Given a table with a compound key on columns (a,b,c), the following types of queries are optimised (assuming the table handler supports the required methods) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1[,t2,t3,...] SELECT MIN(b) FROM t1 WHERE a=const SELECT MAX(c) FROM t1 WHERE a=const AND b=const SELECT MAX(b) FROM t1 WHERE a=const AND bconst SELECT MIN(b) FROM t1 WHERE a=const AND b BETWEEN const AND const SELECT MAX(b) FROM t1 WHERE a=const AND b BETWEEN const AND const Instead of '<' one can use '<=', '>', '>=' and '=' as well. Instead of 'a=const' the condition 'a IS NULL' can be used. If all selected fields are replaced then we will also remove all involved tables and return the answer without any join. Thus, the following query will be replaced with a row of two constants: SELECT MAX(b), MIN(d) FROM t1,t2 WHERE a=const AND bconst (assuming a index for column d of table t2 is defined) */ #include "mysql_priv.h" #include "sql_select.h" static bool find_key_for_maxmin(bool max_fl, TABLE_REF *ref, Field* field, COND *cond, uint *range_fl, uint *key_prefix_length); static int reckey_in_range(bool max_fl, TABLE_REF *ref, Field* field, COND *cond, uint range_fl, uint prefix_len); static int maxmin_in_range(bool max_fl, Field* field, COND *cond); /* Substitutes constants for some COUNT(), MIN() and MAX() functions.
