- When returning metadata for scalar subqueries the actual type of the
column was calculated based on the value type, which limits the actual
type of a scalar subselect to the set of (currently) 3 basic types :
integer, double precision or string. This is the reason that columns
of types other then the basic ones (e.g. date/time) are reported as
being of the corresponding basic type.
Fixed by storing/returning information for the column type in addition
to the result type.
Evaluate "NULL IN (SELECT ...)" in a special way: Disable pushed-down
conditions and their "consequences":
= Do full table scans instead of unique_[index_subquery] lookups.
= Change appropriate "ref_or_null" accesses to full table scans in
subquery's joins.
Also cache value of NULL IN (SELECT ...) if the SELECT is not correlated
wrt any upper select.
If elements a not top-level IN subquery were accessed by an index and
the subquery result set included a NULL value then the quantified
predicate that contained the subquery was evaluated to NULL when
it should return a non-null value.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).
The ALL/ANY subqueries are the subject of MIN/MAX optimization. The matter
of this optimization is to embed MIN() or MAX() function into the subquery
in order to get only one row by which we can tell whether the expression
with ALL/ANY subquery is true or false.
But when it is applied to a subquery like 'select a_constant' the reported bug
occurs. As no tables are specified in the subquery the do_select() function
isn't called for the optimized subquery and thus no values have been added
to a MIN()/MAX() function and it returns NULL instead of a_constant.
This leads to a wrong query result.
For the subquery like 'select a_constant' there is no reason to apply
MIN/MAX optimization because the subquery anyway will return at most one row.
Thus the Item_maxmin_subselect class is more appropriate for handling such
subqueries.
The Item_in_subselect::single_value_transformer() function now checks
whether tables are specified for the subquery. If no then this subselect is
handled like a UNION using an Item_maxmin_subselect object.
Changes that requires code changes in other code of other storage engines.
(Note that all changes are very straightforward and one should find all issues
by compiling a --debug build and fixing all compiler errors and all
asserts in field.cc while running the test suite),
- New optional handler function introduced: reset()
This is called after every DML statement to make it easy for a handler to
statement specific cleanups.
(The only case it's not called is if force the file to be closed)
- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RESET) is removed. Code that was there before
should be moved to handler::reset()
- table->read_set contains a bitmap over all columns that are needed
in the query. read_row() and similar functions only needs to read these
columns
- table->write_set contains a bitmap over all columns that will be updated
in the query. write_row() and update_row() only needs to update these
columns.
The above bitmaps should now be up to date in all context
(including ALTER TABLE, filesort()).
The handler is informed of any changes to the bitmap after
fix_fields() by calling the virtual function
handler::column_bitmaps_signal(). If the handler does caching of
these bitmaps (instead of using table->read_set, table->write_set),
it should redo the caching in this code. as the signal() may be sent
several times, it's probably best to set a variable in the signal
and redo the caching on read_row() / write_row() if the variable was
set.
- Removed the read_set and write_set bitmap objects from the handler class
- Removed all column bit handling functions from the handler class.
(Now one instead uses the normal bitmap functions in my_bitmap.c instead
of handler dedicated bitmap functions)
- field->query_id is removed. One should instead instead check
table->read_set and table->write_set if a field is used in the query.
- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIVE_ALL_COLS) and
handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIEVE_PRIMARY_KEY) are removed. One should now
instead use table->read_set to check for which columns to retrieve.
- If a handler needs to call Field->val() or Field->store() on columns
that are not used in the query, one should install a temporary
all-columns-used map while doing so. For this, we provide the following
functions:
my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->read_set);
field->val();
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->read_set, old_map);
and similar for the write map:
my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->write_set);
field->val();
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->write_set, old_map);
If this is not done, you will sooner or later hit a DBUG_ASSERT
in the field store() / val() functions.
(For not DBUG binaries, the dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() and
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() are inline dummy functions and should
be optimized away be the compiler).
- If one needs to temporary set the column map for all binaries (and not
just to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT() in the Field::store() / Field::val()
methods) one should use the functions tmp_use_all_columns() and
tmp_restore_column_map() instead of the above dbug_ variants.
