if a query used no fields from an I_S table, we were creating a temp
table with one, first, field (as a table cannot have zero fields),
with its length truncated to 1.
Now - force also this dummy field to be a normal field, not a BLOB
Make sure to initialize members of TABLE::reginfo when TABLE::init is called. In this case the problem
was that table->reginfo.join_tab was set for the SELECT query and then was reused by the UPDATE query.
This case occurred only when the SELECT query had a degenerate join.
KEY_MULTI_RANGE::range_flag does not have correct flag bits for
per-endpoint flags (NEAR_MIN, NEAR_MAX, NO_MIN_RANGE, NO_MAX_RANGE).
It only has bits for flags that describe both endpoints.
So
- Document this.
- Switch optimizer trace to using {start|end}_key.flag values, instead.
This fixes the bug.
- Switch records_in_column_ranges() to doing that too. (This used to
work, because KEY_MULTI_RANGE::range_flag had correct flag value
for the last key component, and EITS only uses one-component
pseudo-indexes)
Introduced a print_key_value function to makes sure that the trace prints data in readable format
for readable characters and the rest of the characters are printed as hexadecimal.
Changed the function append_range_all_keyparts to use sel_arg_range_seq_init / sel_arg_range_seq_next to produce ranges.
Also adjusted to print format for the ranges, now the ranges are printed as:
(keypart1_min, keypart2_min,..) OP (keypart1_name,keypart2_name, ..) OP (keypart1_max,keypart2_max, ..)
Also added more tests for range and index merge access for optimizer trace
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.
