transparently compatible with os_file_t.
This patch is a correction of the patch for bug mdev-12670.
With the current code handling semi-joins the following must
be taken into account.
Conversion of an IN subquery predicate into semi-join
has to be blocked if the predicate occurs:
(a) in the ON expression of an outer join
(b) in the ON expression of an inner join embedded directly
or indirectly in the inner nest of an outer join.
The patch for mdev-12670 blocked conversion to semi-joins only
in the case (a), but not in the case (b). This patch blocks
the conversion in both cases.
The code that blocked conversion of a IN subselect pedicate to a semi-join
if it occurred in the ON expression of an outer join did not do it correctly.
As a result, the conversion was blocked for IN subselect predicates
encountered in ON expressions of INNER joins or in WHERE conditions
of mergeable views / derived tables. This patch fixes this problem.
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.
When one evaluates row-based comparison like (X, Y) = (A,B), one should
first call bring_value() for the Item that returns row value. If you
don't do that and just attempt to read values of X and Y, you get stale
values.
Semi-join/Materialization can take a row-based comparison apart and
make ref access from it. In that case, we need to call bring_value()
to get the index lookup components.
Consider a query with subquery in form t.key=(select ...). Suppose, the
parent query uses this equality for ref access.
It will attempt to evaluate the subquery in get_best_combination(),
right before the join->join_tab[...] array is filled. The problem was
that subquery optimization will attempt to look at parent's join->join_tab
to check how many times subquery will be executed (and crash).
Fixed by not doing that when the subquery is constant (non-constant
subqueries are only be evaluated during join execution, so they are not
affected)
convert_subq_to_sj() must check the results of in_equality->fix_fields()
call. It can fail in a meaningful way when e.g. we're trying to compare
columns with incompatible collations.
The method JOIN_CACHE::init may fail (return 1) if some conditions on the
used join buffer is not satisfied. For example it fails if join_buffer_size
is greater than join_buffer_space_limit. The conditions should be checked
when running the EXPLAIN command for the query. That's why the method
JOIN_CACHE::init has to be called for EXPLAIN commands as well.
- The problem was that JOIN::prepare() tried to set TABLE::maybe_null
for a table in join. Non-merged semi-join tables 1) are present as
join's base tables on second EXECUTE, but 2) do not yet have a TABLE
object.
Worked around the problem by putting mixed_implicit_grouping into JOIN
object, and then passing it to JTBM tables in setup_jtbm_semi_joins().
- Don't pull out a table out of a semi-join if it is on the inner side of an outer join.
- Make join->sort_by_table= get_sort_by_table(...) call after const table detection
is done. That way, the value of join->sort_by_table will match the actual execution.
Which will allow the code in setup_semijoin_dups_elimination() (search for
"Make sure that possible sorting of rows from the head table is not to be employed."
to see that "Using filesort" is going to be used together with Duplicate Elimination (
and change it to Using temporary + Using filesort)
BNL and BNLH joins pre-filter the records from a joined table via JOIN_TAB::cache_select->cond.
There is no need to re-evaluate the same conditions via JOIN_TAB::select_cond. This patch removes
the duplicated conditions from the top-level conjuncts of each pushed condition.
The added "Using where" in few EXPLAINs is due to taking into account tab->cache_select->cond
in addition to tab->select_cond in JOIN::save_explain_data_intern.
The code of JOIN::optimize that performed substitutions for the best equal
field in all ref items did not take into account that a multiple equality
could contain the result of the single-value subquery if the subquery is
inexpensive. This code was corrected.
Also made necessary corresponding corrections in the code of make_join_select().
Apply the patch from Patryk Pomykalski:
- create_internal_tmp_table_from_heap() will now return information whether
the last row that we tried to write was a duplicate row.
(mysql-5.6 also has this change)
- Call tmp_having->update_used_tables() *before* we have call JOIN::cleanup().
Making the call after join::cleanup() is not allowed, because subquery
predicate items walk parent join's JOIN_TAB structures. Which can be
invalidated by JOIN::cleanup().
The wrong result set returned by the left join query from
the bug test case happened due to several inconsistencies
and bugs of the legacy mysql code.
The bug test case uses an execution plan that employs a scan
of a materialized IN subquery from the WHERE condition.
When materializing such an IN- subquery the optimizer injects
additional equalities into the WHERE clause. These equalities
express the constraints imposed by the subquery predicate.
The injected equality of the query in the test case happens
to belong to the same equality class, and a new equality
imposing a condition on the rows of the materialized subquery
is inferred from this class. Simultaneously the multiple
equality is added to the ON expression of the LEFT JOIN
used in the main query.
The inferred equality of the form f1=f2 is taken into account
when optimizing the scan of the rows the temporary table
that is the result of the subquery materialization: only the
values of the field f1 are read from the table into the record
buffer. Meanwhile the inferred equality is removed from the
WHERE conditions altogether as a constraint on the fields
of the temporary table that has been used when filling this table.
This equality is supposed to be removed from the ON expression
when the multiple equalities of the ON expression are converted
into an optimal set of equality predicates. It supposed to be
removed from the ON expression as an equality inferred from only
equalities of the WHERE condition. Yet, it did not happened
due to the following bug in the code.
Erroneously the code tried to build multiple equality for ON
expression twice: the first time, when it called optimize_cond()
for the WHERE condition, the second time, when it called
this function for the HAVING condition. When executing
optimize_con() for the WHERE condition a reference
to the multiple equality of the WHERE condition is set
in the multiple equality of the ON expression. This reference
would allow later to convert multiple equalities of the
ON expression into equality predicates. However the
the second call of build_equal_items() for the ON expression
that happened when optimize_cond() was called for the
HAVING condition reset this reference to NULL.
This bug fix blocks calling build_equal_items() for ON
expressions for the second time. In general, it will be
beneficial for many queries as it removes from ON
expressions any equalities that are to be checked for the
WHERE condition.
The patch also fixes two bugs in the list manipulation
operations and a bug in the function
substitute_for_best_equal_field() that resulted
in passing wrong reference to the multiple equalities
of where conditions when processing multiple
equalities of ON expressions.
The code of substitute_for_best_equal_field() and
the code the helper function eliminate_item_equal()
were also streamlined and cleaned up.
Now the conversion of the multiple equalities into
an optimal set of equality predicates first produces
the sequence of the all equalities processing multiple
equalities one by one, and, only after this, it inserts
the equalities at the beginning of the other conditions.
The multiple changes in the output of EXPLAIN
EXTENDED are mainly the result of this streamlining,
but in some cases is the result of the removal of
unneeded equalities from ON expressions. In
some test cases this removal were reflected in the
output of EXPLAIN resulted in disappearance of
“Using where” in some rows of the execution plans.
