The problem was in that opt_sum_query() replaced MIN/MAX functions
with the corresponding constant found in a key, but due to imprecise
representation of float numbers, when evaluating the where clause,
this comparison failed.
When MIN/MAX optimization detects that all tables can be removed,
also remove all conjuncts in a where clause that refer to these
tables. As a result of this fix, these conditions are not evaluated
twice, and in the case of float number comparisons we do not discard
result rows due to imprecise float representation.
As a side-effect this fix also corrects an unnoticed problem in
bug 12882.
The problem was that when converting a string to an exact number,
rounding didn't work, because conversion didn't understand
approximate numbers notation.
Fix: a new function for string-to-number conversion was implemented,
which is aware of approxinate number notation (with decimal point
and exponent, e.g. -19.55e-1)
When an alias is set to a column leading spaces are removed from the alias.
But when this is done on aliases set by user this can lead to confusion.
Now Item::set_name() method issues the warning if leading spaces were removed
from an alias set by user.
New warning message is added.
Adding decimal "digits" in multiplication resulted in signed overflow and
producing wrong results.
Fixed by using large enough buffers and intermediary result types :
dec2 (currently longlong) to hold result of adding decimal "digits"
(currently int32).
Added test case for bug#18759 Incorrect string to numeric conversion.

Cleanup after fix for bug#18360 removal
The Field::eq() considered instances of Field_bit that differ only in
bit_ptr/bit_ofs equal. This caused equality conditions optimization
(build_equal_items_for_cond()) to make bad field substitutions that result
in wrong predicates.
Field_bit requires an overloaded eq() function that checks the bit_ptr/bit_ofs
in addition to Field::eq().
3.23 regression test failure
The member SEL_ARG::min_flag was not initialized,
due to which the condition for no GEOM_FLAG in function
key_or did not choose "Range checked for each record" as
the correct access method.
a worse execution plan than in 4.1 for some queries.
It happened due the fact that at some conditions the
optimizer always preferred range or full index scan access
methods to lookup access methods even when the latter were much
cheaper.
The problem was not observed in 4.1 for the reported query
because the WHERE condition was not of a form that could
cause the problem.
Equality propagation introduced on 5.0 added an extra
predicate and changed the WHERE condition. The new condition
provoked the optimizer to make a bad choice.
The problem was fixed by the patch for bug 17379.
Re-work best_access_path() and find_best() to reuse E(#rows(range access)) as
E(#rows(ref[_or_null](const) access) only when it is appropriate.
[This is the final cumulative patch]
Multiple equalities were not adjusted after reading constant tables.
It resulted in neglecting good index based methods that could be
used to access of other tables.
Absence of table in left part of LEFT/RIGHT join wasn't checked before
name resolution which resulted in NULL dereferencing and server crash.
Modified rules:
"table_ref LEFT opt_outer JOIN_SYM table_ref" and "table_ref RIGHT opt_outer
JOIN_SYM table_ref"
NULL check is moved before push_new_name_resolution_context()
functions are involved.
When subselect is a join with set functions and no record have been found in
it, end_send_group() sets null_row for all tables in order aggregate functions
to calculate their values correctly. Normally this null_row flag is cleared for
each table in sub_select(), but flush_cached_records() doesn't do so.
Due to this all fields from the table processed by flush_cached_records() are
always evaluated as nulls and whole select produces wrong result.
flush_cached_records() now clears null_row flag at the very beginning.
select result
Item equal objects are employed only at the optimize phase. Usually they are not
supposed to be evaluated. Yet in some cases we call the method val_int() for
them. Here we have to take care of restricting the predicate such an object
represents f1=f2= ...=fn to the projection of known fields fi1=...=fik.
Added a check for field's table being const in Item_equal::val_int().
If the field's table is not const val_int() just skips that field when
evaluating Item_equal.
cmp_item_sort_string::cmp() wasn't checking values_res variable for null.
Later called function was dereferenced it and crashed server.
Added null check to cmp_item_sort_string::cmp().
crash
resolve_const_item() substitutes item which will evaluate to constant with
equvalent constant item, basing on the item's result type. In this case
subselect was resolved as constant, and resolve_const_item() was substituting
it's result's Item_caches to Item_null. Later Item_cache's function was called
for Item_null object, which caused server crash.
resolve_const_item() now substitutes constants for items with
result_type == ROW_RESULT only for Item_rows.
the same column as an aliased and as a non-aliased column.
The problem was that Item_direct_view_ref::eq() was first comparing view columns
by name, and in this case the name of one of them is different since it is aliased.
Invalid date like 2000-02-32 wasn't converted to int, which lead to not
using index and comparison with field as astring, which results in slow
query execution.
convert_constatn_item() and get_mm_leaf() now forces MODE_INVALID_DATES to
allow such conversion.
