The optimizer pre-calculates the MIN/MAX values for queries like
SELECT MIN(kp_k) WHERE kp_1 = const AND ... AND kp_k-1 = const
when there is a key over kp_1...kp_k
In doing so it was not checking correctly nullability and
there was a superfluous assert().
Fixed by making sure that the field can be null before checking and
taking out the wrong assert().
.
Introduced a correct check for nullability
The MIN(field) can return NULL when all the row values in the group
are NULL-able or if there were no rows.
Fixed the assertion to reflect the case when there are no rows.
to NULL
For queries of the form SELECT MIN(key_part_k) FROM t1
WHERE key_part_1 = const and ... and key_part_k-1 = const,
the opt_sum_query optimization tries to
use an index to substitute MIN/MAX functions with their values according
to the following rules:
1) Insert the minimum non-null values where the WHERE clause still matches, or
3) A row of nulls
However, the correct semantics requires that there is a third case 2)
such that a NULL value is substituted if there are only NULL values for
key_part_k.
The patch modifies opt_sum_query() to handle this missing case.
Made the function opt_sum_query to return HA_ERR_KEY_NOT_FOUND when
no matches were found (instead of -1 it returned prior this patch).
This changes allow us to avoid possible conflicts with return values
from user-defined handler methods which also may return -1.
No particular test cases are provided with this fix.
Treat queries with no FROM and aggregate functions as normal queries,
so the aggregate function get correctly calculated as if there is 1 row.
This means that they will be considered to have one row, so COUNT(*) will return
1 instead of 0. Other aggregates will behave in compatible manner.
functions in queries
Using MAX()/MIN() on table with disabled indexes (by ALTER TABLE)
results in error 124 (wrong index) from storage engine.
The problem was that optimizer use disabled index to optimize
MAX()/MIN(). Normally it must skip disabled index and perform
table scan.
This patch skips disabled indexes for min/max optimization.
The bug report revealed two problems related to min/max optimization:
1. If the length of a constant key used in a SARGable condition for
for the MIN/MAX fields is greater than the length of the field an
unwanted warning on key truncation is issued;
2. If MIN/MAX optimization is applied to a partial index, like INDEX(b(4))
than can lead to returning a wrong result set.
The code in opt_sum_query that prevented the COUNT/MIN/MAX
optimization from being applied to outer joins was not adjusted
after introducing nested joins. As a result if an outer join
contained a reference to a view as an inner table the code of
opt_sum_query missed the presence of an on expressions and
erroneously applied the mentioned optimization.
The problem was in that the MIN/MAX optimization in opt_sum_query was
replacing MIN/MAX functions with their constant argument without
taking into account that a query has no result rows.
Logging to logging@openlogging.org accepted
func_group.result, func_group.test:
Added a test case for bug #8893.
opt_sum.cc:
A misplaced initialization for the returned parameter
prefix_len in the function find_key_for_maxmin caused
usage of a wrong key prefix by the min/max optimization
in cases when the matching index was not the first index
that contained the min/max field.
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
