UNION ALL queries are a subject of optimization introduced in MDEV-334
when creation of a temporary table is skipped.
While there is a check for this optimization in Explain_union::print_explain()
there was no such in Explain_union::print_explain_json(). This resulted in
printing irrelevant data like:
"union_result": {
"table_name": "<union2,3>",
"access_type": "ALL",
"r_loops": 0,
"r_rows": null
in case when creation of the temporary table was actually optimized out.
This commits adds a check whether the temporary table was actually created
during the UNION ALL processing and eliminates printing of the irrelevant data.
This bug caused crashes of the server when processing queries with table
value constructors (TVC) that contained subqueries and were used itself as
subselects. For such TVCs the following transformation is applied at the
prepare stage:
VALUES (v1), ... (vn) => SELECT * FROM (VALUES (v1), ... (vn)) tvc_x.
This transformation allows to reduce the problem of evaluation of TVCs used
as subselects to the problem of evaluation of regular subselects.
The transformation is implemented in the wrap_tvc(). The code the function
to mimic the behaviour of the parser when processing the result of the
transformation. However this imitation was not free of some flaws. First
the function called the method exclude() that completely destroyed the
select tree structures below the transformed TVC. Second the function
used the procedure mysql_new_select to create st_select_lex nodes for
both wrapping select of the transformation and TVC. This also led to
constructing of invalid select tree structures.
The patch actually re-engineers the code of wrap_tvc().

Sj_materialization_picker::check_qep(): fix error in cost/fanout
calculations:
- for each join prefix, add #prefix_rows / TIME_FOR_COMPARE to the cost,
like best_extension_by_limited_search does
- Remove the fanout produced by the subquery tables.
- Also take into account join condition selectivity
optimize_wo_join_buffering() (used by LooseScan and FirstMatch)
- also add #prefix_rows / TIME_FOR_COMPARE to the cost of each prefix.
- Also take into account join condition selectivity
query with VALUES()
A table value constructor can be used in all contexts where a select
can be used. In particular an ORDER BY clause or a LIMIT clause or both
of them can be attached to a table value constructor to produce a new
query. Unfortunately execution of such queries was not supported.
This patch fixes the problem.
Merging the following features from sql_yacc.yy to sql_yacc_ora.yy:
- system versioning
- column compression
- table value constructor
- spatial predicate WITHIN
- DELETE_DOMAIN_ID
