Detailed Description

Query term tree structure.

There are five node types, cf. Query_term_type. Leaf nodes are Query_block objects. We have three kinds of n-ary set operation nodes corresponding to INTERSECT, UNION and EXCEPT. Finally, we have a "unary" node which essentially adds a ORDER BY/LIMIT over another node.

Query blocks serve a dual purpose: they represent the query specification and table constructors of the query. As such they are the leaf nodes of the query tree. But they also serve as a way to realize ORDER BY and LIMIT for non-leaf nodes, accessed via the function Query_term::query_block(). Therefore, every non-leaf node in the tree has a companion Query_block to hold ORDER BY and LIMIT information. For the leaf nodes, which are themselves query blocks, the query_block() function just returns a pointer to self, i.e. the leaf nodes handle ORDER BY and LIMIT themselves.

Example: ((SELECT * FROM t1 UNION SELECT * FROM t2 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM t3
           ORDER BY a LIMIT 5) INTERSECT
          (((SELECT * FROM t3 ORDER BY a LIMIT 4) ) EXCEPT SELECT * FROM t4)
          ORDER BY a LIMIT 4) ORDER BY -a LIMIT 3;

Note that all leaf query blocks representing the query specifications are linked under Query_expression via their next pointers. The nesting is achieved by the arrows on the left side of the figure, via the nodes' m_children members. The four classes Query_term_unary and Query_term_{union, intersect, except} are modelled via the base class Query_term_set_op which contains a m_children member. Each of these also contain a Query_block which will handle its order by and/or limit clauses. These are similar to the old so-called "fake_query_block" (which is now gone), and are not linked in with "next" pointers.

The is also a back pointer from the children nodes to the parent Query_term object (not shown).

In the simple case of a single query specification (or table value constructor or explicit table), there is no super-structure over the Query_block linked from the Query_expression, i.e. Query_expression's m_query_term member is just a Query_block.

The query blocks (QT_QUERY_BLOCK nodes) corresponding to the query specification (or table value constructors) are prepared and optimized by running over them from the Query_expression via the slave/next pointers as before. There are separate methods which handle prepare and optimization for non-leaves, i.e. nodes of types QT_UNARY, QT_INTERSECT, QT_EXCEPT and QT_UNION.

We also define an iterator class (Query_terms) for iterating over all the nodes in the tree, see also Query_expression::query_terms() for its use. When possible, we access all nodes using iterators.

The built structure can be traced with the debug trace keyword "ast", e.g. as SET SESSION debug = 'd,ast:O,/tmp/mysqld.trace';

tuple {bool found, bool redundant} redundant==true means ORDER BY of the block is redundant and can be eliminated.

Not very object oriented with this switch, but nice to keep logic in one place.

Logic here presumes that query expressions that only add limit (not order by) will have been pushed down

◆ validate_structure()

bool Query_term::validate_structure ( const Query_term parent,
int  depth = 0 
) const

Return true if structure is too deep, i.e.

more than MAX_SELECT_NESTING. As a side effect is also gives the post processing block a select number, this is done late so as to get numbers higher the leaf blocks, and in inside out order, so that the top set operation block will have the highest number.

Parameters
parentthe real parent in the tree as visited recursively
depththe current depth in the tree, starting at 0 at the top. It is increased with one for each time we recurse into a child.
Returns
