spatial index
While executing OPTIMIZE TABLE on MyISAM tables the server re-creates the
index file(s) in order to sort them physically by the key. This cannot be
done for R-tree indexes as it makes no sense.
The server was not checking the type of the index and was accessing an
R-tree index as if it was a B-tree.
Fixed by preventing sorting the index file if it contains an R-tree index.
RTree keys are really different from BTree and need specific
paramters to be set by optimizer to work.
Sometimes optimizer doesn't set those properly.
Here we decided just to add code to check that the parameters
are correct. Hope to fix optimizer sometimes.
CHECK TABLE could complain about a fully intact spatial index.
A wrong comparison operator was used for table checking.
The result was that it checked for non-matching spatial keys.
This succeeded if at least two different keys were present,
but failed if only the matching key was present.
I fixed the key comparison.
are not specified in an insert. Most of these changes are actually to
clean up the test suite to either specify defaults to avoid warnings,
or add the warnings to the results. Related to bug #5986.
