In the code that converts IN predicates to EXISTS predicates it is changing
the select list elements to constant 1. Example :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT c FROM ...)
is transformed to :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ... HAVING a = c)
However there can be no FROM clause in the IN subquery and it may not be
a simple select : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT f(..) AS
c UNION SELECT ...) This query is transformed to : SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT f(..) AS c UNION SELECT ...)
x HAVING a = c) In the above query c in the HAVING clause is made to be
an Item_null_helper (a subclass of Item_ref) pointing to the real
Item_field (which is not referenced anywhere else in the query anymore).
This is done because Item_ref_null_helper collects information whether
there are NULL values in the result. This is OK for directly executed
statements, because the Item_field pointed by the Item_null_helper is
already fixed when the transformation is done. But when executed as
a prepared statement all the Item instances are "un-fixed" before the
recompilation of the prepared statement. So when the Item_null_helper
gets fixed it discovers that the Item_field it points to is not fixed
and issues an error. The remedy is to keep the original select list
references when there are no tables in the FROM clause. So the above
becomes : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT c FROM (SELECT f(..)
AS c UNION SELECT ...) x HAVING a = c) In this way c is referenced
directly in the select list as well as by reference in the HAVING
clause. So it gets correctly fixed even with prepared statements. And
since the Item_null_helper subclass of Item_ref_null_helper is not used
anywhere else it's taken out.
too much memory. Instead, either create the equvalent SEL_TREE manually, or create only two ranges that
strictly include the area to scan
(Note: just to re-iterate: increasing NOT_IN_IGNORE_THRESHOLD will make optimization run slower for big
IN-lists, but the server will not run out of memory. O(N^2) memory use has been eliminated)
supported in SP but not in PS": just enable them in prepared
statements, the supporting functionality was implemented when
they were enabled in stored procedures.
trigger fails".
In cases when CONVERT_TZ() function was used in trigger or stored function
(or in stored procedure which was called from trigger or stored function)
error about non existing '.' table was reported.
Statements that use CONVERT_TZ() function should have time zone related
tables in their table list. tz_init_table_list() function which is used
to produce part of table list containing those tables didn't set
TABLE_LIST::db_length/table_name_length members properly. As result time
zone tables needed for CONVERT_TZ() function were incorrectly handled by
prelocking algorithm and "Table '.' doesn't exist' error was emitted.
This fix changes tz_init_table_list() in such way that it properly inits
TABLE_LIST::table_name_length/db_length members and thus produces table list
which can be handled by prelocking algorithm correctly.
The fix refines the algorithm of generating DROPs for binlog.
Temp tables with common pseudo_thread_id are clustered into one query.
Consequently one replication event per pseudo_thread_id is generated.
Backporting a changeset made for 5.0. Comments from there:
The fix refines the algorithm of generating DROPs for binlog.
Temp tables with common pseudo_thread_id are clustered into one query.
Consequently one replication event per pseudo_thread_id is generated.
Error was emitted when one tried to select information from view which used
merge algorithm and which also had CONVERT_TZ() function in its select list.
This bug was caused by wrong assumption that global table list for view
which is handled using merge algorithm begins from tables belonging to
the main select of this view. Nowadays the above assumption is not true only
when one uses convert_tz() function in view's select list, but in future
other cases may be added (for example we may support merging of views
with subqueries in select list one day). Relying on this false assumption
led to the usage of wrong table list for field lookups and therefor errors.
With this fix we explicitly use pointer to the beginning of main select's
table list.
