Initialize READ_RECORD structure to perform full index scan (in forward
28
direction) using read_record.read_record() interface.
30
This function has been added at late stage and is used only by
31
UPDATE/DELETE. Other statements perform index scans using
32
join_read_first/next functions.
34
@param info READ_RECORD structure to initialize.
35
@param session Thread handle
36
@param table Table to be accessed
37
@param print_error If true, call table->print_error() if an error
38
occurs (except for end-of-records error)
39
@param idx index to scan
41
void init_read_record_idx(READ_RECORD *info,
48
init_read_record is used to scan by using a number of different methods.
49
Which method to use is set-up in this call so that later calls to
50
the info->read_record will call the appropriate method using a function
53
There are five methods that relate completely to the sort function
54
filesort. The result of a filesort is retrieved using read_record
55
calls. The other two methods are used for normal table access.
57
The filesort will produce references to the records sorted, these
58
references can be stored in memory or in a temporary cursor.
60
The temporary cursor is normally used when the references doesn't fit into
61
a properly sized memory buffer. For most small queries the references
62
are stored in the memory buffer.
64
The temporary cursor is also used when performing an update where a key is
67
Methods used when ref's are in memory (using rr_from_pointers):
68
rr_unpack_from_buffer:
69
----------------------
70
This method is used when table->sort.addon_field is allocated.
71
This is allocated for most SELECT queries not involving any BLOB's.
72
In this case the records are fetched from a memory buffer.
75
Used when the above is not true, UPDATE, DELETE and so forth and
76
SELECT's involving BLOB's. It is also used when the addon_field
77
buffer is not allocated due to that its size was bigger than the
78
session variable max_length_for_sort_data.
79
In this case the record data is fetched from the handler using the
80
saved reference using the rnd_pos handler call.
82
Methods used when ref's are in a temporary cursor (using rr_from_tempfile)
83
rr_unpack_from_tempfile:
84
------------------------
85
Same as rr_unpack_from_buffer except that references are fetched from
86
temporary cursor. Should obviously not really happen other than in
87
strange configurations.
91
Same as rr_from_pointers except that references are fetched from
92
temporary cursor instead of from
95
This is a special variant of rr_from_tempfile that can be used for
96
handlers that is not using the HA_FAST_KEY_READ table flag. Instead
97
of reading the references one by one from the temporary cursor it reads
98
a set of them, sorts them and reads all of them into a buffer which
99
is then used for a number of subsequent calls to rr_from_cache.
100
It is only used for SELECT queries and a number of other conditions
103
All other accesses use either index access methods (rr_quick) or a full
104
table scan (rr_sequential).
107
rr_quick uses one of the QUICK_SELECT classes in optimizer/range.cc to
108
perform an index scan. There are loads of functionality hidden
109
in these quick classes. It handles all index scans of various kinds.
112
This is the most basic access method of a table using rnd_init,
113
rnd_next and rnd_end. No indexes are used.
