◆ attach_join_condition_to_nest()

bool JOIN::attach_join_condition_to_nest ( plan_idx  first_inner,
plan_idx  last_tab,
Item join_cond,
bool  is_sj_mat_cond 
)
private

Helper for JOIN::attach_join_conditions().

Attaches bits of 'join_cond' to each table in the range [first_inner, last_tab], with proper guards. If 'sj_mat_cond' is true, we do not see first_inner (and tables on the same level of it) as inner to anything, as they're at the top from the POV of the materialization of the tmp table. So, if the SJ-mat nest is A LJ B, A will get a part of condition without any guard; B will get another part with a guard on A->found_match. It's like pushing a WHERE.

◆ attach_join_conditions()

bool JOIN::attach_join_conditions ( plan_idx  last_tab)

Attach outer join conditions to generated table conditions in an optimal way.

Parameters
last_tab- Last table that has been added to the current plan. Pre-condition: If this is the last inner table of an outer join operation, a join condition is attached to the first inner table of that outer join operation.
Returns
false if success, true if error.

Outer join conditions are attached to individual tables, but we can analyze those conditions only when reaching the last inner table of an outer join operation. Notice also that a table can be last within several outer join nests, hence the outer for() loop of this function.

Example: SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (t2 LEFT JOIN t3 ON t2.a=t3.a) ON t1.a=t2.a

Table t3 is last both in the join nest (t2 - t3) and in (t1 - (t2 - t3)) Thus, join conditions for both join nests will be evaluated when reaching this table.

For each outer join operation processed, the join condition is split optimally over the inner tables of the outer join. The split-out conditions are later referred to as table conditions (but note that several table conditions stemming from different join operations may be combined into a composite table condition).

Example: Consider the above query once more. The predicate t1.a=t2.a can be evaluated when rows from t1 and t2 are ready, ie at table t2. The predicate t2.a=t3.a can be evaluated at table t3.

Each non-constant split-out table condition is guarded by a match variable that enables it only when a matching row is found for all the embedded outer join operations.

Each split-out table condition is guarded by a variable that turns the condition off just before a null-complemented row for the outer join operation is formed. Thus, the join condition will not be checked for the null-complemented row.

◆ clear_hash_tables()

void JOIN::clear_hash_tables ( )
inline

◆ compare_costs_of_subquery_strategies()

bool JOIN::compare_costs_of_subquery_strategies ( Subquery_strategy method)
private

Tells what is the cheapest between IN->EXISTS and subquery materialization, in terms of cost, for the subquery's JOIN.

Input:

  • join->{best_positions,best_read,best_rowcount} must contain the execution plan of EXISTS (where 'join' is the subquery's JOIN)
  • join2->{best_positions,best_read,best_rowcount} must be correctly set (where 'join2' is the parent join, the grandparent join, etc). Output: join->{best_positions,best_read,best_rowcount} contain the cheapest execution plan (where 'join' is the subquery's JOIN).

This plan choice has to happen before calling functions which set up execution structures, like JOIN::get_best_combination().

Parameters
[out]methodchosen method (EXISTS or materialization) will be put here.
Returns
false if success

◆ contains_non_aggregated_fts()

bool JOIN::contains_non_aggregated_fts ( ) const

Returns true if any of the items in JOIN::fields contains a call to the full-text search function MATCH, which is not wrapped in an aggregation function.

◆ copy_ref_item_slice() [1/2]

void JOIN::copy_ref_item_slice ( Ref_item_array  dst_arr,
Ref_item_array  src_arr 
)
inline

◆ copy_ref_item_slice() [2/2]

void JOIN::copy_ref_item_slice ( uint  dst_slice,
uint  src_slice 
)
inline

Overwrites one slice of ref_items with the contents of another slice.

In the normal case, dst and src have the same size(). However: the rollup slices may have smaller size than slice_sz.

◆ cost_model()

const Cost_model_server * JOIN::cost_model ( ) const

Retrieve the cost model object to be used for this join.

