the relay logs will also be changed in the relay-log.info\nfile or the file that is configured by the relay_log_info_file system variable.\n\nThe RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the\nMASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options were also specified.\n\nGTID Options\n------------\n\nMASTER_USE_GTID\n---------------\n\nThe MASTER_USE_GTID option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure the\nreplica to use the global transaction ID (GTID) when connecting to a primary.\nThe possible values are:\n\n* current_pos - Replicate in GTID mode and use gtid_current_pos as the\nposition to start downloading transactions from the primary. Deprecated from\nMariaDB 10.10. Using to transition to primary can break the replication state\nif the replica executes local transactions due to actively updating\ngtid_current_pos with gtid_binlog_pos and gtid_slave_pos. Use the new, safe,\nMASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE=<bool> option instead.\n* slave_pos - Replicate in GTID mode and use gtid_slave_pos as the position to\nstart downloading transactions from the primary. From MariaDB 10.5.1,\nreplica_pos is an alias for slave_pos.\n* no - Don\'t replicate in GTID mode.\n\nMASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.10\n---------------------------\nUsed to transition a primary to become a replica. Replaces the old\nMASTER_USE_GTID=current_pos with a safe alternative by forcing users to set\nUsing_Gtid=Slave_Pos and merging gtid_binlog_pos into gtid_slave_pos once at\nCHANGE MASTER TO time. If gtid_slave_pos is more recent than gtid_binlog_pos\n(as in the case of chain replication), the replication state should be\npreserved.\n\nFor example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_USE_GTID = current_pos;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nOr:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nSET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos=\'0-1-153\';\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_USE_GTID = slave_pos;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nReplication Filter Options\n--------------------------\n\nAlso see Replication filters.\n\nIGNORE_SERVER_IDS\n-----------------\n\nThe IGNORE_SERVER_IDS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure a\nreplica to ignore binary log events that originated from certain servers.\nFiltered binary log events will not get logged to the replica’s relay log, and\nthey will not be applied by the replica.\n\nThe option\'s value can be specified by providing a comma-separated list of\nserver_id values. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n IGNORE_SERVER_IDS = (3,5);\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nIf you would like to clear a previously set list, then you can set the value\nto an empty list. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n IGNORE_SERVER_IDS = ();\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nDO_DOMAIN_IDS\n-------------\n\nThe DO_DOMAIN_IDS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure a replica\nto only apply binary log events if the transaction\'s GTID is in a specific\ngtid_domain_id value. Filtered binary log events will not get logged to the\nreplica’s relay log, and they will not be applied by the replica.\n\nThe option\'s value can be specified by providing a comma-separated list of\ngtid_domain_id values. Duplicate values are automatically ignored. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n DO_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nIf you would like to clear a previously set list, then you can set the value\nto an empty list. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n DO_DOMAIN_IDS = ();\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe DO_DOMAIN_IDS option and the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option cannot both be set\nto non-empty values at the same time. If you want to set the DO_DOMAIN_IDS\noption, and the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option was previously set, then you need to\nclear the value of the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = (),\n DO_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe DO_DOMAIN_IDS option can only be specified if the replica is replicating\nin GTID mode. Therefore, the MASTER_USE_GTID option must also be set to some\nvalue other than no in order to use this option.\n\nIGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS\n-----------------\n\nThe IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure a\nreplica to ignore binary log events if the transaction\'s GTID is in a specific\ngtid_domain_id value. Filtered binary log events will not get logged to the\nreplica’s relay log, and they will not be applied by the replica.\n\nThe option\'s value can be specified by providing a comma-separated list of\ngtid_domain_id values. Duplicate values are automatically ignored. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nIf you would like to clear a previously set list, then you can set the value\nto an empty list. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = ();\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe DO_DOMAIN_IDS option and the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option cannot both be set\nto non-empty values at the same time. If you want to set the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS\noption, and the DO_DOMAIN_IDS option was previously set, then you need to\nclear the value of the DO_DOMAIN_IDS option. For example:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n DO_DOMAIN_IDS = (),\n IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThe IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option can only be specified if the replica is\nreplicating in GTID mode. Therefore, the MASTER_USE_GTID option must also be\nset to some value other than no in order to use this option.