Item_func_coalesce::fix_length_and_dec() calls
Item_func::count_string_result_length()) which called agg_arg_charsets()
with wrong flags, so the collation derivation of the COALESCE result was
not properly set to DERIVATION_COERCIBLE. It erroneously stayed
DERIVATION_NUMERIC. So GREATEST() misinterpreted the argument as
a number rather that a string and did not calculate its own length properly.
It was used only temporary, during udf_handler::fix_fields() time,
and then copied to the owner Item_func_or_sum object.
Changing the code to use the Used_tables_and_const_cache part
of the owner Item_sum_or_func object directly.
Issue:
======
The fulltext predicate is inside a subquery and involves
an outer reference; it thus cannot be used for FT index look-up,
but MySQL does not see it, which causes a illegal access.
Solution:
=========
Solution is backported from bug#21140088. Outer reference can
not be used as argument of the MATCH function. Added check for
outer reference.
The problem was that GROUP BY code created Item_field objects
that referred to fields in the temp. tables used for GROUP BY.
Item_ref and set_items_ref_array() call caused pointers to temp.
table fields to occur in many places.
This patch introduces Item_temptable_field, which can handle
item->print() calls made after the underlying table is freed.
Item_func_hybrid_field_type did not return correct field_type(), cmp_type()
and result_type() in some cases, because cached_result_type and
cached_field_type were set in independent pieces of the code and
did not properly match to each other.
Fix:
- Removing Item_func_hybrid_result_type
- Deriving Item_func_hybrid_field_type directly from Item_func
- Introducing a new class Type_handler which guarantees that
field_type(), cmp_type() and result_type() are always properly synchronized
and using the new class in Item_func_hybrid_field_type.
WHERE COALESCE(time_column)=TIME('00:00:00')
AND COALESCE(time_column)=DATE('2015-09-11')
MDEV-8814 Wrong result for WHERE datetime_column > TIME('00:00:00')
MDEV-8754 Wrong result for SELECT..WHERE year_field=2020 AND NULLIF(year_field,2010)='2020'
Problems:
1. Item_func_nullif stored a copy of args[0] in a private member m_args0_copy,
which was invisible for the inherited Item_func menthods, like
update_used_tables(). As a result, after equal field propagation
things like Item_func_nullif::const_item() could return wrong result
and a non-constant NULLIF() was erroneously treated as a constant
at optimize_cond() time.
Solution: removing m_args0_copy and storing the return value item
in args[2] instead.
2. Equal field propagation did not work well for Item_fun_nullif.
Solution: using ANY_SUBST for args[0] and args[1], as they are in
comparison, and IDENTITY_SUBST for args[2], as it's not in comparison.
removing IMPOSSIBLE_RESULT from Item_result, as it's not
needed any more. The fact that an Item is not in a comparison
context is now always designated by IDENTITY_SUBST in Subst_constraint.
Previously IMPOSSIBLE_RESULT and IDENTITY_SUBST co-existed but
actually meant the same thing.
- Part 4: Removing calls to sql_alloc() and sql_calloc()
Other things:
- Added current_thd in some places to make it clear that it's called (easier to remove later)
- Move memory allocation from Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec() to Item_func_case::fix_fields()
- Added mem_root to some new calls
- Fixed some wrong UNINIT_VAR() calls
- Fixed a bug in generate_partition_syntax() in case of errors
- Added mem_root to argument to new thread_info
- Simplified my_parse_error() call in sql_yacc.yy
- Part 3: Adding mem_root to push_back() and push_front()
Other things:
- Added THD as an argument to some partition functions.
- Added memory overflow checking for XML tag's in read_xml()
- Added mem_root to all calls to new Item
- Added private method operator new(size_t size) to Item to ensure that
we always use a mem_root when creating an item.
This saves use once call to current_thd per Item creation
Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.
Problem was that for queries of type:
select rand() r, rand() p, rand() = rand() from a having r = p
The optimizer thought that r = p was same as rand() = rand() and this would always be true.
The problem was that when testing if two expressions are equal, we didn't take into account no determinstic functions.
