can be specified
Currently MySQL allows one to specify what indexes to ignore during
join optimization. The scope of the current USE/FORCE/IGNORE INDEX
statement is only the FROM clause, while all other clauses are not
affected.
However, in certain cases, the optimizer
may incorrectly choose an index for sorting and/or grouping, and
produce an inefficient query plan.
This task provides the means to specify what indexes are
ignored/used for what operation in a more fine-grained manner, thus
making it possible to manually force a better plan. We do this
by extending the current IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX syntax to:
IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX [FOR {JOIN | ORDER | GROUP BY}]
so that:
- if no FOR is specified, the index hint will apply everywhere.
- if MySQL is started with the compatibility option --old_mode then
an index hint without a FOR clause works as in 5.0 (i.e, the
index will only be ignored for JOINs, but can still be used to
compute ORDER BY).
See the WL#3527 for further details.
"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.
ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good character in some locales.
This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from
being used. Now if 0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an error.
Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This solution should
serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with ',' in their enums), but
WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/
That is, mysqldump with their current server, and restore when upgrading to one with
this patch.
The crash happens because second filling of the same I_S table happens in
case of subselect with order by. table->sort.io_cache previously allocated
in create_sort_index() is deleted during second filling
(function get_schema_tables_result). There are two places where
I_S table can be filled: JOIN::exec and create_sort_index().
To fix the bug we should check if the table was already filled
in one of these places and skip processing of the table in second.
Two problems here:
Problem 1:
While constructing the join columns list the optimizer does as follows:
1. Sets the join_using_fields/natural_join members of the right JOIN
operand.
2. Makes a "table reference" (TABLE_LIST) to parent the two tables.
3. Assigns the join_using_fields/is_natural_join of the wrapper table
using join_using_fields/natural_join of the rightmost table
4. Sets join_using_fields to NULL for the right JOIN operand.
5. Passes the parent table up to the same procedure on the upper
level.
Step 1 overrides the the join_using_fields that are set for a nested
join wrapping table in step 4.
Fixed by making a designated variable SELECT_LEX::prev_join_using to
pass the data from step 1 to step 4 without destroying the wrapping
table data.
Problem 2:
The optimizer checks for ambiguous columns while transforming
NATURAL JOIN/JOIN USING to JOIN ON. While doing that there was no
distinction between columns that are used in the generated join
condition (where ambiguity can be checked) and the other columns
(where ambiguity can be checked only when resolving references
coming from outside the JOIN construct itself).
Fixed by allowing the non-USING columns to be present in multiple
copies in both sides of the join and moving the ambiguity check
to the place where unqualified references to the join columns are
resolved (find_field_in_natural_join()).
index_read(), index_read_idx(), index_read_last(), and
records_in_range() - instead of 'uint keylen' argument take
'ulonglong keypart_map', a bitmap showing which keyparts are
present in the key value.
Fallback method is provided for handlers that are lagging behind.
Removed a lot of compiler warnings
Removed not used variables, functions and labels
Initialize some variables that could be used unitialized (fatal bugs)

Having broken .frm, particulary number of field names does
not match number of fields, causes server crash.
Refuse to open a table if number of field names in a table
is not equal to number of fields in a table.
No test case, since it requires broken .frm file.
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
The reason of this valgrind's compaint is not a bug but rather a feature of bitwise ops:
for any value of the byte x
x | 1 -> 1, and x & 0 -> 0.
x, being a null_byte part of record[1] can be left unassigned even after
ha_innobase::index_read_idx because the above and still be correct.
Addding a check memory upon the invocation of the function can detect this fact
long before record[1], old record, is eventually passed to my_write.
Fixed with initialization of record[1]'s null_bytes part in open_table_from_share.
