MySQL Bug #12408412: GROUP_CONCAT + ORDER BY + INPUT/OUTPUT SAME USER VARIABLE = CRASH
and
MySQL Bug#14664077 SEVERE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION IN SOME CASES WHEN USER VARIABLES ARE USED
sql/item_func.cc:
don't use anything from Item_func_set_user_var::fix_fields()
in Item_func_set_user_var::save_item_result()
sql/sql_class.cc:
Call suv->save_item_result(item) *before* doing suv->fix_fields(), because
the former evaluates the item (and caches its value), while the latter marks
the user variable as non-const. The problem is that the item was fix_field'ed
when the user variable was const, and it doesn't expect it to change to non-const
in the middle of the execution.

The function remove_eq_cond removes the parts of a disjunction
for which it has been proved that they are always true. In the
result of this removal the disjunction may be converted into a
formula without OR that must be merged into the the AND formula
that contains the disjunction.
The merging of two AND conditions must take into account the
multiple equalities that may be part of each of them.
These multiple equality must be merged and become part of the
and object built as the result of the merge of the AND conditions.
Erroneously the function remove_eq_cond lacked the code that
would merge multiple equalities of the merged AND conditions.
This could lead to confusing situations when at the same AND
level there were two multiple equalities with common members
and the list of equal items contained only some of these
multiple equalities.
This, in its turn, could lead to an incorrect work of the
function substitute_for_best_equal_field when it tried to optimize
ref accesses. This resulted in forming invalid TABLE_REF objects
that were used to build look-up keys when materialized subqueries
were exploited.
This bug in the legacy code could manifest itself in queries with
semi-join materialized subqueries.
When a subquery is materialized all conditions that are imposed
only on the columns belonging to the tables from the subquery
are taken into account.The code responsible for subquery optimizations
that employes subquery materialization makes sure to remove these
conditions from the WHERE conditions of the query obtained after
it has transformed the original query into a query with a semi-join.
If the condition to be removed is an equality condition it could
be added to ON expressions and/or conditions from disjunctive branches
(parts of OR conditions) in an attempt to generate better access keys
to the tables of the query. Such equalities are supposed to be removed
later from all the formulas where they have been added to.
However, erroneously, this was not done in some cases when an ON
expression and/or a disjunctive part of the OR condition could
be converted into one multiple equality. As a result some equality
predicates over columns belonging to the tables of the materialized
subquery remained in the ON condition and/or the a disjunctive
part of the OR condition, and the excuter later, when trying to
evaluate them, returned wrong answers as the values of the fields
from these equalities were not valid.
This happened because any standalone multiple equality (a multiple
equality that are not ANDed with any other predicates) lacked
the information about equality predicates inherited from upper
levels (in particular, inherited from the WHERE condition).
The fix adds a reference to such information to any standalone
multiple equality.
The wrong result set returned by the left join query from
the bug test case happened due to several inconsistencies
and bugs of the legacy mysql code.
The bug test case uses an execution plan that employs a scan
of a materialized IN subquery from the WHERE condition.
When materializing such an IN- subquery the optimizer injects
additional equalities into the WHERE clause. These equalities
express the constraints imposed by the subquery predicate.
The injected equality of the query in the test case happens
to belong to the same equality class, and a new equality
imposing a condition on the rows of the materialized subquery
is inferred from this class. Simultaneously the multiple
equality is added to the ON expression of the LEFT JOIN
used in the main query.
The inferred equality of the form f1=f2 is taken into account
when optimizing the scan of the rows the temporary table
that is the result of the subquery materialization: only the
values of the field f1 are read from the table into the record
buffer. Meanwhile the inferred equality is removed from the
WHERE conditions altogether as a constraint on the fields
of the temporary table that has been used when filling this table.
This equality is supposed to be removed from the ON expression
when the multiple equalities of the ON expression are converted
into an optimal set of equality predicates. It supposed to be
removed from the ON expression as an equality inferred from only
equalities of the WHERE condition. Yet, it did not happened
due to the following bug in the code.
Erroneously the code tried to build multiple equality for ON
expression twice: the first time, when it called optimize_cond()
for the WHERE condition, the second time, when it called
this function for the HAVING condition. When executing
optimize_con() for the WHERE condition a reference
to the multiple equality of the WHERE condition is set
in the multiple equality of the ON expression. This reference
would allow later to convert multiple equalities of the
ON expression into equality predicates. However the
the second call of build_equal_items() for the ON expression
that happened when optimize_cond() was called for the
HAVING condition reset this reference to NULL.
This bug fix blocks calling build_equal_items() for ON
expressions for the second time. In general, it will be
beneficial for many queries as it removes from ON
expressions any equalities that are to be checked for the
WHERE condition.
The patch also fixes two bugs in the list manipulation
operations and a bug in the function
substitute_for_best_equal_field() that resulted