- All 'status' fields in the handler base class (like records,
data_file_length etc) are now stored in a 'stats' struct. This makes
it easier to know what status variables are provided by the base
handler. This requires some trivial variable names in the extra()
function.
- New virtual function handler::records(). This is called to optimize
COUNT(*) if (handler::table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS()) is true.
(stats.records is not supposed to be an exact value. It's only has to
be 'reasonable enough' for the optimizer to be able to choose a good
optimization path).
- Non virtual handler::init() function added for caching of virtual
constants from engine.
- Removed has_transactions() virtual method. Now one should instead return
HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS in table_flags() if the table handler DOES NOT support
transactions.
- The 'xxxx_create_handler()' function now has a MEM_ROOT_root argument
that is to be used with 'new handler_name()' to allocate the handler
in the right area. The xxxx_create_handler() function is also
responsible for any initialization of the object before returning.
For example, one should change:
static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table)
{
return new ha_myisam(table);
}
->
static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table, MEM_ROOT *mem_root)
{
return new (mem_root) ha_myisam(table);
}
- New optional virtual function: use_hidden_primary_key().
This is called in case of an update/delete when
(table_flags() and HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE) is defined
but we don't have a primary key. This allows the handler to take precisions
in remembering any hidden primary key to able to update/delete any
found row. The default handler marks all columns to be read.
- handler::table_flags() now returns a ulonglong (to allow for more flags).
- New/changed table_flags()
- HA_HAS_RECORDS Set if ::records() is supported
- HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS Set if engine doesn't support transactions
- HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE
Set if we should mark all primary key columns for
read when reading rows as part of a DELETE
statement. If there is no primary key,
all columns are marked for read.
- HA_PARTIAL_COLUMN_READ Set if engine will not read all columns in some
cases (based on table->read_set)
- HA_PRIMARY_KEY_ALLOW_RANDOM_ACCESS
Renamed to HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION.
- HA_DUPP_POS Renamed to HA_DUPLICATE_POS
- HA_REQUIRES_KEY_COLUMNS_FOR_DELETE
Set this if we should mark ALL key columns for
read when when reading rows as part of a DELETE
statement. In case of an update we will mark
all keys for read for which key part changed
value.
- HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT
Set this if stats.records is exact.
(This saves us some extra records() calls
when optimizing COUNT(*))
- Removed table_flags()
- HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT Now one should instead use HA_HAS_RECORDS if
handler::records() gives an exact count() and
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT if stats.records is exact.
- HA_READ_RND_SAME Removed (no one supported this one)
- Removed not needed functions ha_retrieve_all_cols() and ha_retrieve_all_pk()
- Renamed handler::dupp_pos to handler::dup_pos
- Removed not used variable handler::sortkey
Upper level handler changes:
- ha_reset() now does some overall checks and calls ::reset()
- ha_table_flags() added. This is a cached version of table_flags(). The
cache is updated on engine creation time and updated on open.
MySQL level changes (not obvious from the above):
- DBUG_ASSERT() added to check that column usage matches what is set
in the column usage bit maps. (This found a LOT of bugs in current
column marking code).
- In 5.1 before, all used columns was marked in read_set and only updated
columns was marked in write_set. Now we only mark columns for which we
need a value in read_set.
- Column bitmaps are created in open_binary_frm() and open_table_from_share().
(Before this was in table.cc)
- handler::table_flags() calls are replaced with handler::ha_table_flags()
- For calling field->val() you must have the corresponding bit set in
table->read_set. For calling field->store() you must have the
corresponding bit set in table->write_set. (There are asserts in
all store()/val() functions to catch wrong usage)
- thd->set_query_id is renamed to thd->mark_used_columns and instead
of setting this to an integer value, this has now the values:
MARK_COLUMNS_NONE, MARK_COLUMNS_READ, MARK_COLUMNS_WRITE
Changed also all variables named 'set_query_id' to mark_used_columns.
