parser: Add option to allow additional MariaDB syntax

[dveeden]

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #64635

Problem Summary:

This is used in https://github.com/pingcap/tiflow/pull/12404

What changed and how does it work?

This adds SetMariaDB() to the parser, which can then be checked when parsing privilege names.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/parser"
	_ "github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/types/parser_driver"
)

func main() {
	stmt := "GRANT BINLOG MONITOR ON *.* TO 'aaa'@'bbb'"
	p := parser.New()
	p.SetMariaDB(true)
	r, err := p.ParseOneStmt(stmt, "", "")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("result: %#v\n", r)
}

result: &ast.GrantStmt{stmtNode:ast.stmtNode{node:ast.node{utf8Text:"", enc:(*charset.encodingUTF8)(0x2c88420), once:(*sync.Once)(0xc00032d600), text:"GRANT BINLOG MONITOR ON *.* TO 'aaa'@'bbb'", offset:0}}, Privs:[]*ast.PrivElem{(*ast.PrivElem)(0xc000417960)}, ObjectType:1, Level:(*ast.GrantLevel)(0xc000309800), Users:[]*ast.UserSpec{(*ast.UserSpec)(0xc000483668)}, AuthTokenOrTLSOptions:[]*ast.AuthTokenOrTLSOption{}, WithGrant:false}

Questions

1. Should this only do BINLOG MONITOR and add other permissions later on when needed? Or add them now?
2. ~~The keywords added for this might show up in information_schema.keywords. Should we filter these out?~~

Hi @dveeden. Thanks for your PR.

PRs from untrusted users cannot be marked as trusted with /ok-to-test in this repo meaning untrusted PR authors can never trigger tests themselves. Collaborators can still trigger tests on the PR using /test all.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

And in fact SEQUENCE is a MariaDB syntax, https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/sql-statement-create-sequence/#mysql-compatibility so maybe add it to the comment of SetMariaDB that for compatibility it's always enabled.

The SEQUENCE came from MariaDB, but is now accepted TiDB syntax.

The BINLOG MONITOR that we need to parse for DM is MariaDB syntax that we only support in DM, but not in TiDB. Or do you think we should do that as well? Note that not all MariaDB permissions are aliases, some are unique.

I think we can narrow the name like SetMariaDBPrivCompatible, SetDMMode or something

I think we can narrow the name like SetMariaDBPrivCompatible, SetDMMode or something

I think the right name is difficult

• SetDMMode(bool) (or SetDmMode(bool)?) : What if we want to use this at some point in Dumpling/CDC/etc? Also other open source projects could use the parser for various reasons and then it doesn't make sense to name it to something DM related.
• SetMariaDBPrivCompatible(bool): Might be ok.
• SetDialect(dialect...): Seems overly complicated.
• SetAdditionalMariaDBSyntaxMode(): Might be ok.
• MoreMariaDB() / LessMariaDB(): confusing

Maybe the solution is to have a ok-ish name and a good and complete comment?
