Queries with nested joins could cause an infinite loop in the
server when used from SP/PS.
When flattening nested joins, simplify_joins() tracks if the
name resolution list needs to be updated by setting
fix_name_res to TRUE if the current loop iteration has done any
transformations to the join table list. The problem was that
the flag was not reset before the next loop iteration leading
to unnecessary "fixing" of the name resolution list which in
turn could lead to a loop (i.e. circularly-linked part) in that
list. This was causing problems on subsequent execution when
used together with stored procedures or prepared statements.
Fixed by making sure fix_name_res is reset on every loop
iteration.

The server could crash after materializing a derived table
which requires a temporary table for grouping.
When destroying the temporary table used to execute a query for
a derived table, JOIN::destroy() did not clean up Item_fields
pointing to fields in the temporary table. This led to
dereferencing a dangling pointer when printing out the items
tree later in the outer SELECT.
The solution is an addendum to the patch for bug37362: in
addition to cleaning up items in tmp_all_fields3, do the same
for items in tmp_all_fields1, since now we have an example
where this is necessary.
The problem was in an incorrect debug assertion. The expression
used in the failing assertion states that when finding
references matching ORDER BY expressions, there can be only one
reference to a single table. But that does not make any sense,
all test cases for this bug are valid examples with multiple
identical WHERE expressions referencing the same table which
are also present in the ORDER BY list.
Fixed by removing the failing assertion. We also have to take
care of the 'found' counter so that we count multiple
references only once. We rely on this fact later in
eq_ref_table().
The crash is the result of an attempt made by JOIN::optimize to evaluate
the WHERE condition when no records have been actually read.
The fix is to remove erroneous 'outer_join' variable check.
The crash happens because greedy_serach
can not determine best plan due to
wrong inner table dependences. These
dependences affects join table sorting
which performs before greedy_search starting.
In our case table which has real 'no dependences'
should be put on top of the list but it does not
happen as inner tables have no dependences as well.
The fix is to exclude RAND_TABLE_BIT mask from
condition which checks if table dependences
should be updated.

The problem becomes apparent only if HAVE_purify is undefined.
It related to the part of code placed in open_table_from_share() fuction
where we initialize record buffer only if HAVE_purify is enabled.
So in case of HAVE_purify=OFF record buffer is not initialized
on open table stage.
Next we read key, find NULL value and update appropriate null bit
but do not update record buffer. After that the record is stored
in the join cache(store_record_in_cache). For CHAR fields we
strip trailing spaces and in our case this procedure uses
uninitialized record buffer.
The fix is to skip stripping space procedure in case of null values
for CHAR fields(partially based on 6.0 JOIN_CACHE implementation).
Queries with nested outer joins may lead to crashes or
bad results because an internal data structure is not handled
correctly.
The optimizer uses bitmaps of nested JOINs to determine
if certain table can be placed at a certain place in the
JOIN order.
It does maintain a bitmap describing in which JOINs
last placed table is nested.
When it puts a table it makes sure the bit of every JOIN that
contains the table in question is set (because JOINs can be nested).
It does that by recursively setting the bit for the next enclosing
JOIN when this is the first table in the JOIN and recursively
resetting the bit if it's the last table in the JOIN.
When it removes a table from the join order it should do the
opposite : recursively unset the bit if it's the only remaining
table in this join and and recursively set the bit if it's removing
the last table of a JOIN.
There was an error in how the bits was set for the upper levels :
when removing a table it was setting the bit for all the enclosing
nested JOINs even if there were more tables left in the current JOIN
(which practically means that the upper nested JOINs were not affected).
Fixed by stopping the recursion at the relevant level.
The bug is not related to MERGE table or TRIGGER. More correct description
would be 'assertion on multi-table UPDATE + NATURAL JOIN + MERGEABLE VIEW'.
On PREPARE stage(see test case) we call mark_common_columns() func which
creates ON condition for NATURAL JOIN and sets appropriate
table read_set bitmaps for fields which are used in ON condition.
On EXECUTE stage mark_common_columns() is not called, we set
necessary read_set bitmaps in setup_conds(). But 'B.f1' field
is already processed and related item alredy fixed before
setup_conds() as updated field and setup_conds can not set
read_set bitmap because of that.
The fix is to set read_set bitmap for appropriate table field even
if Item_direct_view_ref item which represents a refernce to this field
is fixed.
Machines with hostname set to "localhost" cause uniqueness errors in
the SQL bootstrap data.
Now, insert zero lines for cases where the (lowercased) hostname is
the same as an already-inserted 'localhost' name. Also, fix a few tests
that expect certain local accounts to have a certain host name.
A rule was introduced by the 5.1 part of the fix for bug 27531 to
prefer filesort over indexed ORDER BY when accessing all of the rows of a
table (because it's faster). This new rule was not accounting for the
presence of a LIMIT clause.
Fixed the condition for this rule so it will prefer filesort over
indexed ORDER BY only if no LIMIT.
When checking for applicability of join cache
we must disable its usage only if there is no
temp table in use.
When a temp table is used we can use join
cache (and it will not make the result-set
unordered) to fill the temp table. The filesort()
operation is then applied to the data in the temp
table and hence is not affected by join cache
usage.
Fixed by narrowing the condition for disabling
join cache to exclude the case where temp table
is used.
aliases ignored
When a column reference to a column in JOIN USING is resolved and a new
Item is created for this column the user defined name was lost.
This fix preserves the alias by setting the name of the new Item to the
original alias.
(Mostly in DBUG_PRINT() and unused arguments)

condition is applied),
- Make the join optimizer use this value,
- Add "filtered" column to EXPLAIN EXTENDED to show
fraction of records left after table condition is applied
- Adjust test results, add comments

Problem:
There was a wrong context assigned to the columns that were added in insert_fields()
when expanding a '*'. When this is done in a prepared statement it causes
fix_fields() to fail to find the table that these columns reference.
Actually the right context is set in setup_natural_join_row_types() called at the
end of setup_tables(). However when executed in a context of a prepared statement
setup_tables() resets the context, but setup_natural_join_row_types() was not
setting it to the correct value assuming it has already done so.
Solution:
The top-most, left-most NATURAL/USING join must be set as a
first_name_resolution_table in context even when operating on prepared statements.
The cause of this bug was a design flaw due to which the list of natural
join columns was incorrectly computed and stored for nested joins that
are not natural joins, but are operands (possibly indirect) of nested joins.
The patch corrects the flaw in a such a way, that the result columns of a
table reference are materialized only if it is a leaf table (that is, only
if it is a view, stored table, or natural/using join).
The cause of the bug was an ASSERT that checked the consistency
of TABLE_SHARE::db and TABLE_LIST::db and failed for I_S tables.
The fix relaxes the requirement for consistency for I_S.
* Provide backwards compatibility extension to name resolution of
coalesced columns. The patch allows such columns to be qualified
with a table (and db) name, as it is in 4.1.
Based on a patch from Monty.
* Adjusted tests accordingly to test both backwards compatible name
resolution of qualified columns, and ANSI-style resolution of
non-qualified columns.
For this, each affected test has two versions - one with qualified
columns, and one without.
- Corrected problem with N-way nested natural joins in PS mode.
- Code cleanup
- More asserts to check consistency of name resolution contexts
- Fixed potential memory leak of name resolution contexts
"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
- in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
- natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
for any number/nesting of the joins.
- column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
name resolution contexts used at parse time.
NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
- there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
- it does not include a new test specific for the task
