explain in maria-5.3-mwl89:

EXPLAIN SELECT ( SELECT f1 FROM t1 ) AS field1 FROM t2 GROUP BY field1;
id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra

2 SUBQUERY t1 system NULL NULL NULL NULL 0 const row not found

test case. optimizer switches are not strictly required:

SET SESSION optimizer_switch='subquery_cache=off,semijoin=off,materialization=off';
CREATE TABLE t2 (f1 int) ;
INSERT IGNORE INTO t2 VALUES (1),(2);

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (f1 int) ;

SELECT ( SELECT f1 FROM t1 ) AS field1 FROM t2 GROUP BY field1;
