MySql 在 INSERT INTO 时生成相同的 UUID... SELECT

Question

I have this bug happening only on the production server (of course). I'm not able to replicate this on any machine.

Let's say I have to perform a query made like this

INSERT INTO my_table(UUID, Name, Surname) SELECT UUID(), Name, Surname FROM other_table

I expect to have a different UUID for any new generated row, that is exactly what happens in any environment. Except production.

There, if I run that query, MySQL generates all identical UUID. Looks like that, instead of generating a new one for every row, it runs the function only once and then replicates the value.

I'm pretty sure it's due to some kind of configuration, but I can't understand which one.

Also, it might not be strictly MySQL related: if I run the query from my PC but on the production server using SQLyog, the query works fine and generates all different UUIDs.

Could it be PHP fault? I'm currently using mysqli driver.

Just to make it clear, if I run this query from my PC

SELECT UUID()
FROM (SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id UNION ALL
      SELECT 1 AS id
     ) i

the result is

bb79716f-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb79717a-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb79717c-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb79717e-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb79717f-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb797181-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb797183-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb797185-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb797187-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a
bb797189-f0ba-11e9-a154-f23c91fbfa4a

But if I run the same query using PHP on the server, the result is

Answer 1

Not really the perfect answer to the question, but if anybody has the same problem it can be solved with a workaround. Just create a "new_uuid" function in MySQL, in use it instead of the built-in one. This way

CREATE FUNCTION new_uuid() RETURNS VARCHAR(36) CHARSET utf8 BEGIN   RETURN UUID();  END;

Then you can just use it instead of UUID()

SELECT new_uuid()

And it will correctly return different UUIDs in case you have multiple rows.

This is the only approach I got working to solve my issue. No idea why:)
