1. Actual result: empty set

Re: Wrong result (missing rows) with simple join and WHERE with = and ANDs, no subqueries, MyISAM or Aria
The following query allows to show the problem in a more stable way across different server versions:

set @@optimizer_switch='index_condition_pushdown=off';

explain extended
SELECT count FROM t5 straight_join t1 straight_join t3 straight_join t4 straight_join t2
WHERE t5.dog_id = t1.dog_id
AND t1.dog_id = t4.dog_id
AND t1.birthday = t4.birthday
AND t4.t_id = t2.t_id
AND t4.birthday = t2.birthday
AND t2.dog_id = t3.dog_id;

ICP is switched off to make comparison easier with 5.2, as well as to rule it out as a possible
cause and simplify the query plan. I will use the above query in the rest of the analysis.

MySQL 5.6.4 shows the closest query plan that works correctly compared to 5.3.

In 5.3 the plan is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While in MySQL 5.6.4 the query plan is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only difference in the plans is that the access method for the last table 't4' is
"Using index" in MariaDB, and is "Using where; Using index" in MySQL.

My theory is that 5.3 creates an incorrect "ref" access method, and at the same time possibly
incorrectly decides not to use a filter condition.

Re: Wrong result (missing rows) with simple join and WHERE with = and ANDs, no subqueries, MyISAM or Aria

Parallel debugging that compares execution of MariaDB 5.3 and MySQL 5.6.4
shows the following:

= The second call to sub_select() accesses table 't2'.

= The call:
error= (*join_tab->read_first_record)(join_tab);
returns 0 in MySQL (key found), but 120 in MariaDB (key not found)

= The cause is result of incorrect contents of the key buffer. I think
so because if we manually replace ref.key_buff[4] with the contents
it has in MySQL, then the key is found correctly.

= The key buffer of the ref access method is filled by the following
call chain:

#0 store_key_field::copy_inner
#1 store_key::copy
#2 cp_buffer_from_ref
#3 join_read_always_key
#4 sub_select
...

= Investigation of store_key_field::copy_inner shows that there is a
difference in the second field of the key.

• MySQL copies t4.t_id into t2.t_id.
• MariaDB copies t1.birthday into t2.t_id.

This is clearly wrong. The rest of the analysis will figure out why
store_key_field.copy_field->from_field is incorrect (and possibly the
rest of the store_key objects contained in the join_tab->ref->key_copy
array.

Re: Wrong result (missing rows) with simple join and WHERE with = and ANDs, no subqueries, MyISAM or Aria
Thank you very much. I can confirm the fix stops the problem using the other (large) reproducers I have when building revision 3467.

Myself and others shall continue testing MariaDB 5.3 using:

Re: Wrong result (missing rows) with simple join and WHERE with = and ANDs, no subqueries, MyISAM or Aria
Fix released in 5.3.6