Returns
Cost model object for the join

◆ decide_subquery_strategy()

bool JOIN::decide_subquery_strategy ( )

Decides between EXISTS and materialization; performs last steps to set up the chosen strategy.

Returns
'false' if no error
Note
If UNION this is called on each contained JOIN.

◆ finalize_derived_keys()

void JOIN::finalize_derived_keys ( )

For each materialized derived table/view, informs every TABLE of the key it will (not) use, segregates used keys from unused keys in TABLE::key_info, and eliminates unused keys.

◆ finalize_table_conditions()

bool JOIN::finalize_table_conditions ( THD thd)

Remove redundant predicates and cache constant expressions.

Do a final round on pushed down table conditions and HAVING clause. Optimize them for faster execution by removing predicates being obsolete due to the access path selected for the table. Constant expressions are also cached to avoid evaluating them for each row being compared.

Parameters
thdthread handler
Returns
false if success, true if error
Note
This function is run after conditions have been pushed down to individual tables, so transformation is applied to JOIN_TAB::condition and not to the WHERE condition.

◆ fts_index_access()

bool JOIN::fts_index_access ( JOIN_TAB tab)

Check if FTS index only access is possible.

Parameters
tabpointer to JOIN_TAB structure.
Returns
true if index only access is possible, false otherwise.

◆ generate_derived_keys()

bool JOIN::generate_derived_keys ( )

Add keys to derived tables'/views' result tables in a list.

This function generates keys for all derived tables/views of the query_block to which this join corresponds to with help of the Table_ref:generate_keys function.

Returns
false all keys were successfully added.
true OOM error

◆ get_current_fields()

mem_root_deque< Item * > * JOIN::get_current_fields ( )

Returns the clone of fields_list which is appropriate for evaluating expressions at the current stage of execution; which stage is denoted by the value of current_ref_item_slice.

◆ make_outerjoin_info()

void JOIN::make_outerjoin_info ( )
private

Fill in outer join related info for the execution plan structure.

For each outer join operation left after simplification of the original query the function set up the following pointers in the linear structure join->join_tab representing the selected execution plan. The first inner table t0 for the operation is set to refer to the last inner table tk through the field t0->last_inner. Any inner table ti for the operation are set to refer to the first inner table ti->first_inner. The first inner table t0 for the operation is set to refer to the first inner table of the embedding outer join operation, if there is any, through the field t0->first_upper. The on expression for the outer join operation is attached to the corresponding first inner table through the field t0->on_expr_ref. Here ti are structures of the JOIN_TAB type.

EXAMPLE. For the query:

(t2, t3 LEFT JOIN t4 ON t3.a=t4.a)
ON (t1.a=t2.a AND t1.b=t3.b)

given the execution plan with the table order t1,t2,t3,t4 is selected, the following references will be set; t4->last_inner=[t4], t4->first_inner=[t4], t4->first_upper=[t2] t2->last_inner=[t4], t2->first_inner=t3->first_inner=[t2], on expression (t1.a=t2.a AND t1.b=t3.b) will be attached to t2->on_expr_ref, while t3.a=t4.a will be attached to *t4->on_expr_ref.

Note
The function assumes that the simplification procedure has been already applied to the join query (see simplify_joins). This function can be called only after the execution plan has been chosen.

◆ all_table_map

table_map JOIN::all_table_map {0}

Set of tables contained in query.

◆ allow_outer_refs

bool JOIN::allow_outer_refs {false}

True if plan search is allowed to use references to expressions outer to this JOIN (for example may set up a 'ref' access looking up an outer expression in the index, etc).

◆ best_positions

Note
This is a scratch array, not used after get_best_combination().

◆ best_read

double JOIN::best_read {0.0}

The cost of best complete join plan found so far during optimization, after optimization phase - cost of picked join order (not taking into account the changes made by test_if_skip_sort_order().

Exception: Single table query cost is updated after access change in test_if_skip_sort_order()).

◆ best_ref

JOIN_TAB** JOIN::best_ref {nullptr}

Array of plan operators representing the current (partial) best plan.

