Index lookup does not always guarantee that we can
simply remove the relevant conditions from the WHERE
clause. Reasons can be e.g. conversion errors,
partial indexes etc.
The optimizer was removing these parts of the WHERE
condition without any further checking.
This leads to "false positives" when using indexes.
Fixed by checking the index reference conditions
(using WHERE) when using indexes with sub-queries.
Loose index scan does the grouping so the temp table does
not need to do it, even when sorting.
Fixed by checking if the grouping is already done before
doing sorting and grouping in a temp table and do only
sorting.
Server failed in assert() when we tried to create a DECIMAL() temp field
with a scale of more than the allowed 30. Now we limit the scale to the
allowed maximum. A truncation warning is thrown as necessary.
checked for each record'
The problem was in incorrectly calculated length of the buffer used to
store a hexadecimal representation of an index map in
select_describe(). This could result in buffer overrun and stack
corruption under some circumstances.
Fixed by correcting the calculation.

Bug 26379 - Combination of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE
corrupts a MERGE table
1. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting while
REPAIR TABLE or a similar table administration task is ongoing on
one or more of its MyISAM tables.
2. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting until all
threads that did REPAIR TABLE or similar table administration tasks
on one or more of its MyISAM tables in LOCK TABLES segments do UNLOCK
TABLES. The difference against problem #1 is that the busy waiting
takes place *after* the administration task. It is terminated by
UNLOCK TABLES only.
3. Two FLUSH TABLES within a LOCK TABLES segment can invalidate the
lock. This does *not* require a MERGE table. The first FLUSH TABLES
can be replaced by any statement that requires other threads to
reopen the table. In 5.0 and 5.1 a single FLUSH TABLES can provoke
the problem.
Bug 26867 - LOCK TABLES + REPAIR + merge table result in
memory/cpu hogging
Trying DML on a MERGE table, which has a child locked and
repaired by another thread, made an infinite loop in the server.
Bug 26377 - Deadlock with MERGE and FLUSH TABLE
Locking a MERGE table and its children in parent-child order
and flushing the child deadlocked the server.
Bug 25038 - Waiting TRUNCATE
Truncating a MERGE child, while the MERGE table was in use,
let the truncate fail instead of waiting for the table to
become free.
Bug 25700 - merge base tables get corrupted by
optimize/analyze/repair table
Repairing a child of an open MERGE table corrupted the child.
It was necessary to FLUSH the child first.
Bug 30275 - Merge tables: flush tables or unlock tables
causes server to crash
Flushing and optimizing locked MERGE children crashed the server.
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking
Use of a temporary MERGE table with non-temporary children
could corrupt the children.
Temporary tables are never locked. So we do now prohibit
non-temporary chidlren of a temporary MERGE table.
Bug 27660 - Falcon: merge table possible
It was possible to create a MERGE table with non-MyISAM children.
Bug 30273 - merge tables: Can't lock file (errno: 155)
This was a Windows-only bug. Table administration statements
sometimes failed with "Can't lock file (errno: 155)".
These bugs are fixed by a new implementation of MERGE table open.
When opening a MERGE table in open_tables() we do now add the
child tables to the list of tables to be opened by open_tables()
(the "query_list"). The children are not opened in the handler at
this stage.
After opening the parent, open_tables() opens each child from the
now extended query_list. When the last child is opened, we remove
the children from the query_list again and attach the children to
the parent. This behaves similar to the old open. However it does
not open the MyISAM tables directly, but grabs them from the already
open children.
When closing a MERGE table in close_thread_table() we detach the
children only. Closing of the children is done implicitly because
they are in thd->open_tables.
For more detail see the comment at the top of ha_myisammrg.cc.
Changed from open_ltable() to open_and_lock_tables() in all places
that can be relevant for MERGE tables. The latter can handle tables
added to the list on the fly. When open_ltable() was used in a loop
over a list of tables, the list must be temporarily terminated
after every table for open_and_lock_tables().
table_list->required_type is set to FRMTYPE_TABLE to avoid open of
special tables. Handling of derived tables is suppressed.
These details are handled by the new function
open_n_lock_single_table(), which has nearly the same signature as
open_ltable() and can replace it in most cases.
