  • Revision #3217 Tue 2011-10-11 02:36:08 -0700
    • Fixed Bug #870046.
    • This bug is a consequence of the fix in the function add_ref_to_table_cond for Bug #826935 that turned out to be not quite correct: it tried to AND the same generated condition with two different other conditions.
    • This patch creates a copy of the generated condition if the condition needs to be ANDed with two different items.
  • Revision #3216 [merge] Mon 2011-10-10 23:34:32 +0300
    • Merge
    • Revision #3210.2.1 Wed 2011-10-05 18:18:00 +0300

    • make Item::send() request a date according to the current SQL mode limitations.
  • Revision #3213 [merge] Thu 2011-10-06 01:21:15 +0400
    • Merge fix for BUG#860580
    • Revision #3210.1.1 Thu 2011-10-06 01:11:08 +0400
      • Bug #860580: Sporadic crash / valgrind warning in register_field_in_read_map() with semijoin
      • The problem:
        • in an uncorrelated subquery, JOIN execution code may make irreversible cleanups after it has been executed (because the subquery won't be executed again). In particular, JTBM nests and their injected IN-equalities will be invalidated (the materialized table will be dropped and TABLE structure freed).
      • Solution:
        • don't walk into Item_subselect if represents an uncorrelated subselect that has already been executed. The idea is that the subselect will not be executed again (calling Item_subselect_xxx::val_int() will fetch the cached value), so it should not matter what is inside the subselect.

      • Revision #2732.46.1 [merge] Fri 2011-09-16 18:30:46 +0200
        • merge
  • Revision #3210 Tue 2011-10-04 23:57:46 +0300
    • Fix Bug #856152
    • Analysis:
      • The cause of the bug was that the method subselect_rowid_merge_engine::partial_match() was not designed for re-execution within the same query. Specifically, it didn't cleanup the bitmap of matching keys after completion.
      • The test query requires double execution of the IN predicate because it first checks the predicate as a constant condition. The second execution during regular execution used the bitmap of matching keys produced by the first execution instead of starting with a clean one.
    • Solution:
      • Cleanup the bitmap of matching keys at the end of the partial matching procedure.
  • Revision #3209 Tue 2011-10-04 12:00:55 -0700
    • Made the result test of a test case platform independent
    • (correction for the previous patch).
  • Revision #3208 Tue 2011-10-04 08:45:01 -0700
    • Made the result test of a test case platform independent.

    • Fixed a bad merge.
    • Changed a test case to make its result set platform independent.
  • Revision #3206 [merge] Mon 2011-10-03 15:50:42 -0700
    • Merge.
    • Revision #3190.2.2 Fri 2011-09-30 21:53:59 -0700
      • The previous correction of the cost estimate to access a joined table in the function best_access_path revealed another bug: currently table scans on NULL keys used for NOT IN subqueries cannot work together with employment of join caches for inner tables of these subqueries. Otherwise the result can be wrong as it could be seen with the result of the test case constructed for bug #37894 in the file subselect3_jcl6.result.
    • Revision #3190.2.1 Fri 2011-09-30 18:55:02 -0700
      • Fixed a cost estimation bug introduced into in the function best_access_path of the 5.3 code line after a merge with 5.2 on 2010-10-28 in order not to allow the cost to access a joined table to be equal to 0 ever.
      • Expanded data sets for many test cases to get the same execution plans as before.
  • Revision #3205 [merge] Tue 2011-10-04 02:24:04 +0400
    • Merge
    • Revision #3203.1.1 Tue 2011-10-04 02:20:06 +0400
      • Fix buildbot failure in previous fix (Bug #861147):
      • convert_subq_to_jtbm() should always restore the used arena.
  • Revision #3204 Mon 2011-10-03 22:48:15 +0300
    • Fix Bug #858038
    • Analysis:
      • The cause of the bug was the changed meaning of subselect_partial_match_engine::has_covering_null_row. Previously it meant that there is row with NULLs in all nullable fields of the materialized subquery table. Later it was changed to mean a row with NULLs in all fields of this table.
      • At the same time there was a shortcut in subselect_rowid_merge_engine::partial_match() that detected a special case where:
        • there is no match in any of the columns with NULLs, and
        • there is no NULL-only row that covers all columns with NULLs.
      • With the change in the meaning of has_covering_null_row, the condition that detected this special case was incomplete.
      • This resulted in an incorrect FALSE, when the result was a partial match.
    • Solution:
      • Expand the condition that detected the special case with the correct test for the existence of a row with NULL values in all columns that contain NULLs (a kind of parially covering NULL-row).
  • Revision #3203 [merge] Sat 2011-10-01 00:56:42 +0400
    • Merge
    • Revision #3199.1.3 Sat 2011-10-01 00:55:57 +0400
      • Bug #861147: Assertion `fixed == 1' failed in Item_func_eq::val_int() with semijoin + materialization
      • convert_subq_to_jtbm() didn't check that subuqery optimization was successful. If it wasn't (in this example because of @@max_join_size violation), it would proceed further and eventually crash when trying to execute the un-optimized subquery.
  • Revision #3202 [merge] Sat 2011-10-01 00:20:01 +0400
    • Merge
    • Revision #3199.1.2 Sat 2011-10-01 00:10:03 +0400
      • Bug #860553: Crash in create_ref_for_key with semijoin + materialization
        • The problem was that JOIN::save/restore_query_plan() did not save/restore parts of the query plan that are located inside SJ_MATERIALIZATION_INFO structures. This could cause parts of one plan to be used with another, which led get_best_combination() to constructing non-sensical join plans (and crash). Fixed by saving/restoring SJM parts of the query plans.
        • check_and_do_in_subquery_rewrites() will not set SUBS_MATERIALIZATION flag when it records that the subquery predicate is to be converted into semi-join. If convert_join_subqueries_to_semijoins() later decides not to convert to semi-join, let it set SUBS_MATERIALIZATION flag, if appropriate.

