The bug could lead to a wrong estimate of the number of expected rows
in the output of the EXPLAIN commands for queries with GROUP BY.
This could be observed in the test case for LP bug 934348.
If the setting of system variables does not allow to use join buffer
for a join query with GROUP BY <f1,...> / ORDER BY <f1,...> then
filesort is not needed if the first joined table is scanned in
the order compatible with order specified by the list <f1,...>.
If, when executing a query with ORDER BY col LIMIT n, the optimizer chose
an index-merge scan to access the table containing col while there existed
an index defined over col then optimizer did not consider the possibility
of using an alternative range scan by this index to avoid filesort. This
could cause a performance degradation if the optimizer flag index_merge was
set up to 'on'.
Problem:-
When we execute a query which has subquery with GROUP BY, ORDER BY and have a
BLOB column,results a memory leak.
Analysis:-
In case of subquery, which have GROUP BY on BLOB and a ORDER BY on other field
and BLOB is not a key. We allocate a tmp buffer to copy_field to take care of
BLOB value.This copy_field value can have copies of its in two join(objects),
so while freeing this copy_field we have to take care that it is
not deleted twice.
The double deletion of tmp_table_param.copy_field is handled by two patches.
One by Kostja :
revid:sp1r-konstantin@mysql.com-20050627101056-55153

and other by Oleksandr

Excluded posibility of tmp_table_param.copy_field double deletion (BUG#14851).
both of this patches are commited in different branch and while
merging they both get placed,but there is no need for Kostja patch as Oleksandr

Fix for Bug#12667154 SAME QUERY EXEC AS WHERE SUBQ GIVES DIFFERENT
RESULTS ON IN() & NOT IN() COMP #3
This bug causes a wrong result in mysql-trunk when ICP is used
and bad performance in mysql-5.5 and mysql-trunk.
Using the query from bug report to explain what happens and causes
the wrong result from the query when ICP is enabled:
1. The t3 table contains four records. The outer query will read
these and for each of these it will execute the subquery.
2. Before the first execution of the subquery it will be optimized. In
this case the important is what happens to the first table t1:
-make_join_select() will call the range optimizer which decides
that t1 should be accessed using a range scan on the k1 index
It creates a QUICK_RANGE_SELECT object for this.
-As the last part of optimization the ICP code pushes the
condition down to the storage engine for table t1 on the k1 index.
This produces the following information in the explain for this table:
2 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY t1 range k1 k1 5 NULL 3 Using index condition; Using filesort
Note the use of filesort.
3. The first execution of the subquery does (among other things) due
to the need for sorting:
a. Call create_sort_index() which again will call find_all_keys():
b. find_all_keys() will read the required keys for all qualifying
rows from the storage engine. To do this it checks if it has a
quick-select for the table. It will use the quick-select for
reading records. In this case it will read four records from the
storage engine (based on the range criteria). The storage engine
will evaluate the pushed index condition for each record.
c. At the end of create_sort_index() there is code that cleans up a
lot of stuff on the join tab. One of the things that is cleaned
is the select object. The result of this is that the
quick-select object created in make_join_select is deleted.
4. The second execution of the subquery does the same as the first but
the result is different:
a. Call create_sort_index() which again will call find_all_keys()
(same as for the first execution)
b. find_all_keys() will read the keys from the storage engine. To
do this it checks if it has a quick-select for the table. Now
there is NO quick-select object(!) (since it was deleted in
step 3c). So find_all_keys defaults to read the table using a
table scan instead. So instead of reading the four relevant records
in the range it reads the entire table (6 records). It then
evaluates the table's condition (and here it goes wrong). Since
the entire condition has been pushed down to the storage engine
using ICP all 6 records qualify. (Note that the storage engine
will not evaluate the pushed index condition in this case since
it was pushed for the k1 index and now we do a table scan
without any index being used).
The result is that here we return six qualifying key values
instead of four due to not evaluating the table's condition.
c. As above.
5. The two last execution of the subquery will also produce wrong results
for the same reason.
Summary: The problem occurs due to all but the first executions of the
subquery is done as a table scan without evaluating the table's
condition (which is pushed to the storage engine on a different
index). This is caused by the create_sort_index() function deleting
the quick-select object that should have been used for executing the
subquery as a range scan.
Note that this bug in addition to causing wrong results also can
result in bad performance due to executing the subquery using a table
scan instead of a range scan. This is an issue in MySQL 5.5.
The fix for this problem is to avoid that the Quick-select-object that
the optimizer created is deleted when create_sort_index() is doing
clean-up of the join-tab. This will ensure that the quick-select
object and the corresponding pushed index condition will be available
and used by all following executions of the subquery.
The problem was that was_null and null_value variables was reset in each reexecution of IN subquery, but engine rerun only for non-constant subqueries.
Fixed checking constant in Item_equal sort.
Fix constant reporting in Item_subselect.
two tests still fail:
main.innodb_icp and main.range_vs_index_merge_innodb
call records_in_range() with both range ends being open
(which triggers an assert)
When resolving outer fields, Item_field::fix_outer_fields()
creates new Item_refs for each execution of a prepared statement, so
these must be allocated in the runtime memroot. The memroot switching
before resolving JOIN::having causes these to be allocated in the
statement root, leaking memory for each PS execution.
sql/item_subselect.cc:
addon, fix for 11829691, item could be created in
runtime memroot, so we need to use real_item instead.
"ORDER BY" AND "LIMIT BY" CLAUSE
PROBLEM:
When a 'limit' clause is specified in a query along with
group by and order by, optimizer chooses wrong index
there by examining more number of rows than required.
However without the 'limit' clause, optimizer chooses
the right index.
ANALYSIS:
With respect to the query specified, range optimizer chooses
the first index as there is a range present ( on 'a'). Optimizer
then checks for an index which would give records in sorted
order for the 'group by' clause.
While checking chooses the second index (on 'c,b,a') based on
the 'limit' specified and the selectivity of
'quick_condition_rows' (number of rows present in the range)
in 'test_if_skip_sort_order' function.
But, it fails to consider that an order by clause on a
different column will result in scanning the entire index and
hence the estimated number of rows calculated above are
wrong (which results in choosing the second index).
FIX:
Do not enforce the 'limit' clause in the call to
'test_if_skip_sort_order' if we are creating a temporary
table. Creation of temporary table indicates that there would be
more post-processing and hence will need all the rows.
This fix is backported from 5.6. This problem is fixed in 5.6 as
part of changes for work log #5558

