Re: free_table_share() != drizzle

 

Hi Brian,

Just one problem maybe you have a quick suggestion:

How do I get the offset of a field into the row buffer?

When using the Table object I did this as follows:

field->offset(field->table->record[0])

But this does not work with TableShare.

Are you suggesting I create a TableShare on the stack whenever I need it? I don't think this would work because AFAIK I have to call open_table_def(), which loads the table definition. So calling this each time I want to copy data in and out of the row would be too slow.

What may work is to use a TableShare object instead of a Table object.

That is what I was suggesting, just create an object and use it.

Question is, can I do something like:
share = new TableShare();
share->init(db_name, 0, name, path);
error = open_table_def(&thd, *ident, share);

Yes you can do this, hell, we can probably make it simpler then this as well.

and then later simply:
delete share;
to remove.

Yep. If you look in createTable() you can even see how we do this during that operation.

Here the engine will follow the "table" pointer to the "field" array, where it uses the offsets of the data in a record, in order to copy data in and out of the record.

So what you need is the Field** that is in share (aka, you don't even need Table, you just need TableShare).

You could just do this:

TableShare my_share(<share_key>,....);

That way you have your own object and you never pass through any of the locking system/dealing with any of the object counting.

Cheers,
