This bug manifested itself for INSERT...SELECT and DELETE statements whose
WHERE condition used an IN/ANY/ALL predicand or a EXISTS predicate with
such grouping subquery that:
- its GROUP BY clause could be eliminated,
- the GROUP clause contained a subquery over a mergeable derived table
referencing the updated table.
The bug ultimately caused a server crash when the prepare phase of the
statement processing was executed. This happened after removal redundant
subqueries used in the eliminated GROUP BY clause from the statement tree.
The function that excluded the subqueries from the did not do it properly.
As a result the specification of any derived table contained in a removed
subquery was not marked as excluded.

Elimination of unnecessary tables from SQL queries is already present
in MariaDB. But it only works for regular tables and not for derived ones.
Imagine we have a view:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT a, b, max(c) AS maxc FROM t1 GROUP BY a, b
Due to "GROUP BY a, b" the values of combinations {a, b} are unique,
and this fact can be treated as like derived table "v1" has a unique key
on fields {a, b}.
Suppose we have a SQL query:
SELECT t2.* FROM t2 LEFT JOIN v1 ON t2.a=v1.a and t2.b=v1.b
1. Since {v1.a, v1.b} is unique and both these fields are bound to t2,
"v1" is functionally dependent on t2.
This means every record of "t2" will be either joined with
a single record of "v1" or NULL-complemented.
2. No fields of "v1" are present on the SELECT list
These two facts allow the server to completely exclude (eliminate)
the derived table "v1" from the query.
Running some statements that use IN subqueries outside context of a regular
query could result in server abnormal termination.
The reason for failure is that internal structures SELECT_LEX/SELECT_LEX_UNIT
created on behalf of parsed query were initialized incorrectly. Incorrect
initialization of the structures SELECT_LEX/SELECT_LEX_UNIT was introduced
by the commit de745ecf29
(MDEV-11953: support of brackets in UNION/EXCEPT/INTERSECT operations)
pushed into 10.4, that is the reason this bug report is not reproduced in 10.3.
To fix the issue the method SLECTE_LEX::register_unit is used for proper
initialization of the data structures SELECT_LEX/SELECT_LEX_UNIT. Additionally,
the method SELECT_LEX::get_slave() was removed from the source code base
since for those use cases where it is used it can be replaced by the method
first_inner_unit().
Splitting Lex_exact_charset_extended_collation_attrs_st into small components.
- Adding classes:
* Lex_exact_charset
* Lex_context_collation
* Lex_exact_collation
* Lex_extended_collation_st
* Lex_extended_collation
and moving pieces of the code from methods
* merge_charset_clause_and_collate_clause()
* merge_collate_clause_and_collate_clause()
into smaller methods in the new classes.
It's easier to read, handle and reuse the code this way.
- Moving static methods find_default_collation() and find_binary_collation()
from Lex_exact_charset_extended_collation_attrs_st to non-static methods in
Lex_exact_charset_opt_extended_collate, as now it's a better place for them.
- Using Lex_extended_collation_st in sql_yacc.yy to handle COLLATE clauses,
to handle both context and extended collations
(instead of the previous notation with NULL CHARSET_INFO pointer
meaning DEFAULT, and not-NULL meaning an exact collation).
This change will also help to add more context (UCA1400) collations soon.
The old notation with CHARSET_INFO won't be enough.
- Adding LEX::set_names() and reusing it in two places in sql_yacc.yy
- Removing the opt_collate_or_default rule. It's was used only
to handle the CONVERT TO related grammar. Had to add some code duplication,
but it will be gone in one of the next commits.
This change will also soon help to add
Lex_extended_charset_extended_collation_attrs_st -
a new class to handle table and database level CHARACTER SET and COLLATE
clauses easier.
:: Syntax change ::
Keyword AUTO enables history partition auto-creation.
Examples:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 MONTH
STARTS '2021-01-01 00:00:00' AUTO PARTITIONS 12;
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME LIMIT 1000 AUTO;
Or with explicit partitions:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO
(PARTITION p0 HISTORY, PARTITION pn CURRENT);
To disable or enable auto-creation one can use ALTER TABLE by adding
or removing AUTO from partitioning specification:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
# Disables auto-creation:
ALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR;
# Enables auto-creation:
ALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
If the rest of partitioning specification is identical to CREATE TABLE
no repartitioning will be done (for details see MDEV-27328).
:: Description ::
Before executing history-generating DML command (see the list of commands below)
add N history partitions, so that N would be sufficient for potentially
generated history. N > 1 may be required when history partitions are switched
by INTERVAL and current_timestamp is N times further than the interval
boundary of the last history partition.
If the last history partition equals or exceeds LIMIT records then new history
partition is created and selected as the working partition. According to
MDEV-28411 partitions cannot be switched (or created) while the command is
running. Thus LIMIT does not carry strict limitation and the history partition
size must be planned as LIMIT value plus average number of history one DML
command can generate.
Auto-creation is implemented by synchronous fast_alter_partition_table() call
from the thread of the executed DML command before the command itself is run
(by the fallback and retry mechanism similar to Discovery feature,
see Open_table_context).
The name for newly added partitions are generated like default partition names
with extension of MDEV-22155 (which avoids name clashes by extending assignment
counter to next free-enough gap).
These DML commands can trigger auto-creation:
DELETE (including multitable DELETE, excluding DELETE HISTORY)
UPDATE (including multitable UPDATE)
REPLACE (including REPLACE .. SELECT)
INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE (including INSERT .. SELECT .. ODKU)
LOAD DATA .. REPLACE
:: Bug fixes ::
MDEV-23642 Locking timeout caused by auto-creation affects original DML
The reasons for this are:
- Do not disrupt main business process (the history is auxiliary service);
- Consequences are non-fatal (history is not lost, but comes into wrong
partition; fixed by partitioning rebuild);
- There is more freedom for application to fail in this case or not: it may
read warning info and find corresponding error number.
- While non-failing command is easy to handle by an application and fail it,
the opposite is hard to handle: there is no automatic actions to fix
failed command and retry, DBA intervention is required and until then
application is non-functioning.
MDEV-23639 Auto-create does not work under LOCK TABLES or inside triggers
Don't do tdc_remove_table() for OT_ADD_HISTORY_PARTITION because it is
not possible in locked tables mode.
LTM_LOCK_TABLES mode (and LTM_PRELOCKED_UNDER_LOCK_TABLES) works out
of the box as fast_alter_partition_table() can reopen tables via
locked_tables_list.
In LTM_PRELOCKED we reopen and relock table manually.
:: More fixes ::
* some_table_marked_for_reopen flag fix
some_table_marked_for_reopen affets only reopen of
m_locked_tables. I.e. Locked_tables_list::reopen_tables() reopens only
tables from m_locked_tables.
* Unused can_recover_from_failed_open() condition
Is recover_from_failed_open() can be really used after
open_and_process_routine()?