- In filesort() we now inform the handler of exactly which columns are needed
doing the sort and choosing the rows.
- The TABLE_SHARE object has a 'all_set' column bitmap one can use
when one needs a column bitmap with all columns set.
(This is used for table->use_all_columns() and other places)
- The TABLE object has 3 column bitmaps:
- def_read_set Default bitmap for columns to be read
- def_write_set Default bitmap for columns to be written
- tmp_set Can be used as a temporary bitmap when needed.
The table object has also two pointer to bitmaps read_set and write_set
that the handler should use to find out which columns are used in which way.
- count() optimization now calls handler::records() instead of using
handler->stats.records (if (table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS) is true).
- Added extra argument to Item::walk() to indicate if we should also
traverse sub queries.
- Added TABLE parameter to cp_buffer_from_ref()
- Don't close tables created with CREATE ... SELECT but keep them in
the table cache. (Faster usage of newly created tables).
New interfaces:
- table->clear_column_bitmaps() to initialize the bitmaps for tables
at start of new statements.
- table->column_bitmaps_set() to set up new column bitmaps and signal
the handler about this.
- table->column_bitmaps_set_no_signal() for some few cases where we need
to setup new column bitmaps but don't signal the handler (as the handler
has already been signaled about these before). Used for the momement
only in opt_range.cc when doing ROR scans.
- table->use_all_columns() to install a bitmap where all columns are marked
as use in the read and the write set.
- table->default_column_bitmaps() to install the normal read and write
column bitmaps, but not signaling the handler about this.
This is mainly used when creating TABLE instances.
- table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete(),
table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete() and
table->mark_columns_needed_for_insert() to allow us to put additional
columns in column usage maps if handler so requires.
(The handler indicates what it neads in handler->table_flags())
- table->prepare_for_position() to allow us to tell handler that it
needs to read primary key parts to be able to store them in
future table->position() calls.
(This replaces the table->file->ha_retrieve_all_pk function)
- table->mark_auto_increment_column() to tell handler are going to update
columns part of any auto_increment key.
- table->mark_columns_used_by_index() to mark all columns that is part of
an index. It will also send extra(HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD) to handler to allow
it to quickly know that it only needs to read colums that are part
of the key. (The handler can also use the column map for detecting this,
but simpler/faster handler can just monitor the extra() call).
- table->mark_columns_used_by_index_no_reset() to in addition to other columns,
also mark all columns that is used by the given key.
- table->restore_column_maps_after_mark_index() to restore to default
column maps after a call to table->mark_columns_used_by_index().
- New item function register_field_in_read_map(), for marking used columns
in table->read_map. Used by filesort() to mark all used columns
- Maintain in TABLE->merge_keys set of all keys that are used in query.
(Simplices some optimization loops)
- Maintain Field->part_of_key_not_clustered which is like Field->part_of_key
but the field in the clustered key is not assumed to be part of all index.
(used in opt_range.cc for faster loops)
- dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(), dbug_tmp_restore_column_map()
tmp_use_all_columns() and tmp_restore_column_map() functions to temporally
mark all columns as usable. The 'dbug_' version is primarily intended
inside a handler when it wants to just call Field:store() & Field::val()
functions, but don't need the column maps set for any other usage.
(ie:: bitmap_is_set() is never called)
- We can't use compare_records() to skip updates for handlers that returns
a partial column set and the read_set doesn't cover all columns in the
write set. The reason for this is that if we have a column marked only for
write we can't in the MySQL level know if the value changed or not.
The reason this worked before was that MySQL marked all to be written
columns as also to be read. The new 'optimal' bitmaps exposed this 'hidden
bug'.
- open_table_from_share() does not anymore setup temporary MEM_ROOT
object as a thread specific variable for the handler. Instead we
send the to-be-used MEMROOT to get_new_handler().
(Simpler, faster code)
Bugs fixed:
- Column marking was not done correctly in a lot of cases.
(ALTER TABLE, when using triggers, auto_increment fields etc)
(Could potentially result in wrong values inserted in table handlers
relying on that the old column maps or field->set_query_id was correct)
Especially when it comes to triggers, there may be cases where the
old code would cause lost/wrong values for NDB and/or InnoDB tables.
