Before this patch mergeable derived tables / view used in a multi-table update / delete were merged before the preparation stage. When the merge of a derived table / view is performed the on expression attached to it is fixed and ANDed with the where condition of the select S containing this derived table / view. It happens after the specification of the derived table / view has been merged into S. If the ON expression refers to a non existing field an error is reported and some other mergeable derived tables / views remain unmerged. It's not a problem if the multi-table update / delete statement is standalone. Yet if it is used in a stored procedure the select with incompletely merged derived tables / views may cause a problem for the second call of the procedure. This does not happen for select queries using derived tables / views, because in this case their specifications are merged after the preparation stage at which all ON expressions are fixed. This patch makes sure that merging of the derived tables / views used in a multi-table update / delete statement is performed after the preparation stage.

MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-features/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
