Improve dealing with check constraints #10268

This fixes a number of issues for check constaints. First it allows parsing both DROP CONSTRAINT and DROP CHECK in the parser so we can correctly drop an existing constraint. This was missing so far and only a foreign key constraint could be dropped.

Secondly, we improve dealing with constraints in schemadiff as well. Normalization there needs to generate names for constraints much like how we generate names for keys as well.

We also need to teach the diffing logic then how to create the proper DROP statements instead of a DROP FOREIGN KEY for all constraints that get dropped.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has the correct release notes label. release notes none should only be used for PRs that are so trivial that they need not be included.
  • If a new flag is being introduced, review whether it is really needed. The flag names should be clear and intuitive (as far as possible), and the flag's help should be descriptive.

Bug fixes

  • There should be at least one unit or end-to-end test.
  • The Pull Request description should either include a link to an issue that describes the bug OR an actual description of the bug and how to reproduce, along with a description of the fix.

Non-trivial changes

  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.

New/Existing features

  • Should be documented, either by modifying the existing documentation or creating new documentation.
  • New features should have a link to a feature request issue or an RFC that documents the use cases, corner cases and test cases.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.

There's one specific diffing optimization for check constraints that isn't implemented yet that I wanted to look at separately, which is for enabling / disabling the ENFORCED flag on an existing constraint which can be changed with an ALTER TABLE ALTER CONSTRAINT <name> [ENFORCED | NOT ENFORCED] DDL style statement.

// now let's see if that name is taken; if it is, enumerate new news until we find a free name
for enumerate := 2; constraintNameExists[suggestedCheckName]; enumerate++ {
suggestedCheckName = fmt.Sprintf(nameFormat, c.CreateTable.Table.Name.String(), enumerate)
}

is there a maxlength handling? We've seen in normal keys, that the name for key#2 and onwards is a 30 characters prefix, then padded with _2... etc.

@shlomi-noach Not yet, but since you were looking at it for regular indexes, I was wondering if it makes more sense to do that together with that one?

Let me try this out though and see what it looks like.

Oh, haha, I think we can ignore this case as MySQL errors on it?

mysql> create table Y3PbHeDlyEgHtCKXmLlt8mC6Oe07UadTl1o75KQmZ3eWWkpZQlKw6WN0dSBtXSEt (id int primary key, i int, foreign key (i) references parent(id));
ERROR 1059 (42000): Identifier name 'y3pbhedlyeghtckxmllt8mc6oe07uadtl1o75kqmz3ewwkpzqlkw6wn0dsbtxset_ibfk_1' is too long

So we'd fail to create the table with the normalized name in the same way then when running this against the underlying MySQL.

@dbussink sounds good.

This fixes a number of issues for check constaints. First it allows
parsing both `DROP CONSTRAINT` and `DROP CHECK` in the parser so we can
correctly drop an existing constraint. This was missing so far and only
a foreign key constraint could be dropped.

Secondly, we improve dealing with constraints in schemadiff as well.
Normalization there needs to generate names for constraints much like
how we generate names for keys as well.

We also need to teach the diffing logic then how to create the proper
`DROP` statements instead of a `DROP FOREIGN KEY` for all constraints
that get dropped.

This is implemented in the follow up in #10269
