MDEV-6768 Wrong result with aggregate with join with no result set
When a query does implicit grouping and join operation produces an empty result set, a NULL-complemented row combination is generated. However, constant table fields still show non-NULL values. What happens in the is that end_send_group() is called with a const row but without any rows matching the WHERE clause. This last part is shown by 'join->first_record' not being set. This causes item->no_rows_in_result() to be called for all items to reset all sum functions to their initial state. However fields are not set to NULL. The used fix is to produce NULL-complemented records for constant tables as well. Also, reset the constant table's records back in case we're in a subquery which may get re-executed. An alternative fix would have item->no_rows_in_result() also work with Item_field objects. There is some other issues with the code: - join->no_rows_in_result_called is used but never set. - Tables that are used with group functions are not properly marked as maybe_null, which is required if the table rows should be regarded as null-complemented (not existing). - The code that tries to detect if mixed_implicit_grouping should be set didn't take into account all usage of fields and sum functions. - Item_func::restore_to_before_no_rows_in_result() called the wrong function. - join->clear() does not use a table_map argument to clear_tables(), which caused it to ignore constant tables. - unclear_tables() does not correctly restore status to what is was before clear_tables(). Main bug fix was to always use a table_map argument to clear_tables() and always use join->clear() and clear_tables() together with unclear_tables(). Other fixes: - Fixed Item_func::restore_to_before_no_rows_in_result() - Set 'join->no_rows_in_result_called' when no_rows_in_result_set() is called. - Removed not used argument from setup_end_select_func(). - More code comments - Ensure that end_send_group() modifies the same fields as are in the result set. - Changed return_zero_rows() to use pointers instead of references, similar to the rest of the code.
