Re: Query returns NULLs where no result is expected in maria-5.3-mwl89
maria-5.3, as well as running the same query within a view produce the correct result - empty result set.

Re: Query returns NULLs where no result is expected in maria-5.3-mwl89
The result with LEFT JOIN is also incorrect. Here is another example

SET SESSION optimizer_switch='materialization=off,subquery_cache=off,semijoin=off';

Re: Query returns rows where no result is expected (impossible WHERE) in maria-5.3-mwl89
Only the first test case is reproducible, with both materialization and
in-to-exists. The OUTER JOIN matters.

Re: Query returns rows where no result is expected (impossible WHERE) in maria-5.3-mwl89
Simplified test case below. Notice the rewriting the
query with a LEFT join doesn't reproduce the bug.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1, t2;

CREATE TABLE t1 (
c1 int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
c2 varchar(1) DEFAULT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE t2 (
c1 int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
c2 varchar(1) DEFAULT NULL
);
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (7,'k');
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (4,'d');

SET @@optimizer_switch='in_to_exists=on,materialization=off,subquery_cache=off,semijoin=off';

SELECT t1.c2
FROM t1 RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.c1
WHERE 's' IN (SELECT c2 FROM t2);

Re: Query returns rows where no result is expected (impossible WHERE) in maria-5.3-mwl89
Even simpler test case:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1, t2;

CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 varchar(1) DEFAULT NULL);
CREATE TABLE t2 (c1 varchar(1) DEFAULT NULL);
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES ('k');
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES ('d');

SET @@optimizer_switch='in_to_exists=on,materialization=off,subquery_cache=off,semijoin=off';

SELECT t1.c1
FROM t1 RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.c1
WHERE 's' IN (SELECT c1 FROM t2);
