This makes it easier to compare different costs and also allows
the optimizer to optimizer different storage engines more reliably.
- Added tests/check_costs.pl, a tool to verify optimizer cost calculations.
- Most engine costs has been found with this program. All steps to
calculate the new costs are documented in Docs/optimizer_costs.txt
- User optimizer_cost variables are given in microseconds (as individual
costs can be very small). Internally they are stored in ms.
- Changed DISK_READ_COST (was DISK_SEEK_BASE_COST) from a hard disk cost
(9 ms) to common SSD cost (400MB/sec).
- Removed cost calculations for hard disks (rotation etc).
- Changed the following handler functions to return IO_AND_CPU_COST.
This makes it easy to apply different cost modifiers in ha_..time()
functions for io and cpu costs.
- scan_time()
- rnd_pos_time() & rnd_pos_call_time()
- keyread_time()
- Enhanched keyread_time() to calculate the full cost of reading of a set
of keys with a given number of ranges and optional number of blocks that
need to be accessed.
- Removed read_time() as keyread_time() + rnd_pos_time() can do the same
thing and more.
- Tuned cost for: heap, myisam, Aria, InnoDB, archive and MyRocks.
Used heap table costs for json_table. The rest are using default engine
costs.
- Added the following new optimizer variables:
- optimizer_disk_read_ratio
- optimizer_disk_read_cost
- optimizer_key_lookup_cost
- optimizer_row_lookup_cost
- optimizer_row_next_find_cost
- optimizer_scan_cost
- Moved all engine specific cost to OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure.
- Changed costs to use 'records_out' instead of 'records_read' when
recalculating costs.
- Split optimizer_costs.h to optimizer_costs.h and optimizer_defaults.h.
This allows one to change costs without having to compile a lot of
files.
- Updated costs for filter lookup.
- Use a better cost estimate in best_extension_by_limited_search()
for the sorting cost.
- Fixed previous issues with 'filtered' explain column as we are now
using 'records_out' (min rows seen for table) to calculate filtering.
This greatly simplifies the filtering code in
JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data().
This change caused a lot of queries to be optimized differently than
before, which exposed different issues in the optimizer that needs to
be fixed. These fixes are in the following commits. To not have to
change the same test case over and over again, the changes in the test
cases are done in a single commit after all the critical change sets
are done.
InnoDB changes:
- Updated InnoDB to not divide big range cost with 2.
- Added cost for InnoDB (innobase_update_optimizer_costs()).
- Don't mark clustered primary key with HA_KEYREAD_ONLY. This will
prevent that the optimizer is trying to use index-only scans on
the clustered key.
- Disabled ha_innobase::scan_time() and ha_innobase::read_time() and
ha_innobase::rnd_pos_time() as the default engine cost functions now
works good for InnoDB.
Other things:
- Added --show-query-costs (\Q) option to mysql.cc to show the query
cost after each query (good when working with query costs).
- Extended my_getopt with GET_ADJUSTED_VALUE which allows one to adjust
the value that user is given. This is used to change cost from
microseconds (user input) to milliseconds (what the server is
internally using).
- Added include/my_tracker.h ; Useful include file to quickly test
costs of a function.
- Use handler::set_table() in all places instead of 'table= arg'.
- Added SHOW_OPTIMIZER_COSTS to sys variables. These are input and
shown in microseconds for the user but stored as milliseconds.
This is to make the numbers easier to read for the user (less
pre-zeros). Implemented in 'Sys_var_optimizer_cost' class.
- In test_quick_select() do not use index scans if 'no_keyread' is set
for the table. This is what we do in other places of the server.
- Added THD parameter to Unique::get_use_cost() and
check_index_intersect_extension() and similar functions to be able
to provide costs to called functions.
- Changed 'records' to 'rows' in optimizer_trace.
- Write more information to optimizer_trace.
- Added INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_MUL (4) and INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_DIV (3)
to calculate usage space of keys in b-trees. (Before we used numeric
constants).
- Removed code that assumed that b-trees has similar costs as binary
trees. Replaced with engine calls that returns the cost.
- Added Bitmap::find_first_bit()
- Added timings to join_cache for ANALYZE table (patch by Sergei Petrunia).
- Added records_init and records_after_filter to POSITION to remember
more of what best_access_patch() calculates.
- table_after_join_selectivity() changed to recalculate 'records_out'
based on the new fields from best_access_patch()
Bug fixes:
- Some queries did not update last_query_cost (was 0). Fixed by moving
setting thd->...last_query_cost in JOIN::optimize().
