The problem was caused by this scenario: The query had both SELECT DISTINCT
and ORDER BY. DISTINCT was converted into GROUP BY. Then, vector index was
used to resolve the GROUP BY.
When join_read_first() initialized vector index scan, it used the ORDER BY
clause instead of GROUP BY, which caused a crash.
Fixed by making test_if_skip_sort_order() remember which ordering the scan
produces in JOIN_TAB::full_index_scan_order, and join_read_first() using that.
This commit updates default memory allocations size used with MEM_ROOT
objects to minimize the number of calls to malloc().
Changes:
- Updated MEM_ROOT block sizes in sql_const.h
- Updated MALLOC_OVERHEAD to also take into account the extra memory
allocated by my_malloc()
- Updated init_alloc_root() to only take MALLOC_OVERHEAD into account as
buffer size, not MALLOC_OVERHEAD + sizeof(USED_MEM).
- Reset mem_root->first_block_usage if and only if first block was used.
- Increase MEM_ROOT buffers sized used by my_load_defaults, plugin_init,
Create_tmp_table, allocate_table_share, TABLE and TABLE_SHARE.
This decreases number of malloc calls during queries.
- Use a small buffer for THD->main_mem_root in THD::THD. This avoids
multiple malloc() call for new connections.
I tried the above changes on a complex select query with 12 tables.
The following shows the number of extra allocations that where used
to increase the size of the MEM_ROOT buffers.
Original code:
- Connection to MariaDB: 9 allocations
- First query run: 146 allocations
- Second query run: 24 allocations
Max memory allocated for thd when using with heap table: 61,262,408
Max memory allocated for thd when using Aria tmp table: 419,464
After changes:
Connection to MariaDB: 0 allocations
- First run: 25 allocations
- Second run: 7 allocations
Max memory allocated for thd when using with heap table: 61,347,424
Max memory allocated for thd when using Aria table: 529,168
The new code uses slightly more memory, but avoids memory fragmentation
and is slightly faster thanks to much fewer calls to malloc().

Heap tables are allocated blocks to store rows according to
my_default_record_cache (mapped to the server global variable
read_buffer_size).
This causes performance issues when the record length is big
(> 1000 bytes) and the my_default_record_cache is small.
Changed to instead split the default heap allocation to 1/16 of the
allowed space and not use my_default_record_cache anymore when creating
the heap. The allocation is also aligned to be just under a power of 2.
For some test that I have been running, which was using record length=633,
the speed of the query doubled thanks to this change.
Other things:
- Fixed calculation of max_records passed to hp_create() to take
into account padding between records.
- Updated calculation of memory needed by heap tables. Before we
did not take into account internal structures needed to access rows.
- Changed block sized for memory_table from 1 to 16384 to get less
fragmentation. This also avoids a problem where we need 1K
to manage index and row storage which was not counted for before.
- Moved heap memory usage to a separate test for 32 bit.
- Allocate all data blocks in heap in powers of 2. Change reported
memory usage for heap to reflect this.

MDEV-32329 (patch) pushdown from having into where: Server crashes at sub_select
When generating an Item_equal with a Item_ref that refers to a field
outside of a subselect, remove_item_direct_ref() causes the dependency
(depended_from) on the outer select to be lost, which causes trouble
for code downstream that can no longer determine the scope of the Item.
Not calling remove_item_direct_ref() retains the Item's dependency.
Test cases from MDEV-32395 and MDEV-32329 are included.
Some fixes from other developers:
Monty:
- Fixed wrong code in Item_equal::create_pushable_equalities()
that could cause wrong item to be used if there was no matching items.
Daniel Black:
- Added test cases from MDEV-32329
Igor Babaev:
- Provided fix for removing call to remove_item_direct_ref() in
eliminate_item_equal()

The functions queue_compare, qsort2_cmp, and qsort_cmp2
all had similar interfaces, and were used interchangable

This patch consolidates the functions all into the

The syntax is

MDEV-33404 Engine-independent indexes: subtable method
added support for so-called "high level indexes", they are not visible
to the storage engine, implemented on the sql level. For every such
an index in a table, say, t1, the server implicitly creates a second
table named, like, t1#i#05 (where "05" is the index number in t1).
This table has a fixed structure, no frm, not accessible directly,
doesn't go into the table cache, needs no MDLs.

the information about index algorithm was stored in two

BTREE index could have key->algorithm == HA_KEY_ALG_BTREE, if the user

RTREE index had key->algorithm == HA_KEY_ALG_RTREE
and always had key->flags & HA_SPATIAL
FULLTEXT index had key->algorithm == HA_KEY_ALG_FULLTEXT
and always had key->flags & HA_FULLTEXT
HASH index had key->algorithm == HA_KEY_ALG_HASH or HA_KEY_ALG_UNDEF

