Move plugin declarations after system functions have been checked
(Fixes problem with ndb_config failing becasue SHM is not declared)
Fixed some memory leaks
Added support for key_block_size to MyISAM.
Simplify interface to 'new Key' to make it easier to add new key options.
mysqld option --new is used to define where key options are printed.
(In 5.3 we should move all key options to after key part definition to avoid problem with reserved names)
Fixed some compiler warnings and a memory leak in ssl
This performance degradation was due to the fact that some
cost evaluation code added into 4.1 in the function find_best was
not merged into the code of the function best_access_path added
together with other code for greedy optimizer.
Added a parameter to the function print_plan. The parameter contains
accumulated cost for a given partial join.
The patch does not include a special test case since this performance
degradation is hard to reproduse with a simple example.
TODO: make the function find_best use the function best_access_path
in order to remove duplication of code which might result in incomplete
merges in the future.
In the code that converts IN predicates to EXISTS predicates it is changing
the select list elements to constant 1. Example :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT c FROM ...)
is transformed to :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ... HAVING a = c)
However there can be no FROM clause in the IN subquery and it may not be
a simple select : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT f(..) AS
c UNION SELECT ...) This query is transformed to : SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT f(..) AS c UNION SELECT ...)
x HAVING a = c) In the above query c in the HAVING clause is made to be
an Item_null_helper (a subclass of Item_ref) pointing to the real
Item_field (which is not referenced anywhere else in the query anymore).
This is done because Item_ref_null_helper collects information whether
there are NULL values in the result. This is OK for directly executed
statements, because the Item_field pointed by the Item_null_helper is
already fixed when the transformation is done. But when executed as
a prepared statement all the Item instances are "un-fixed" before the
recompilation of the prepared statement. So when the Item_null_helper
gets fixed it discovers that the Item_field it points to is not fixed
and issues an error. The remedy is to keep the original select list
references when there are no tables in the FROM clause. So the above
becomes : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT c FROM (SELECT f(..)
AS c UNION SELECT ...) x HAVING a = c) In this way c is referenced
directly in the select list as well as by reference in the HAVING
clause. So it gets correctly fixed even with prepared statements. And
since the Item_null_helper subclass of Item_ref_null_helper is not used
anywhere else it's taken out.