- Write '0' as number of rows for const tables with a matching row.
Some internals:
- Engine cost are stored in OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure. When a
handlerton is created, we also created a new cost variable for the
handlerton. We also create a new variable if the user changes a
optimizer cost for a not yet loaded handlerton either with command
line arguments or with SET
@@global.engine.optimizer_cost_variable=xx.
- There are 3 global OPTIMIZER_COSTS variables:
default_optimizer_costs The default costs + changes from the
command line without an engine specifier.
heap_optimizer_costs Heap table costs, used for temporary tables
tmp_table_optimizer_costs The cost for the default on disk internal
temporary table (MyISAM or Aria)
- The engine cost for a table is stored in table_share. To speed up
accesses the handler has a pointer to this. The cost is copied
to the table on first access. If one wants to change the cost one
must first update the global engine cost and then do a FLUSH TABLES.
This was done to be able to access the costs for an open table
without any locks.
- When a handlerton is created, the cost are updated the following way:
See sql/keycaches.cc for details:
- Use 'default_optimizer_costs' as a base
- Call hton->update_optimizer_costs() to override with the engines
default costs.
- Override the costs that the user has specified for the engine.
- One handler open, copy the engine cost from handlerton to TABLE_SHARE.
- Call handler::update_optimizer_costs() to allow the engine to update
cost for this particular table.
- There are two costs stored in THD. These are copied to the handler
when the table is used in a query:
- optimizer_where_cost
- optimizer_scan_setup_cost
- Simply code in best_access_path() by storing all cost result in a
structure. (Idea/Suggestion by Igor)
Fall back to using .mysql_history if .mariadb_history isn't
present and .mysql_history is present.
Also replace the use of MYSQL_HISTFILE as an environment variable
with MARIADB_HISTFILE and fall back to using MYSQL_HISTFILE if
MARIADB_HISTFILE isn't present.
try to make them less confusing for users.
Hopefully, if the version string will be changed like
- mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.2-MariaDB for Linux (x86_64)
+ mariadb from 10.11.2-MariaDB, client 15.1 for Linux (x86_64)
users will be less inclined to reply "15.1" to the question
"what mariadb version are you using?"
Apparently newer libedit is readline-compatible enough
to be detected as a readline, with USE_NEW_READLINE_INTERFACE defined
and USE_LIBEDIT_INTERFACE not defined.
Let's set the locale unconditionally, independently from the
readline/libedit variant. It's already happening anyway now,
unless one specifies --default-character-set explicitly.
For compatibility reasons, add the option to the MariaDB client without
any functional changes besides simply accepting the option and emitting
a warning that it is obsolete.
In MySQL this security related option is compulsory in certain use
cases. When users switch to MariaDB, this client command that used to
work starts failing without a sensible error message. In worst case
users resort to re-installing the mysql client from MySQL.
In MariaDB the option is obsolete and should simply be ignored. Users
however don't have any opportunity to learn that unless the client
program tells them so.
Before:
mysql --enable-cleartext-plugin ...
mysql: unknown option '--enable-cleartext-plugin'
(program terminates)
After:
mysql --enable-cleartext-plugin ...
WARNING: option '--enable-cleartext-plugin' is obsolete.
(program executes)

Translate username, password and database from UTF8 into desired charset,
if non-auto default-character-set was used, on Windows10 1903
This change is implemented only in the command line client, and mainly to
allow users with non-UTF8 passwords to login.
The user is supposed to use the same charset that was used during setting
password (usually, console CP if used in CLI)
Add a test to document the behavior.
If someone on whatever reasons uses --default-character-set=cp850,
this will avoid incorrect display, and inserting incorrect data.
Adjusting console codepage sometimes also needs to happen with
--default-charset=auto, on older Windows. This is because autodetection
is not always exact. For example, console codepage on US editions of
Windows is 437. Client autodetects it as cp850, a rather loose
approximation, given 46 code point differences. We change the console
codepage to cp850, so that there is no discrepancy.
That fix is currently Windows-only, and serves people who used combination
of chcp to achieve WYSIWYG effect (although, this would mostly likely used
with utf8 in the past)
Now, --default-character-set would be a replacement for that.
Fix fs_character_set() detection of current codepage.
Corresponding Windows bug https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4551
Use ReadConsoleW instead and convert to console's input codepage, to
workaround.
Also, disable VT sequences in the console output, as we do not knows what
type of data comes with SELECT, we do not want VT escapes there.
Remove my_cgets()
