Problematic query:
insert ignore into `t1_federated` (`c1`) select `c1` from `t1_local` a
where not exists (select 1 from `t1_federated` b where a.c1 = b.c1);
When this query is killed in another connection it could lead to crash.
The problem is follwing:
An attempt to obtain table statistics for subselect table in killed query
fails with an error. So JOIN::optimize() for subquery is failed but
it does not prevent further subquery evaluation.
At the first subquery execution JOIN::optimize() is called
(see subselect_single_select_engine::exec()) and fails with
an error. 'executed' flag is set to TRUE and it prevents
further subquery evaluation. At the second call
JOIN::optimize() does not happen as 'JOIN::optimized' is TRUE
and in case of uncacheable subquery the 'executed' flag is set
to FALSE before subquery evaluation. So we loose 'optimize stage'
error indication (see subselect_single_select_engine::exec()).
In other words 'executed' flag is used for two purposes, for
error indication at JOIN::optimize() stage and for an
indication of subquery execution. And it seems it's wrong
as the flag could be reset.

We have several modes when we should disable subquery evaluation.
The reasons for disabling are different. It could be
uselessness of the evaluation as in case of 'CREATE VIEW'
or 'PREPARE stmt', or we should disable subquery evaluation
if tables are not locked yet as it happens in bug#54475, or
too early evaluation of subqueries can lead to wrong result
as it happened in Bug#19077.
Main problem is that if subquery items are treated as const
they are evaluated in ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
of the parental items as a lot of these methods have
Item::val_...() calls inside.
We have to make subqueries non-const to prevent unnecessary
subquery evaluation. At the moment we have different methods
for this. Here is a list of these modes:
1. PREPARE stmt;
We use UNCACHEABLE_PREPARE flag.
It is set during parsing in sql_parse.cc, mysql_new_select() for
each SELECT_LEX object and cleared at the end of PREPARE in
sql_prepare.cc, init_stmt_after_parse(). If this flag is set
subquery becomes non-const and evaluation does not happen.
2. CREATE|ALTER VIEW, SHOW CREATE VIEW, I_S tables which
process FRM files
We use LEX::view_prepare_mode field. We set it before
view preparation and check this flag in
::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec().
Some bugs are fixed using this approach,
some are not(Bug#57352, Bug#57703). The problem here is
that we have a lot of ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
where we use Item::val_...() calls for const items.
3. Derived tables with subquery = wrong result(Bug19077)
The reason of this bug is too early subquery evaluation.
It was fixed by adding Item::with_subselect field
The check of this field in appropriate places prevents
const item evaluation if the item have subquery.
The fix for Bug19077 fixes only the problem with
convert_constant_item() function and does not cover
other places(::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec() again)
where subqueries could be evaluated.
Example:
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT, j BIGINT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2);
SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(i) FROM t1
WHERE j = SUBSTRING('12', (SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(j) FROM t1) t2))) t3;
DROP TABLE t1;
4. Derived tables with subquery where subquery
is evaluated before table locking(Bug#54475, Bug#52157)
Suggested solution is following:
-Introduce new field LEX::context_analysis_only with the following
possible flags:
#define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_PREPARE 1
#define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_VIEW 2
#define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_DERIVED 4
-Set/clean these flags when we perform
context analysis operation
-Item_subselect::const_item() returns
result depending on LEX::context_analysis_only.
If context_analysis_only is set then we return
FALSE that means that subquery is non-const.
As all subquery types are wrapped by Item_subselect
it allow as to make subquery non-const when
it's necessary.
We should disable const subselect item evaluation because
subselect transformation does not happen in view_prepare_mode
and thus val_...() methods can not be called.
This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h
MySQL manual describes values of the YEAR(2) field type as follows:
values 00 - 69 mean 2000 - 2069 years and values 70 - 99 mean 1970 - 1999
years. MIN/MAX and comparison functions was comparing them as int values
thus producing wrong result.
Now the Arg_comparator class is extended with compare_year function which
performs correct comparison of the YEAR type.
The Item_sum_hybrid class now uses Item_cache and Arg_comparator objects to
correctly calculate its value.
To allow Arg_comparator to use func_name() function for Item_func and Item_sum
objects the func_name declaration is moved to the Item_result_field class.
