This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
The optimizer removes redundant GROUP BY operations. If GROUP BY element
is a subselect, it is "eliminated".
However one must not eliminate the item if it is used both in the select
list and in the GROUP BY, like so:
select (select ... ) as SUBQ from ... group by SUBQ
Do not eliminate such items.
Allow materialization strategy when collations on the
inner and outer sides of an IN subquery are the same and the
character set of the inner side is a proper subset of the character
set on the outer side.
This allows conversion from utf8mb3 to utf8mb4
as the former is a subset of the later.
This is only allowed when IN predicate is converted to an IN subquery
Backported part of the patch (d6a00d9b18) of MDEV-17905.
When duplicates are removed from a table using a hash, if the record is a duplicate it is marked
as deleted. The handler API check if the record is deleted and send an error flag HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED.
When we scan over the table if the thread is not killed then we skip the
records marked as HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED.
The issue here is when a query is aborted by a user (this is happening when the LIMIT for ROWS EXAMINED
is exceeded), the scan over the table does not skip the records for which HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED is sent.
It just returns an error flag HA_ERR_ABORTED_BY_USER.
This error flag is not checked at the upper level and hence we hit the assert.
If the query is aborted by the user we should just skip reading rows and return
control to the upper levels of execution.
- multi_range_read_info_const now uses the new records_in_range interface
- Added handler::avg_io_cost()
- Don't calculate avg_io_cost() in get_sweep_read_cost if avg_io_cost is
not 1.0. In this case we trust the avg_io_cost() from the handler.
- Changed test_quick_select to use TIME_FOR_COMPARE instead of
TIME_FOR_COMPARE_IDX to align this with the rest of the code.
- Fixed bug when using test_if_cheaper_ordering where we didn't use
keyread if index was changed
- Fixed a bug where we didn't use index only read when using order-by-index
- Added keyread_time() to HEAP.
The default keyread_time() was optimized for blocks and not suitable for
HEAP. The effect was the HEAP prefered table scans over ranges for btree
indexes.
- Fixed get_sweep_read_cost() for HEAP tables
- Ensure that range and ref have same cost for simple ranges
Added a small cost (MULTI_RANGE_READ_SETUP_COST) to ranges to ensure
we favior ref for range for simple queries.
- Fixed that matching_candidates_in_table() uses same number of records
as the rest of the optimizer
- Added avg_io_cost() to JT_EQ_REF cost. This helps calculate the cost for
HEAP and temporary tables better. A few tests changed because of this.
- heap::read_time() and heap::keyread_time() adjusted to not add +1.
This was to ensure that handler::keyread_time() doesn't give
higher cost for heap tables than for normal tables. One effect of
this is that heap and derived tables stored in heap will prefer
key access as this is now regarded as cheap.
- Changed cost for index read in sql_select.cc to match
multi_range_read_info_const(). All index cost calculation is now
done trough one function.
- 'ref' will now use quick_cost for keys if it exists. This is done
so that for '=' ranges, 'ref' is prefered over 'range'.
- scan_time() now takes avg_io_costs() into account
- get_delayed_table_estimates() uses block_size and avg_io_cost()
- Removed default argument to test_if_order_by_key(); simplifies code
Step #2: "[ORDER BY ...] LIMIT n" should not prevent EXISTS-to-IN
conversion, as long as
- the LIMIT clause doesn't have OFFSET
- the LIMIT is not "LIMIT 0".
Step 1: Removal of ORDER BY [LIMIT] from the subquery should be done
earlier and for broader class of subqueries.
The rewrite was done in Item_in_subselect::select_in_like_transformer(),
but this had problems:
- It didn't cover EXISTS subqueries
- It covered IN-subqueries, but was done after the semi-join transformation
was considered inapplicable, because ORDER BY was present.
Remaining issue:
- EXISTS->IN transformation happens before
check_and_do_in_subquery_rewrites() is called, so it is still prevented
by the present ORDER BY.
