                                indicates whether it is possible to use subquery
                                materialization and scan the materialized table.

  @retval TRUE   If subquery types allow materialization.
  @retval FALSE  Otherwise.

  @details
    This is a temporary fix for BUG#36752.
    
    There are two subquery materialization strategies:

    1. Materialize and do index lookups in the materialized table. See 
       BUG#36752 for description of restrictions we need to put on the
       compared expressions.

    2. Materialize and then do a full scan of the materialized table. At the
       moment, this strategy's applicability criteria are even stricter than
       in #1.

       This is so because of the following: consider an uncorrelated subquery
       
       ...WHERE (ot1.col1, ot2.col2 ...) IN (SELECT ie1,ie2,... FROM it1 ...)

       and a join order that could be used to do sjm-materialization: 
          
          SJM-Scan(it1, it1), ot1, ot2
       
       IN-equalities will be parts of conditions attached to the outer tables:

         ot1:  ot1.col1 = ie1 AND ... (C1)
         ot2:  ot1.col2 = ie2 AND ... (C2)
       
       besides those there may be additional references to ie1 and ie2
       generated by equality propagation. The problem with evaluating C1 and
       C2 is that ie{1,2} refer to subquery tables' columns, while we only have 
       current value of materialization temptable. Our solution is to 
        * require that all ie{N} are table column references. This allows 
          to copy the values of materialization temptable columns to the
          original table's columns (see setup_sj_materialization for more
          details)
        * require that compared columns have exactly the same type. This is
          a temporary measure to avoid BUG#36752-type problems.

  Convert semi-join subquery predicates into semi-join join nests

  SYNOPSIS
    convert_join_subqueries_to_semijoins()
 
  DESCRIPTION

    Convert candidate subquery predicates into semi-join join nests. This 
    transformation is performed once in query lifetime and is irreversible.
    
    Conversion of one subquery predicate
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We start with a join that has a semi-join subquery:

      SELECT ...
      FROM ot, ...
      WHERE oe IN (SELECT ie FROM it1 ... itN WHERE subq_where) AND outer_where

    and convert it into a semi-join nest:

      SELECT ...
      FROM ot SEMI JOIN (it1 ... itN), ...
      WHERE outer_where AND subq_where AND oe=ie

    that is, in order to do the conversion, we need to 

     * Create the "SEMI JOIN (it1 .. itN)" part and add it into the parent
       query's FROM structure.
     * Add "AND subq_where AND oe=ie" into parent query's WHERE (or ON if
       the subquery predicate was in an ON expression)
     * Remove the subquery predicate from the parent query's WHERE

    Considerations when converting many predicates
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    A join may have at most MAX_TABLES tables. This may prevent us from
    flattening all subqueries when the total number of tables in parent and
    child selects exceeds MAX_TABLES.
    We deal with this problem by flattening children's subqueries first and
    then using a heuristic rule to determine each subquery predicate's
    "priority".

  RETURN 
    FALSE  OK
    TRUE   Error

  Convert a subquery predicate into a TABLE_LIST semi-join nest

  SYNOPSIS
    convert_subq_to_sj()
       parent_join  Parent join, the one that has subq_pred in its WHERE/ON 
                    clause
       subq_pred    Subquery predicate to be converted
  
  DESCRIPTION
    Convert a subquery predicate into a TABLE_LIST semi-join nest. All the 
    prerequisites are already checked, so the conversion is always successfull.

    Prepared Statements: the transformation is permanent:
     - Changes in TABLE_LIST structures are naturally permanent
     - Item tree changes are performed on statement MEM_ROOT:
        = we activate statement MEM_ROOT 
        = this function is called before the first fix_prepare_information
          call.

    This is intended because the criteria for subquery-to-sj conversion remain
    constant for the lifetime of the Prepared Statement.

  RETURN
    FALSE  OK
    TRUE   Out of memory error

/*
  Pull tables out of semi-join nests, if possible

  SYNOPSIS
    pull_out_semijoin_tables()
      join  The join where to do the semi-join flattening

  DESCRIPTION
    Try to pull tables out of semi-join nests.
     
    PRECONDITIONS
    When this function is called, the join may have several semi-join nests
    but it is guaranteed that one semi-join nest does not contain another.
   
    ACTION
    A table can be pulled out of the semi-join nest if
     - It is a constant table, or
     - It is accessed via eq_ref(outer_tables)

    POSTCONDITIONS
     * Tables that were pulled out have JOIN_TAB::emb_sj_nest == NULL
     * Tables that were not pulled out have JOIN_TAB::emb_sj_nest pointing 
       to semi-join nest they are in.
     * Semi-join nests' TABLE_LIST::sj_inner_tables is updated accordingly

    This operation is (and should be) performed at each PS execution since
    tables may become/cease to be constant across PS reexecutions.
    
