Description:
Joining multiple tables together in a select statement with where clauses
using the IN (...) construct generate duplicated output rows.
How-To-Repeat:
1. ==Load the following into the test_bug database:
# MySQL dump 8.14
#
# Host: localhostDatabase: test_bug
#
# Server version3.23.41
#
# Table structure for table 'event'
#
CREATE TABLE event (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
status int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
severity int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
UNIQUE KEY lens_event_0 (status,severity,id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
#
# Dumping data for table 'event'
#
INSERT INTO event VALUES (1,0,2);
INSERT INTO event VALUES (2,0,2);
INSERT INTO event VALUES (3,0,3);
INSERT INTO event VALUES (4,0,3);
INSERT INTO event VALUES (5,1,2);
INSERT INTO event VALUES (6,2,3);
#
# Table structure for table 'severity'
#
CREATE TABLE severity (
severity int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
description text
) TYPE=MyISAM;
#
# Dumping data for table 'severity'
#
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (0,'Unknown');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (1,'Alert');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (2,'Critical');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (3,'Error');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (4,'Warning');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (5,'Notification');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (6,'Informational');
INSERT INTO severity VALUES (7,'Debugging');
#
# Table structure for table 'status'
#
CREATE TABLE status (
status int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
description text
) TYPE=MyISAM;
#
# Dumping data for table 'status'
#
INSERT INTO status VALUES (0,'New');
INSERT INTO status VALUES (1,'Acknowledged');
INSERT INTO status VALUES (2,'Working');
INSERT INTO status VALUES (3,'Resolved');
INSERT INTO status VALUES (4,'Closed');
2. ==Execute the query query_normal.sql which produces the expected output:
(all 6 rows of event are returned)
select * from event, status, severity
where event.status = status.status
and event.severity = severity.severity;
yields a result set of 6 rows
3. ==Execute the query query_failure.sql which produces the failed output:
(Note the IN (...) clauses should have no effect on the output)
select * from event, status, severity
where event.status = status.status
and event.severity = severity.severity
and event.status in (0,1,2)
and event.severity in (2,3);
yields a result set of 30 rows, with duplicated IDs