\n\nDelayed Replication Options\n---------------------------\n\nMASTER_DELAY\n------------\n\nThe MASTER_DELAY option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to enable delayed\nreplication. This option specifies the time in seconds (at least) that a\nreplica should lag behind the primary up to a maximum value of 2147483647, or\nabout 68 years. Before executing an event, the replica will first wait, if\nnecessary, until the given time has passed since the event was created on the\nprimary. The result is that the replica will reflect the state of the primary\nsome time back in the past. The default is zero, no delay.\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n MASTER_DELAY=3600;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nChanging Option Values\n----------------------\n\nIf you don\'t specify a given option when executing the CHANGE MASTER\nstatement, then the option keeps its old value in most cases. Most of the\ntime, there is no need to specify the options that do not need to change. For\nexample, if the password for the user account that the replica uses to connect\nto its primary has changed, but no other options need to change, then you can\njust change the MASTER_PASSWORD option by executing the following commands:\n\nSTOP SLAVE;\nCHANGE MASTER TO \n MASTER_PASSWORD=\'new3cret\';\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nThere are some cases where options are implicitly reset, such as when the\nMASTER_HOST and MASTER_PORT options are changed.\n\nOption Persistence\n------------------\n\nThe values of the MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options (i.e. the binary\nlog position on the primary) and most other options are written to either the\ndefault master.info file or the file that is configured by the\nmaster_info_file option. The replica\'s I/O thread keeps this binary log\nposition updated as it downloads events only when MASTER_USE_GTID option is\nset to NO. Otherwise the file is not updated on a per event basis.\n\nThe master_info_file option can be set either on the command-line or in a\nserver option group in an option file prior to starting up the server. For\nexample:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nmaster_info_file=/mariadb/myserver1-master.info\n\nThe values of the RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options (i.e. the relay log\nposition) are written to either the default relay-log.info file or the file\nthat is configured by the relay_log_info_file system variable. The replica\'s\nSQL thread keeps this relay log position updated as it applies events.\n\nThe relay_log_info_file system variable can be set either on the command-line\nor in a server option group in an option file prior to starting up the server.\nFor example:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nrelay_log_info_file=/mariadb/myserver1-relay-log.info\n\nGTID Persistence\n----------------\n\nIf the replica is replicating binary log events that contain GTIDs, then the\nreplica\'s SQL thread will write every GTID that it applies to the\nmysql.gtid_slave_pos table. This GTID can be inspected and modified through\nthe gtid_slave_pos system variable.\n\nIf the replica has the log_slave_updates system variable enabled and if the\nreplica has the binary log enabled, then every write by the replica\'s SQL\nthread will also go into the replica\'s binary log. This means that GTIDs of\nreplicated transactions would be reflected in the value of the gtid_binlog_pos\nsystem variable.\n\nCreating a Replica from a Backup\n--------------------------------\n\nThe CHANGE MASTER statement is useful for setting up a replica when you have a\nbackup of the primary and you also have the binary log position or GTID\nposition corresponding to the backup.\n\nAfter restoring the backup on the replica, you could execute something like\nthis to use the binary log position:\n\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_LOG_FILE=\'master2-bin.001\',\n MASTER_LOG_POS=4;\nSTART SLAVE;\n') WHERE help_topic_id = 814; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nOr you could execute something like this to use the GTID position:\n\nSET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos=\'0-1-153\';\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nSee Setting up a Replication Slave with Mariabackup for more information on\nhow to do this with Mariabackup.\n\nExample\n-------\n\nThe following example changes the primary and primary\'s binary log\ncoordinates. This is used when you want to set up the replica to replicate the\nprimary:\n\nCHANGE MASTER TO\n MASTER_HOST=\'master2.mycompany.com\',\n MASTER_USER=\'replication\',\n MASTER_PASSWORD=\'bigs3cret\',\n MASTER_PORT=3306,\n MASTER_LOG_FILE=\'master2-bin.001\',\n MASTER_LOG_POS=4,\n MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY=10;\nSTART SLAVE;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/change-master-to/') WHERE help_topic_id = 814; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (815,49,'START SLAVE','The terms master and slave have historically been used in replication, but the\nterms terms primary and replica are now preferred.

