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.
1. Always drop merged_for_insert flag on cleanup (there could be errors which prevent TABLE to be assigned)
2. Make more precise cleanup of select parts which was touched
st_select_lex::handle_derived() and mysql_handle_list_of_derived() had
exactly the same implementations.
- Adding a new method LEX::handle_list_of_derived() instead
- Removing public function mysql_handle_list_of_derived()
- Reusing LEX::handle_list_of_derived() in st_select_lex::handle_derived()
The bug manifested itself when executing a query with materialized
view/derived/CTE whose specification was a SELECT query contained
another materialized derived and impossible WHERE/HAVING condition
was detected for this SELECT.
As soon as such condition is detected the join structures of all
derived tables used in the SELECT are destroyed. So optimization
of the queries specifying these derived tables is impossible. Besides
it's not needed.
In 10.3 optimization of a materialized derived table is performed before
detection of impossible WHERE/HAVING condition in the embedding SELECT.
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.
This task involves the implementation for the optimizer trace.
This feature produces a trace for any SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/,
which contains information about decisions taken by the optimizer during
the optimization phase (choice of table access method, various costs,
transformations, etc). This feature would help to tell why some decisions were
taken by the optimizer and why some were rejected.
Trace is session-local, controlled by the @@optimizer_trace variable.
To enable optimizer trace we need to write:
set @@optimizer_trace variable= 'enabled=on';
To display the trace one can run:
SELECT trace FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
This task also involves:
MDEV-18489: Limit the memory used by the optimizer trace
introduces a switch optimizer_trace_max_mem_size which limits
the memory used by the optimizer trace. This was implemented by
Sergei Petrunia.

Interfaces + Proof of Concept for federatedx with test cases.
The interfaces have been developed for integration of ColumnStore engine.
This problem manifested itself when a join query used two or more
materialized CTE such that each of them employed the same recursive CTE.
The bug caused a crash. The crash happened because the cleanup()
function was performed premature for recursive CTE. This clean up was
induced by the cleanup of the first CTE referenced the recusrsive CTE.
This cleanup destroyed the structures that would allow to read from the
temporary table containing the rows of the recursive CTE and an attempt to read
these rows for the second CTE referencing the recursive CTE triggered a
crash.
The clean up for a recursive CTE R should be performed after the cleanup
of the last materialized CTE that uses R.
The problem described in the bug report happened because the code
did not test check_cols(1) after fix_fields() in a few places.
Additionally, fix_fields() could be called multiple times for SP variables,
because they are all fixed at a early stage in append_for_log().
Solution:
1. Adding a few helper methods
- fix_fields_if_needed()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_scalar()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_bool()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_order_by()
and using it in many cases instead of fix_fields() where
the "fixed" status is not definitely known to be "false".
2. Adding DBUG_ASSERT(!fixed) into Item_splocal*::fix_fields()
to catch double execution.
3. Adding tests.
As a good side effect, the patch removes a lot of duplicate code (~60 lines):
if (!item->fixed &&
item->fix_fields(..) &&
item->check_cols(1))
return true;
The logic and the implementation scheme are similar with the
MDEV-9197 Pushdown conditions into non-mergeable views/derived tables
How the push down is made on the example:
select * from t1
where a>3 and b>10 and
(a,b) in (select x,max(y) from t2 group by x);
-->
select * from t1
where a>3 and b>10 and
(a,b) in (select x,max(y)
from t2
where x>3
group by x
having max(y)>10);
The implementation scheme:
1. Search for the condition cond that depends only on the fields
from the left part of the IN subquery (left_part)
2. Find fields F_group in the select of the right part of the
IN subquery (right_part) that are used in the GROUP BY
3. Extract from the cond condition cond_where that depends only on the
fields from the left_part that stay at the same places in the left_part
(have the same indexes) as the F_group fields in the projection of the
right_part
4. Transform cond_where so it can be pushed into the WHERE clause of the
right_part and delete cond_where from the cond
5. Transform cond so it can be pushed into the HAVING clause of the right_part
The optimization is made in the
Item_in_subselect::pushdown_cond_for_in_subquery() and is controlled by the
variable condition_pushdown_for_subquery.
New test file in_subq_cond_pushdown.test is created.
There are also some changes made for setup_jtbm_semi_joins().
Now it is decomposed into the 2 procedures: setup_degenerate_jtbm_semi_joins()
that is called before optimize_cond() for cond and setup_jtbm_semi_joins()
that is called after optimize_cond().
New setup_jtbm_semi_joins() is made in the way so that the result of its work is
the same as if it was called before optimize_cond().
The code that is common for pushdown into materialized derived and into materialized
IN subqueries is factored out into pushdown_cond_for_derived(),
Item_in_subselect::pushdown_cond_for_in_subquery() and
st_select_lex::pushdown_cond_into_where_clause().
Make sure that SELECT_LEX_UNIT::derived, behaves as documented
(points to the "TABLE_LIST representing this union in the
embedding select"). For recursive CTE this was not necessarily
the case, it could've pointed to the TABLE_LIST inside the CTE,
not in the embedding select.
To fix:
* don't update unit->derived in mysql_derived_prepare(), pass derived
as an argument to st_select_lex_unit::prepare()
* prefer to set unit->derived in TABLE_LIST::init_derived()
to the TABLE_LIST in the embedding select, not to the recursive
reference. Fail if there are many TABLE_LISTs in the embedding
select with conflicting FOR SYSTEM_TIME clauses.
cleanup:
* remove redundant THD* argument from st_select_lex_unit::prepare()
is not supported
Allowed to use recursive references in derived tables.
As a result usage of recursive references in operands of
INTERSECT / EXCEPT is now supported.
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
