from a heap temptable, which uses pointers to records (that is, byte*
pointers) as rowids.
This meant that for rows with the same sort key value, the order
was determined by memory layout.
fixed several defects in the greedy optimization:
1) The greedy optimizer calculated the 'compare-cost' (CPU-cost)
for iterating over the partial plan result at each level in
the query plan as 'record_count / (double) TIME_FOR_COMPARE'
This cost was only used locally for 'best' calculation at each
level, and *not* accumulated into the total cost for the query plan.
This fix added the 'CPU-cost' of processing 'current_record_count'
records at each level to 'current_read_time' *before* it is used as
'accumulated cost' argument to recursive
best_extension_by_limited_search() calls. This ensured that the
cost of a huge join-fanout early in the QEP was correctly
reflected in the cost of the final QEP.
To get identical cost for a 'best' optimized query and a
straight_join with the same join order, the same change was also
applied to optimize_straight_join() and get_partial_join_cost()
2) Furthermore to get equal cost for 'best' optimized query and a
straight_join the new code substrcated the same '0.001' in
optimize_straight_join() as it had been already done in
best_extension_by_limited_search()
3) When best_extension_by_limited_search() aggregated the 'best' plan a
plan was 'best' by the check :
'if ((search_depth == 1) || (current_read_time < join->best_read))'
The term '(search_depth == 1' incorrectly caused a new best plan to be
collected whenever the specified 'search_depth' was reached - even if
this partial query plan was more expensive than what we had already
found.
The patch differs from the original MySQL patch as follows:
- All test case differences have been reviewed one by one, and
care has been taken to restore the original plan so that each
test case executes the code path it was designed for.
- A bug was found and fixed in MariaDB 5.3 in
Item_allany_subselect::cleanup().
- ORDER BY is not removed because we are unsure of all effects,
and it would prevent enabling ORDER BY ... LIMIT subqueries.
- ref_pointer_array.m_size is not adjusted because we don't do
array bounds checking, and because it looks risky.
Original comment by Jorgen Loland:
-------------------------------------------------------------
WL#5953 - Optimize away useless subquery clauses
For IN/ALL/ANY/SOME/EXISTS subqueries, the following clauses are
meaningless:
* ORDER BY (since we don't support LIMIT in these subqueries)
* DISTINCT
* GROUP BY if there is no HAVING clause and no aggregate
functions
This WL detects and optimizes away these useless parts of the
query during JOIN::prepare()
- The problem was that const-table-reading code would try to evaluate MATCH()
before init_ftfuncs() was called.
- Fixed by making MATCH function "expensive" so that nobody tries to evaluate it
at optimization phase.
- Correctly handle plan refinement stage for LooseScan plans: run create_ref_for_key() if LooseScan
plan includes a ref access, and if we don't have any fixed key components, switch to a full index scan.
- Let JTBM optimization code handle the case where the subquery is degenerate and doesn't have a
join query plan. Regular materialization would fall back to IN->EXISTS for such cases. Semi-Join
materialization does not have such option, instead we introduce and use "constant JTBM join tabs".
- Do a "more thorough" cleanup of SJ-Materialization join tab in JOIN_TAB::cleanup. The bug
was due to the fact that JOIN_TAB::cleanup() may be called multiple times for the same tab
if the join has grouping.
- Changed storage to be 2 bytes instead of sizeof(size_t) (simple optimization)
- Fixed bug when using query_cache_strip_comments and query that started with '('
- Fixed DBUG_PRINT() that used wrong (not initialized) variables.

The range optimizer incorrectly chose a loose scan for group by
when there is a correlated WHERE condition. This range access
method cannot be executed for correlated conditions also with the
"range checked for each record" because generally the range access
method can change for each outer record. Loose scan destructively
changes the query plan and removes the GROUP operation, which will
result in wrong query plans if another range access is chosen
dynamically.
