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.
Analysis:
The fix for lp:944706 introduces early subquery optimization.
While a subquery is being optimized some of its predicates may be
removed. In the test case, the EXISTS subquery is constant, and is
evaluated to TRUE. As a result the whole OR is TRUE, and thus the
correlated condition "b = alias1.b" is optimized away. The subquery
becomes non-correlated.
The subquery cache is designed to work only for correlated subqueries.
If constant subquery optimization is disallowed, then the constant
subquery is not evaluated, the subquery remains correlated, and its
execution is cached. As a result execution is fast.
However, when the constant subquery was optimized away, it was neither
cached by the subquery cache, nor it was cached by the internal subquery
caching. The latter was due to the fact that the subquery still appeared
as correlated to the subselect_XYZ_engine::exec methods, and they
re-executed the subquery on each call to Item_subselect::exec.
Solution:
The solution is to update the correlated status of the subquery after it has
been optimized. This status consists of:
- st_select_lex::is_correlated
- Item_subselect::is_correlated
- SELECT_LEX::uncacheable
- SELECT_LEX_UNIT::uncacheable
The status is updated by st_select_lex::update_correlated_cache(), and its
caller st_select_lex::optimize_unflattened_subqueries. The solution relies
on the fact that the optimizer already called
st_select_lex::update_used_tables() for each subquery. This allows to
efficiently update the correlated status of each subquery without walking
the whole subquery tree.
Notice that his patch is an improvement over MySQL 5.6 and older, where
subqueries are not pre-optimized, and the above analysis is not possible.
The patch enables back constant subquery execution during
query optimization after it was disabled during the development
of MWL#89 (cost-based choice of IN-TO-EXISTS vs MATERIALIZATION).
The main idea is that constant subqueries are allowed to be executed
during optimization if their execution is not expensive.
The approach is as follows:
- Constant subqueries are recursively optimized in the beginning of
JOIN::optimize of the outer query. This is done by the new method
JOIN::optimize_constant_subqueries(). This is done so that the cost
of executing these queries can be estimated.
- Optimization of the outer query proceeds normally. During this phase
the optimizer may request execution of non-expensive constant subqueries.
Each place where the optimizer may potentially execute an expensive
expression is guarded with the predicate Item::is_expensive().
- The implementation of Item_subselect::is_expensive has been extended
to use the number of examined rows (estimated by the optimizer) as a
way to determine whether the subquery is expensive or not.
- The new system variable "expensive_subquery_limit" controls how many
examined rows are considered to be not expensive. The default is 100.
In addition, multiple changes were needed to make this solution work
in the light of the changes made by MWL#89. These changes were needed
to fix various crashes and wrong results, and legacy bugs discovered
during development.
The not_null_tables() of Item_func_not_all and Item_in_optimizer was inherited from
Item_func by mistake. It made the optimizer think that subquery
predicates with ALL/ANY/IN were null-rejecting. This could trigger invalid
conversions of outer joins into inner joins.

This bug appeared after the patch for bug 939009 that in the
function merge_key_fields forgot to reset a proper value for
the val field in the result of the merge operation of the key
field created for a regular key access and the key field
created to look for a NULL key.
Adjusted the results of the test case for bug 939009 that
actually were incorrect.

This bug is a duplicate of bug 12567331, which was pushed to the
optimizer backporting tree on 2011-06-11. This is just a back-port of
the fix. Both test cases are included as they differ somewhat.
