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.
- Initialize variables that could be used uninitialized
- Added extra end space to DbugStringItemTypeValue to get rid of warnings
from c_ptr()
- Session_sysvars_tracker::update() accessed unitialized memory if called
with NULL value.
- get_schema_stat_record() accessed unitialized memory if HA_KEY_LONG_HASH
was used
- parse_vcol_defs() accessed random memory for tables without keys.
and WHERE filter afterwards
This patch complements the patch fixing the bug MDEV-6892. The latter
properly handled queries that used mergeable views returning constant
columns as inner tables of outer joins and whose where clause contained
predicates referring to these columns if the predicates of happened not
to be equality predicates. Otherwise the server still could return wrong
result sets for such queries. Besides the fix for MDEV-6892 prevented
some possible conversions of outer joins to inner joins for such queries.
This patch corrected the function check_simple_equality() to handle
properly conjunctive equalities of the where clause that refer to the
constant columns of mergeable views used as inner tables of an outer join.
The patch also changed the code of Item_direct_view_ref::not_null_tables().
This change allowed to take into account predicates containing references
to constant columns of mergeable views when converting outer joins into
inner joins.
The bug appears because not all conditions are found to be knowingly
true or false in WHERE after HAVING pushdown optimization.
Impossible WHERE can be found much earlier compared with how it is done now.
To fix it and_new_conditions_to_optimized_cond() is changed.
When pushing a condition from HAVING into WHERE the function
st_select_lex::pushdown_from_having_into_where() transforms column
references in the pushed condition then performs cleanup of
items of the condition and finally calls fix_fields() for the condition
items. The cleanup is performed by a call of the method walk() with
cleanup_processor as the first parameter. Unfortunately this sequence
of calls does not work if the condition contains cached items, because
fix_fields() cannot go through Item_cache items and this leaves
underlying items unfixed.
The solution of this problem used in this patch is just does not allow
to process Item_cache objects when performing cleanup of the pushed
condition. In order to let the traversal procedure walk() not to process
Item_cache objects the third parameter of the used call of walk()
is set to a fictitious pointer (void *) 1. And Item_cache::walk() is
changed to prevent any action when it gets such value as the third
parameter.
Temporary table is defined with the view field in HAVING.
Item_direct_view_ref for this field is dropped and that causes error.
To fix it Item_direct_view_ref::remove_item_direct_ref() is added.
This bug is caused by pushdown from HAVING into WHERE.
It appears because condition that is pushed wasn't fixed.
It is also discovered that condition pushdown from HAVING into
WHERE is done wrong. There is no need to build clones for some
conditions that can be pushed. They can be simply moved from HAVING
into WHERE without cloning.
build_pushable_cond_for_having_pushdown(),
remove_pushed_top_conjuncts_for_having() methods are changed.
It is found that there is no transformation made for fields of
pushed condition.
field_transformer_for_having_pushdown transformer is added.
New tests are added. Some comments are changed.