A helper function is_owner_equal_func is added to the Arg_comparator class.
It checks whether the Arg_comparator object owner is the <=> function or not.
A helper function setup is added to the Item_sum_hybrid class. It sets up
cache item and comparator.
between 5.0 and 5.1.
The problem was that in the patch for Bug#11986 it was decided
to store original query in UTF8 encoding for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
This approach however turned out to be quite difficult to implement
properly. The main problem is to preserve the same IS-output after
dump/restore.
So, the fix is to rollback to the previous functionality, but also
to fix it to support multi-character-set-queries properly. The idea
is to generate INFORMATION_SCHEMA-query from the item-tree after
parsing view declaration. The IS-query should:
- be completely in UTF8;
- not contain character set introducers.
For more information, see WL4052.
Item_in_subselect's only externally callable method is val_bool().
However the nullability in the wrapper class (Item_in_optimizer) is
established by calling the "forbidden" method val_int().
Fixed to use the correct method (val_bool() ) to establish nullability
of Item_in_subselect in Item_in_optimizer.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
conditions when executing an equijoin query with WHERE condition
containing a subquery predicate of the form join_attr NOT IN (SELECT ...).
To resolve a problem of the correct evaluation of the expression
attr NOT IN (SELECT ...)
an array of guards is created to make it possible to filter out some
predicates of the EXISTS subquery into which the original subquery
predicate is transformed, in the cases when a takes the NULL value.
If attr is defined as a field that cannot be NULL than such an array
is not needed and is not created.
However if the field a occurred also an an equijoin predicate t2.a=t1.b
and table t1 is accessed before table t2 then it may happen that the
the EXISTS subquery is pushed down to the condition evaluated just after
table t1 has been accessed. In this case any occurrence of t2.a is
substituted for t1.b. When t1.b takes the value of NULL an attempt is
made to turn on the corresponding guard. This action caused a crash as
no guard array had been created.
Now the code of Item_in_subselect::set_cond_guard_var checks that the guard
array has been created before setting a guard variable on. Otherwise the
method does nothing. It cannot results in returning a row that could be
rejected as the condition t2.a=t1.b will be checked later anyway.
Before this fix, a IN predicate of the form: "IN (( subselect ))", with two
parenthesis, would be evaluated as a single row subselect: if the subselect
returns more that 1 row, the statement would fail.
The SQL:2003 standard defines a special exception in the specification,
and mandates that this particular form of IN predicate shall be equivalent
to "IN ( subselect )", which involves a table subquery and works with more
than 1 row.
This fix implements "IN (( subselect ))", "IN ((( subselect )))" etc
as per the SQL:2003 requirement.
All the details related to the implementation of this change have been
commented in the code, and the relevant sections of the SQL:2003 spec
are given for reference, so they are not repeated here.
Having access to the spec is a requirement to review in depth this patch.
- Make the code produce correct result: use an array of triggers to turn on/off equalities for each
compared column. Also turn on/off optimizations based on those equalities.
- Make EXPLAIN output show "Full scan on NULL key" for tables for which we switch between
ref/unique_subquery/index_subquery and ALL access.
- index_subquery engine now has HAVING clause when it is needed, and it is
displayed in EXPLAIN EXTENDED
- Fix incorrect presense of "Using index" for index/unique-based subqueries (BUG#22930)
// bk trigger note: this commit refers to BUG#24127

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
When implicitly converting string fields to numbers the
string-to-number conversion error was not sent to the client.
Added code to send the conversion error as warning.
We also need to prevent generation of warnings from the places
where val_xxx() methods are called for the sole purpose of updating
the Item::null_value flag.
To achieve that a special function is added (and called) :
update_null_value(). This function will set the no_errors flag and
will call val_xxx(). The warning generation in Field_string::val_xxx()
will use the flag when generating the conversion warnings.
- When returning metadata for scalar subqueries the actual type of the
column was calculated based on the value type, which limits the actual
type of a scalar subselect to the set of (currently) 3 basic types :
integer, double precision or string. This is the reason that columns
of types other then the basic ones (e.g. date/time) are reported as
being of the corresponding basic type.
Fixed by storing/returning information for the column type in addition
to the result type.
