SELECT ... WHERE ... IN (NULL, ...) does full table scan, even if the same query without the NULL uses efficient range scan. The bugfix for the bug 18360 introduced an optimization: if 1) all right-hand arguments of the IN function are constants 2) result types of all right argument items are compatible enough to use the same single comparison function to compare all of them to the left argument, then we can convert the right-hand list of constant items to an array of equally-typed constant values for the further QUICK index access etc. (see Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec()). The Item_null constant item objects have STRING_RESULT result types, so, as far as Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec() is aware of NULLs in the right list, this improvement efficiently optimizes IN function calls with a mixed right list of NULLs and string constants. However, the optimization doesn't affect mixed lists of NULLs and integers, floats etc., because there is no unique common comparator. New optimization has been added to ignore the result type of NULL constants in the static analysis of mixed right-hand lists. This is safe, because at the execution phase we care about presence of NULLs anyway. 1. The collect_cmp_types() function has been modified to optionally ignore NULL constants in the item list. 2. NULL-skipping code of the Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec() function has been modified to work not only with in_string vectors but with in_vectors of other types. mysql-test/r/func_in.result: Added test case for the bug #44139. mysql-test/t/func_in.test: Added test case for the bug #44139. sql/item_cmpfunc.cc: Bug #44139: Table scan when NULL appears in IN clause 1. The collect_cmp_types() function has been modified to optionally ignore NULL constants in the item list. 2. NULL-skipping code of the Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec() function has been modified to work not only with in_string vectors but with in_vectors of other types.
