BUG#13519696 - 62940: SELECT RESULTS VARY WITH VERSION AND
WITH/WITHOUT INDEX RANGE SCAN
BUG#13453382 - REGRESSION SINCE 5.1.39, RANGE OPTIMIZER WRONG
RESULTS WITH DECIMAL CONVERSION
BUG#13463488 - 63437: CHAR & BETWEEN WITH INDEX RETURNS WRONG
RESULT AFTER MYSQL 5.1.
Those are all cases where the range optimizer got it wrong
with > and >=.
mysql-test/r/range.result:
Without the code fix for DECIMAL, "select count(val) from t2 where val > 0.1155"
(which uses a range scan) returned 127 instead of 128);
Moreover, both
select * from t1 force index (primary) where a=1 and c>= 2.9;
and
select * from t1 force index (primary) where a=1 and c> 2.9;
would miss "1 1 3".
Without the code fix for strings, both
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE F1 >= 'A ';
and
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE F1 BETWEEN 'A ' AND 'AAAAA';
would miss "A A A".
sql/item.cc:
Preamble to the explanations below: opt_range.cc:get_mm_leaf() does
this (this is not changed by the patch): changes
column > value
to
column OP V
where:
* V is what is in "column" after we stored "value" in it
(such store operation may have done rounding...)
* OP is > or >=, depending on what's correct.
For example, if c is an INT column,
c > 2.9 is changed to
c OP 3
where OP is >= ('>' would not be correct).
The bugs below are cases where we chose OP wrongly.
Note that such transformations are visible in the optimizer trace.
1) Fix for STRING. In the scenario with CHAR(5) in range.test, this happens,
in get_mm_tree(), for the condition F1>='A ':
* value->save_in_field_no_warnings(field, 1) wants to store the right argument
(named 'item') into the CHAR(5) field; this stores 'A ' (the item's value)
padded with spaces (which changes nothing: still 'A ')
* we come to
case Item_func::GE_FUNC:
/* Don't use open ranges for partial key_segments */
if ((!(key_part->flag & HA_PART_KEY_SEG)) &&
(stored_field_cmp_to_item(param->thd, field, value) < 0))
tree->min_flag= NEAR_MIN;
tree->max_flag=NO_MAX_RANGE;
What this wants to do is: if the field's value is strictly smaller
than the item's, then ">=" can be changed to ">" (this is an optimization,
it can help pruning one useless partition).
* stored_field_cmp_to_item() is called; it compares the field's
and item's values: the item's value (Item_string::val_str()) is
'A ') and the field's value (Field_string::val_str()) is
'A' (yes val_str() removes end spaces unless sql_mode='PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH');
and the comparison is done with stringcmp() which considers
end spaces as relevant; as end spaces differ, function returns a
negative number, and ">='A '" becomes ">'A'" (i.e. the NEAR_MIN
flag is turned on).
During execution the index range scan code will search for "A", find
a match, but exclude it (because of ">"), wrongly.
The badness is the string comparison done by stored_field_cmp_to_item():
we use the reply of this function to determine where the index search
should start, so it should do comparison like index search does
comparisons; index search comparisons are ha_key_cmp() which uses
a collation-aware comparison (in our case, my_strnncollsp_simple(),
which ignores end spaces); so stored_field_cmp_to_item()
needs to do the same. When this is fixed, condition becomes
">='A '".
2) Fix for DECIMAL: just like in other comparisons in stored_field_cmp_to_item(),
we must first pass the field and then the item; otherwise expectations
on what <0 and >0 mean (inferiority, superiority) get violated.
In the test in range.test about c>2.9: c is an INT column, so 2.9
gets stored as 3, then stored_field_cmp_to_item() compares 3
and 2.9; because of the wrong order of arguments passed
to my_decimal_cmp(), range optimizer
thinks that 3 is < 2.9 and thus changes "c> 2.9" to "c> 3".
After fixing the order, it changes to the correct "c>= 3".
In the test in range.inc for val > 0.1155, it was changed to
val > 0.116, now it is changed to val >= 0.116.

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it. Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not conflict with it. All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the problem: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode, the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run. For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests with an external server: mysql-test-run --extern alias analyze To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and other relevant options. With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some tests cannot run with an external server. You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test extension. For example: xemacs t/test_case_name.test In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables, load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it. We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not conflict too much with existing tables). Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your test case, you should create the result file as follows: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail to bugs@lists.mysql.com
