Let range optimizer remove parts of OR-clauses for which range analysis
produced SEL_TREE(IMPOSSIBLE).
There is no need to remove parts of AND-clauses: either they are inside
of OR (and the whole AND-clause will be removed), or the AND-clause is
at the top level, in which case the whole WHERE (or ON) is always FALSE
and this is a degenerate case which receives special treatment.
The removal process takes care not to produce 1-way ORs (in that case
we substitute the OR for its remaining member).
- When range optimizer cannot the lookup value into [VAR]CHAR(n) column,
it should produce:
= "Impossible range" for equality
= "no range" for non-equalities.
Port to mariadb-1.0 the following fix from mysql-5.6:
Revision ID: jorgen.loland@oracle.com-20120314131055-ml54x9deueqfsff4
BUG#13701206: WHERE A>=B DOES NOT GIVE SAME EXECUTION PLAN
AS WHERE B<=A (RANGE OPTIMIZER)
that fix didn't have a public testcase, so I created one.
BNL and BNLH joins pre-filter the records from a joined table via JOIN_TAB::cache_select->cond.
There is no need to re-evaluate the same conditions via JOIN_TAB::select_cond. This patch removes
the duplicated conditions from the top-level conjuncts of each pushed condition.
The added "Using where" in few EXPLAINs is due to taking into account tab->cache_select->cond
in addition to tab->select_cond in JOIN::save_explain_data_intern.
This a an old legacy performance bug.
When a very selective range scan existed for the second table in a join,
and, at the same time, there was another range condition depending on the
fields of the first table, the optimizer chose a plan with
'Range checked for each record'. This plan was extremely inefficient in
comparison with the regular selective range scan.
As a matter of fact the range scan chosen for each record was the same as
that selective range scan.
Changed the test case for bug 24776 to preserve the old output for explain.
- Modify the way Item_cond::fix_fields() and Item_cond::eval_not_null_tables()
calculate bitmap for Item_cond_or::not_null_tables():
if they see a "... OR inexpensive_const_false_item OR ..." then the item can
be ignored.
- Updated test results. There can be more warnings produced since parts of WHERE
are evaluated more times.
from MariaDB 10.0.
The bug in mdev-3948 was an instance of the problem fixed by Sergey's patch
in 10.0 - namely that the range optimizer could change table->[read | write]_set,
and not restore it.

QUICK_ROR_SELECT's functions that care: reset(), init_ror_merged_scan(), and

it was before the call before they return.

Those are all cases where the range optimizer got it wrong
with > and >=.
mysql-test/r/range.result:
Without the code fix for DECIMAL, "select count(val) from t2 where val > 0.1155"
(which uses a range scan) returned 127 instead of 128);
Moreover, both
select * from t1 force index (primary) where a=1 and c>= 2.9;
and
select * from t1 force index (primary) where a=1 and c> 2.9;
would miss "1 1 3".
Without the code fix for strings, both
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE F1 >= 'A ';
and
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE F1 BETWEEN 'A ' AND 'AAAAA';
would miss "A A A".
sql/item.cc:
Preamble to the explanations below: opt_range.cc:get_mm_leaf() does
this (this is not changed by the patch): changes
column > value
to
column OP V
where:
* V is what is in "column" after we stored "value" in it
(such store operation may have done rounding...)
* OP is > or >=, depending on what's correct.
For example, if c is an INT column,
c > 2.9 is changed to
c OP 3
where OP is >= ('>' would not be correct).
The bugs below are cases where we chose OP wrongly.
Note that such transformations are visible in the optimizer trace.
1) Fix for STRING. In the scenario with CHAR(5) in range.test, this happens,
in get_mm_tree(), for the condition F1>='A ':
* value->save_in_field_no_warnings(field, 1) wants to store the right argument
(named 'item') into the CHAR(5) field; this stores 'A ' (the item's value)
padded with spaces (which changes nothing: still 'A ')
* we come to
case Item_func::GE_FUNC:
/* Don't use open ranges for partial key_segments */
if ((!(key_part->flag & HA_PART_KEY_SEG)) &&
(stored_field_cmp_to_item(param->thd, field, value) < 0))
tree->min_flag= NEAR_MIN;
tree->max_flag=NO_MAX_RANGE;
What this wants to do is: if the field's value is strictly smaller
than the item's, then ">=" can be changed to ">" (this is an optimization,
it can help pruning one useless partition).
* stored_field_cmp_to_item() is called; it compares the field's
and item's values: the item's value (Item_string::val_str()) is
'A ') and the field's value (Field_string::val_str()) is
'A' (yes val_str() removes end spaces unless sql_mode='PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH');
and the comparison is done with stringcmp() which considers
end spaces as relevant; as end spaces differ, function returns a
negative number, and ">='A '" becomes ">'A'" (i.e. the NEAR_MIN
flag is turned on).
During execution the index range scan code will search for "A", find
a match, but exclude it (because of ">"), wrongly.
The badness is the string comparison done by stored_field_cmp_to_item():
we use the reply of this function to determine where the index search
should start, so it should do comparison like index search does
comparisons; index search comparisons are ha_key_cmp() which uses
a collation-aware comparison (in our case, my_strnncollsp_simple(),
which ignores end spaces); so stored_field_cmp_to_item()
needs to do the same. When this is fixed, condition becomes
">='A '".
2) Fix for DECIMAL: just like in other comparisons in stored_field_cmp_to_item(),
we must first pass the field and then the item; otherwise expectations
on what <0 and >0 mean (inferiority, superiority) get violated.
In the test in range.test about c>2.9: c is an INT column, so 2.9
gets stored as 3, then stored_field_cmp_to_item() compares 3
and 2.9; because of the wrong order of arguments passed
to my_decimal_cmp(), range optimizer
thinks that 3 is < 2.9 and thus changes "c> 2.9" to "c> 3".
After fixing the order, it changes to the correct "c>= 3".
In the test in range.inc for val > 0.1155, it was changed to
val > 0.116, now it is changed to val >= 0.116.