Changes for Bug#11762052 results in the correct number of rows.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Do not pass the actual 'limit' value if 'need_tmp' is true.
Problem: Some queries with subqueries and a HAVING clause that
consists only of a column not in the select or grouping lists causes
the server to crash.
During parsing, an Item_ref is constructed for the HAVING column. The
name of the column is resolved when JOIN::prepare calls fix_fields()
on its having clause. Since the column is not mentioned in the select
or grouping lists, a ref pointer is not found and a new Item_field is
created instead. The Item_ref is replaced by the Item_field in the
tree of HAVING clauses. Since the tree consists only of this item, the
pointer that is updated is JOIN::having. However,
st_select_lex::having still points to the Item_ref as the root of the
tree of HAVING clauses.
The bug is triggered when doing filesort for create_sort_index(). When
find_all_keys() calls select->cond->walk() it eventually reaches
Item_subselect::walk() where it continues to walk the having clauses
from lex->having. This means that it finds the Item_ref instead of the
new Item_field, and Item_ref::walk() tries to dereference the ref
pointer, which is still null.
The crash is reproducible only in 5.5, but the problem lies latent in
5.1 and trunk as well.
Fix: After calling fix_fields on the having clause in JOIN::prepare(),
set select_lex::having to point to the same item as JOIN::having.
This patch also fixes a bug in 5.1 and 5.5 that is triggered if the
query is executed as a prepared statement. The Item_field is created
in the runtime arena when the query is prepared, and the pointer to
the item is saved by st_select_lex::fix_prepare_information() and
brought back as a dangling pointer when the query is executed, after
the runtime arena has been reclaimed.
Fix: Backport fix from trunk that switches to the permanent arena
before calling Item_ref::fix_fields() in JOIN::prepare().
sql/item.cc:
Set context when creating Item_field.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Switch to permanent arena and update select_lex->having.
WHEN KILLING
Suppose there is a query waiting for a lock. If the user kills
this query, then "Got error -1 when reading table" error message
must not be logged in the server log file. Since this is a user
requested interruption, no spurious error message must be logged
in the server log. This patch will remove the error message from
the log.
approved by joh and tatjana
- In JOIN::exec(), make the having->update_used_tables() call before we've
made the JOIN::cleanup(full=true) call. The latter frees SJ-Materialization
structures, which correlated subquery predicate items attempt to walk afterwards.
This is a backport of the (unchaged) fix for MySQL bug #11764372, 57197.
Analysis:
When the outer query finishes its main execution and computes GROUP BY,
it needs to construct a new temporary table (and a corresponding JOIN) to
execute the last DISTINCT operation. At this point JOIN::exec calls
JOIN::join_free, which calls JOIN::cleanup -> TMP_TABLE_PARAM::cleanup
for both the outer and the inner JOINs. The call to the inner
TMP_TABLE_PARAM::cleanup sets copy_field = NULL, but not copy_field_end.
The final execution phase that computes the DISTINCT invokes:
evaluate_join_record -> end_write -> copy_funcs
The last function copies the results of all functions into the temp table.
copy_funcs walks over all functions in join->tmp_table_param.items_to_copy.
In this case items_to_copy contains both assignments to user variables.
The process of copying user variables invokes Item_func_set_user_var::check
which in turn re-evaluates the arguments of the user variable assignment.
This in turn triggers re-evaluation of the subquery, and ultimately
copy_field.
However, the previous call to TMP_TABLE_PARAM::cleanup for the subquery
already set copy_field to NULL but not its copy_field_end. This results
in a null pointer access, and a crash.
Fix:
Set copy_field_end and save_copy_field_end to null when deleting
copy fields in TMP_TABLE_PARAM::cleanup().
- make make_cond_after_sjm() correctly handle OR clauses where one branch refers to the semi-join table
while the other branch refers to the non-semijoin table.
The patch backports two patches from mysql 5.6:
- BUG#12640437: USING SQL_BUFFER_RESULT RESULTS IN A DIFFERENT QUERY OUTPUT