in passing wrong reference to the multiple equalities
of where conditions when processing multiple
equalities of ON expressions.
The code of substitute_for_best_equal_field() and
the code the helper function eliminate_item_equal()
were also streamlined and cleaned up.
Now the conversion of the multiple equalities into
an optimal set of equality predicates first produces
the sequence of the all equalities processing multiple
equalities one by one, and, only after this, it inserts
the equalities at the beginning of the other conditions.
The multiple changes in the output of EXPLAIN
EXTENDED are mainly the result of this streamlining,
but in some cases is the result of the removal of
unneeded equalities from ON expressions. In
some test cases this removal were reflected in the
output of EXPLAIN resulted in disappearance of
“Using where” in some rows of the execution plans.
PLATFORM= MACOSX10.6 X86_64 MAX
Problem: The test was failing on pb2's mac machine because
it was not cleaned up properly. The test checks if
the command 'start slave until' throws a proper
error when issued with a wrong number/type of
parameters. After this,the replication stream was
stopped using the include file 'rpl_end.inc'.
The errors thrown earlier left the slave in an
inconsistent state to be closed by the include
file which was caught by the mac machine.
Fix: Started slave by invoking start_slave.inc to have a
working slave before calling rpl_reset.inc
Problem: The test file was not in a good shape. It tested
start slave until relay log file/pos combination
wrongly. A couple of commands were executed at
master and replicated at slave. Next, the
coordinates in terms of relay log file and pos
were noted down followed by reset slave and start
slave until saved relay log file/pos. Reset slave
deletes all relay log files and makes the slave
forget its replication position. So, using the
saved coordiantes after reset slave is wrong.
Fix: Split the test in two parts:
a) Test for start slave until master log file/pos and
checking for correct errors in the failure
scenarios.
b) Test for start slave until relay log file/pos.
Problem: The variables auto_increment_increment and
auto_increment_offset were set in the the include
file rpl_init.inc. This was only configured for
some connections that are rarely used by test
cases, so likely that it will cause confusion.
If replication tests want to setup these variables
they should do so explicitly.
Fix:
a) Removed code to set the variables
auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset
in the include file.
b) Updated tests files using the same.
post push fix:
rpl_stm_until.test was disabled because of
this bug. Enabled and fixed it.
Removed a part of the test that was obsolete.
It tested replication from 4.0 master to 5.0
slave.
Analysis:
Range analysis detects that the subquery is expensive and doesn't
build a range access method. Later, the applicability test for loose
scan doesn't take that into account, and builds a loose scan method
without a range scan on the min/max column. As a result loose scan
fetches the first key in each group, rather than the first key that
satisfies the condition on the min/max column.
Solution:
Since there is no SEL_ARG tree to be used for the min/max column,
it is not possible to use loose scan if the min/max column is compared
with an expensive scalar subquery. Make the test for loose scan
applicability to be in sync with the range analysis code by testing if
the min/max argument is compared with an expensive predicate.
Problem: Sys_vars suite is disabled in mysql-5.1 branch.
Fix: To enable sys_vars suite in mysql-5.1, add it in
mysql-test-run.pl file and also sys_vars suite should be
added to Makefile.am inorder to get that test directory
This bug happened because the executor tried to use a wrong
TABLE REF object when building access keys. It constructed
keys from fields of a materialized table from a ref object
created to construct keys from the fields of the underlying
base table. This could happen only when materialized table
was created for a non-correlated IN subquery and only
when the materialized table used for lookups.
In this case we are guaranteed to be able to construct the
keys from the fields of tables that would be outer tables
for the tables of the IN subquery.
The patch makes sure that no ref objects constructed from
fields of materialized lookup tables are to be used.
SUITE FOR 5.1
SYS_VARS suite is not enabled in MTR by default
run. Enabling it with this check-in.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/disabled.def:
Till the bugs are fixed, disabling the failed test scripts
Analys:
The cause for the wrong result was that the optimizer
incorrectly chose min/max loose scan when it is not
applicable. The applicability test missed the case when
a condition on the MIN/MAX argument was OR-ed with a
condition on some other field. In this case, the MIN/MAX
condition cannot be used for loose scan.
Solution:
Extend the test check_group_min_max_predicates() to check
that the WHERE clause is of the form: "cond1 AND cond2"
where
cond1 - does not use min_max_column at all.
cond2 - is an AND/OR tree with leaves in form "min_max_column $CMP$ const"
or $CMP$ is one of the functions between, is [not] null
Analysis:
Range analysis discoveres that the query can be executed via loose index scan for GROUP BY.
Later, GROUP BY analysis fails to confirm that the GROUP operation can be computed via an
index because there is no logic to handle duplicate field references in the GROUP clause.
As a result the optimizer produces an inconsistent plan. It constructs a temporary table,
but on the other hand the group fields are not set to point there.
Solution:
Make loose scan analysis work in sync with order by analysis. In the case of duplicate
columns loose scan will not be applicable. This limitation will be lifted in 10.0 by
removing duplicate columns.
innodb_bug12400341.test is disabled for valgrind daily test.
It might be affected by the previous test's undo slots existing,
because of slower execution.