- Split thd->options flag OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE to two flags:
OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE and OPTION_KEEP_LOG.
This allowed me to remove some wrong warnings about:
"Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back"
- Fixed handling of INSERT .. SELECT and CREATE ... SELECT that wrongly reset
(thd->options & OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE) which caused us to loose
some warnings about
"Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back")
- Fixed use of uninitialized memory in ha_ndbcluster.cc::delete_table()
which could cause delete_table to report random failures.
- Fixed core dumps for some tests when running with --debug
- Added missing FN_LIBCHAR in mysql_rm_tmp_tables()
(This has probably caused us to not properly remove temporary files after
crash)
- slow_logs was not properly initialized, which could maybe cause
extra/lost entries in slow log.
- If we get an duplicate row on insert, change column map to read and
write all columns while retrying the operation. This is required by
the definition of REPLACE and also ensures that fields that are only
part of UPDATE are properly handled. This fixed a bug in NDB and
REPLACE where REPLACE wrongly copied some column values from the replaced
row.
- For table handler that doesn't support NULL in keys, we would give an error
when creating a primary key with NULL fields, even after the fields has been
automaticly converted to NOT NULL.
- Creating a primary key on a SPATIAL key, would fail if field was not
declared as NOT NULL.
Cleanups:
- Removed not used condition argument to setup_tables
- Removed not needed item function reset_query_id_processor().
- Field->add_index is removed. Now this is instead maintained in
(field->flags & FIELD_IN_ADD_INDEX)
- Field->fieldnr is removed (use field->field_index instead)
- New argument to filesort() to indicate that it should return a set of
row pointers (not used columns). This allowed me to remove some references
to sql_command in filesort and should also enable us to return column
results in some cases where we couldn't before.
- Changed column bitmap handling in opt_range.cc to be aligned with TABLE
bitmap, which allowed me to use bitmap functions instead of looping over
all fields to create some needed bitmaps. (Faster and smaller code)
- Broke up found too long lines
- Moved some variable declaration at start of function for better code
readability.
- Removed some not used arguments from functions.
(setup_fields(), mysql_prepare_insert_check_table())
- setup_fields() now takes an enum instead of an int for marking columns
usage.
- For internal temporary tables, use handler::write_row(),
handler::delete_row() and handler::update_row() instead of
handler::ha_xxxx() for faster execution.
- Changed some constants to enum's and define's.
- Using separate column read and write sets allows for easier checking
of timestamp field was set by statement.
- Remove calls to free_io_cache() as this is now done automaticly in ha_reset()
- Don't build table->normalized_path as this is now identical to table->path
(after bar's fixes to convert filenames)
- Fixed some missed DBUG_PRINT(.."%lx") to use "0x%lx" to make it easier to
do comparision with the 'convert-dbug-for-diff' tool.
Things left to do in 5.1:
- We wrongly log failed CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in some cases when using
row based logging (as shown by testcase binlog_row_mix_innodb_myisam.result)
Mats has promised to look into this.
- Test that my fix for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is indeed correct.
(I added several test cases for this, but in this case it's better that
someone else also tests this throughly).
Lars has promosed to do this.
The convert_constant_item() function converts constant items to ints on
prepare phase to optimize execution speed. In this case it tries to evaluate
subselect which contains a derived table and is contained in a derived table.
All derived tables are filled only after all derived tables are prepared.
So evaluation of subselect with derived table at the prepare phase will
return a wrong result.
A new flag with_subselect is added to the Item class. It indicates that
expression which this item represents is a subselect or contains a subselect.
It is set to 0 by default. It is set to 1 in the Item_subselect constructor
for subselects.
For Item_func and Item_cond derived classes it is set after fixing any argument
in Item_func::fix_fields() and Item_cond::fix_fields accordingly.
The convert_constant_item() function now doesn't convert a constant item
if the with_subselect flag set in it.