The array is allocated in JOIN::make_join_plan() and is valid only inside this function. Initially (*best_ref[i]) == join_tab[i]. The optimizer reorders best_ref.

ha_rows JOIN::best_rowcount {0}

The estimated row count of the plan with best read time (see above).

◆ calc_found_rows

bool JOIN::calc_found_rows {false}

If true, calculate found rows for this query block.

◆ child_subquery_can_materialize

bool JOIN::child_subquery_can_materialize {false}

True if, at this stage of processing, subquery materialization is allowed for children subqueries of this JOIN (those in the SELECT list, in WHERE, etc).

If false, and we have to evaluate a subquery at this stage, then we must choose EXISTS.

◆ cond_equal

COND_EQUAL* JOIN::cond_equal {nullptr}

◆ const_table_map

table_map JOIN::const_table_map

Set of tables found to be const.

◆ const_tables

uint JOIN::const_tables {0}

◆ current_ref_item_slice

uint JOIN::current_ref_item_slice

The slice currently stored in ref_items[0].

Used to restore the base ref_items slice from the "save" slice after it has been overwritten by another slice (1-3).

◆ deps_of_remaining_lateral_derived_tables

table_map JOIN::deps_of_remaining_lateral_derived_tables {0}

This is the bitmap of all tables which are dependencies of lateral derived tables which are not (yet) part of the partial plan.

(The value is a logical 'or' of zero or more Table_ref.map() values.)

When we are building the join order, there is a partial plan (an ordered sequence of JOIN_TABs), and an unordered set of JOIN_TABs not yet added to the plan. Due to backtracking, the partial plan may both grow and shrink. When we add a new table to the plan, we may wish to set up join buffering, so that rows from the preceding table are buffered. If any of the remaining tables are derived tables that depends on any of the predecessors of the table we are adding (i.e. a lateral dependency), join buffering would be inefficient. (

See also
setup_join_buffering() for a detailed explanation of why this is so.)

For this reason we need to maintain this table_map of lateral dependencies of tables not yet in the plan. Whenever we add a new table to the plan, we update the map by calling Optimize_table_order::recalculate_lateral_deps_incrementally(). And when we remove a table, we restore the previous map value using a Tabel_map_restorer object.

As an example, assume that we join four tables, t1, t2, t3 and d1, where d1 is a derived table that depends on t1:

SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.a=t2.b JOIN t3 ON t2.c=t3.d JOIN LATERAL (SELECT DISTINCT e AS x FROM t4 WHERE t4.f=t1.c) AS d1 ON t3.e=d1.x;

Now, if our partial plan is t1->t2, the map (of lateral dependencies of the remaining tables) will contain t1. This tells us that we should not use join buffering when joining t1 with t2. But if the partial plan is t1->d2->t2, the map will be empty. We may thus use join buffering when joining d2 with t2.

◆ do_send_rows

bool JOIN::do_send_rows {true}

If true, send produced rows using query_result.

◆ error

int JOIN::error {0}

set in optimize(), exec(), prepare_result()

◆ examined_rows

ha_rows JOIN::examined_rows {0}

◆ executed

bool JOIN::executed {false}
private

Set by exec(), reset by reset().

Note that this needs to be set during the query (not only when it's done executing), or the dynamic range optimizer will not understand which tables have been read.

◆ explain_flags

Explain_format_flags JOIN::explain_flags {}

Buffer to gather GROUP BY, ORDER BY and DISTINCT QEP details for EXPLAIN.

◆ fetch_limit

ha_rows JOIN::fetch_limit {HA_POS_ERROR}

Used to fetch no more than given amount of rows per one fetch operation of server side cursor.

The value is checked in end_send and end_send_group in fashion, similar to offset_limit_cnt:

  • fetch_limit= HA_POS_ERROR if there is no cursor.
  • when we open a cursor, we set fetch_limit to 0,
  • on each fetch iteration we add num_rows to fetch to fetch_limit

◆ fields

◆ filesorts_to_cleanup

Prealloced_array<Filesort *, 1> JOIN::filesorts_to_cleanup {PSI_NOT_INSTRUMENTED}

◆ found_const_table_map

table_map JOIN::found_const_table_map

ha_rows JOIN::found_records {0}

◆ group_fields

List<Cached_item> JOIN::group_fields {}

◆ group_fields_cache

List<Cached_item> JOIN::group_fields_cache {}

◆ group_list

It happens when fields in the GROUP BY are from constant table

◆ group_sent

bool JOIN::group_sent {false}

Exec time only: true <=> current group has been sent.

