subselect.result, subselect.test:
Added test cases for bug #7351. item_cmpfunc.cc: Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a subquery returning empty set. If in the predicate v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond) v is null, then the result of the predicate is either INKNOWN or FALSE. It is FALSE if the subquery returns an empty set. item_subselect.cc: Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a subquery returning empty set. The problem was due to not a quite legal transformation for 'IN' subqueries. A subquery containing a predicate of the form v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond) was transformed into EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (a=v OR a IS NULL)). Yet, this transformation is valid only if v is not null. If v is null, then, in the case when (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond) returns an empty set the value of the predicate is FALSE, otherwise the result of the predicate is INKNOWN. The fix resolves this problem by changing the result of the transformation to EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (v IS NULL OR (a=v OR a IS NULL))) in the case when v is nullable. The new transformation prevents applying the lookup optimization for IN subqueries. To make it still applicable we have to introduce guarded access methods.
