with condition_pushdown_from_having
This bug could manifest itself for queries with GROUP BY and HAVING clauses
when the HAVING clause was a conjunctive condition that depended
exclusively on grouping fields and at least one conjunct contained an
equality of the form fld=sq where fld is a grouping field and sq is a
constant subquery.
In this case the optimizer tries to perform a pushdown of the HAVING
condition into WHERE. To construct the pushable condition the optimizer
first transforms all multiple equalities in HAVING into simple equalities.
This has to be done for a proper processing of the pushed conditions
in WHERE. The multiple equalities at all AND/OR levels must be converted
to simple equalities because any multiple equality may refer to a multiple
equality at the upper level.
Before this patch the conversion was performed like this:
multiple_equality(x,f1,...,fn) => x=f1 and ... and x=fn.
When an equality item for x=fi was constructed both the items for x and fi
were cloned. If x happened to be a constant subquery that could not be
cloned the conversion failed. If the conversions of multiple equalities
previously performed had succeeded then the whole condition became in an
inconsistent state that could cause different failures.
The solution provided by the patch is:
1. to use a different conversion rule if x is a constant
multiple_equality(x,f1,...,fn) => f1=x and f2=f1 and ... and fn=f1
2. not to clone x if it's a constant.
Such conversions cannot fail and besides the result of the conversion
preserves the equivalence of f1,...,fn that can be used for other
optimizations.
This patch also made sure that expensive predicates are not pushed from
HAVING to WHERE.
fix bug for spider where using "not like" (#890)
test case:
t1 is a spider engine table;
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`name` char(64) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=SPIDER
query: "select * from t1 where name not like 'x%' " would dispatch "select xxx name name like 'x%' " to remote mysqld, is wrong
This change takes into account a column's GENERATED ALWAYS AS
expression dependcy on sql_mode's PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH and
NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION flags.
Indexed virtual columns as well as persistent generated columns are
now not allowed to have such dependencies to avoid inconsistent data
or index files on sql_mode changes.
So an error is now returned in cases like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->VARCHAR or CHAR->TEXT = ERROR
);
Functions RPAD() and RTRIM() can now remove dependency on
PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH. So this can be used instead:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v VARCHAR(5) AS (RTRIM(a)) PERSISTENT
);
Note, unlike CHAR->VARCHAR and CHAR->TEXT this still works,
not RPAD(a) is needed:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1
(
a CHAR(5),
v CHAR(5) AS (a) PERSISTENT -- CHAR->CHAR is OK
);
More sql_mode flags may affect values of generated columns.
They will be addressed separately.
See comments in sql_mode.h for implementation details.
in where clause
The classes Item_func_isnottrue and Item_func_isnotfalse inherited the
implementation of the eval_not_null_tables method from the Item_func
class. As a result the not_null_tables_cache was set incorrectly for
the objects of these classes. It led to improper conversion of outer
joins to inner joins when the where clause of the processed query
contained IS NOT TRUE or IS NOT FALSE predicates. The coverted query
in many cases produced a wrong result set.
test case:
t1 is a spider engine table;
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`name` char(64) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=SPIDER
query: "select * from t1 where name not like 'x%' " would dispatch "select xxx name name like 'x%' " to remote mysqld, is wrong
This bug is caused by pushdown from HAVING into WHERE.
It appears because condition that is pushed wasn't fixed.
It is also discovered that condition pushdown from HAVING into
WHERE is done wrong. There is no need to build clones for some
conditions that can be pushed. They can be simply moved from HAVING
into WHERE without cloning.
build_pushable_cond_for_having_pushdown(),
remove_pushed_top_conjuncts_for_having() methods are changed.
It is found that there is no transformation made for fields of
pushed condition.
field_transformer_for_having_pushdown transformer is added.
New tests are added. Some comments are changed.
using Item_cond
This bug is similar to the bug MDEV-16765.
It appears because of the wrong pushdown into HAVING clause while this
pushdown shouldn't be made at all.
This happens because function that checks if Item_cond can be pushed
always returns that it can be pushed.
To fix it new method Item_cond::excl_dep_on_table() was added.
Optimized the code that removed multiple equalities pushed from HAVING
into WHERE. Now this removal is postponed until all multiple equalities
are eliminated in substitute_for_best_equal_field().
in the tree bb-10.4-mdev7486
The crash was caused because of the similar problem as in mdev-16765:
Item_cond::excl_dep_on_group_fields_for_having_pushdown() was missing.
Condition can be pushed from the HAVING clause into the WHERE clause
if it depends only on the fields that are used in the GROUP BY list
or depends on the fields that are equal to grouping fields.
Aggregate functions can't be pushed down.
How the pushdown is performed on the example:
SELECT t1.a,MAX(t1.b)
FROM t1
GROUP BY t1.a
HAVING (t1.a>2) AND (MAX(c)>12);
=>
SELECT t1.a,MAX(t1.b)
FROM t1
WHERE (t1.a>2)
GROUP BY t1.a
HAVING (MAX(c)>12);
The implementation scheme:
1. Extract the most restrictive condition cond from the HAVING clause of
the select that depends only on the fields that are used in the GROUP BY
list of the select (directly or indirectly through equalities)
2. Save cond as a condition that can be pushed into the WHERE clause
of the select
3. Remove cond from the HAVING clause if it is possible
The optimization is implemented in the function
st_select_lex::pushdown_from_having_into_where().
New test file having_cond_pushdown.test is created.
The bug appears because of the wrong pushdown into the WHERE clause of the
materialized derived table/view work. For the excl_dep_on_grouping_fields()
method that checks if the condition can be pushed into the WHERE clause
the case when Item_cond is used is missing. For Item_cond elements this
method always returns positive result (that condition can be pushed).
So this condition is pushed even if is shouldn't be pushed.
To fix it new Item_cond::excl_dep_on_grouping_fields() method is added.
