MySQL: Upgrade should enforce new tables with InnoDB

Description

During upgrade process, when Trac creates tables for MySQL, it should create a test temporary table and check if its type is MyISAM. If it is MyISAM, then Trac should enforce InnoDB engine on all newly created tables during upgrade process.

MyISAM table types breaks transactions, which becomes a source of magical bugs like #8067.

Good idea, PatchWelcome (make that an IEnvironmentSetupParticipant.environment_needs_upgrade check, in the MySQLConnector).

Milestone: next-major-releases1.0.2
Owner: set to Jun Omae
Status: newassigned

Proposed changes can be found in log:jomae.git:ticket10993.

The following are verified on init_db and environment_needs_upgrade of MySQLConnector:

  • MyISAM engine of table isn't used
  • utf8_bin or utf8mb4_bin is used as collation of table
  • default_storage_engine variable isn't MyISAM
  • character_set_database and collation_database variables are one of (('utf8', 'utf8_bin'), ('utf8mb4', 'utf8mb4_bin'))

Looks good to me.

Are you concerned about temporary tables? Since 5.6.3 someone could sneakily set default_tmp_storage_engine. (Or other weird things, like use a CSV engine?)

comment:8:ticket:10661 proposed to:

to do a "safety check" (creating a (temp) table, verify the encoding; try to insert a few rows in a transaction (with upper/lower case conflicts); rollback and check if all rows are gone).

But I think your proposed changes are simpler and sufficient for the most likely problem of old MySQL with MyISAM default.

Replying to psuter:

Okay. Updated log:jomae.git:ticket10993 branch.

I've added the verifications for default_tmp_storage_engine and the engine is neither EXAMPLE, ARCHIVE, CSV nor ISAM that they don't support transactions in obvious.

Nice.

I closed #8089 and #10661 as duplicates.

comment:8 by Ryan J Ollos, 6 years ago

Edited MySqlDb@77.

This issue might be revisited in the future, for now I'm just summarizing the discussion in gdiscussion:trac-users:MO_KSSQMdnU.

The requirement to set default_storage_engine and default_tmp_storage_engine in my.cnf could be removed if:

  • The storage engine was specified in a trac.ini variable such as [trac] mysql_storage_engine or [mysql] storage_engine
  • MySQLConnector.to_sql was modified to include the ENGINE table option in TABLE CREATE statements
  • The modules in the upgrade package were modified to use the ENGINE table option either directly or indirectly by use of a helper function (such as MySQLConnector.to_sql)

comment:9 by Jun Omae, 6 years ago

I noticed we could use default_storage_engine and default_tmp_storage_engine in session variables, rather than my.cnf.

SET @@session.default_storage_engine = 'InnoDB';

Setting storage engine for session looks like a good idea. Should we make a new ticket and target to a 1.3.x milestone?

comment:11 by Jun Omae, 6 years ago

Created #13080 targeted to next-dev-1.3.x.