In SELECT_LEX::update_used_tables(),
do not run the loop setting tl->table->maybe_null
when tl is an eliminated table
(Rationale: First, with current table elimination, tl already
has maybe_null=1. Second, one should not care what flags
eliminated tables had)
(This is the assert that was added in fix for MDEV-26047)
Table elimination may remove an ON expression from an outer join.
However SELECT_LEX::update_used_tables() will still call
item->walk(&Item::eval_not_null_tables)
for eliminated expressions. If the subquery is constant and cheap
Item_cond_and will attempt to evaluate it, which will trigger an
assert.
The fix is not to call update_used_tables() or eval_not_null_tables()
for ON expressions that were eliminated.
- Describe the lifetime of EXPLAIN data structures in
sql_explain.h:ExplainDataStructureLifetime.
- Make Item_field::set_field() call set_refers_to_temp_table()
when it refers to a temp. table.
- Introduce QT_DONT_ACCESS_TMP_TABLES flag for Item::print.
It directs Item_field::print to not try access its the
temp table.
- Introduce Explain_query::notify_tables_are_closed()
and call it right before the query closes its tables.
- Make Explain data stuctures' print_explain_json() methods
accept "no_tmp_tbl" parameter which means pass
QT_DONT_ACCESS_TMP_TABLES when printing items.
- Make Show_explain_request::call_in_target_thread() not call
set_current_thd(). This wasn't needed as the code inside
lex->print_explain() uses output->thd anyway. output->thd
refers to the SHOW command's THD object.
1. Add explicit indication that the output is produced by
SHOW EXPLAIN/ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON command.
2. Remove useless "r_total_time_ms" field from SHOW ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
output when there is no timed statistics gathered.
3. Add "r_query_time_in_progress_ms" to the output of SHOW ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON.
EXPLAIN FOR CONNECTION is a MySQL-compatible syntax for SHOW EXPLAIN.
This commit also adds support for FORMAT=JSON to SHOW EXPLAIN,
so the possible options to get JSON-formatted output are:
- SHOW EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON FOR $con
- EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON FOR CONNECTION $con
IF an INSERT/REPLACE SELECT statement contained an ON expression in the top
level select and this expression used a subquery with a column reference
that could not be resolved then an attempt to resolve this reference as
an outer reference caused a crash of the server. This happened because the
outer context field in the Name_resolution_context structure was not set
to NULL for such references. Rather it pointed to the first element in
the select_stack.
Note that starting from 10.4 we cannot use the SELECT_LEX::outer_select()
method when parsing a SELECT construct.

because CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_VCOL_EXPR can be used only for,
exactly, context analysys. Items fixed that way cannot be evaluated.
But vcols are going to be evaluated, so they have to be fixed properly,
for evaluation.
Fixing a typo in the fix for MDEV-19804, wrong return value in a bool function:
< return NULL;
> return true;
The problem was found because it did not compile on some platforms.
Strangley, it did not have visible problems on other platforms,
which did not fail to compile, although "return NULL" should compile to
"return false" rather than "return true".
