and auto_increment keys
Problems:
1. ALTER TABLE ... ORDER BY... doesn't make sence if there's a
user-defined clustered index in the table.
2. using a secondary index is slower than using a clustered one
for a table scan.
Fixes:
1. raise a warning.
2. use the clustered index.
rebuild the table.
The problem was that ROW_FORMAT clause in ALTER TABLE did not trigger
table reconstruction.
The fix is to rebuild a table if ROW_FORMAT is specified.
Locked rows of the InnoDB storage was silently skipped in the read-committed
isolation level.
QUICK_RANGE_SELECT for unique ranges lacks second (blocking) read
of the record that was read semi-consistently and just skip it.
The handler::read_multi_range_next method has been modified
to retry previous unique range if the previous read was
semi-consistent.
MySQL provides what appears to be a non standard extension to the
FOREIGN KEY syntax which let users name (label/tag) a foreign key
to more easily identify a specific foreign key if any problems show
up later during the query parsing or execution. But the foreign key
name was not being properly set to the right key, possible leaving
the foreign key with no name.
The optimization that uses a unique index to remove GROUP BY did not
ensure that the index was actually used, thus violating the ORDER BY
that is implied by GROUP BY.
Fixed by replacing GROUP BY with ORDER BY if the GROUP BY clause contains
a unique index over non-nullable field(s). In case GROUP BY ... ORDER BY
null is used, GROUP BY is simply removed.

- re-enabled innodb_mysql test;
- added a rule to through away expected warning to mtr_report.pl;
- fixed a test case to produce unique warning.
When a table is being updated it has two set of fields - fields required for
checks of conditions and fields to be updated. A storage engine is allowed
not to retrieve columns marked for update. Due to this fact records can't
be compared to see whether the data has been changed or not. This makes the
server always update records independently of data change.
Now when an auto-updatable timestamp field is present and server sees that
a table handle isn't going to retrieve write-only fields then all of such
fields are marked as to be read to force the handler to retrieve them.
The patch for WL 1563 added a new duplicate key error message so that the
key name could be provided instead of the key number. But the error code
for the new message was used even though that did not need to change.
This could cause unnecessary problems for applications that used the old
ER_DUP_ENTRY error code to detect duplicate key errors.
and invalidation in the most general case (non-temporary table and
not simple RENAME or ENABLE/DISABLE KEYS or partitioning command).

These changes are prerequisite for 5.1 version of fix for bug #23667
"CREATE TABLE LIKE is not isolated from alteration by other connections"
TABLES" and failures of alter_table.test on Windows which occured after
pushing fix for bugs #20662, #20903, #24508, #24738 (various problems
with CREATE TABLE SELECT).
ALTER TABLE statements which were handled using "fast" alter table
optimization were not properly working under LOCK TABLES if table
was transactional (for all table types under Windows).
Code implementing "fast" version of ALTER TABLE tried to open and
lock table using open_ltable() after renaming .FRM files (which
corresponds to renaming tables in normal case) in some cases
(for transactional tables or on Windows). This caused problems
under LOCK TABLES and conflicted with name-lock taken by
ALTER TABLE RENAME on target tables.
This patch solves this issue by using reopen_name_locked_table()
instead of open_ltable().
