Patch for mdev-287: CHEAP SQ: A query with subquery in SELECT list, EXISTS,...
Patch for mdev-287: CHEAP SQ: A query with subquery in SELECT list, EXISTS, inner joins takes hundreds times longer Analysis: The fix for lp:944706 introduces early subquery optimization. While a subquery is being optimized some of its predicates may be removed. In the test case, the EXISTS subquery is constant, and is evaluated to TRUE. As a result the whole OR is TRUE, and thus the correlated condition "b = alias1.b" is optimized away. The subquery becomes non-correlated. The subquery cache is designed to work only for correlated subqueries. If constant subquery optimization is disallowed, then the constant subquery is not evaluated, the subquery remains correlated, and its execution is cached. As a result execution is fast. However, when the constant subquery was optimized away, it was neither cached by the subquery cache, nor it was cached by the internal subquery caching. The latter was due to the fact that the subquery still appeared as correlated to the subselect_XYZ_engine::exec methods, and they re-executed the subquery on each call to Item_subselect::exec. Solution: The solution is to update the correlated status of the subquery after it has been optimized. This status consists of: - st_select_lex::is_correlated - Item_subselect::is_correlated - SELECT_LEX::uncacheable - SELECT_LEX_UNIT::uncacheable The status is updated by st_select_lex::update_correlated_cache(), and its caller st_select_lex::optimize_unflattened_subqueries. The solution relies on the fact that the optimizer already called st_select_lex::update_used_tables() for each subquery. This allows to efficiently update the correlated status of each subquery without walking the whole subquery tree. Notice that his patch is an improvement over MySQL 5.6 and older, where subqueries are not pre-optimized, and the above analysis is not possible.
