tables
Currently in INSERT ... SELECT ... LIMIT ... the compiler uses a
temporary table to store the results of SELECT ... LIMIT .. and then
uses that table as a source for INSERT. The problem is that in some cases
it actually skips the LIMIT clause in doing that and materializes the
whole SELECT result set regardless of the LIMIT.
This fix is limiting the process of filling up the temp table with only
that much rows that will be actually used by propagating the LIMIT value.

can lead to a wrong result.
All date/time functions has the STRING result type thus their results are
compared as strings. The string date representation allows a user to skip
some of leading zeros. This can lead to wrong comparison result if a date/time
function result is compared to such a string constant.
The idea behind this bug fix is to compare results of date/time functions
and data/time constants as ints, because that date/time representation is
more exact. To achieve this the agg_cmp_type() is changed to take in the
account that a date/time field or an date/time item should be compared
as ints.
This bug fix is partially back ported from 5.0.
The agg_cmp_type() function now accepts THD as one of parameters.
In addition, it now checks if a date/time field/function is present in the
list. If so, it tries to coerce all constants to INT to make date/time
comparison return correct result. The field for the constant coercion is
taken from the Item_field or constructed from the Item_func. In latter case
the constructed field will be freed after conversion of all constant items.
Otherwise the result is same as before - aggregated with help of the
item_cmp_type() function.
From the Item_func_between::fix_length_and_dec() function removed the part
which was converting date/time constants to int if possible. Now this is
done by the agg_cmp_type() function.
The new function result_as_longlong() is added to the Item class.
It indicates that the item is a date/time item and result of it can be
compared as int. Such items are date/time fields/functions.
Correct val_int() methods are implemented for classes Item_date_typecast,
Item_func_makedate, Item_time_typecast, Item_datetime_typecast. All these
classes are derived from Item_str_func and Item_str_func::val_int() converts
its string value to int without regard to the date/time type of these items.
Arg_comparator::set_compare_func() and Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func()
functions are changed to substitute result type of an item with the INT_RESULT
if the item is a date/time item and another item is a constant. This is done
to get a correct result of comparisons like date_time_function() = string_constant.
The bug report revealed two problems related to min/max optimization:
1. If the length of a constant key used in a SARGable condition for
for the MIN/MAX fields is greater than the length of the field an
unwanted warning on key truncation is issued;
2. If MIN/MAX optimization is applied to a partial index, like INDEX(b(4))
than can lead to returning a wrong result set.
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.