    • Merge
    • Revision #3199.1.1 Thu 2011-09-29 17:03:12 +0400
      • Bug #860535: Assertion `keypart_map' failed in mi_rkey with semijoin
        • are_tables_local() failed to recognize the fact that OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT is ok for SJ-Materialization. This caused zero-length ref access to be constructed, which led to an assert.
  • Revision #3200 Thu 2011-09-29 12:58:20 +0200
    • Fix test suite:
      • on Windows, kill <connection> can and almost always will return client error 2013 ("Lost connection...") on the killed connection,
      • On the server side, if connection is "sleeping" KILL will close the socket, thus socket error on client is expected.
  • Revision #3199 Wed 2011-09-28 17:20:43 +0300
    • Fix Bug #858148.
    • Analysis:
      • The crash is a result of the same cause as all similar bugs (Bug #827416, Bug #718763, Bug #778413, Bug #806943, Bug #611690). The general pattern is that some optimization requires the evaluation of some condition (e.g. the WHERE clause), and this condition contains a subquery, such that the subquery itself requires a temporary table for its execution. During the subquery execution the original tables in the FROM clause are replaced by the temporary table needed for the final GROUP or ORDER operation. All this happens during optimization of the outer query. Later when EXPLAIN is run for the subquery, explain attempts to print the name of the tables in the FROM clause, but it finds there a temporary table without a corresponding TABLE_LIST object. The attempt to print the name of a NULL table list results in a crash.
    • Solution:
      • This patch extends the fix to bug Bug #702301, and dissalows constant substitution of aggregate functions if the filter condition used to check MIN/MAX keys is an expensive condition.

        • Make get_post_group_estimate() take into account semi-join materialization nests.
  • Revision #3197 Tue 2011-09-27 17:40:04 +0300
    • Fixed test case that changed when max_user_connections was made signed. Threat ER_CONNECTION_KILLED same as ER_SERVER_SHUTDOWN in replication (to get rid of a possible warning in error log)

    • Automatic merge
    • Revision #3191.1.3 Mon 2011-09-26 20:26:47 +0300
      • Allow one to block an account by using GRANT max_user_connections = -1
      • One can set @@global.max_user_connections to -1 to block anyone, except SUPER user, to login.
      • If max_user_connection is 0, one can't change it without a restart (needed to get user connections counting to work correctly)
    • Revision #3191.1.2 Fri 2011-09-23 13:55:01 +0300
      • Fixed issue with slow query logging where examined rows where wrong
      • Reset 'examined_rows_count' in union to not count same rows twice
    • Revision #3191.1.1 Fri 2011-09-23 01:13:38 +0300
      • Added new options to KILL. New syntax is KILL [HARD|SOFT] [CONNECTION|QUERY] [ID | USER user_name]
        • If USER is given, all threads for that user is signaled
        • If SOFT is used then the KILL will not be sent to the handler. This can be used to not interrupt critical things in the handler like 'REPAIR'.
      • Internally added more kill signals. This gives us more information of why a query/connection was killed.
        • KILL_SERVER is used when server is going down. In this case the users gets ER_SHUTDOWN as the reason connection was killed.
        • Changed signals to number in correct order, which makes it easier to test how the signal should affect the code.
        • New error message ER_CONNECTION_KILLED if connection was killed by 'KILL CONNECTION'. Before we got error ER_SHUTDOWN.
      • Changed names of not used parameters KILL_QUERY & KILL_CONNCTION to mysql_kill() to not conflict with defines in the server

        • The problem was that Item_direct_view_ref and its embedded Item_field were getting incorrect value of item->used_tables() after fix_fields() in the second and subsequent EXECUTE.
        • Made relevant fixes in Item_field::fix_fields() and find_field_in_tables(), so that the Item_field gets the correct attributes.

      • LPBUG849717: Crash in Item_func::fix_fields on second execution of a prepared statement with semijoin
        • If convert_join_subqueries_to_semijoins() decides to wrap Item_in_subselect in Item_in_optimizer, it should do so in prep_on_expr/prep_where, too, as long as they are present.
        • There seems to be two possibilities of how we arrive in this function:
          • prep_on_expr/prep_where==NULL, and will be set later by simplify_joins()
          • prep_on_expr/prep_where!=NULL, and it is a copy_and_or_structure()-made copy of on_expr/where. the latter can happen for some (but not all!) nested joins. This bug was that we didn't handle this case.

      • Bug #730133: Wrong result with jkl = 7, BKA, ICP in maria-5.3 + compound index
      • Mrr_ordered_index_reader::interrupt_read() and resume_read() should save/restore not just index lookup tuple, but entire index tuple.
      • Key parts that are not used for index lookup can be still used in pushed index condition. Failure to save/restore will cause the index condition to be evaluated over the wrong values.

      • Bug #813418 fix.
      • The problem was that optimization code did not take into account later feature when instad of NOT before BETWEEN it has negated flag into the Item_func_between inherited from Item_func_neg_opt. So optimizer tried process NOT BETWEEN as BETWEEN.
      • The patch just switches off the optimisation for NOT BETWEEN as it was before when NOT function was really used.
