ORDER BY computed col
GROUP BY implies ORDER BY in the MySQL dialect of SQL. Therefore, when an
index on the first table in the query is used, and that index satisfies
ordering according to the GROUP BY clause, the query optimizer estimates the
number of tuples that need to be read from this index. If there is a LIMIT
clause, table statistics on tables following this 'sort table' are employed.
There may be a separate ORDER BY clause however, which mandates reading the
whole 'sort table' anyway. But the previous estimate was left untouched.
Fixed by removing the estimate from EXPLAIN output if GROUP BY is used in
conjunction with an ORDER BY clause that mandates using a temporary table.
Version "5.1.42 SUSE MySQL RPM"
When a query was using a DATE or DATETIME value formatted
using different formatting than "yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS", a
query with a greater-or-equal '>=' condition matched only
greater values in an indexed TIMESTAMP column.
The problem was introduced by the fix for the bug 46362
and partially solved (for DATE and DATETIME columns only)
by the fix for the bug 47925.
The stored_field_cmp_to_item function has been modified
to take into account TIMESTAMP columns like we do for
DATE and DATETIME columns.
The patch caused some test failures when merged to 5.5 because,
unlike 5.1, it utilizes Item_cache_row to actually cache row
values. The problem was that Item_cache_row::bring_value()
essentially did nothing. In particular, it did not update its
null_value, so all Item_cache_row objects were always having
their null_values set to TRUE. This went unnoticed previously,
but now when Arg_comparator::compare_row() actually depends on
the row's null_value to evaluate the comparison, the problem
has surfaced.
Fixed by calling the underlying item's bring_value() and
updating null_value in Item_cache_row::bring_value().
Since the problem also exists in 5.1 code (albeit hidden, since
the relevant code is not used anywhere), the addendum patch is
against 5.1.
result
Row subqueries producing no rows were not handled as UNKNOWN
values in row comparison expressions.
That was a result of the following two problems:
1. Item_singlerow_subselect did not mark the resulting row
value as NULL/UNKNOWN when no rows were produced.
2. Arg_comparator::compare_row() did not take into account that
a whole argument may be NULL rather than just individual scalar
values.
Before bug#34384 was fixed, the above problems were hidden
because an uninitialized (i.e. without any stored value) cached
object would appear as NULL for scalar values in a row subquery
returning an empty result. After the fix
Arg_comparator::compare_row() would try to evaluate
uninitialized cached objects.
Fixed by removing the aforementioned problems.
The EXISTS transformation has additional switches to catch the known corner
cases that appear when transforming an IN predicate into EXISTS. Guarded
conditions are used which are deactivated when a NULL value is seen in the
outer expression's row. When the inner query block supplies NULL values,
however, they are filtered out because no distinction is made between the
guarded conditions; guarded NOT x IS NULL conditions in the HAVING clause that
filter out NULL values cannot be de-activated in isolation from those that
match values or from the outer expression or NULL's.
The above problem is handled by making the guarded conditions remember whether
they have rejected a NULL value or not, and index access methods are taking
this into account as well.
The bug consisted of
1) Not resetting the property for every nested loop iteration on the inner
query's result.
2) Not propagating the NULL result properly from inner query to IN optimizer.
3) A hack that may or may not have been needed at some point. According to a
comment it was aimed to fix#2 by returning NULL when FALSE was actually
the result. This caused failures when #2 was properly fixed. The hack is
now removed.
The fix resolves all three points.
multi-table UPDATE IGNORE.
The problem was that if there was an active SELECT statement
during trigger execution, an error risen during the execution
may cause a crash. The fix is to temporary reset LEX::current_select
before trigger execution and restore it afterwards. This way
errors risen during the trigger execution are processed as
if there was no active SELECT.
inited==INDEX
When an error occurs while sending the data in a temporary table there was no
cleanup performed. This caused a failed assertion in the case when different
access methods were used for populating the table vs. retrieving the data from
the table if IGNORE was specified and sql_safe_updates = 0. In this case
execution continues, but the handler expects to continue with the access
method used for row retrieval.
Fixed by doing the cleanup even if errors occur.
case than in corr index".
Server was unable to find existing or explicitly created supporting
index for foreign key if corresponding statement clause used field
names in case different than one used in key specification and created
yet another supporting index.
In cases when name of constraint (and thus name of generated index)
was the same as name of existing/explicitly created index this led
to duplicate key name error.
The problem was that unlike all other code Key_part_spec::operator==()
compared field names in case sensitive fashion. As result routines
responsible for getting rid of redundant generated supporting indexes
for foreign key were not working properly for versions of field names
using different cases.

Make the my_compiler.h header, like my_attribute.h, part of
the distribution. This is required due to the dependency of
the former on the latter (which can undefine __attribute__).
"Access compatibility" syntax
The "wild" "DELETE FROM table_name.* ... USING ..." syntax
for multi-table DELETE statements is documented but it was
lost in the fix for the bug 30234.
The table_ident_opt_wild parser rule has been added
to restore the lost syntax.