The I/O thread reads\nevents from the primary server and stores them in the relay log. The SQL\nthread reads events from the relay log and executes them. START SLAVE requires\nthe SUPER privilege, or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the REPLICATION SLAVE ADMIN\nprivilege.\n\nIf START SLAVE succeeds in starting the replica threads, it returns without\nany error. However, even in that case, it might be that the replica threads\nstart and then later stop (for example, because they do not manage to connect\nto the primary or read its binary log, or some other problem).

This statement is meant to be used for a clean start. It\ndeletes the master.info and relay-log.info files, all the relay log files, and\nstarts a new relay log file. To use RESET REPLICA/SLAVE, the replica threads\nmust be stopped (use STOP REPLICA/SLAVE if necessary).\n\nNote: All relay log files are deleted, even if they have not been completely\nexecuted by the slave SQL thread. (This is a condition likely to exist on a\nreplication slave if you have issued a STOP REPLICA/SLAVE statement or if the\nslave is highly loaded.)\n\nNote: RESET REPLICA does not reset the global gtid_slave_pos variable. This\nmeans that a replica server configured with CHANGE MASTER TO\nMASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos will not receive events with GTIDs occurring before\nthe state saved in gtid_slave_pos. If the intent is to reprocess these events,\ngtid_slave_pos must be manually reset, e.g. by executing set global\ngtid_slave_pos=\"\".\n\nConnection information stored in the master.info file is immediately reset\nusing any values specified in the corresponding startup options. This\ninformation includes values such as master host, master port, master user, and\nmaster password. If the replica SQL thread was in the middle of replicating\ntemporary tables when it was stopped, and RESET REPLICA/SLAVE is issued, these\nreplicated temporary tables are deleted on the slave.\n\nThe ALL also resets the PORT, HOST, USER and PASSWORD parameters for the\nslave.

Before\nthat one could only use variables (@var_name) as parameters.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nAfter preparing a statement with PREPARE, you execute it with an EXECUTE\nstatement that refers to the prepared statement name. If the prepared\nstatement contains any parameter markers, you must supply a USING clause that\nlists user variables containing the values to be bound to the parameters.\nParameter values can be supplied only by user variables, and the USING clause\nmust name exactly as many variables as the number of parameter markers in the\nstatement.\n\nYou can execute a given prepared statement multiple times, passing different\nvariables to it or setting the variables to different values before each\nexecution.\n\nIf the specified statement has not been PREPAREd, an error similar to the\nfollowing is produced:\n\nERROR 1243 (HY000): Unknown prepared statement handler (stmt_name) given to\nEXECUTE\n\nExample\n-------\n\nSee example in PREPARE.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/execute-statement/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/execute-statement/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (820,50,'PREPARE Statement','Syntax\n------\n\nPREPARE stmt_name FROM preparable_stmt\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe PREPARE statement prepares a statement and assigns it a name, stmt_name,\nby which to refer to the statement later. Statement names are not case\nsensitive. preparable_stmt is either a string literal or a user variable (not\na local variable, an SQL expression or a subquery) that contains the text of\nthe statement. The text must represent a single SQL statement, not multiple\nstatements. Within the statement, \"?\" characters can be used as parameter\nmarkers to indicate where data values are to be bound to the query later when\nyou execute it. The \"?\" characters should not be enclosed within quotes, even\nif you intend to bind them to string values. Parameter markers can be used\nonly where expressions should appear, not for SQL keywords, identifiers, and\nso forth.\n\nThe scope of a prepared statement is the session within which it is created.\nOther sessions cannot see it.\n\nIf a prepared statement with the given name already exists, it is deallocated\nimplicitly before the new statement is prepared. This means that if the new\nstatement contains an error and cannot be prepared, an error is returned and\nno statement with the given name exists.\n\nPrepared statements can be PREPAREd and EXECUTEd in a stored procedure, but\nnot in a stored function or trigger. Also, even if the statement is PREPAREd\nin a procedure, it will not be deallocated when the procedure execution ends.