Due to a legacy bug in the code of make_join_statistics() detecting
so-called constant tables could miss some of them in rare queries
that used RIGHT JOIN. As a result these queries had execution plans
different from the execution plans of the equivalent queries with
LEFT JOIN.
Besides starting from 10.2 this could trigger an assertion failure.
Conversion of a subquery to a semi-join is blocked when we have an
IN subquery predicate in the on_expr of an outer join. Currently this
scenario is handled but the cases when an IN subquery predicate is wrapped
inside a Item_in_optimizer item then this blocking is not done.
For BIT field null_bit is not set to 0 even for a field defined as NOT NULL.
So now in the function TABLE::create_key_part_by_field, if the bit field is not nullable
then the null_bit is explicitly set to 0
Also fixed a wrong result for a test case for mdev-7691
(the alternative one).
The test cases for all these bug have materialized semi-joins used
inside dependent sub-queries.
The patch actually reverts the change inroduced by Monty in 2003.
It looks like this change is not valid anymore after the implementation
of semi-joins.
Adjusted output from EXPLAIN for many other test cases.
- TABLE::create_key_part_by_field() should not set PART_KEY_FLAG in field->flags
= The reason is that it is used by hash join code which calls it to create a hash
table lookup structure. It doesn't create a real index.
= Another caller of the function is TABLE::add_tmp_key(). Made it to set the flag itself.
- The differences in join_cache.result could also be observed before this patch: one
could put "FLUSH TABLES" before the queries and get exactly the same difference.
update_used_tables for the the where condition to update cached
indicators of constant subexpressions. It should be done before further
possible simplification of the where condition.
This change caused simplification of the executed where conditions
in many test cases.
The earlier pushed fix for the bug was incomplete. It did not remove
the main cause of the problem: the function remove_eq_conds()
removed always true multiple equalities from any conjunct, but did not
adjust the list of them stored in Item_cond_and::cond_equal.current_level.
Simplified the test case for the bug and moved it to another test file.
The fix triggered changes in EXPLAIN EXTENDED for some queries.
When a non-nullable datetime field is used under an IS NULL predicate
of the WHERE condition in a query with outer joins the remove_eq_conds
function should check whether this field belongs to an inner table
of any outer join that can be, in a general case, a nested outer join.
When in function remove_eq_conds() a sub-formula of the processed condition
is replaced for another formula we should ensure that in the resulting
formula AND/OR levels must alternate.
The patch to fix mdev-4418 turned out to be incorrect.
At the substitution of single row tables in make_join_statistics()
the used multiple equalities may change and references to the new multiple
equalities must be updated. The function remove_eq_conds() takes care of it and
it should be called right after the substitution of single row tables.
Calling it after the call of make_join_statistics was a mistake.
After single row substitutions there might appear new equalities.
They should be properly propagated to all AND/OR levels the WHERE
condition. It's done now with an additional call of remove_eq_conds().
- Modify the way Item_cond::fix_fields() and Item_cond::eval_not_null_tables()
calculate bitmap for Item_cond_or::not_null_tables():
if they see a "... OR inexpensive_const_false_item OR ..." then the item can
be ignored.
- Updated test results. There can be more warnings produced since parts of WHERE
are evaluated more times.
When iterating over a list of conditions using List_iterator
the function remove_eq_conds should skip all predicates that
replace a condition from the list. Otherwise it can come to
an infinite recursion.
The function remove_eq_cond removes the parts of a disjunction
for which it has been proved that they are always true. In the
result of this removal the disjunction may be converted into a
formula without OR that must be merged into the the AND formula
that contains the disjunction.
The merging of two AND conditions must take into account the
multiple equalities that may be part of each of them.
These multiple equality must be merged and become part of the
and object built as the result of the merge of the AND conditions.
Erroneously the function remove_eq_cond lacked the code that
would merge multiple equalities of the merged AND conditions.
This could lead to confusing situations when at the same AND
level there were two multiple equalities with common members
and the list of equal items contained only some of these
multiple equalities.
This, in its turn, could lead to an incorrect work of the
function substitute_for_best_equal_field when it tried to optimize
ref accesses. This resulted in forming invalid TABLE_REF objects
that were used to build look-up keys when materialized subqueries
were exploited.

sql/item.h:
Implement Item_outer_ref::not_null_tables()
from a MERGE view.
The problem was in the lost ability to be null for the table of a left join if it
is a view/derived table.
It hapenned because setup_table_map(), was called earlier then we merged
the view or derived.
Fixed by propagating new maybe_null flag during Item::update_used_tables().
Change in join_outer.test and join_outer_jcl6.test appeared because
IS NULL reported no used tables (i.e. constant) for argument which could not be
NULL and new maybe_null flag was propagated for IS NULL argument (Item_field)
because table the Item_field belonged to changed its maybe_null status.
Analysis:
When the method JOIN::choose_subquery_plan() decided to apply
the IN-TO-EXISTS strategy, it set the unit and select_lex
uncacheable flag to UNCACHEABLE_DEPENDENT_INJECTED unconditionally.
As result, even if IN-TO-EXISTS injected non-correlated predicates,
the subquery was still treated as correlated.
Solution:
Set the subquery as correlated only if the injected predicate(s) depend
on the outer query.
