If a materialized derived table / view is empty then for this table
the value of file->ref is 0. This was not taken into account by
the function JOIN_CACHE::write_record_data. As a result a query
using an empty materialized derived tables as inner tables of outer
joins and IN subqueries in WHERE conditions could cause server crashes
when the optimizer employed join caches and duplicate elimination for
semi-joins.
- in make_join_select(), use the correct condition to check whether the current table is a SJM nest (the previous
condition used to be correct before, but then sj-materialization temp table creation was moved to happen before
make_join_select was called)
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.
- The problem was that JOIN::save/restore_query_plan() did not save/restore parts of
the query plan that are located inside SJ_MATERIALIZATION_INFO structures. This could
cause parts of one plan to be used with another, which led get_best_combination() to
constructing non-sensical join plans (and crash).
Fixed by saving/restoring SJM parts of the query plans.
- check_and_do_in_subquery_rewrites() will not set SUBS_MATERIALIZATION flag when it
records that the subquery predicate is to be converted into semi-join.
If convert_join_subqueries_to_semijoins() later decides not to convert to semi-join,
let it set SUBS_MATERIALIZATION flag, if appropriate.
(This is not a real fix for this bug, even though it makes it to no longer repeat)
- Semi-join subquery predicates, i.e. ... WHERE outer_expr IN (SELECT ...) may have null-rejecting properties,
may allow to convert outer joins into inner.
- When convert_subq_to_sj() injected IN-equality into parent's WHERE/ON clause, it didn't call
$new_cond->top_level_item(), which would cause null-rejecting properties to be lost.
- Fixed, now the mentioned outer-to-inner conversion will really take place.
- 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
semijoin=on,firstmatch=on,loosescan=on
to
semijoin=off,firstmatch=off,loosescan=off
Adjust the testcases:
- Modify subselect*.test and join_cache.test so that all tests
use the same execution paths as before (i.e. optimizations that
are being tested are enabled)
- Let all other test files run with the new default settings (i.e.
with new optimizations disabled)
- Copy subquery testcases from these files into t/subselect_extra.test
which will run them with new optimizations enabled.