When a view statement is compiled on CREATE VIEW time, most of the
optimizations should not be done. Finding the right optimization
for a subquery is one of them.
Unfortunately the optimizer is resolving the column references of
the left expression of IN subqueries in the process of deciding
witch optimization to use (if needed). So there should be a
special case in Item_in_subselect::fix_fields() : check the
validity of the left expression of IN subqueries in CREATE VIEW
mode and then proceed as normal.
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.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.
cursor is interpreted latin1 character and Bug#9819 "Cursors: Mysql Server
Crash while fetching from table with 5 million records."
A fix for a possible memory leak when fetching into an SP cursor
in a long loop.
The patch uses a common implementation of cursors in the binary protocol and
in stored procedures and implements materialized cursors.
For implementation details, see comments in sql_cursor.cc
- current_arena to stmt_arena: the thread may have more than one
'current' arenas: one for runtime data, and one for the parsed

- set_item_arena -> set_query_arena, because Item_arena was renamed to
Query_arena a while ago
- set_n_backup_item_arena -> set_n_backup_active_arena;
the active arena is the arena thd->mem_root and thd->free_list
are currently pointing at.
- restore_backup_item_arena -> restore_active_arena (with the same
rationale)
- change_arena_if_needed -> activate_stmt_arena_if_needed; this

cause crash on update".
Let us update "thd" pointer in LEX, all its units and in LEX::result before
executing statement in trigger body, since triggers are associated with TABLE
object and because of this can be used in different threads.
Added test case for bug #11867.
Fixed results for two existing test cases.
subselect.test:
Added test case for bug #11867.
item_subselect.cc:
Fixed bug #11867.
Added missing code in Item_in_subselect::row_value_transformer
that caused problems for queries with
ROW(elems) IN (SELECT DISTINCT cols FROM ...).
CURSOR_TYPE_READ_ONLY select within select".
The bug was caused by the reset of thd->mem_root to thd->main_mem_root in
Item_subselect::exec, which in turn triggered too early free_root() for
data which was needed on subsequent fetches from a cursor.
This reset also caused a memory leak in stored procedures, as
subsequent executions of instructions containing a subselect
were allocating memory in thd->main_mem_root, which is not freed
until the end of the entire SP, instead of the per-call mem_root,
which is freed in the end of execution of the instruction.
Added a test case for bug #10124.
sql_select.h, item_subselect.cc, sql_select.cc:
Fixed bug #10124.
The copy method of the store_key classes can return
STORE_KEY_OK=0, STORE_KEY_FATAL=1, STORE_KEY_CONV=2 now.
field.cc:
Fixed bug #10124.
When ussuing a warning the store methods return 2 instead of 1 now.
error for LIMIT placeholder".
The patch adds grammar support for LIMIT ?, ? and changes the
type of ST_SELECT_LEX::select_limit,offset_limit from ha_rows to Item*,
so that it can point to Item_param.
Ensure that 'null_value' is not accessed before val() is called in FIELD() functions
Fixed initialization of key maps. This fixes some problems with keys when you have more than 64 keys
Fixed that ROLLUP don't always create a temporary table. This fix ensures that func_gconcat.test results are now predictable
"the server side preparedStatement error for LIMIT placeholder",
which moves all uses of LIMIT clause from PREPARE to OPTIMIZE
and later steps.
After-review fixes.
This only showed up on two known platforms, both ia64 (one HP-UX and one Linux wich icc).
For some reason, they only get half the stack size they are supposed to have, which
makes deep SP recursion overrun the stack before check_stack_overrun() is triggered.
Also made som minor fixes in the check_stack_overrun() definition, supporting variable
margins.
No test case added, but the reason for the bug report was a failed existing test case
on these machines, which now works.
Windows to call CreateFileMapping() with correct arguments, and
propogating the introduction of query_id_t to everywhere query ids are
passed around. (Bug #8826)
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
Added test cases for bug #7351.
item_cmpfunc.cc:
Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a
subquery returning empty set.
