Detailed Description

A Key_field is a descriptor of a predicate of the form (column <op> val).

Currently 'op' is one of {'=', '<=>', 'IS [NOT] NULL', 'arg1 IN arg2'}, and 'val' can be either another column or an expression (including constants).

Key_field's are used to analyze columns that may potentially serve as parts of keys for index lookup. If 'field' is part of an index, then add_key_part() creates a corresponding Key_use object and inserts it into the JOIN::keyuse_array which is passed by update_ref_and_keys().

The structure is used only during analysis of the candidate columns for index 'ref' access.

The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:

sql/sql_optimizer_internal.h
