In some cases, when using views the optimizer incorrectly determined
possible join orders for queries with nested outer and inner joins.
This could lead to invalid execution plans for such queries.
in opt_range.h
In this bug, there are two alternative access plans:
* Index merge range access
* Const ref access
best_access_path() decided that the ref access was preferrable,
but make_join_select() still decided to point
SQL_SELECT::quick to the index merge because the table had
type==JT_CONST which was not handled.
At the same time the table's ref.key still referred to the
index the ref access would use indicating that ref access
should be used. In this state, different parts of the
optimizer code have different perceptions of which access path
is in use (ref or range).
test_if_skip_sort_order() was called to check if the ref access
needed ordering, but test_if_skip_sort_order() got confused and
requested the index merge to return records in sorted order.
Index merge cannot do this, and fired an ASSERT.
The fix is to take join_tab->type==JT_CONST into concideration
when make_join_select() decides whether or not to use the
range access method.
