The set of Ordered keys of a rowid merge engine is dense. Thus when
we decide not to create a key for a column that has only NULLs, this
column shouldn't be counted.
Notice that the caller has already precomputed the correct total
number of keys that should be created.
The cause for this bug is that MariaDB 5.3 still processes derived tables
(subqueries in the FROM clause) by fully executing them during the parse
phase. This will be remedied by MWL#106 once merged into the main 5.3.
The assert statement is triggered when MATERIALIZATION is ON for EXPLAIN
EXTENDED for derived tables with an IN subquery as follows:
- mysql_parse calls JOIN::exec for the derived table as if it is regular
execution (not explain).
- When materialization is ON, this call goes all the way to
subselect_hash_sj_engine::exec, which creates a partial match engine
because of NULL presence.
- In order to proceed with normal execution, the hash_sj engine substitutes
itself with the created partial match engine.
- After the parse phase it turns out that this execution was part of
EXPLAIN EXTENDED, which in turn calls
Item_cond::print -> ... -> Item_subselect::print,
which calls engine->print().
Since subselect_hash_sj_engine::exec substituted the current
Item_subselect engine with a partial match engine, eventually we call
its ::print() method. However the partial match engines are designed only
for execution, hence there is no implementation of this print() method.
The fix temporarily removes the assert, until this code is merged with
MWL#106.
The bug was a result of missing logic to handle the case
when there are 'expensive' predicates that are not evaluated
during constant table optimization. Such is the case for
the IN predicate, which is considered expensive if it is
computed via materialization. In general this bug can be
triggered with any expensive predicate instead of IN.
When FALSE constant predicates are not evaluated during constant
optimization, the execution path changes so that instead of
setting JOIN::zero_result_cause after make_join_select, and
exiting JOIN::exec via the call to return_zero_rows(), execution
ends in JOIN::exec in the branch:
if (join->tables == join->const_tables)
{
...
else if (join->send_row_on_empty_set())
...
rc= join->result->send_data(*columns_list);
}
Unlike return_zero_rows(), this branch didn't evaluate the
having clause of the query.
The patch adds a call to evaluate the HAVING clause of a query even
when all tables are constant, because even for an empty result set
some aggregate functions may produce a NULL value.
When join buffers are employed no index scan for the first
table with grouping columns can be used.

Sorted results for some other test cases.
mysql-test/t/join_cache.test:
Added a test case for bug #664508.
Sorted results for some other test cases.
After the patch for bug 663840 had been applied the test case for
bug 663818 triggered the assert introduced by this patch.
It happened because the the patch turned out to be incomplete:
the space needed for a key entry must be taken into account
for the record written into the buffer, and, for the next record
as well, when figuring out whether the record being written is
the last for the buffer or not.
When adding a new record into the join buffer that is employed by
BNLH join algorithm the writing procedure JOIN_CACHE::write_record_data
checks whether there is enough space for the record in the buffer.
When doing this it must take into account a possible new key entry
added to the buffer. It might happen, as it has been demonstrated by
the bug test case, that there is enough remaining space in the buffer
for the record, but not for the additional key entry for this record.
In this case the key entry overwrites the end of the record that might
cause a crash or wrong results.
Fixed by taking into account a possible addition of new key entry when
estimating the remaining free space in the buffer.
Employed the same kind of optimization as in the fix for the cases
when join buffer is used.
The optimization performs early evaluation of the conditions from
on expression with table references to only outer tables of
an outer join.
The fix aligns join_null_complements() with join_matching_records()
making both call generate_full_extensions().
There should not be any difference between how the WHERE clause
is applied to NULL-complemented records from a partial join and how
it is applied to other partially joined records:the latter happens in
join_matching_records(), precisely in generate_full_extensions().
Added a possibility not to factor out the condition pushed to
the access index out of the condition pushed to a joined table.
This is useful for the condition pushed to the index when a hashed
join buffer for BKA is employed. In this case the index condition
may be false for some, but for all records with the same key.
So the condition must be checked not only after index lookup,
but after fetching row data as well, and it makes sense not to
factor out the condition from the condition checked after reading
row data,
The bug happened because the condition pushed to an index always
was factor out from the condition pushed to the accessed table.
Applied the fix for bug #47217 from the mysql-6.0 codebase.
The patch adds not null predicates generated for the left parts
of the equality predicates used for ref accesses. This is done
for such predicates both in where conditions and on conditions.
For the where conditions the not null predicates were generated
but in 5.0/5.1 they actually never were used due to some lame
merge from 4.1 to 5.0. The fix for bug #47217 made these
predicates to be used in the condition pushed to the tables.
Yet only this patch generates not null predicates for equality
predicated from on conditions of outer joins.
This patch introduces a performance regression that can be
observed on a test case from null_key.test. The regression
will disappear after the fix for bug #57024 from mariadb-5.1
is pulled into mariadb-5.3.
The patch contains many changes in the outputs of the EXPLAIN
commands since generated not null predicates are considered as
parts of the conditions pushed to join tables and may add
'Usingwhere' in some rows of EXPLAINs where there used
to be no such comments.
The condition over the outer tables now are extracted from
the on condition of any outer join. This condition is
saved in a special field of the JOIN_TAB structure for
the first inner table of the outer join. The condition
is checked before the first inner table is accessed. If
it turns out to be false the table is not accessed at all
and a null complemented row is generated immediately.
When an incremental join cache is used to join a table whose
fields are not referenced anywhere in the query the association
pointer to the last record in the such cache can be the same
as the pointer to the end of the buffer.
The function JOIN_CACHE_BKA::get_next_key must take into
consideration this when iterating over the keys of the records
from the join buffer.
The assertion in JOIN_TAB_SCAN_MRR::next also must take this
into consideration.
Borrowed a slightly changed test case from a patch attached to the
bug #52394.

Fixed crashing bug when doing ALTER TABLE RENAME with transactional tables.
The problem could be demonstrated with an outer join of two single-row
tables where the values of the join attributes were null. Any query
with such a join could return a wrong result set if the where
condition of the query was not empty. For queries with empty
where conditions the result sets were correct.
This was the consequence of two bugs in the code:
- Item_equal objects for on conditions of outer joins were
not built if the processed query had no where condition
- the check for null values in the code that evaluated constant
Item_equal objects was incorrect.
Fixed both above problems.
Added a test case for the bug and adjusted results for some other
test cases.
When not-exists optimization was applied to a table that
happened to be an inner table of two outer joins, one
embedded into another, then setting the match flag for
the embedding outer join on could be skipped. This caused
generation of extra null complemented rows.
Made sure that the match flags are set correctly in all cases
when not-exists optimization is used.
