Analysis: The reason for the wrong result is the interaction between constant optimization (in this case 1-row table) and subquery optimization. - First the outer query is optimized, and 'make_join_statistics' finds that table t2 has one row, reads that row, and marks the whole table as constant. This also means that all fields of t2 are constant. - Next, we optimize the subquery in the end of the outer 'make_join_statistics'. The field 'f2' is considered constant, with value '3'. The subquery predicate is rewritten as the constant TRUE. - The outer query execution detects early that the whole query result is empty and calls 'return_zero_rows'. Since the query is with implicit grouping, we have to produce one row with special values for the aggregates (depending on each aggregate function), and NULL values for all non-aggregate fields. This function calls 'no_rows_in_result' to set each aggregate function to the default value when it aggregates over an empty result, and then calls 'send_data', which in turn evaluates each Item in the SELECT list. - When evaluation reaches the subquery predicate, it executes the subquery with field 'f2' having a constant value '3', and the subquery produces the incorrect result '7'. Solution: Implement Item::no_rows_in_result for all subquery predicates. In order to make this work, it is also needed to make all val_* methods of all subquery predicates respect the Item_subselect::forced_const flag. Otherwise subqueries are executed anyways, and override the default value set by no_rows_in_result with whatever result is produced from the subquery evaluation.