Problem: In load data file query, User variables are allowed
inside "Into_list" and "Set_list". These user variables used
inside these two lists are not properly guarded with backticks
while server is writting into binlog. Hence user variable names
like a` cannot be used in this context.

This bug could result in returning 0 for the expressions of the form
<aggregate_function>(distinct field) when the system variable
max_heap_table_size was set to a small enough number.
It happened because the method Unique::walk() did not support
the case when more than one pass was needed to merge the trees
of distinct values saved in an external file.
Backported a fix in grant_lowercase.test from mariadb 5.5.
buf_page_get_gen(): Do not attempt to decompress a compressed-only
page when mode == BUF_PEEK_IF_IN_POOL. This mode is only being used by

hash index pointing to a page that does not exist in uncompressed
format in the buffer pool.

rb#1873 approved by Jimmy Yang
Early evaluation of subqueries in the WHERE conditions on I_S.*_STATUS tables,
otherwise the subquery on this same table will try to acquire LOCK_status twice.
The problem was that maybe_null of Item_row and its componetes was unsynced after update_used_tables() (and so pushed_cond_guards was not initialized but then requested).
Fix updates Item_row::maybe_null on update_used_tables().
Analysis
The reason for the less efficient plan was result of a prior design decision -
to limit the eveluation of constant expressions during optimization to only
non-expensive ones. With this approach all stored procedures were considered
expensive, and were not evaluated during optimization. As a result, SPs didn't
participate in range optimization, which resulted in a plan with table scan
rather than index range scan.
Solution
Instead of considering all SPs expensive, consider expensive only those SPs
that are non-deterministic. If an SP is deterministic, the optimizer will
checj if it is constant, and may eventually evaluate it during optimization.
Problem: When a view, with a specific character set and collation,
is created on another view with a different character set and collation the
dump restoration results in an illegal mix of collations error.
SOLUTION: To avoid this confusion of collations, the create table datatype
being used is hardcoded as "tinyint NOT NULL". This will not matter as the table
created will be dropped at runtime and specifically tinyint is used to
avoid hitting the row size conflicts.
