Other fix of maybe_null problem and revert of revno: 3608 "MDEV-3873 & MDEV-3876 & MDEV-3912 : Wrong result (extra rows) with ALL subquery from a MERGE view."
includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
- temporary tables now works
- mysql-system_tables updated to not use temporary tables
- PASSWORD() function fixed
- Support for STATS_AUTO_RECALC, STATS_PERSISTENT and STATS_SAMPLE_PAGES table options
Merge of 10.0-mdev26 feature tree into 10.0-base.
Global transaction ID is prepended to each event group in the binlog.
Slave connect can request to start from GTID position instead of specifying
file name/offset of master binlog. This facilitates easy switch to a new
master.
Slave GTID state is stored in a table mysql.rpl_slave_state, which can be
InnoDB to get crash-safe slave state.
GTID includes a replication domain ID, allowing to keep track of distinct
positions for each of multiple masters.
Item_func_make_set wasn't taking into account the first argument when
calculating maybe_null.
sql/item_strfunc.cc:
rewrite Item_func_make_set, removing separate storage of the first argument
sql/item_strfunc.h:
rewrite Item_func_make_set, removing separate storage of the first argument
Implement binlog_gtid_pos() function. This will be used so that
the slave can obtain the gtid position automatically from first
connect with old-style position - then MASTER_GTID_POS=AUTO will
work the next time. Can also be used by mysqldump --master-data
to give the current gtid position directly.
from a MERGE view.
The problem was in the lost ability to be null for the table of a left join if it
is a view/derived table.
It hapenned because setup_table_map(), was called earlier then we merged
the view or derived.
Fixed by propagating new maybe_null flag during Item::update_used_tables().
Change in join_outer.test and join_outer_jcl6.test appeared because
IS NULL reported no used tables (i.e. constant) for argument which could not be
NULL and new maybe_null flag was propagated for IS NULL argument (Item_field)
because table the Item_field belonged to changed its maybe_null status.
make sure that find_date_time_item() is called before agg_arg_charsets_for_comparison().
optimize Item_func_conv_charset to avoid conversion if no string result is needed
The patch enables back constant subquery execution during
query optimization after it was disabled during the development
of MWL#89 (cost-based choice of IN-TO-EXISTS vs MATERIALIZATION).
The main idea is that constant subqueries are allowed to be executed
during optimization if their execution is not expensive.
The approach is as follows:
- Constant subqueries are recursively optimized in the beginning of
JOIN::optimize of the outer query. This is done by the new method
JOIN::optimize_constant_subqueries(). This is done so that the cost
of executing these queries can be estimated.
- Optimization of the outer query proceeds normally. During this phase
the optimizer may request execution of non-expensive constant subqueries.
Each place where the optimizer may potentially execute an expensive
expression is guarded with the predicate Item::is_expensive().
- The implementation of Item_subselect::is_expensive has been extended
to use the number of examined rows (estimated by the optimizer) as a
way to determine whether the subquery is expensive or not.
- The new system variable "expensive_subquery_limit" controls how many
examined rows are considered to be not expensive. The default is 100.
In addition, multiple changes were needed to make this solution work
in the light of the changes made by MWL#89. These changes were needed
to fix various crashes and wrong results, and legacy bugs discovered
during development.
