This allows one to run the test suite even if any of the following
options are changed:
- character-set-server
- collation-server
- join-cache-level
- log-basename
- max-allowed-packet
- optimizer-switch
- query-cache-size and query-cache-type
- skip-name-resolve
- table-definition-cache
- table-open-cache
- Some innodb options
etc
Changes:
- Don't print out the value of system variables as one can't depend on
them to being constants.
- Don't set global variables to 'default' as the default may not
be the same as the test was started with if there was an additional
option file. Instead save original value and reset it at end of test.
- Test that depends on the latin1 character set should include
default_charset.inc or set the character set to latin1
- Test that depends on the original optimizer switch, should include
default_optimizer_switch.inc
- Test that depends on the value of a specific system variable should
set it in the test (like optimizer_use_condition_selectivity)
- Split subselect3.test into subselect3.test and subselect3.inc to
make it easier to set and reset system variables.
- Added .opt files for test that required specfic options that could
be changed by external configuration files.
- Fixed result files in rockdsb & tokudb that had not been updated for
a while.
The parser returned a syntax error message for the queries with join
expressions like this t1 JOIN t2 [LEFT | RIGHT] JOIN t3 ON ... ON ... when
the second operand of the outer JOIN operation with ON clause was another
join expression with ON clause. In this expression the JOIN operator is
right-associative, i.e. expression has to be parsed as the expression
t1 JOIN (t2 [LEFT | RIGHT] JOIN t3 ON ... ) ON ...
Such join expressions are hard to parse because the outer JOIN is
left-associative if there is no ON clause for the first outer JOIN operator.
The patch implements the solution when the JOIN operator is always parsed
as right-associative and builds first the right-associative tree. If it
happens that there is no corresponding ON clause for this operator the
tree is converted to left-associative.
The idea of the solution was taken from the patch by Martin Hansson
"WL#8083: Fixed the join_table rule" from MySQL-8.0 code line.
As the grammar rules related to join expressions in MySQL-8.0 and
MariaDB-5.5+ are quite different MariaDB solution could not borrow
any code from the MySQL-8.0 solution.
In some cases, when using views the optimizer incorrectly determined
possible join orders for queries with nested outer and inner joins.
This could lead to invalid execution plans for such queries.
in opt_range.h
In this bug, there are two alternative access plans:
* Index merge range access
* Const ref access
best_access_path() decided that the ref access was preferrable,
but make_join_select() still decided to point
SQL_SELECT::quick to the index merge because the table had
type==JT_CONST which was not handled.
At the same time the table's ref.key still referred to the
index the ref access would use indicating that ref access
should be used. In this state, different parts of the
optimizer code have different perceptions of which access path
is in use (ref or range).
test_if_skip_sort_order() was called to check if the ref access
needed ordering, but test_if_skip_sort_order() got confused and
requested the index merge to return records in sorted order.
Index merge cannot do this, and fired an ASSERT.
The fix is to take join_tab->type==JT_CONST into concideration
when make_join_select() decides whether or not to use the
range access method.