message:
BUG#11765831: 'RANGE ACCESS' MAY INCORRECTLY FILTER
AWAY QUALIFYING ROWS
The problem was that the ranges created when OR'ing two
conditions could be incorrect. Without the bugfix,
"I <> 6 OR (I <> 8 AND J = 5)" would create these ranges:
"NULL < I < 6",
"6 <= I <= 6 AND 5 <= J <= 5",
"6 < I < 8",
"8 <= I <= 8 AND 5 <= J <= 5",
"8 < I"
While the correct ranges is
"NULL < I < 6",
"6 <= I <= 6 AND 5 <= J <= 5",
"6 < I"
The problem occurs when key_or() ORs
(1) "NULL < I < 6, 6 <= I <= 6 AND 5 <= J <= 5, 6 < I" with
(2) "8 < I AND 5 <= J <= 5"
The reason for the bug is that in key_or(), SEL_ARG *tmp is
used to point to the range in (1) above that is merged with
(2) while key1 points to the root of the red-black tree of
(1). When merging (1) and (2), tmp refers to the "6 < I"
part whereas the root is the "6 <= ... AND 5 <= J <= 5" part.
key_or() decides that the tmp range needs to be split into
"6 < I < 8, 8 <= I <= 8, 8 < I", in which next_key_part of the
second range should be that of tmp. However, next_key_part is
set to key1->next_key_part ("5 <= J <= 5") instead of
tmp->next_key_part (empty). Fixing this gives the correct but
not optimal ranges:
"NULL < I < 6",
"6 <= I <= 6 AND 5 <= J <= 5",
"6 < I < 8",
"8 <= I <= 8",
"8 < I"
A second problem can be seen above: key_or() may create
adjacent ranges that could be replaced with a single range.
Fixes for this is also included in the patch so that the range
above becomes correct AND optimal:
"NULL < I < 6",
"6 <= I <= 6 AND 5 <= J <= 5",
"6 < I"
Merging adjacent ranges like this gives a slightly lower cost
estimate for the range access.

Root cause for this bug is that the optimizer try to detect&
optimize the special case:
'<field> BETWEEN c1 AND c1' and handle this as the condition '<field> = c1'
This was implemented inside add_key_field(.. *field, *value[]...)
which assumed field to refer key Field, and value[] to refer a [low...high]
constant pair. value[0] and value[1] was then compared for equality.
In a 'normal' BETWEEN condition of the form '<field> BETWEEN val1 and val2' the
BETWEEN operation is represented with an argementlist containing the
values [<field>, val1, val2] - add_key_field() is then called with
parameters field=<field>, *value=val1.
However, if the BETWEEN predicate specified:
1) '<const1> BETWEEN<const2> AND<field>
the 'field' and 'value' arguments to add_key_field() had to be swapped.
This was implemented by trying to cheat add_key_field() to handle it like:
2) '<const1> GE<const2> AND<const1> LE<field>'
As we didn't really replace the BETWEEN operation with 'ge' and 'le',
add_key_field() still handled it as a 'BETWEEN' and compared the (swapped)
arguments<const1> and<const2> for equality. If they was equal, the
condition 1) was incorrectly 'optimized' to:
3) '<field> EQ <const1>'
This fix moves this optimization of '<field> BETWEEN c1 AND c1' into
add_key_fields() which then calls add_key_equal_fields() to collect
key equality / comparison for the key fields in the BETWEEN condition.
Queries involving predicates of the form "const NOT BETWEEN
not_indexed_column AND indexed_column" could return wrong data
due to incorrect handling by the range optimizer.
For "c NOT BETWEEN f1 AND f2" predicates, get_mm_tree()
produces a disjunction of the SEL_ARG trees for "f1 > c" and
"f2 < c". If one of the trees is empty (i.e. one of the
arguments is not sargable) the resulting tree should be empty
as well, since the whole expression in this case is not
sargable.
The above logic is implemented in get_mm_tree() as follows. The
initial state of the resulting tree is NULL (aka empty). We
then iterate through arguments and compute the corresponding
SEL_ARG tree (either "f1 > c" or "f2 < c"). If the resulting
tree is NULL, it is simply replaced by the generated
tree. Otherwise it is replaced by a disjunction of itself and
the generated tree. The obvious flaw in this implementation is
that if the first argument is not sargable and thus produces a
NULL tree, the resulting tree will simply be replaced by the
tree for the second argument. As a result, "c NOT BETWEEN f1
AND f2" will end up as just "f2 < c".
Fixed by adding a check so that when the first argument
produces an empty tree for the NOT BETWEEN case, the loop is
aborted with an empty tree as a result. The whole idea of using
a loop for 2 arguments does not make much sense, but it was
probably used to avoid code duplication for several BETWEEN
variants.
