A rule was introduced by the 5.1 part of the fix for bug 27531 to
prefer filesort over indexed ORDER BY when accessing all of the rows of a
table (because it's faster). This new rule was not accounting for the
presence of a LIMIT clause.
Fixed the condition for this rule so it will prefer filesort over
indexed ORDER BY only if no LIMIT.
when used in a VIEW.
The problem was that wrong function (create_tmp_from_item())
was used to create a temporary field for Item_func_sp.
The fix is to use create_tmp_from_field().
Problem: creating an rb-tree key we store length (2 bytes) before the actual data for
varchar key parts. The fact was missed for NULL key parts, when we set NULL byte and
skip the rest.
Fix: take into account the length of the varchar key parts for NULLs.
As the result of DOUBLE claculations can be bigger
than DBL_MAX constant we use in code, we shouldn't use this constatn
as a biggest possible value.
Particularly the rtree_pick_key function set 'min_area= DBL_MAX' relying
that any rtree_area_increase result will be less so we return valid
key. Though in rtree_area_increase function we calculate the area
of the rectangle, so the result can be 'inf' if the rectangle is
huge enough, which is bigger than DBL_MAX.
Code of the rtree_pick_key modified so we always return a valid key.
This actually, fix for the patch for bug-27354. The problem with
the patch was that Item_func_sp::used_tables() was updated, but
Item_func_sp::const_item() was not. So, for Item_func_sp, we had
the following inconsistency:
- used_tables() returned RAND_TABLE, which means that the item
can produce "random" results;
- but const_item() returned TRUE, which means that the item is
a constant one.
The fix is to change Item_func_sp::const_item() behaviour: it must
return TRUE (an item is a constant one) only if a stored function
is deterministic and each of its arguments (if any) is a constant
item.
Two cases in ha_partition::extra() was missing
(HA_EXTRA_DELETE_CANNOT_BATCH and HA_EXTRA_UPDATE_CANNOT_BATCH)
which only is currently used by NDB (which not uses ha_partition)
Bug#28878: InnoDB tables with UTF8 character set and indexes cause wrong result for DML
When making key reference buffers over CHAR fields whitespace (0x20) must be used to fill in the remaining space in the field's buffer. This is what Field_string::store() does. Fixed Field_string::get_key_image() to do the same.
were accidentally removed during a previous rototill of this
code. Fixes bug#27692.
While it can be argued we should strive to provide a 'secure by
default' installation, this happens to be the setup currently
documented in the manual as the default, so defer changes that
improve security out of the box to a co-ordinated effort later
on.
For now, make a note about the test databases and anonymous user
in mysql_install_db and recommend that mysql_secure_installation
be ran for users wishing to remove these defaults.

This is for bug #29446 "Specifying a myisam_sort_buffer > 4GB on 64 bit machines not possible". Support for myisam_sort_buffer_size > 4 GB on 64-bit Windows will be looked at later in 5.2.
