For a unique key if all the keyparts are NOT NULL or the predicates involving
the keyparts is NULL rejecting, then we can use EQ_REF access instead of ref
access with the unique key
[Variant 2 of the fix: collect the attached conditions]
Problem:
make_join_select() has a section of code which starts with
"We plan to scan all rows. Check again if we should use an index."
the code in that section will [unnecessarily] re-run the range
optimizer using this condition:
condition_attached_to_current_table AND current_table's_ON_expr
Note that the original invocation of range optimizer in
make_join_statistics was done using the whole select's WHERE condition.
Taking the whole select's WHERE condition and using multiple-equalities
allowed the range optimizer to infer more range restrictions.
The fix:
- Do range optimization using a condition that is an AND of this table's
condition and all of the previous tables' conditions.
- Also, fix the range optimizer to prefer SEL_ARGs with type=KEY_RANGE
over SEL_ARGS with type=MAYBE_KEY, regardless of the key part.
Computing
key_and(
SEL_ARG(type=MAYBE_KEY key_part=1),
SEL_ARG(type=KEY_RANGE, key_part=2)
)
will now produce the SEL_ARG with type=KEY_RANGE.
This patch corrects the fix of the patch for mdev-19421 that resolved
the problem of parsing some embedded join expressions such as
t1 join t2 left join t3 on t2.a=t3.a on t1.a=t2.a.
Yet the patch contained a bug that prevented proper context analysis
of the queries where such expressions were used together with comma
separated table references in from clauses.
Change the defaults:
-histogram_size=0
+histogram_size=254
-histogram_type=SINGLE_PREC_HB
+histogram_type=DOUBLE_PREC_HB
Adjust the testcases:
- Some have ignorable changes in EXPLAIN outputs and
more counter increments due to EITS table reads.
- Testcases that meaningfully depend on the old defaults
are changed to use the old values.
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
