Analysis:
This bug consists of two related problems that are
result of too early evaluation of single-row subqueries
during the optimization phase of the outer query.
Several optimizer code paths try to evaluate single-row
subqueries in order to produce a constant and use that
constant for further optimzation.
When the execution of the subquery peforms destructive
changes to the representation of the subquery, and these
changes are not anticipated by the subsequent optimization
phases of the outer query, we tipically get a crash or
failed assert.
Specifically, in this bug the inner-most suqbuery with
DISTINCT triggers a substitution of the original JOIN
object by a single-table JOIN object with a temp table
needed to perform the DISTINCT operation (created by
JOIN::make_simple_join).
This substitution breaks EXPLAIN because:
a) in the first example JOIN::cleanup no longer can
reach the original table of the innermost subquery, and
close all indexes, and
b) in this second test query, EXPLAIN attempts to print
the name of the internal temp table, and crashes because
the temp table has no name (NULL pointer instead).
Solution:
a) fully disable subquery evaluation during optimization
in all cases - both for constant propagation and range
optimization, and
b) change JOIN::join_free() to perform cleanup irrespective
of EXPLAIN or not.
When looking for the execution plan of a derived table to be materialized
JOIN::optimize finds out that all joined tables of the derived table
contain not more than one row then the derived table should be maretialized
at the optimization stage.
Added a test case for the bug.
Adjusted results in other test cases.
A lot of small fixes and new test cases.

set_timespec_time_nsec() now only takes one argument
mysql-test/t/date_formats.test:
Remove --disable_ps_protocl as now also ps supports microseconds
mysys/my_uuid.c:

sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
Don't call convert_constant_item() if there is nothing that is worth converting.
Simplified test when years should be converted

Resolved all conflicts, bad merges and fixed a few minor bugs in the code.
Commented out the queries from multi_update, view, subselect_sj, func_str,
derived_view, view_grant that failed either with crashes in ps-protocol or
with wrong results.
The failures are clear indications of some bugs in the code and these bugs
are to be fixed.
Analysis:
The subquery is evaluated first during ref-optimization of the outer
query because the subquery is considered constant from the perspective
of the outer query. Thus an attempt is made to evaluate the MAX subquery
and use the new constant to drive an index nested loops join.
During this evaluation the inner-most subquery replaces the JOIN_TAB
with a new one that fetches the data from a temp table.
The function select_describe crashes at the lines:
TABLE_LIST *real_table= table->pos_in_table_list;
item_list.push_back(new Item_string(real_table->alias,
strlen(real_table->alias),
cs));
because 'table' is a temp table, and it has no corresponding table
reference. This 'real_table' is NULL, and real_table->alias results
in a crash.
Solution:
In the spirit of MWL#89 prevent the evaluation of expensive predicates
during optimization. This patch prevents the evaluation of expensive
predicates during ref optimization.
sql/item_subselect.h:
Remove unused class member. Not needed for the fix, but noticed now and removed.
- In eliminate_item_equal(), we could end up in a situation where:
= The multiple equality has a constant C1 (and so it is the "head item")
= The join order was such that we've generated "sj_inner_table1=C1" equality,
and now are looking to generate "sj_inner_table2_=..." equality.
When looking for what should be the other member of equality, we run
Item *head_item= current_sjm? current_sjm_head: head;
which sees current_sjm!=NULL, and takes current_sjm_head (which is NULL because
the constant C1 is the head for all cases).
- Fixed in a trivial way: take current_sjm_head if we don't have constant.
The third parameter in the call of make_cond_for_table() that
built the pushed condition containing only outer references
was incorrect. This condition appeared for the first time in
the patch fixing bug 729039.