  NOTE
    Table pullout may make uncorrelated subquery correlated. Consider this
    example:
    
     ... WHERE oe IN (SELECT it1.primary_key WHERE p(it1, it2) ... ) 
    
    here table it1 can be pulled out (we have it1.primary_key=oe which gives
    us functional dependency). Once it1 is pulled out, all references to it1
    from p(it1, it2) become references to outside of the subquery and thus
    make the subquery (i.e. its semi-join nest) correlated.
    Making the subquery (i.e. its semi-join nest) correlated prevents us from
    using Materialization or LooseScan to execute it. 

  RETURN 
    0 - OK
    1 - Out of memory error

          Do not pull out tables because they are constant. This operation has
          a problem:
          - Some constant tables may become/cease to be constant across PS
            re-executions
          - Contrary to our initial assumption, it turned out that table pullout 
            operation is not easily undoable.

          The solution is to leave constant tables where they are. This will
          affect only constant tables that are 1-row or empty, tables that are
          constant because they are accessed via eq_ref(const) access will
          still be pulled out as functionally-dependent.

          This will cause us to miss the chance to flatten some of the 
          subqueries, but since const tables do not generate many duplicates,
          it really doesn't matter that much whether they were pulled out or
          not.

  DESCRIPTION
    Optimize each of the semi-join nests that can be run with
    materialization. For each of the nests, we
     - Generate the best join order for this "sub-join" and remember it;
     - Remember the sub-join execution cost (it's part of materialization
       cost);
     - Calculate other costs that will be incurred if we decide 
       to use materialization strategy for this semi-join nest.

    All obtained information is saved and will be used by the main join
    optimization pass.

  DESCRIPTION
    Update semi-join optimization state after we've added another tab (table

    The state is maintained in join->positions[#prefix_size]. Each of the
    available strategies has its own state variables.
    
    for each semi-join strategy
    {
      update strategy's state variables;

          using this strategy for the semi-join(s))

    Most of the new state is saved join->positions[idx] (and hence no undo
    is necessary). Several members of class JOIN are updated also, these
    changes can be rolled back with restore_prev_sj_state().

    See setup_semijoin_dups_elimination() for a description of what kinds of

/*
  Fix semi-join strategies for the picked join order

  SYNOPSIS
    fix_semijoin_strategies_for_picked_join_order()
      join  The join with the picked join order

  DESCRIPTION
    Fix semi-join strategies for the picked join order. This is a step that
    needs to be done right after we have fixed the join order. What we do
    here is switch join's semi-join strategy description from backward-based
    to forwards based.
    
    When join optimization is in progress, we re-consider semi-join
    strategies after we've added another table. Here's an illustration.
    Suppose the join optimization is underway:

    1) ot1  it1  it2 
                 sjX  -- looking at (ot1, it1, it2) join prefix, we decide
                         to use semi-join strategy sjX.

    2) ot1  it1  it2  ot2 
                 sjX  sjY -- Having added table ot2, we now may consider
                             another semi-join strategy and decide to use a 
                             different strategy sjY. Note that the record
                             of sjX has remained under it2. That is
                             necessary because we need to be able to get
                             back to (ot1, it1, it2) join prefix.
      what makes things even worse is that there are cases where the choice
      of sjY changes the way we should access it2. 

    3) [ot1  it1  it2  ot2  ot3]
                  sjX  sjY  -- This means that after join optimization is
                               finished, semi-join info should be read
                               right-to-left (while nearly all plan refinement
                               functions, EXPLAIN, etc proceed from left to

      Setup copying of temptable columns back to the record buffers

      refer to the original tables.

      EXAMPLE

      Consider the query:
        SELECT * FROM ot WHERE ot.col1 IN (SELECT it.col2 FROM it)
      
      Suppose it's executed with SJ-Materialization-scan. We choose to do scan
      if we can't do the lookup, i.e. the join order is (it, ot). The plan
      would look as follows:

        table    access method      condition
         it      materialize+scan    -
         ot      (whatever)          ot1.col1=it.col2 (C2)

      The condition C2 refers to current row of table it. The problem is
      that by the time we evaluate C2, we would have finished with scanning
      it itself and will be scanning the temptable. 

      At the moment, our solution is to copy back: when we get the next
      temptable record, we copy its columns to their corresponding columns
      in the record buffers for the source tables.

           Item_equal(it1.col, it2.col, ot.col)

         equality propagation, then we need to unpack it to the first

  DESCRIPTION
    Create a temporary table to weed out duplicate rowid combinations. The
    table has a single column that is a concatenation of all rowids in the
    combination. 