If in the predicate v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond)
v is null, then the result of the predicate is either
INKNOWN or FALSE. It is FALSE if the subquery returns
an empty set.
item_subselect.cc:
Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a
subquery returning empty set.
The problem was due to not a quite legal transformation
for 'IN' subqueries. A subquery containing a predicate
of the form
v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond)
was transformed into
EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (a=v OR a IS NULL)).
Yet, this transformation is valid only if v is not null.
If v is null, then, in the case when
(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond) returns an empty set the value
of the predicate is FALSE, otherwise the result of the
predicate is INKNOWN.
The fix resolves this problem by changing the result
of the transformation to
EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (v IS NULL OR (a=v OR a IS NULL)))
in the case when v is nullable.
The new transformation prevents applying the lookup
optimization for IN subqueries. To make it still
applicable we have to introduce guarded access methods.
Now thd->mem_root is a pointer to thd->main_mem_root and THR_MALLOC is a pointer to thd->mem_root.
This gives us the following benefits:
- Allow us to easily detect if arena has already been swapped before (this fixes a bug in setup_conds() where arena was swaped twice in some cases)
- Faster swaps of arenas (as we don't have to copy the whole MEM_ROOT)
- We don't anymore have to call my_pthread_setspecific_ptr(THR_MALLOC,...) to change where memory is alloced. Now it's enough to set thd->mem_root
improved mechanisn of detection posibility to be NULL for single row queries
switched off substitution optimisation for single row subqueries in PS due to problem in resolving substituted expressions

New mysqltest that can run mysqltest with PS
Added support for ZEROFILL in PS

Updated test cases to support --ps-protocol
(Some tests are still run using old protocol)
Fixed crash in PS when using SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2...
Fixed crash in PS when using sub queries
Create table didn't signal when table was created. This could cause a "DROP TABLE created_table" in another thread to wait "forever"
Fixed wrong permissions check in PS and multi-table updates (one could get permission denied for legal quries)
Fix for PS and SELECT ... PROCEDURE
Reset all warnings when executing a new PS query
group_concat(...ORDER BY) didn't work with PS
Fixed problem with test suite when not using innodb
Fixed (together with Guilhem) bugs in mysqlbinlog regarding --offset
Prefix addresses with 0x for easier comparisons of debug logs
Fixed problem where MySQL choosed index-read even if there would be a much better range on the same index
This fix changed some 'index' queries to 'range' queries in the test suite
Don't create 'dummy' WHERE clause for trivial WHERE clauses where we can remove the WHERE clause.
This fix removed of a lot of 'Using where' notes in the test suite.
Give NOTE instead of WARNING if table/function doesn't exists when using DROP IF EXISTS
Give NOTE instead of WARNING for safe field-type conversions
a second time". The bug was caused by incompatibility of
negations elimination algorithm and PS: during first statement
execute a subtree with negation was replaced with equivalent
subtree without NOTs.
The problem was that although this transformation was permanent,
items of the new subtree were created in execute-local memory.
The patch adds means to check if it is the first execute of a
prepared statement, and if this is the case, to allocate items
in memory of the prepared statement.
The implementation:
- backports Item_arena from 5.0
- adds Item_arena::is_stmt_prepare(),
Item_arena::is_first_stmt_execute().
- deletes THD::allocate_temporary_pool_for_ps_preparing(),
THD::free_temporary_pool_for_ps_preparing(); they
were redundant.
and adds a few invariants:
- thd->free_list never contains junk (= freed items)
- thd->current_arena is never null. If there is no
prepared statement, it points at the thd.
The rest of the patch contains mainly mechanical changes and
cleanups.
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
This bug happens when a query, having subselects in the fields list,
needs temporary table.
Item_subselect::get_tmp_table_item isn't implemented and just returns
*this. So the tmp_table_item takes value not from temporary but
from original table.
Fixed compiler warnings (a lot of hidden variables detected by the Forte compiler)
Added a lot of 'version_xxx' strings to 'show variables'
Prevent copying of TMP_TABLE_PARAM (This caused core dump bug on Solaris)
Fixed problem with printing sub selects to debug log