Analysis:
The wrong result is a consquence of sorting the subquery
result and then selecting only the first row due to the
artificial LIMIT 1 introduced by the fix_fields phase.
Normally, if there is an ORDER BY in a subquery, the ORDER
is removed (Item_in_subselect::select_in_like_transformer),
however if a GROUP BY is transformed into ORDER, this happens
later, after the removal of the ORDER clause of subqueries, so
we end up with a subquery with an ORDER clause, and an artificially
added LIMIT 1.
The reason why the same works in the main 5.3 without MWL#89, is
that the 5.3 performs all subquery transformations, including
IN->EXISTS before JOIN::optimize(). The beginning of JOIN::optimize
does:
if (having || (select_options & OPTION_FOUND_ROWS))
select_limit= HA_POS_ERROR;
which sets the limit back to infinity, thus 5.3 sorts the whole
subquery result, and IN performs the lookup into all subquery result
rows.
Solution:
Sorting of subqueries without LIMIT is meaningless. Since LIMIT in
subqueries is not supported, the patch removes sorting by setting
join->skip_sort_order= true
for each subquery JOIN object. This improves a number of execution
plans to not perform unnecessary sorting at all.
- Let advance_sj_state() save the value of JOIN::cur_dups_producing_tables
in POSITION::prefix_dups_producing_tables, and restore_sj_state() restore
it.
If join condition is of the form <t2.key>=<t1.no_key> then the server
performs no index look-ups when looking for matching rows of t2 for
the rows from t1 with t1.no_key=NULL. It happens because the function
add_not_null_conds() injects an additional condition of the form
IS NOT NULL(<t1.no_key>) into the WHERE condition.
However if the join condition was of the form <t.key>=<outer_ref> no
additional null rejecting predicate was generated. This could lead
to extra records in the result set if the value of <outer_ref> happened
to be NULL.
The new code injects null rejecting predicates of the form
IS NOT NULL(<outer_ref>) and evaluates them before the first row
the subquery is constructed.
- put the code that sets HA_NULL_PART bit back
- Fix test_if_ref/part_of_refkey() so that
= NULL-ability of lookup columns does not prevent the equality
from being removed (we now have early/late NULLs filtering which
will filter out NULL values)
= equality is not removed if it is ref_or_null access, and the value
of the lookup column can alternate between the lookup value and NULL.

Bug#52068: Optimizer generates invalid semijoin materialization plan
When MaterializeScan semijoin strategy was used and there were one
or more outer dependent tables before the semijoin tables, the scan
over the materialized table was not properly reset for each row of
the prefix outer tables.
Example: suppose we have a join order:
ot1 SJ-Mat-Scan(it2 it3) ot4
Notice that this is called a MaterializeScan, even though there is an
outer table ahead of the materialized tables. Usually a MaterializeScan
has the outer tables after the materialized table, but this is
a special (but legal) case with outer dependent tables both before and
after the materialized table.
For each qualifying row from ot1, a new scan over the materialized
table must be set up. The code failed to do that, so all scans after
the first one returned zero rows from the materialized table.
- Fixed problem with oqgraph and 'make dist'
Note that after this merge we have a problem show in join_outer where we examine too many rows in one specific case (related to BUG#57024).
This will be fixed when mwl#128 is merged into 5.3.
- Let "mysqld --help --verbose" list all optimizer options
- Make it possible to add new @@optimizer_switch flags w/o causing .result
changes all over the testsuite:

= Move @@optimizer_switch-specific tests to t/optimizer_switch.test

5.3 had
handler::index_only_read_time(uint keynr, double records)
while 5.2 got:
handler::keyread_read_time(uint index, uint ranges, ha_rows rows)
which causes floor()'ing of rows parameter, which makes all further costs different.
This patch does three things:
- It adds the possibility to force the execution of top-level [NOT] IN
subquery predicates via the IN=>EXISTS transformation. This is done by
setting both optimizer switches partial_match_rowid_merge and
partial_match_table_scan to "off".
- It adjusts all test cases where the complete optimizer_switch is
selected because now we have two more switches.
- For those test cases where the plan changes because of the new available
strategies, we switch off both partial match strategies in order to
force the "old" IN=>EXISTS strategy. This is done because most of these
test cases specifically test bugs in this strategy.