    Depending on the needed length, there are two cases:

    1. When the length of the column < max_key_length:

      CREATE TABLE tmp (col VARBINARY(n) NOT NULL, UNIQUE KEY(col));

    2. Otherwise (not a valid SQL syntax but internally supported):

      CREATE TABLE tmp (col VARBINARY NOT NULL, UNIQUE CONSTRAINT(col));

    The code in this function was produced by extraction of relevant parts
    from create_tmp_table().

  RETURN
    created table
    NULL on error

  Setup the strategies to eliminate semi-join duplicates.
  
  SYNOPSIS
    setup_semijoin_dups_elimination()
      join           Join to process
      options        Join options (needed to see if join buffering will be 
                     used or not)
      no_jbuf_after  Another bit of information re where join buffering will
                     be used.

  DESCRIPTION
    Setup the strategies to eliminate semi-join duplicates. ATM there are 4
    strategies:

    1. DuplicateWeedout (use of temptable to remove duplicates based on rowids
                         of row combinations)
    2. FirstMatch (pick only the 1st matching row combination of inner tables)
    3. LooseScan (scanning the sj-inner table in a way that groups duplicates
                  together and picking the 1st one)
    4. SJ-Materialization.
    
    The join order has "duplicate-generating ranges", and every range is
    served by one strategy or a combination of FirstMatch with with some
    other strategy.
    
    "Duplicate-generating range" is defined as a range within the join order
    that contains all of the inner tables of a semi-join. All ranges must be
    disjoint, if tables of several semi-joins are interleaved, then the ranges
    are joined together, which is equivalent to converting
      SELECT ... WHERE oe1 IN (SELECT ie1 ...) AND oe2 IN (SELECT ie2 )
    to
      SELECT ... WHERE (oe1, oe2) IN (SELECT ie1, ie2 ... ...)
    .

    Applicability conditions are as follows:

    DuplicateWeedout strategy
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      (ot|nt)*  [ it ((it|ot|nt)* (it|ot))]  (nt)*
      +------+  +=========================+  +---+
        (1)                 (2)               (3)

       (1) - Prefix of OuterTables (those that participate in 
             IN-equality and/or are correlated with subquery) and outer 
             Non-correlated tables.
       (2) - The handled range. The range starts with the first sj-inner
             table, and covers all sj-inner and outer tables 
             Within the range,  Inner, Outer, outer non-correlated tables
             may follow in any order.
       (3) - The suffix of outer non-correlated tables.
    
    FirstMatch strategy
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      (ot|nt)*  [ it ((it|nt)* it) ]  (nt)*
      +------+  +==================+  +---+
        (1)             (2)          (3)

      (1) - Prefix of outer and non-correlated tables
      (2) - The handled range, which may contain only inner and
            non-correlated tables.
      (3) - The suffix of outer non-correlated tables.

    LooseScan strategy 
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     (ot|ct|nt) [ loosescan_tbl (ot|nt|it)* it ]  (ot|nt)*
     +--------+   +===========+ +=============+   +------+
        (1)           (2)          (3)              (4)
     
      (1) - Prefix that may contain any outer tables. The prefix must contain
            all the non-trivially correlated outer tables. (non-trivially means
            that the correlation is not just through the IN-equality).
      
      (2) - Inner table for which the LooseScan scan is performed.

      (3) - The remainder of the duplicate-generating range. It is served by 
            application of FirstMatch strategy, with the exception that
            outer IN-correlated tables are considered to be non-correlated.

      (4) - THe suffix of outer and outer non-correlated tables.

  
  The choice between the strategies is made by the join optimizer (see
  advance_sj_state() and fix_semijoin_strategies_for_picked_join_order()).
  This function sets up all fields/structures/etc needed for execution except
  for setup/initialization of semi-join materialization which is done in 
  setup_sj_materialization() (todo: can't we move that to here also?)

  RETURN
    FALSE  OK 
    TRUE   Out of memory error

  Remove the predicates pushed down into the subquery

  SYNOPSIS
    remove_subq_pushed_predicates()
      where   IN  Must be NULL
              OUT The remaining WHERE condition, or NULL

  DESCRIPTION
    Given that this join will be executed using (unique|index)_subquery,
    without "checking NULL", remove the predicates that were pushed down
    into the subquery.

    If the subquery compares scalar values, we can remove the condition that
    was wrapped into trig_cond (it will be checked when needed by the subquery
    engine)

    If the subquery compares row values, we need to keep the wrapped
    equalities in the WHERE clause: when the left (outer) tuple has both NULL
    and non-NULL values, we'll do a full table scan and will rely on the
    equalities corresponding to non-NULL parts of left tuple to filter out
    non-matching records.

    TODO: We can remove the equalities that will be guaranteed to be true by the
    fact that subquery engine will be using index lookup. This must be done only
    for cases where there are no conversion errors of significance, e.g. 257
    that is searched in a byte. But this requires homogenization of the return 
    codes of all Field*::store() methods.