◆ grouped

bool JOIN::grouped

If query contains GROUP BY clause.

◆ has_lateral

If JOIN has lateral derived tables (is set at start of planning)

◆ hash_table_generation

uint64_t JOIN::hash_table_generation {0}

Incremented each time clear_hash_tables() is run, signaling to HashJoinIterators that they cannot keep their hash tables anymore (since outer references may have changed).

◆ having_cond

Item* JOIN::having_cond

Optimized HAVING clause item tree (valid for one single execution).

Used in JOIN execution, as last "row filtering" step. With one exception: may be pushed to the JOIN_TABs of temporary tables used in DISTINCT / GROUP BY (see JOIN::make_tmp_tables_info()); in that case having_cond is set to NULL, but is first saved to having_for_explain so that EXPLAIN EXTENDED can still print it. Initialized by Query_block::get_optimizable_conditions().

◆ having_for_explain

Item* JOIN::having_for_explain

Saved optimized HAVING for EXPLAIN.

◆ implicit_grouping

bool JOIN::implicit_grouping

mapping between table indexes and JOIN_TABs

◆ need_tmp_before_win

bool JOIN::need_tmp_before_win {false}

If true we need a temporary table on the result set before any windowing steps, e.g.

for DISTINCT or we have a query ORDER BY. See details in JOIN::optimize

◆ needs_finalize

bool JOIN::needs_finalize {false}

Whether this query block needs finalization (see FinalizePlanForQueryBlock()) before it can be actually used.

This only happens when using the hypergraph join optimizer.

◆ recursive_iteration_count

uint JOIN::recursive_iteration_count {0}

Used only if this query block is recursive.

Contains count of all executions of this recursive query block, since the last this->reset().

◆ ref_items

Ref_item_array* JOIN::ref_items
Initial value:
{
nullptr}

ref_items is an array of 4+ slices, each containing an array of Item pointers.

ref_items is used in different phases of query execution.

  • slice 0 is initially the same as Query_block::base_ref_items, ie it is the set of items referencing fields from base tables. During optimization and execution it may be temporarily overwritten by slice 1-3.
  • slice 1 is a representation of the used items when being read from the first temporary table.
  • slice 2 is a representation of the used items when being read from the second temporary table.
  • slice 3 is a copy of the original slice 0. It is created if slice overwriting is necessary, and it is used to restore original values in slice 0 after having been overwritten.
  • slices 4 -> N are used by windowing: all the window's out tmp tables,

    Two windows: 4: window 1's out table 5: window 2's out table

    and so on.

Slice 0 is allocated for the lifetime of a statement, whereas slices 1-3 are associated with a single optimization. The size of slice 0 determines the slice size used when allocating the other slices.

◆ return_tab

◆ sort_by_table

TABLE* JOIN::sort_by_table {nullptr}

◆ sort_cost

double JOIN::sort_cost {0.0}

Expected cost of filesort.

◆ streaming_aggregation

bool JOIN::streaming_aggregation {false}

Indicates that the data will be aggregated (typically GROUP BY), and that it is already processed in an order that is compatible with the grouping in use (e.g.

because we are scanning along an index, or because an earlier step sorted the data in a group-compatible order).

Note that this flag changes value at multiple points during optimization; if it's set when a temporary table is created, this means we aggregate into said temporary table (end_write_group is chosen instead of end_write), but if it's set later, it means that we can aggregate as we go, just before sending the data to the client (end_send_group is chosen instead of end_send).

make_group_fields, alloc_group_fields, JOIN::exec

◆ sum_funcs

Item_sum** JOIN::sum_funcs {nullptr}

◆ tables

uint JOIN::tables {0}

Before plan has been created, "tables" denote number of input tables in the query block and "primary_tables" is equal to "tables".

