Tests with checking metadata or that cannot be run with
the view-protocol are excluded from --view-protocol.
For tests that do not allow the use of an additional connection,
the util connection is disabled with "--disable_service_connection".
Also cases with bugs for --view-protocol are disabled.
SELECT_LEX::first_select()->join is NULL for degenerate derived tables
which are known to have just one row and so were already materialized
by the optimizer.
This commit adds a check for this.
Elimination of unnecessary tables from SQL queries is already present
in MariaDB. But it only works for regular tables and not for derived ones.
Imagine we have a view:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT a, b, max(c) AS maxc FROM t1 GROUP BY a, b
Due to "GROUP BY a, b" the values of combinations {a, b} are unique,
and this fact can be treated as like derived table "v1" has a unique key
on fields {a, b}.
Suppose we have a SQL query:
SELECT t2.* FROM t2 LEFT JOIN v1 ON t2.a=v1.a and t2.b=v1.b
1. Since {v1.a, v1.b} is unique and both these fields are bound to t2,
"v1" is functionally dependent on t2.
This means every record of "t2" will be either joined with
a single record of "v1" or NULL-complemented.
2. No fields of "v1" are present on the SELECT list
These two facts allow the server to completely exclude (eliminate)
the derived table "v1" from the query.
