use partial primary key if another index can prevent filesort
The fix for bug #28404 causes the covering ordering indexes to be
preferred unconditionally over non-covering and ref indexes.
Fixed by comparing the cost of using a covering index to the cost of
using a ref index even for covering ordering indexes.
Added an assertion to clarify the condition the local variables should
be in.
HAVING
When calculating GROUP BY the server caches some expressions. It does
that by allocating a string slot (Item_copy_string) and assigning the
value of the expression to it. This effectively means that the result
type of the expression can be changed from whatever it was to a string.
As this substitution takes place after the compile-time result type
calculation for IN but before the run-time type calculations,
it causes the type calculations in the IN function done at run time
to get unexpected results different from what was prepared at compile time.
In the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN ... statement there was a similar problem
and it was solved by artificially adding a STRING argument to the set of
types of the IN/CASE arguments at compile time, so if any of the
arguments of the CASE function changes its type to a string it will
still be covered by the information prepared at compile time.
SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select
The crash was caused by an incomplete cleanup of JOIN_TAB::select
during the filesort of rows for GROUP BY clause inside a subquery.
Queries where a quick index access is replaced with filesort was
was affected. For example:
SELECT 1 FROM
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT c1) FROM t1
WHERE c2 IN (1, 1) AND c3 = 2 GROUP BY c2) x
Quick index access related data in the SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select
function was inconsistent after an incomplete cleanup.
This function has been completed to prevent crashes in the
SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select function.

The problem was that when comparing tables for a possible
fast alter table, the comparison was being performed using
the parsed information and not the final definition.
The solution is to use the possible final table layout to
compare if a fast alter is possible or not.
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.
