When a non-nullable datetime field is used under an IS NULL predicate
of the WHERE condition in a query with outer joins the remove_eq_conds
function should check whether this field belongs to an inner table
of any outer join that can be, in a general case, a nested outer join.
When in function remove_eq_conds() a sub-formula of the processed condition
is replaced for another formula we should ensure that in the resulting
formula AND/OR levels must alternate.
The patch to fix mdev-4418 turned out to be incorrect.
At the substitution of single row tables in make_join_statistics()
the used multiple equalities may change and references to the new multiple
equalities must be updated. The function remove_eq_conds() takes care of it and
it should be called right after the substitution of single row tables.
Calling it after the call of make_join_statistics was a mistake.
Analysis:
The cause of the valgrind warning was an attempt to evaluate a Field that was not yet read.
The reason was that on one hand Item_func_isnotnull was marked as constant by
Item_func_isnotnull::update_used_tables, and this allowed eval_const_cond() to be called.
On the other hand Item_func_isnotnull::val_int() evaluated its argument as if it was not
constant.
Solution:
The fix make sure that Item_func_isnotnull::val_int() doesn't evaluate its argument when
it is constant and cannot be NULL, because the result is known in this case.
After single row substitutions there might appear new equalities.
They should be properly propagated to all AND/OR levels the WHERE
condition. It's done now with an additional call of remove_eq_conds().
This patch almost totally revised the patch for bug mdev-4177.
The latter had too many defects. In particular, it did not
propagate multiple equalities formed when merging a degenerate
disjunct into underlying AND formula.
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.
MDEV-4812 Valgrind warnings (Invalid write) in dynamic_column_update_many on COLUMN_ADD
Fixed problem of working on wrong data (do not allow offset to out of string length).
MDEV-4643 MariaDB crashes consistently when trying a SELECT on VIEW with a UNION and an additional JOIN in SELECT
open derived temp tables *before* trying QUICK_SELECT for them,
handler::multi_range_read_info() needs an open table.
Cleanup: remove TIME_FUZZY_DATE.
Introduce TIME_FUZZY_DATES which means "very fuzzy, the resulting
value is only used for comparison. It can be invalid date, fine, as long as it can be
compared".
Updated many tests results (they're better now).
Item_func_min_max::get_date() did not check the
returned value against the fuzzy_date flags, so
it could return a bad value to the caller that
expects a good date (e.h. CONVERT_TZ).

mysql_derived_merge_for_insert() should not be called for views or derived tables which are not put (directly or via other views) in main SELECT_LEX "join list".
When iterating over a list of conditions using List_iterator
the function remove_eq_conds should skip all predicates that
replace a condition from the list. Otherwise it can come to
an infinite recursion.
<non-nullable datatime field> IS NULL in outer joins with
that in inner joins.
Previously such condition was transformed into the condition
<non-nullable datatime field> = 0 unless the field belonged
to an inner table of an outer join. In this case the predicate
was interpreted as for any other field.
Now if the field in the predicate <non-nullable datatime field> IS NULL
belongs to an inner table of an outer join the predicate is
transformed into the disjunction
<non-nullable datatime field> = 0 OR <non-nullable datatime field> IS NULL.
This is fully compatible with the semantics of such predicates in 5.5.
This bug was the result of incompleteness of the patch for bug mdev-4177.
When an OR condition is simplified to a single conjunct it is merged
into the embedding AND condition. Multiple equalities are also merged,
and any field item involved in those equality should acquire a pointer
to a the multiple equality formed by this merge.
fulltext search was initialized for all MATCH ... AGAINST items
at the end of the JOIN::optimize(). But since 5.3 derived tables
are initialized lazily on first use, very late in the sub_select().
Skip Item_func_match::init_search initialization if the corresponding
table isn't open yet; repeat fulltext initialization for all
not-yet-initialized MATCH ... AGAINST items after creating derived tables.
In some cases, when using views the optimizer incorrectly determined
possible join orders for queries with nested outer and inner joins.
This could lead to invalid execution plans for such queries.