- Bug#12578908: SELECT SQL_BUFFER_RESULT OUTPUTS TOO MANY ROWS WHEN GROUP IS OPTIMIZED AWAY
Original comment:
-----------------
3714 Jorgen Loland 2012-03-01
BUG#12640437 - USING SQL_BUFFER_RESULT RESULTS IN A DIFFERENT
QUERY OUTPUT
For all but simple grouped queries, temporary tables are used to
resolve grouping. In these cases, the list of grouping fields is
stored in the temporary table and grouping is resolved
there (e.g. by adding a unique constraint on the involved
fields). Because of this, grouping is already done when the rows
are read from the temporary table.
In the case where a group clause may be optimized away, grouping
does not have to be resolved using a temporary table. However, if
a temporary table is explicitly requested (e.g. because the
SQL_BUFFER_RESULT hint is used, or the statement is
INSERT...SELECT), a temporary table is used anyway. In this case,
the temporary table is created with an empty group list (because
the group clause was optimized away) and it will therefore not
create groups. Since the temporary table does not take care of
grouping, JOIN::group shall not be set to false in
make_simple_join(). This was fixed in bug 12578908.
However, there is an exception where make_simple_join() should
set JOIN::group to false even if the query uses a temporary table
that was explicitly requested but is not strictly needed. That
exception is if the loose index scan access method (explain
says "Using index for group-by") is used to read into the
temporary table. With loose index scan, grouping is resolved
by the access method. This is exactly what happens in this bug.
The problem was in the code (update_const_equal_items()) which marked
index parts constant independently of the place where the equality was used.
In the test suite it marked t2_1.c part constant despite the fact that
it connected by OR with other expression.
Solution is to mark constant only top equalities connected with AND.
ORDER BY COUNT(*) LIMIT.
PROBLEM:
With respect to problem in the bug description, we
exhibit different behaviors for the two tables
presented, because innodb statistics (rec_per_key
in this case) are updated for the first table
and not so for the second one. As a result the
query plan gets changed in test_if_skip_sort_order
to use 'index' scan. Hence the difference in the
explain output. (NOTE: We can reproduce the problem
with first table by reducing the number of tuples
and changing the table structure)
The varied output w.r.t the query on the second table
is because of the result in the query plan change.
When a query plan is changed to use 'index' scan,
after the call to test_if_skip_sort_order, we set
keyread to TRUE immedietly. If for some reason
we drop this index scan for a filesort later on,
we fetch only the keys not the entire tuple.
As a result we would see junk values in the result set.
Following is the code flow:
Call test_if_skip_sort_order
-Choose an index to give sorted output
-If this is a covering index, set_keyread to TRUE
-Set the scan to INDEX scan
Call test_if_skip_sort_order second time
-Index is not chosen (note that we do not pass the
actual limit value second time. Hence we do not choose
index scan second time which in itself is a bug fixed
in 5.6 with WL#5558)
-goto filesort
Call filesort
-Create quick range on a different index
-Since keyread is set to TRUE, we fetch only the columns of
the index
-results in the required columns are not fetched
FIX:
Remove the call to set_keyread(TRUE) from
test_if_skip_sort_order. The access function which is
'join_read_first' or 'join_read_last' calls set_keyread anyways.

It turned out that the code that triggered the abort complain reported for
the bug was not needed at all.
When the function free_tmp_table deletes the handler object for
a temporary table the field TABLE::file for this table should be

Bug#13639204 64111: CRASH ON SELECT SUBQUERY WITH NON UNIQUE INDEX
The crash happened due to wrong calculation
of key length during creation of reference for
sort order index. The problem is that
keyuse->used_tables can have OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT enabled
but used_tables parameter(create_ref_for_key() func) does
not have it. So key parts which have OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT
are ommited and it could lead to incorrect key length
calculation(zero key length).