In this commit:
All indexes except BTREE and HASH always have key->algorithm

MDEV-27277 added warnings on truncation during sorting for SELECTs
but did not for DML operations. However, UPDATEs and DELETEs may also
perform sorting and thus produce warnings. This commit fixes that
The code in best_access_path() uses PREV_BITS(uint, N) to
compute a bitmap of all keyparts: {keypart0, ... keypart{N-1}).
The problem is that PREV_BITS($type, N) macro code can't handle the case
when N=<number of bits in $type).
Also, why use PREV_BITS(uint, ...) for key part map computations when
we could have used PREV_BITS(key_part_map) ?
Fixed both:
- Change PREV_BITS(type, N) to handle any N in [0; n_bits(type)].
- Change PREV_BITS() to use key_part_map when computing key_part_map bitmaps.
Single-table UPDATE/DELETE didn't provide outer_lookup_keys value for
subqueries. This didn't allow to make a meaningful choice between
IN->EXISTS and Materialization strategies for subqueries.
Fix this:
* Make UPDATE/DELETE save Sql_cmd_dml::scanned_rows,
* Then, subquery's JOIN::choose_subquery_plan() can fetch it from
there for outer_lookup_keys
Details:
UPDATE/DELETE now calls select_lex->optimize_unflattened_subqueries()
twice, like SELECT does (first call optimize_constant_subquries() in
JOIN::optimize_inner(), then call optimize_unflattened_subqueries() in
JOIN::optimize_stage2()):
1. Call with const_only=true before any optimizations. This allows
range optimizer and others to use the values of cheap const
subqueries.
2. Call it with const_only=false after range optimizer, partition
pruning, etc. outer_lookup_keys value is provided, so it's possible to
pick a good subquery strategy.
Note: PROTECT_STATEMENT_MEMROOT requires that first SP execution
performs subquery optimization for all subqueries, even for degenerate
query plans like "Impossible WHERE". Due to that, we ensure that the
call to optimize_unflattened_subqueries (with const_only=false) even
for degenerate query plans still happens, as was the case before this
change.
When a derived table which has distinct values and BLOB fields is
materialized, an index is created over all columns to ensure only
unique values are placed to the result.
This index is created in a special mode HA_UNIQUE_HASH to support BLOBs.
Later the optimizer may incorrectly choose this index to retrieve values
from the derived table, although such type of index cannot be used
for data retrieval.
This commit excludes HA_UNIQUE_HASH indexes from adding to
`JOIN::keyuse` array thus preventing their subsequent usage for
data retrieval
During a query execution some sorting and grouping operations
on strings may be involved. System variable max_sort_length defines
the maximum number of bytes to use when comparing strings during
sorting/grouping. Thus, the comparable parts of strings may be less
than their actual size, so the results of the query may be not
sorted/grouped properly.
To indicate that some comparisons were done on a truncated lengths,
a new warning has been introduced with this commit.
Adding support for the ROW data type in the stored function RETURNS clause:
- explicit ROW(..members...) for both sql_mode=DEFAULT and sql_mode=ORACLE
CREATE FUNCTION f1() RETURNS ROW(a INT, b VARCHAR(32)) ...
- anchored "ROW TYPE OF [db1.]table1" declarations for sql_mode=DEFAULT
CREATE FUNCTION f1() RETURNS ROW TYPE OF test.t1 ...
- anchored "[db1.]table1%ROWTYPE" declarations for sql_mode=ORACLE
CREATE FUNCTION f1() RETURN test.t1%ROWTYPE ...
Adding support for anchored scalar data types in RETURNS clause:
- "TYPE OF [db1.]table1.column1" for sql_mode=DEFAULT
CREATE FUNCTION f1() RETURNS TYPE OF test.t1.column1;
- "[db1.]table1.column1" for sql_mode=ORACLE
CREATE FUNCTION f1() RETURN test.t1.column1%TYPE;
Details:
- Adding a new sql_mode_t parameter to
sp_head::create()
sp_head::sp_head()
sp_package::create()
sp_package::sp_package()
to guarantee early initialization of sp_head::m_sql_mode.
Before this change, this member was not initialized at all during
CREATE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE/PACKAGE statements, and was not used.
Now it needs to be initialized to write properly the
mysql.proc.returns column, according to the create time sql_mode.
- Code refactoring to make the things simpler and functions smaller:
* Adding a new method
Field_row::row_create_fields(THD *thd, List<Spvar_definition> *list)
to make a Virtual_tmp_table with Fields for ROW members
from an explicit definition.
* Adding a new method
Field_row::row_create_fields(THD *thd, const Spvar_definition &def)
to make a Virtual_tmp_table with Fields for ROW members
from an explicit or a table anchored definition.
* Adding a new method
Item_args::add_array_of_item_field(THD *thd, const Virtual_tmp_table &vtable)
to create and array of Item_field corresponding to all Field instances
in a Virtual_tmp_table
* Removing Item_field_row::row_create_items(). It was decomposed
into the new methods described above.
* Moving the code from the loop body in sp_rcontext::init_var_items()
into a separate method Spvar_definition::make_item_field_row(),
to make the code clearer (smaller functions).
make_item_field_row() itself uses the new methods described above.
