Re: optimizer in function

2011-10-08 Thread Michael Dykman
I think the only clues the optimizer consults with regard to UDFs is the
'characteristic' provided at the time you create the routine.

from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-procedure.html

*characteristic*:
COMMENT '*string*'
  | LANGUAGE SQL

optimizer in function

2011-10-08 Thread Hal�sz S�ndor
Does the optimizer look into function called from query?

In my queries the expression (SELECT hwyl FROM Stock) / (SELECT regularPayment 
FROM Stock), where Stock is a one-record table, often is repeated. The 
optimizer sees that, and makes the ratio a constant, and I can afford to be 
clear. If that expression were within a function called from the same spot, 
would the optimizer look into the function and see the same effectiv constant? 
or is it better to make it an argument to the function?

Query works; query in function doesn't

2007-04-01 Thread Kevin Chen
I have a puzzling situation where a query works, but only outside of a
function. If I try to abstract away some of the complexity by placing the
subquery inside a function, the db seems to get stuck in an infinite query
and the entire system becomes unresponsive (from the MySQL console I can
ctrl-c to break out, but from the GUI query browser there is no way to stop
it other than hard reset).

Anyway, the db is laid out so that a class of elements is kept in one table,
while another table keeps instances of the elements. The 'entry' number from
the class table is used as a foreign key in the instance table. Makes sense
so far, right? The tricky part is that the 'entry' number is just an
internal value used as a unique key, so the users of the instance table have
to keep looking up the 'name' of the element in order to find out what the
'entry' number is. The idea is to make life easier for them by translating
the 'name' string into the 'entry' number via a function.

So, here's a raw query string, which works ok:

SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE id=(SELECT entry FROM tbl2 WHERE name='someguy');
-- returns the correct rows from tbl1

If I take the subquery and put it in a function, which takes the name string
as an argument, then make a simple SELECT query to test the function by
itself, it returns the correct value, like so:

create function getNumber(cName varchar(255)) returns int begin
 return (select entry from tbl2 where name=cName);
end;

SELECT getNumber('someguy'); -- returns the correct value

Now, when I try to use the function in the full query, that's when the
problem state occurs:

SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE id=getNumber('someguy'); -- disaster

Can anybody tell me what's wrong?

I would guess that it has more to do with the amount of your key 
space that the list ranges over than with the absolute number of 
entries.  Try comparing "IN ('a', 'z')" (or something similar) 
with "IN ('a', 'aa', 'aaa', 'aab', [...], 'aaaz')" (with 
lots of entries, all between 'a' and 'ab', or another small 
range).  MySQL can use a range of the index for the second, even 
though there are lots of entries, but not for the first, which 
may force it to scan the whole index.

RE: What is the max length of IN() function?

2005-02-16 Thread Donny Simonton
Actually, I've done a test with this in the past, we could not find a limit.
But there is a magic number where the optimizer stops doing a good job of
optimizing the query and it starts to get really slow.

In our case we were using words, and phrases, so we would have something
like:

IN ('a', 'apple', 'apple car', 'car', 'c')  etc...

We found that once it hits about 200 or so entries the query went from 0.00
seconds to about 2-3 seconds.  Sometimes much more.

finding "in"... ;-)

Can someone tell me what the maximum length is for this function?

SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar IN(1,2,3,4,. N);

How many entries can there be in between 1 and N ? Hundreds? Thousands?
Millions?

mysql 4.1.7 make error "manager.c: In function `mysql_manager_connect':"

2004-12-03 Thread Ryan H. Madison
Hello,
Sorry for the cross post, I didn't get any response from the internals 
list... I'm trying to compile mysql 4.1.7 from source on SLES 8, running on 
os390. I'm having a problem that others have seemed to have:
http://lists.mysql.com/internals/17577
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/225560
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,6459,6459
http://lists.mysql.com/internals/3838

But the fixes that were suggested were not clear, and in some cases, like for 
17577, I tried adding the references to the other header files, but it did not 
fix the problem. If anyone can be of assistance, it would greatly be 
appreciated.

-Thanks, RYAN

Hi,

I have written a program that creates statments for me, and sometimes I end
with
SELECT..WHERE number IN(1)
instead of
SELECT... WHERE number IN(1,2,3,4)
would number IN(1) works,
for the moment i have no mean to test it, it is why i'm asking.

Re: Using the IN function

2001-04-26 Thread Robert Schelander

I've had the same problem once.
Reading the manual I found out that MySQL is not SQL conform
and does not support sub-selects.
You'll have to rewrite the statement that you don't need a sub-select
or if not possible create a temporary table.

Robert

RE: Using the IN function

As I understand it, you can only list distinct values in an IN clause -
MySQL doesn't yet support subqueries here - according to the manual.See
page 139 of the pdf manual.

Probably a simple question:

I am returning back to SQL after a break, and I was sure that I could do the
following when using the IN function:

SELECT field1 FROM table1 where field1 NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT field2 FROM
table2);

but clearly not.

Could anyone suggest what I am doing wrong, or is this type of statement not
valid syntax.

Cheers

Using the IN function

2001-04-26 Thread Bobby Chopra

Probably a simple question:

I am returning back to SQL after a break, and I was sure that I could do the
following when using the IN function:

SELECT field1 FROM table1 where field1 NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT field2 FROM
table2);

but clearly not.

Could anyone suggest what I am doing wrong, or is this type of statement not
valid syntax.