The fix is to not compare non deterministic functions as equal.
- Changed ER(ER_...) to ER_THD(thd, ER_...) when thd was known or if there was many calls to current_thd in the same function.
- Changed ER(ER_..) to ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT(current_thd, ER...) in some places where current_thd is not necessary defined.
- Removing calls to current_thd when we have access to thd
Part of this is optimization (not calling current_thd when not needed),
but part is bug fixing for error condition when current_thd is not defined
(For example on startup and end of mysqld)
Notable renames done as otherwise a lot of functions would have to be changed:
- In JOIN structure renamed:
examined_rows -> join_examined_rows
record_count -> join_record_count
- In Field, renamed new_field() to make_new_field()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ASSERT(thd == tmp_thd) in Item_singlerow_subselect() just to be safe.
- Removed old 'tab' prefix in JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data() and use members directly
- Added 'thd' as argument to a few functions to avoid calling current_thd.
Fixed several optimizer issues relatied to GROUP BY:
a) Refering to a SELECT column in HAVING sometimes calculated it twice, which caused problems with non determinstic functions
b) Removing duplicate fields and constants from GROUP BY was done too late for "using index for group by" optimization to work
c) EXPLAIN SELECT ... GROUP BY did wrongly show 'Using filesort' in some cases involving "Using index for group-by"
a) was fixed by:
- Changed last argument to Item::split_sum_func2() from bool to int to allow more flags
- Added flag argument to Item::split_sum_func() to allow on to specify if the item was in the SELECT part
- Mark all split_sum_func() calls from SELECT with SPLIT_SUM_SELECT
- Changed split_sum_func2() to do nothing if called with an argument that is not a sum function and doesn't include sum functions, if we are not an argument to SELECT.
This ensures that in a case like
select a*sum(b) as f1 from t1 where a=1 group by c having f1 <= 10;
That 'a' in the SELECT part is stored as a reference in the temporary table togeher with sum(b) while the 'a' in having isn't (not needed as 'a' is already a reference to a column in the result)
b) was fixed by:
- Added an extra remove_const() pass for GROUP BY arguments before make_join_statistics() in case of one table SELECT.
This allowes get_best_group_min_max() to optimize things better.
c) was fixed by:
- Added test for group by optimization in JOIN::exec_inner for
select->quick->get_type() == QUICK_SELECT_I::QS_TYPE_GROUP_MIN_MAX
item.cc:
- Simplifed Item::split_sum_func2()
- Split test to make them faster and easier to read
- Changed last argument to Item::split_sum_func2() from bool to int to allow more flags
- Added flag argument to Item::split_sum_func() to allow on to specify if the item was in the SELECT part
- Changed split_sum_func2() to do nothing if called with an argument that is not a sum function and doesn't include sum functions, if we are not an argument to SELECT.
opt_range.cc:
- Simplified get_best_group_min_max() by calcuating first how many group_by elements.
- Use join->group instead of join->group_list to test if group by, as join->group_list may be NULL if everything was optimized away.
sql_select.cc:
- Added an extra remove_const() pass for GROUP BY arguments before make_join_statistics() in case of one table SELECT.
- Use group instead of group_list to test if group by, as group_list may be NULL if everything was optimized away.
- Moved printing of "Error in remove_const" to remove_const() instead of having it in caller.
- Simplified some if tests by re-ordering code.
- update_depend_map_for_order() and remove_const() fixed to handle the case where make_join_statistics() has not yet been called (join->join_tab is 0 in this case)
count_sargable_conds() instead for Item_func_in, Item_func_null_predicate,
Item_bool_func2. There other Item_int_func descendants that used to set
"sargable" to true (Item_func_between, Item_equal) already have their
own implementation of count_sargable_conds(). There is no sense to
have two parallel coding models for the same thing.
- Adding a new class Item_args, represending regular function or
aggregate function arguments array.
- Adding a new class Item_func_or_sum,
a parent class for Item_func and Item_sum
- Moving Item_result_field::name() to Item_func_or_sum(),
as name() is not needed on Item_result_field level.