After plan has been created (after JOIN::get_best_combination()), the JOIN_TAB objects are enumerated as follows:

  • "tables" gives the total number of allocated JOIN_TAB objects
  • "primary_tables" gives the number of input tables, including materialized temporary tables from semi-join operation.
  • "const_tables" are those tables among primary_tables that are detected to be constant.
  • "tmp_tables" is 0, 1 or 2 (more if windows) and counts the maximum possible number of intermediate tables in post-processing (ie sorting and duplicate removal). Later, tmp_tables will be adjusted to the correct number of intermediate tables,
    See also
    JOIN::make_tmp_tables_info.
  • The remaining tables (ie. tables - primary_tables - tmp_tables) are input tables to materialized semi-join operations. The tables are ordered as follows in the join_tab array:
    1. const primary table
    2. non-const primary tables
    3. intermediate sort/group tables
    4. possible holes in array
    5. semi-joined tables used with materialization strategy Total number of tables in query block

◆ tables_list

Table_ref* JOIN::tables_list

Pointer set to query_block->get_table_list() at the start of optimization.

May be changed (to NULL) only if optimize_aggregated_query() optimizes tables away.

◆ temp_tables

Initial value:

◆ thd

THD* const JOIN::thd

Thread handler.

◆ tmp_fields

mem_root_deque<Item *>* JOIN::tmp_fields = nullptr

Array of pointers to lists of expressions.

Each list represents the SELECT list at a certain stage of execution, and also contains necessary extras: expressions added for ORDER BY, GROUP BY, window clauses, underlying items of split items. This array is only used when the query makes use of tmp tables: after writing to tmp table (e.g. for GROUP BY), if this write also does a function's calculation (e.g. of SUM), after the write the function's value is in a column of the tmp table. If a SELECT list expression is the SUM, and we now want to read that materialized SUM and send it forward, a new expression (Item_field type instead of Item_sum), is needed. The new expressions are listed in JOIN::tmp_fields_list[x]; 'x' is a number (REF_SLICE_).

See also
JOIN::make_tmp_tables_info()

◆ tmp_table_param

Temp_table_param JOIN::tmp_table_param

Describes a temporary table.

Each tmp table has its own tmp_table_param. The one here is transiently used as a model by create_intermediate_table(), to build the tmp table's own tmp_table_param.

◆ tmp_tables

uint JOIN::tmp_tables {0}

Number of temporary tables used by query.

◆ where_cond

Item* JOIN::where_cond

JOIN::having_cond is initially equal to query_block->having_cond, but may later be changed by optimizations performed by JOIN.

The relationship between the JOIN::having_cond condition and the associated variable query_block->having_value is so that having_value can be:

  • COND_UNDEF if a having clause was not specified in the query or if it has not been optimized yet
  • COND_TRUE if the having clause is always true, in which case JOIN::having_cond is set to NULL.
  • COND_FALSE if the having clause is impossible, in which case JOIN::having_cond is set to NULL
  • COND_OK otherwise, meaning that the having clause needs to be further evaluated All of the above also applies to the where_cond/query_block->cond_value pair. Optimized WHERE clause item tree (valid for one single execution). Used in JOIN execution if no tables. Otherwise, attached in pieces to JOIN_TABs and then not used in JOIN execution. Printed by EXPLAIN EXTENDED. Initialized by Query_block::get_optimizable_conditions().

◆ windowing_cost

double JOIN::windowing_cost {0.0}

Expected cost of windowing;.

◆ with_json_agg

bool JOIN::with_json_agg

This will force tmp table to NOT use index + update for group operation as it'll cause [de]serialization for each json aggregated value and is very ineffective (times worse).

Server should use filesort, or tmp table + filesort to resolve GROUP BY with JSON aggregate functions.

◆ zero_result_cause

const char* JOIN::zero_result_cause {nullptr}

<> NULL if optimization has determined that execution will produce an empty result before aggregation, contains a textual explanation on why result is empty.

Implicitly grouped queries may still produce an aggregation row.