- Changing the data type of sp_head::m_return_field_def
from Column_definition to Spvar_definition.
So now it supports not only SQL column field types,
but also explicit ROW and anchored ROW data types,
as well as anchored column types.
- Adding a new Column_definition parameter to sp_head::create_result_field().
Before this patch, create_result_field() took the definition only
from m_return_field_def. Now it's also called with a local Column_definition
variable which contains the explicit definition resolved from an
anchored defition.
- Modifying sql_yacc.yy to support the new grammar.
Adding new helper methods:
* sf_return_fill_definition_row()
* sf_return_fill_definition_rowtype_of()
* sf_return_fill_definition_type_of()
- Fixing tests in:
* Virtual_tmp_table::setup_field_pointers() in sql_select.cc
* Send_field::normalize() in field.h
* store_column_type()
to prevent calling Type_handler_row::field_type(),
which is implemented a DBUG_ASSERT(0).
Before this patch the affected methods and functions were called only
for scalar data types. Now ROW is also possible.
- Adding a new virtual method Field::cols()
- Overriding methods:
Item_func_sp::cols()
Item_func_sp::element_index()
Item_func_sp::check_cols()
Item_func_sp::bring_value()
to support the ROW data type.
- Extending the rule sp_return_type to support
* explicit ROW and anchored ROW data types
* anchored scalar data types
- Overriding Field_row::sql_type() to print
the data type of an explicit ROW.
Assertion failure has happened due to this scenario:
A query was ran with optimizer_join_limit_pref_ratio=1.
The query had "ORDER BY t1.col LIMIT N".
The optimizer set join->limit_shortcut_applicable=1.
Then, table t1 was marked as constant.
The code in choose_query_plan() still set join->limit_optimization_mode=1
which caused the optimizer to only consider t1 as the first non-const table.
But t1 was already put into the join prefix as the constant table.
The optimizer couldn't produce any join order at all and crashed.
Fixed by not searching for shortcut plan if ORDER BY table is a constant.
We will not try to do sorting anyway in this case (and LIMIT short-cutting
will be done for any join order).
(Variant 2: only allow rewrite for ref(const))
make_join_select() has a "ref_to_range" rewrite: it would rewrite
any ref access to a range access on the same index if the latter uses
more keyparts.
It seems, he initial intent of this was to fix poor query plan choice
in cases like
t.keypart1=const AND t.keypart2 < 'foo'
Due to deficiency in cost model, ref access could be picked while range
would enumerate fewer rows and be cheaper.
However, the condition also forces a rewrite in cases like:
t.keypart1=prev_table.col AND t.keypart1<='foo' AND t.keypart2<'bar'
Here, it can be that
* keypart1=prev_table.col is highly selective
* (keypart1, keypart2) <= ('foo', 'bar') is not at all selective.
Still, the rewrite would be made and poor query plan chosen.
Fixed this by only doing the rewrite if ref access was ref(const)
so we can be certain that quick select also used these restrictions
and will scan a subset of rows that ref access would scan.
Pre-11.0 variant:
1. In recompute_join_cost_with_limit(), add an assertion that that
partial_join_cost >= 0.0.
2. best_extension_by_limited_search() subtracts COST_EPS from
join->best_read. But it is not subtracted from
join->positions[0].read_time, add it back.
2. We could get very small negative partial_join_cost due to rounding
errors. For fraction=1.0, we were computing essentially this (denote
as EXPR-1):
$row_read_cost + $where_cost - ($row_read_cost + $where_cost)
which should compute to 0.
But the computation was done in the following order (left-to-right):
EXPR-2:
($row_read_cost + $where_cost) - $row_read_cost - $where_cost
this produced a value of -1.1102230246251565e-16 due to a rounding
error. Change the computation use EXPR-1 instead of EXPR-2.
optimize_straight_join and best_extension_by_limited_search()
use 0.001 to make choice between plans with identical cost deterministic.
Use COST_EPS instead of 0.001, like it's done in newer versions.
Variant for 11.2+:
In recompute_join_cost_with_limit(), do not subtract the cost of checking
the WHERE:
pos->records_read* WHERE_COST_THD(join->thd)
It is already included in pos->read_time.
Also added comments about difference between this fix and the pre-11.2
variant.
Stop skipping const items when selecting but skip them when storing
their results to spider row to avoid storing in mismatching temporary
table fields.
Skip auxiliary fields in SELECTing, and do not store
the (non-existing) results to the corresponding temporary table
accordingly.
When there are BOTH auxiliary fields AND const items in the auxiliary
field items, do not use the spider GBH. This is a rare occasion if it
happens at all and not worth the added complexity to cover it.
Use the original item (item_ptr) in constructing GROUP BY and ORDER
BY, which also means using item->name instead of field->field_name as
aliases in constructing SELECT items. This fixes spurious regressions
caused by the above changes in some tests using ORDER BY, such as
mdev_24517.test. As a by-product, this also fixes MDEV-29546.
Therefore we update mdev_29008.test to include the MDEV-29546 case.