In reopen_tables() some of the tables open by a thread can be
closed and reopened. When a MERGE child is affected, the parent
must be closed and reopened too. Closing of the parent is forced
before the first child is closed. Reopen happens in the order of
thd->open_tables. MERGE parents do not attach their children
automatically at open. This is done after all tables are reopened.
So all children are open when attaching them.
Special lock handling like mysql_lock_abort() or mysql_lock_remove()
needs to be suppressed for MERGE children or forwarded to the parent.
This depends on the situation. In loops over all open tables one
suppresses child lock handling. When a single table is touched,
forwarding is done.
Behavioral changes:
===================
This patch changes the behavior of temporary MERGE tables.
Temporary MERGE must have temporary children.
The old behavior was wrong. A temporary table is not locked. Hence
even non-temporary children were not locked. See
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking.
You cannot change the union list of a non-temporary MERGE table
when LOCK TABLES is in effect. The following does *not* work:
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ...;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 WRITE, m1 WRITE;
ALTER TABLE m1 ... UNION=(t1,t2) ...;
However, you can do this with a temporary MERGE table.
You cannot create a MERGE table with CREATE ... SELECT, neither
as a temporary MERGE table, nor as a non-temporary MERGE table.
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ... SELECT ...;
Gives error message: table is not BASE TABLE.
The columns in HAVING can reference the GROUP BY and
SELECT columns. There can be "table" prefixes when
referencing these columns. And these "table" prefixes
in HAVING use the table alias if available.
This means that table aliases are subject to the same
storage rules as table names and are dependent on
lower_case_table_names in the same way as the table
names are.
Fixed by :
1. Treating table aliases as table names
and make them lowercase when printing out the SQL
statement for view persistence.
2. Using case insensitive comparison for table
aliases when requested by lower_case_table_names
UNIQUE (eq-ref) lookups result in table being considered as a "constant" table.
Queries that consist of only constant tables are processed in do_select() in a
special way that doesn't invoke evaluate_join_record(), and therefore doesn't
increase the counters join->examined_rows and join->thd->row_count.
The patch increases these counters in this special case.
NOTICE:
This behavior seems to contradict what the documentation says in Sect. 5.11.4:
"Queries handled by the query cache are not added to the slow query log, nor
are queries that would not benefit from the presence of an index because the
table has zero rows or one row."
No test case in 5.0 as issue shows only in slow query log, and other counters
can give subtly different values (with regard to counting in create_sort_index(),
synthetic rows in ROLLUP, etc.).
The bug is a regression introduced by the fix for bug30596. The problem
was that in cases when groups in GROUP BY correspond to only one row,
and there is ORDER BY, the GROUP BY was removed and the ORDER BY
rewritten to ORDER BY <group_by_columns> without checking if the
columns in GROUP BY and ORDER BY are compatible. This led to
incorrect ordering of the result set as it was sorted using the
GROUP BY columns. Additionaly, the code discarded ASC/DESC modifiers
from ORDER BY even if its columns were compatible with the GROUP BY
ones.
This patch fixes the regression by checking if ORDER BY columns form a
prefix of the GROUP BY ones, and rewriting ORDER BY only in that case,
preserving the ASC/DESC modifiers. That check is sufficient, since the
GROUP BY columns contain a unique index.
and auto_increment keys
Problems:
1. ALTER TABLE ... ORDER BY... doesn't make sence if there's a
user-defined clustered index in the table.
2. using a secondary index is slower than using a clustered one
for a table scan.
Fixes:
1. raise a warning.
2. use the clustered index.
tables or more
The problem was that the optimizer used the join buffer in cases when
the result set is ordered by filesort. This resulted in the ORDER BY
clause being ignored, and the records being returned in the order
determined by the order of matching records in the last table in join.
Fixed by relaxing the condition in make_join_readinfo() to take
filesort-ordered result sets into account, not only index-ordered ones.
The fix for bug 31148 is not correct. It does not
have a relation to the problem described in this bug.
And removing the fix will not make the bug to re-appear.
Fixed the bug #31974 by removing the fix for bug 31148
and adding a test case.
The HAVING clause is subject to the same rules as the SELECT list
about using aggregated and non-aggregated columns.
But this was not enforced when processing implicit grouping from
using aggregate functions.
Fixed by performing the same checks for HAVING as for SELECT.
