The bug was that build_notnull_conds_for_range_scans() did not take into
account the join_tab is not yet sorted with constant tables first.
Fixed the bug by testing explicitely if a table is a const table.
Handle "col<>const" in the same way that MDEV-21958 did for
"col NOT IN(const-list)": do not use the condition for range/index_merge
accesses if there is a unique UNIQUE KEY(col).
The testcase is in main/range.test. The rest of test updates are
due to widespread use of 'pk<>1' in the testsuite. Changed the test
to use different but equivalent forms of the conditions.
Basic variant of the fix: do not consider conditions in form
unique_key NOT IN (c1,c2...)
to be sargable. If there are only a few constants, the condition
is not selective. If there are a lot constants, the overhead of
processing such a huge range list is not worth it.
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.
This was to remove a performance regression between 10.3 and 10.4
In 10.5 we will have a better implementation of records_in_range
that will enable us to get more statistics.
This change was not done in 10.4 because the 10.5 will be part of
a larger change that is not suitable for the GA 10.4 version
Other things:
- Changed default handler block_size to 8192 to fix things statistics
for engines that doesn't set the block size.
- Fixed a bug in spider when using multiple part const ranges
(Patch from Kentoku)
ANding of the range built from inferred NOT NULL conditions and the range
built from other conditions used in WHERE/ON clauses may produce an
IMPOSSIBLE range. The code of MDEV-15777 did not take into account this
possibility.
This patch introduces the optimization that allows range optimizer to
consider index range scans that are built employing NOT NULL predicates
inferred from WHERE conditions and ON expressions.
The patch adds a new optimizer switch not_null_range_scan.
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
value constructor shows wrong number of rows
If the specification of a derived table contained a table value constructor
then the optimizer incorrectly estimated the number of rows in the derived
table. This happened because the optimizer did not take into account the
number of rows in the constructor. The wrong estimate could lead to choosing
inefficient execution plans.
