'SELECT DISTINCT a,b FROM t1' should not use temp table if there is unique
index (or primary key) on a.
There are a number of other similar cases that can be calculated without the
use of a temp table : multi-part unique indexes, primary keys or using GROUP BY
instead of DISTINCT.
When a GROUP BY/DISTINCT clause contains all key parts of a unique
index, then it is guaranteed that the fields of the clause will be
unique, therefore we can optimize away GROUP BY/DISTINCT altogether.
This optimization has two effects:
* there is no need to create a temporary table to compute the
GROUP/DISTINCT operation (or the temporary table will be smaller if only GROUP
is removed and DISTINCT stays or if DISTINCT is removed and GROUP BY stays)
* this causes the statement in effect to become updatable in Connector/Java
because the result set columns will be direct reference to the primary key of
the table (instead to the temporary table that it currently references).
Implemented a check that will optimize away GROUP BY/DISTINCT for queries like
the above.
Currently it will work only for single non-constant table in the FROM clause.
This was another manifestation of the problems fixed in the
patch for bug 16674.
Wrong calculation of length of the search prefix in the pattern
string led here to a wrong result set for a query in 4.1.
The bug could be demonstrated for any multi-byte character set.
Server crashed in some cases when a query required a MIN/MAX
agrregation for a 'ucs2' field.
In these cases the aggregation caused calls of the function
update_tmptable_sum_func that indirectly invoked
the method Item_sum_hybrid::min_max_update_str_field()
containing a call to strip_sp for a ucs2 character set.
The latter led directly to the crash as it used my_isspace
undefined for the ucs2 character set.
Actually the call of strip_sp is not needed at all in this
situation and has been removed by the fix.
This bug in Field_string::cmp resulted in a wrong comparison
with keys in partial indexes over multi-byte character fields.
Given field a is declared as a varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci
INDEX(a(4)) gives us an example of such an index.
Wrong key comparisons could lead to wrong result sets if
the selected query execution plan used a range scan by
a partial index over a utf8 character field.
This also caused wrong results in many other cases.

Using MAX()/MIN() on table with disabled indexes (by ALTER TABLE)
results in error 124 (wrong index) from storage engine.
The problem was that optimizer use disabled index to optimize
MAX()/MIN(). Normally it must skip disabled index and perform
table scan.
This patch skips disabled indexes for min/max optimization.

The function check_one_table_access() called to check access to tables in
SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE was doing additional checks/modifications that don't hold
in the context of setup_tables_and_check_access().
That's why the check_one_table() was split into two : the functionality needed by
setup_tables_and_check_access() into check_single_table_access() and the rest of
the functionality stays in check_one_table_access() that is made to call the new
check_single_table_access() function.
The length of the prefix of the pattern string in the LIKE predicate that
determined the index range to be scanned was calculated incorrectly for
multi-byte character sets.
As a result of this in 4. 1 the the scanned range was wider then necessary
if the prefix contained not only one-byte characters.
In 5.0 additionally it caused missing some rows from the result set.

Cleanup after fix for bug#18360 removal
Fixes bug#17264, for alter table on win32 for successfull operation completion
it is used TL_WRITE(=10) lock instead of TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ(=6), however here
in innodb handler TL_WRTIE is lifted to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE, which causes
race condition when several clients do alter table simultaneously.
