Analysis:
The fix for lp:944706 introduces early subquery optimization.
While a subquery is being optimized some of its predicates may be
removed. In the test case, the EXISTS subquery is constant, and is
evaluated to TRUE. As a result the whole OR is TRUE, and thus the
correlated condition "b = alias1.b" is optimized away. The subquery
becomes non-correlated.
The subquery cache is designed to work only for correlated subqueries.
If constant subquery optimization is disallowed, then the constant
subquery is not evaluated, the subquery remains correlated, and its
execution is cached. As a result execution is fast.
However, when the constant subquery was optimized away, it was neither
cached by the subquery cache, nor it was cached by the internal subquery
caching. The latter was due to the fact that the subquery still appeared
as correlated to the subselect_XYZ_engine::exec methods, and they
re-executed the subquery on each call to Item_subselect::exec.
Solution:
The solution is to update the correlated status of the subquery after it has
been optimized. This status consists of:
- st_select_lex::is_correlated
- Item_subselect::is_correlated
- SELECT_LEX::uncacheable
- SELECT_LEX_UNIT::uncacheable
The status is updated by st_select_lex::update_correlated_cache(), and its
caller st_select_lex::optimize_unflattened_subqueries. The solution relies
on the fact that the optimizer already called
st_select_lex::update_used_tables() for each subquery. This allows to
efficiently update the correlated status of each subquery without walking
the whole subquery tree.
Notice that his patch is an improvement over MySQL 5.6 and older, where
subqueries are not pre-optimized, and the above analysis is not possible.
The patch enables back constant subquery execution during
query optimization after it was disabled during the development
of MWL#89 (cost-based choice of IN-TO-EXISTS vs MATERIALIZATION).
The main idea is that constant subqueries are allowed to be executed
during optimization if their execution is not expensive.
The approach is as follows:
- Constant subqueries are recursively optimized in the beginning of
JOIN::optimize of the outer query. This is done by the new method
JOIN::optimize_constant_subqueries(). This is done so that the cost
of executing these queries can be estimated.
- Optimization of the outer query proceeds normally. During this phase
the optimizer may request execution of non-expensive constant subqueries.
Each place where the optimizer may potentially execute an expensive
expression is guarded with the predicate Item::is_expensive().
- The implementation of Item_subselect::is_expensive has been extended
to use the number of examined rows (estimated by the optimizer) as a
way to determine whether the subquery is expensive or not.
- The new system variable "expensive_subquery_limit" controls how many
examined rows are considered to be not expensive. The default is 100.
In addition, multiple changes were needed to make this solution work
in the light of the changes made by MWL#89. These changes were needed
to fix various crashes and wrong results, and legacy bugs discovered
during development.

This bug appeared after the patch for bug 939009 that in the
function merge_key_fields forgot to reset a proper value for
the val field in the result of the merge operation of the key
field created for a regular key access and the key field
created to look for a NULL key.
Adjusted the results of the test case for bug 939009 that
actually were incorrect.

of the 5.3 code line after a merge with 5.2 on 2010-10-28
in order not to allow the cost to access a joined table to be equal
to 0 ever.
Expanded data sets for many test cases to get the same execution plans
as before.
For any query JOIN::optimize() should call the method
SELECT::save_leaf_tables after the last transformation
that utilizes the statement memory rather than the
execution memory.
This bug is a special case of lp:813447.
Analysis:
Constant optimization finds that the condition t2.a = 1
can be used to access the primary key of table 't2'. As
a result both outer table t1,t2 are considered as constant
when we reach the execution phase. At the same time, during
constant optimization, the IN predicate is not evaluated
because it is expensive.
When execution of the outer query reaches do_select(),
control flow enter the branch:
if (join->table_count == join->const_tables)
{ ... }
This branch checks only the WHERE and HAVING clauses,
but doesn't check the ON clauses of the query. Since the
IN predicate was not evaluated during optimization, it is
not evaluated at all, thus execution doesn't detect that
the ON clause is FALSE.
Solution:
Similar to the patch for bug lp:813447, exclude system
tables from constant substitution based on unique key
lookups if there is an expensive ON condition on the
inner table.
- Set the default
- Adjust the testcases so that 'new' tests are run with optimizations turned on.
- Pull out relevant tests from "irrelevant" tests and run them with optimizations on.
- Run range.test and innodb.test with both mrr=on and mrr=off
A lot of small fixes and new test cases.

- "Using MRR" is no longer shown with range access.
- Instead, both range and BKA accesses will show one of the following:
= "Rowid-ordered scan"
= "Key-ordered scan"
= "Key-ordered Rowid-ordered scan"
depending on whether DS-MRR implementation will do scan keys in order, rowids in order,
or both.
- The patch also introduces a way for other storage engines/MRR implementations to
pass information to EXPLAIN output about the properties of employed MRR scans.
even in the cases when there existed range/index-merge scans that
were cheaper than the full table scan.
This was a defect/bug of the implementation of mwl #128.
Now hash join can work not only with full table scan of the joined
table, but also with full index scan, range and index-merge scans.
Accordingly, in the cases when hash join is used the column 'type'
in the EXPLAINs can contain now 'hash_ALL', 'hash_index', 'hash_range'
and 'hash_index_merge'. If hash join is coupled with a range/index_merge
scan then the columns 'key' and 'key_len' contain info not only on
the used hash index, but also on the indexes used for the scan.
- Fixed problem with oqgraph and 'make dist'
Note that after this merge we have a problem show in join_outer where we examine too many rows in one specific case (related to BUG#57024).
This will be fixed when mwl#128 is merged into 5.3.
Employed the same kind of optimization as in the fix for the cases
when join buffer is used.
The optimization performs early evaluation of the conditions from
on expression with table references to only outer tables of
an outer join.
Applied the fix for bug #47217 from the mysql-6.0 codebase.
The patch adds not null predicates generated for the left parts
of the equality predicates used for ref accesses. This is done
for such predicates both in where conditions and on conditions.
For the where conditions the not null predicates were generated
but in 5.0/5.1 they actually never were used due to some lame
merge from 4.1 to 5.0. The fix for bug #47217 made these
predicates to be used in the condition pushed to the tables.
Yet only this patch generates not null predicates for equality
predicated from on conditions of outer joins.
This patch introduces a performance regression that can be
observed on a test case from null_key.test. The regression
will disappear after the fix for bug #57024 from mariadb-5.1
is pulled into mariadb-5.3.
The patch contains many changes in the outputs of the EXPLAIN
commands since generated not null predicates are considered as
parts of the conditions pushed to join tables and may add
'Usingwhere' in some rows of EXPLAINs where there used
to be no such comments.
