This includes all test changes from
"Changing all cost calculation to be given in milliseconds"
and forwards.
Some of the things that caused changes in the result files:
- As part of fixing tests, I added 'echo' to some comments to be able to
easier find out where things where wrong.
- MATERIALIZED has now a higher cost compared to X than before. Because
of this some MATERIALIZED types have changed to DEPENDEND SUBQUERY.
- Some test cases that required MATERIALIZED to repeat a bug was
changed by adding more rows to force MATERIALIZED to happen.
- 'Filtered' in SHOW EXPLAIN has in many case changed from 100.00 to
something smaller. This is because now filtered also takes into
account the smallest possible ref access and filters, even if they
where not used. Another reason for 'Filtered' being smaller is that
we now also take into account implicit filtering done for subqueries
using FIRSTMATCH.
(main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
This is caluculated in best_access_path() and stored in records_out.
- Table orders has changed because more accurate costs.
- 'index' and 'ALL' for small tables has changed to use 'range' or
'ref' because of optimizer_scan_setup_cost.
- index can be changed to 'range' as 'range' optimizer assumes we don't
have to read the blocks from disk that range optimizer has already read.
This can be confusing in the case where there is no obvious where clause
but instead there is a hidden 'key_column > NULL' added by the optimizer.
(main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
- Scan on primary clustered key does not report 'Using Index' anymore
(It's a table scan, not an index scan).
- For derived tables, the number of rows is now 100 instead of 2,
which can be seen in EXPLAIN.
- More tests have "Using index for group by" as the cost of this
optimization is now more correct (lower).
- A primary key could be preferred for a normal key, even if it would
access more rows, as it's faster to do 1 lokoup and 3 'index_next' on a
clustered primary key than one lookup trough a secondary.
(main.stat_tables_innodb)
Notes:
- There was a 4.7% more calls to best_extension_by_limited_search() in
the main.greedy_optimizer test. However examining the test results
it looked that the plans where slightly better (eq_ref where more
chained together) so I assume this is ok.
- I have verified a few test cases where there was notable/unexpected
changes in the plan and in all cases the new optimizer plans where
faster. (main.greedy_optimizer and some others)
The columns that are part of DEFAULT expression were not read-marked
in statements like UPDATE...SET b=DEFAULT.
The problem is `F(DEFAULT)` expression depends of the left-hand side of an
assignment. However, setup_fields accepts only right-hand side value.
Neither Item::fix_fields does.
Suchwise, b=DEFAULT(b) works fine, because Item_default_field has
information on what field it is default of:
if (thd->mark_used_columns != MARK_COLUMNS_NONE)
def_field->default_value->expr->update_used_tables();
in Item_default_value::fix_fields().
It is not reasonable to pass a left-hand side to Item:fix_fields, because
the case is rare, so the rewrite
b= F(DEFAULT) -> b= F(DEFAULT(b))
is made instead.
Both UPDATE and multi-UPDATE are affected, however any form of INSERT
is not: it marks all the fields in DEFAULT expressions for read in
TABLE::mark_default_fields_for_write().
Several different test cases were failing under the same reason: the
fields in a vcol expression were not marked during marking columns of a key
contatining virtual column for read.
Fix: make marking columns of a key for read a special case where
register_field_in_read_map() is done instead of plain bitmap_set_bit().
Some test cases are only reproducible in 10.4+, but the fix is applicable
to 10.2+
The failing reason was inconsistent truncation rules: the value of virtual
column could have been evaluated to '2000' sometimes instead of '0000' for
value 'a'.
The reason why `c YEAR AS ('aaaa')` was not evaluated same is that len=4 is
a special case insidew Field_year::store.
The correct fix is: always evaluate a bad value to 0000 instead 2000.
The truncated values should be evaluated as usual.
$support_virtual_index is finally changed to 1 in gcol.gcol_ins_upd_innodb,
which is also enough for testing.
The test from original bug report is also added.