If the duplicate elimination strategy is used for a semi-join and potentially
one of the block-based join algorithms can be employed to join the inner
tables of the semi-join then sorting of the head (first non-constant) table
for a query with ORDER BY / GROUP BY cannot be used.
The function setup_sj_materialization_part1() forgot to set the value
of TABLE::map for any materialized IN subquery.
This could lead to wrong results for queries with subqueries that were
converted to queries with semijoins.
Analysis:
The class member QUICK_GROUP_MIN_MAX_SELECT::seen_first_key
was not reset between subquery re-executions. Thus each
subsequent execution continued from the group that was
reached by the previous subquery execution. As a result
loose scan reached end of file much earlier, and returned
empty result where it shouldn't.
Solution:
Reset seen_first_key before each re-execution of the
loose scan.
The execution plan cannot use sorting on the first table from the
sequence of the joined tables if it plans to employ the block-based
hash join algorithm.
- Part 1 of the fix: for semi-join merged subqueries, calling child_join->optimize() until we're done with all
PS-lifetime optimizations in the parent.
- Make create_tmp_table() set KEY_PART_INFO attributes for the keys it creates.
This wasn't needed before but is needed now, when temp. tables that are
results of SJ-Materialization are being used for joins.
This particular bug depended on HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART being set,
but also added code to set HA_BLOB_PART and HA_NULL_PART when appropriate.
KEYUSE elements for a possible hash join key are not sorted by field
numbers of the second table T of the hash join operation. Besides
some of these KEYUSE elements cannot be used to build any key as their
key expressions depend on the tables that are planned to be accessed
after the table T.
The code before the patch did not take this into account and, as a result,
execition of a query the employing block-based hash join algorithm could
cause a crash or return a wrong result set.
If has been decided that the first match strategy is to be used to join table T
from a semi-join nest while no buffer can be employed to join this table
then no join buffer can be used to join any table in the join sequence between
the first one belonging to the semi-join nest and table T.
Fixed feedback_plugin_send to not generate a random number of lines.
mysql-test/t/feedback_plugin_send.test:
Don't print more than 4 lines (sometimes there are 6 feedback lines in the log...)

2. dialog plugin now always returns mysql->password if non-empty and the first question is of password type
3. split get_tty_password into get_tty_password_buff and strdup.
4. dialog plugin now uses get_tty_password by default
5. dialog.test
6. moved small tests of individual plugins into a dedicated suite
After sending packet that is too large, clienrt can get either an error packet with
ER_NET_PACKET_TOO_LARGE, or a socket error. Both cases are valid, since the
server does not ensure reply was fully read by client, before shutting down and closing
the socket.
The tables from the same semi-join or outer join nest cannot use
join buffers if in the join sequence of the query execution plan
they are separated by a table that is planned to be joined without
usage of a join buffer.
The cause of the wrong result was that Item_ref_null_helper::get_date()
didn't use a method of the *_result() family, and fetched the data
for the field from the current row instead of result_field. Changed to
use the correct *_result() method, like to all other similar methods
of Item_ref_null_helper.
Analysis:
lp:894397 was a consequence of a prior incorrect fix of lp:833777
which didn't take into account that even when all tables are
constant there may be correlated conditions, and the where clause
is not equivalent to the constant conditions.
Solution:
When there are constant tables only, evaluate only the conditions
that reference outer fields, because the constant conditions are
already checked, and the where clause doesn't have other conditions
than constant ones, and outer referencing ones. The fix for
lp:894397 also fixes lp:833777.
The problem was that when we have single row subquery with no rows
Item_cache(es) which represent result row was not null and being
requested via element_index() returned random value.
The fix is setting all Item_cache(es) in NULL before executing the
query (reset() method) which guaranty NULL value of whole query
or its elements requested in any way if no rows was found.
set_null() method was added to Item_cache to guaranty correct NULL
value in case of reseting the cache.
- Make EXPLAIN display "Start temporary" at the start of the fanout (it used to display
at the first table whose rowid gets into temp. table which is not that useful for
the user)
- Updated test results (all checked)
