Open Olernov opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

  • [x] The Jira issue number for this PR is: MDEV-33281

Provide the possibility to add optimizer hints to statements in MySQL-compatible format:

SELECT /*+ hint1(s) hint2(s1 s2) */ ... ;
UPDATE /*+ hint(s) */ ... ; 
... (SELECT /*+ hint(s) */ ) ...;

Implemented so far:

  •     hints for join buffering: BNL(), NO_BNL(), BKA(), NO_BKA();
    
  •     NO_ICP() hint for disabling index condition pushdown;
    
  •     MRR(), MO_MRR() hint for multi-range reads control;
    
  •     NO_RANGE_OPTIMIZATION() for disabling range optimization;
    
  •     QB_NAME() for assigning names for query blocks.
