If a select query contained an ORDER BY clause that followed a LIMIT clause
or an ORDER BY clause or ORDER BY with LIMIT the EXPLAIN output for the
query showed an execution plan different from that was actually executed.

The issue here was the system variable max_sort_length was being applied
to decimals and it was truncating the value for decimals to the number
of bytes set by max_sort_length.
This was leading to a buffer overflow as the values were written
to the buffer without truncation and then we moved the offset to
the number of bytes(set by max_sort_length), that are needed for comparison.
The fix is to not apply max_sort_length for fixed size types like INT,
DECIMALS and only apply max_sort_length for CHAR, VARCHARS, TEXT and
BLOBS.
The issue here was that the query was using ORDER BY LIMIT optimzation where
the access method was changed from EQ_REF access to an index scan (index that would
resolve the ORDER BY clause).
But the parameter READ_RECORD::unlock_row was not reset to rr_unlock_row, which is
used when the access method is not EQ_REF access.
Make sure that the sort_buffer that is allocated has atleast space for MERGEBUFF2 keys.
The issue here was that the record length is quite high and sort buffer size is very small,
due to which we end up with zero number of keys in the sort buffer. The Sort_param::max_keys_per_buffer
was zero in such a case, due to which we were flushing empty sort_buffer to the disk.
For DECIMAL[(M[,D])] datatype max_sort_length was not being honoured which was leading to buffer
overflow while making the sort key. The fix to this problem would be to create sort keys for decimals
with atmost max_sort_key bytes
Important:
The minimum value of max_sort_length has been raised to 8 (previously was 4),
so fixed size datatypes like DOUBLE and BIGINIT are not truncated for
lower values of max_sort_length.
Make sure that the sort buffers can store atleast one sort key.
This is needed to make sure that all merge buffers are read else
with no sort keys some merge buffers are skipped because the code
makes a conclusion there is no data to be read.
with GROUP BY + ORDER BY
The method JOIN::create_postjoin_aggr_table() should not call
call JOIN::add_sorting_to_table() unless the first non-constant join
table is passed as the first parameter to the method.
with joins, SQ, ORDER BY, semijoin=on
A bug in get_sort_by_table() could mislead the function
setup_semijoin_dups_elimination(). As a result the optimizer
could produce invalid execution plans for queries with ORDER BY
and subquery predicates that could be converted to semi-joins.
This patch effectively blocks the optimization that uses multiple
equalities for ORDER BY to remove tmp table in the case when
the first table happens to be the result of materialization of
a semi-join nest. Currently there is no code at the execution level
that would support the optimization in this case.
The fix for bug mdev-5104 did not take into account that
for any call of setup_order the size of ref_array must
be big enough. This patch fixes this problem.
The crash was caused by this problem:
get_best_group_min_max() tries to construct query plans for keys that
are not processed by the range optimizer. This wasn't a problem as long
as SEL_TREE::keys was an array of MAX_KEY elements.
However, now it is a Mem_root_array and only has elements for the used
keys, and get_best_group_min_max attempts to address beyond the end of
the array.
The obvious way to fix the crash was to port (and improve) a part of
96fcfcbd7b5120e8f64fd45985001eca8d36fbfb from mysql-5.7. This makes
get_best_group_min_max not to consider indexes that Mem_root_arrays
have no element for.
After that, I got non-sensical query plans (see MDEV-10325 for details).
Fixed that by making get_best_group_min_max to check if the index is in
table->keys_in_use_for_group_by bitmap.
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function
Post-fix #2:
- Update test results
- Make the optimization conditional under @@optimizer_switch flag.
- The optimization is now disabled by default, so .result files
are changed back to be what they were before the MDEV-8989 patch.
Variant #4 of the fix.
Make ORDER BY optimization functions take into account multiple
equalities. This is done in several places:
- remove_const() checks whether we can sort the first table in the
join, or we need to put rows into temp.table and then sort.
- test_if_order_by_key() checks whether there are indexes that
can be used to produce the required ordering
- make_unireg_sortorder() constructs sort criteria for filesort.
In original code, sometimes one got an automatic DEFAULT value in some cases, in other cases not.
For example:
create table t1 (a int primary key) - No default
create table t2 (a int, primary key(a)) - DEFAULT 0
create table t1 SELECT .... - Default for all fields, even if they where defined as NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE ... MODIFY could sometimes add an unexpected DEFAULT value.
The patch is quite big because we had some many test cases that used
CREATE ... SELECT or CREATE ... (...PRIMARY KEY(xxx)) which doesn't have an automatic DEFAULT anymore.
Other things:
- Removed warnings from InnoDB when waiting from semaphore (got this when testing things with --big)
The problem was caused by the following scenario:
- range optimizer picks an index IDX1 which doesn't match the ORDER BY ...
LIMIT clause.
- test_if_skip_sort_order() decides to switch to index IDX2 which matches
the ORDER BY ... LIMIT.
- it runs SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select() for the second time to produce
an quick select for IDX2.
- However, test_quick_select() would figure that full index scan on IDX1
is still cheaper (its calculations ignore the LIMIT n).
Fixed this by
- passing force_quick_range=true to test_quick_select()
- in test_quick_select, don't consider full index scans if the mentioned
parameter is true.
Numerous changes in .result files are caused by test_quick_select() being
run after "early/late NULLs filtering" feature has injected NOT NULL
condition.
- When a JOIN has both "optimization tabs" (JOIN_TABs used to
read the base tables and do the join operation) and also
has "execution tabs" (a JOIN_TAB that is to produce result set
that is sent to the client), do not forget to call JOIN_TAB::cleanup()
for the execution JOIN_TAB.
This only happend when using an ORDER BY on a primary key part, where all other key parts where constant.
Remove of duplicated expressions in ORDER BY (as the old code did this in some strange cases)

Backport the fix olav.sandstaa@sun.com-20101102184747-qfuntqwj021imy9r:
"Fix for Bug#52660 Perf. regr. using ICP for MyISAM on range queries on an index containing TEXT"
(together with further fixes in that code) into MyISAM and Aria.
The bug could caused a crash when the server executed a query with
ORDER by and sort_buffer_size was set to a small enough number.
It happened because the small sort buffer did not allow to allocate
all merge buffers in it.
Made sure that the allocated sort buffer would be big enough
to contain all possible merge buffers.
