with dependent subqueries
An IN subquery is executed on EXPLAIN when it's not correlated.
If the subquery required a temporary table for its execution
not all the internal structures were restored from pointing to
the items of the temporary table to point back to the items of
the subquery.
Fixed by restoring the ref array when a temp tables were used in
executing the IN subquery during EXPLAIN EXTENDED.
The test case for the bug#31048 checks that there is no crash on stack
overrun. But due to different stack sizes on different platforms it failed
on some of them.
The new test case check that a query with at least 4 level subquery nesting
works without the stack overrun nesting and other levels of nesting doesn't
cause a crash.
but not collation.
The problem here was that text literals in a view were always
dumped with character set introducer. That lead to loosing
collation information.
The fix is to dump character set introducer only if it was
in the original query. That is now possible because there
is no problem any more of loss of character set of string
literals in views -- after WL#4052 the view is dumped
in the original character set.
The problem occurred when one had a subquery that had an equality X=Y where
Y referred to a named select list expression from the parent select. MySQL
crashed when trying to use the X=Y equality for ref-based access.
Fixed by allowing non-Item_field items in the described case.
server crash.
The filesort implementation has an optimization for subquery execution which
consists of reusing previously allocated buffers. In particular the call to
the read_buffpek_from_file function might be skipped when a big enough buffer
for buffer descriptors (buffpeks) is already allocated. Beside allocating
memory for buffpeks this function fills allocated buffer with data read from
disk. Skipping it might led to using an arbitrary memory as fields' data and
finally to a crash.
Now the read_buffpek_from_file function is always called. It allocates
new buffer only when necessary, but always fill it with correct data.
Default values of variables were not subject to upper/lower bounds
and step, while setting variables was. Bounds and step are also
applied to defaults now; defaults are corrected quietly, values
given by the user are corrected, and a correction-warning is thrown
as needed. Lastly, very large values could wrap around, starting
from 0 again. They are bounded at the maximum value for the
respective data-type now if no lower maximum is specified in the
variable's definition.
crashes MySQL 5.122
There was a difference in how UNIONs are handled
on top level and when in sub-query.
Because the rules for sub-queries were syntactically
allowing cases that are not currently supported by
the server we had crashes (this bug) or wrong results
(bug 32051).
Fixed by making the syntax rules for UNIONs match the
ones at top level.
These rules however do not support nesting UNIONs, e.g.
(SELECT a FROM t1 UNION ALL SELECT b FROM t2)
UNION
(SELECT c FROM t3 UNION ALL SELECT d FROM t4)
Supports for statements with nested UNIONs will be
added in a future version.
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.
only on some occasions
Referencing an element from the SELECT list in a WHERE
clause is not permitted. The namespace of the WHERE
clause is the table columns only. This was not enforced
correctly when resolving outer references in sub-queries.
Fixed by not allowing references to aliases in a
sub-query in WHERE.
This bug is actually two. The first one manifests itself on an EXPLAIN
SELECT query with nested subqueries that employs the filesort algorithm.
The whole SELECT under explain is marked as UNCACHEABLE_EXPLAIN to preserve
some temporary structures for explain. As a side-effect of this values of
nested subqueries weren't cached and subqueries were re-evaluated many
times. Each time buffer for filesort was allocated but wasn't freed because
freeing occurs at the end of topmost SELECT. Thus all available memory was
eaten up step by step and OOM event occur.
The second bug manifests itself on SELECT queries with conditions where
a subquery result is compared with a key field and the subquery itself also
has such condition. When a long chain of such nested subqueries is present
the stack overrun occur. This happens because at some point the range optimizer
temporary puts the PARAM structure on the stack. Its size if about 8K and
the stack is exhausted very fast.
Now the subselect_single_select_engine::exec function allows subquery result
caching when the UNCACHEABLE_EXPLAIN flag is set.
Now the SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select function calls the check_stack_overrun
function for stack checking purposes to prevent server crash.
After adding an index the <VARBINARY> IN (SELECT <BINARY> ...)
clause returned a wrong result: the VARBINARY value was illegally padded
with zero bytes to the length of the BINARY column for the index search.
(<VARBINARY>, ...) IN (SELECT <BINARY>, ... ) clauses are affected too.
Item_in_subselect's only externally callable method is val_bool().
However the nullability in the wrapper class (Item_in_optimizer) is
established by calling the "forbidden" method val_int().
Fixed to use the correct method (val_bool() ) to establish nullability
of Item_in_subselect in Item_in_optimizer.
This patch adds cost estimation for the queries with ORDER BY / GROUP BY
and LIMIT.
If there was a ref/range access to the table whose rows were required
to be ordered in the result set the optimizer always employed this access
though a scan by a different index that was compatible with the required
order could be cheaper to produce the first L rows of the result set.
Now for such queries the optimizer makes a choice between the cheapest
ref/range accesses not compatible with the given order and index scans
compatible with it.
query / no aggregate of subquery
The optimizer counts the aggregate functions that
appear as top level expressions (in all_fields) in
the current subquery. Later it makes a list of these
that it uses to actually execute the aggregates in
end_send_group().
That count is used in several places as a flag whether
there are aggregates functions.
While collecting the above info it must not consider
aggregates that are not aggregated in the current
context. It must treat them as normal expressions
instead. Not doing that leads to incorrect data about
the query, e.g. running a query that actually has no
aggregate functions as if it has some (and hence is
expected to return only one row).
Fixed by ignoring the aggregates that are not aggregated
in the current context.
One other smaller omission discovered and fixed in the
process : the place of aggregation was not calculated for
user defined functions. Fixed by calling
Item_sum::init_sum_func_check() and
Item_sum::check_sum_func() as it's done for the rest of
the aggregate functions.
ORDER BY and LIMIT 1.
The bug was introduced by the patch for bug 21727. The patch
erroneously skipped initialization of the array of headers
for sorted records for non-first evaluations of the subquery.
To fix the problem a new parameter has been added to the
function make_char_array that performs the initialization.
Now this function is called for any invocation of the
filesort procedure. Yet it allocates the buffer for sorted
records only if this parameter is NULL.
using a derived table over a grouping subselect.
This crash happens only when materialization of the derived tables
requires creation of auxiliary temporary table, for example when
a grouping operation is carried out with usage of a temporary table.
The crash happened because EXPLAIN EXTENDED when printing the query
expression made an attempt to use the objects created in the mem_root
of the temporary table which has been already freed by the moment
when printing is called.
This bug appeared after the method Item_field::print() had been
introduced.