\n\nA prepared statement can access user-defined variables, but not local\nvariables or procedure\'s parameters.\n\nIf the prepared statement contains a syntax error, PREPARE will fail. As a\nside effect, stored procedures can use it to check if a statement is valid.\nFor example:\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE `test_stmt`(IN sql_text TEXT)\nBEGIN\n DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION\n BEGIN\n SELECT CONCAT(sql_text, \' is not valid\');\n END;\n SET @SQL := sql_text;\n PREPARE stmt FROM @SQL;\n DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;\nEND;\n\nThe FOUND_ROWS() and ROW_COUNT() functions, if called immediatly after\nEXECUTE, return the number of rows read or affected by the prepared\nstatements; however, if they are called after DEALLOCATE PREPARE, they provide\ninformation about this statement. If the prepared statement produces errors or\nwarnings, GET DIAGNOSTICS return information about them. DEALLOCATE PREPARE\nshouldn\'t clear the diagnostics area, unless it produces an error.\n\nA prepared statement is executed with EXECUTE and released with DEALLOCATE\nPREPARE.\n\nThe max_prepared_stmt_count server system variable determines the number of\nallowed prepared statements that can be prepared on the server. If it is set\nto 0, prepared statements are not allowed. If the limit is reached, an error\nsimilar to the following will be produced:\n\nERROR 1461 (42000): Can\'t create more than max_prepared_stmt_count statements \n (current value: 0)\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nIn Oracle mode from MariaDB 10.3, PREPARE stmt FROM \'SELECT :1, :2\' is used,\ninstead of ?.\n\nPermitted Statements\n--------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.6.2\n----------------------------\nAll statements can be prepared, except PREPARE, EXECUTE, and DEALLOCATE / DROP\nPREPARE.\n\nPrior to this, not all statements can be prepared.

For example, DESC can be used\ninstead of DESCRIBE.\n\nCompound statements can be prepared too.\n\nNote that if a statement can be run in a stored routine, it will work even if\nit is called by a prepared statement. For example, SIGNAL can\'t be directly\nprepared. However, it is allowed in stored routines. If the x() procedure\ncontains SIGNAL, you can still prepare and execute the \'CALL x();\' prepared\nstatement.\n\nPREPARE supports most kinds of expressions as well, for example:\n\nPREPARE stmt FROM CONCAT(\'SELECT * FROM \', table_name);\n\nWhen PREPARE is used with a statement which is not supported, the following\nerror is produced:\n\nERROR 1295 (HY000): This command is not supported in the prepared statement\nprotocol yet\n\nExample\n-------\n\ncreate table t1 (a int,b char(10));\ninsert into t1 values (1,\"one\"),(2, \"two\"),(3,\"three\");\nprepare test from \"select * from t1 where a=?\";\nset @param=2;\nexecute test using @param;\n+------+------+\n| a | b |\n+------+------+\n| 2 | two |\n+------+------+\nset @param=3;\nexecute test using @param;\n+------+-------+\n| a | b |\n+------+-------+\n| 3 | three |\n+------+-------+\ndeallocate prepare test;\n\nSince identifiers are not permitted as prepared statements parameters,\nsometimes it is necessary to dynamically compose an SQL statement. This\ntechnique is called dynamic SQL). The following example shows how to use\ndynamic SQL:\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE test.stmt_test(IN tab_name VARCHAR(64))\nBEGIN\n SET @sql = CONCAT(\'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \', tab_name);\n PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;\n EXECUTE stmt;\n DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;\nEND;\n\nCALL test.stmt_test(\'mysql.user\');\n+----------+\n| COUNT(*) |\n+----------+\n| 4 |\n+----------+\n\nUse of variables in prepared statements:\n\nPREPARE stmt FROM \'SELECT @x;\';\n\nSET @x = 1;\n\nEXECUTE stmt;\n+------+\n| @x |\n+------+\n| 1 |\n+------+\n\nSET @x = 0;\n\nEXECUTE stmt;\n+------+\n| @x |\n+------+\n| 0 |\n+------+\n\nDEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/prepare-statement/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/prepare-statement/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (821,50,'DEALLOCATE / DROP PREPARE','Syntax\n------\n\n{DEALLOCATE | DROP} PREPARE stmt_name\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nTo deallocate a prepared statement produced with PREPARE, use a DEALLOCATE\nPREPARE statement that refers to the prepared statement name.\n\nA prepared statement is implicitly deallocated when a new PREPARE command is\nissued.
