Different ASC/DESC index attributes on MERGE and underlying table can cause wrong results

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Currently MERGE and underlying MyISAM tables are allowed to have different ASC/DESC attributes on corresponding indexes. It can cause wrong results, at least for ORDER BY:

      create or replace table t (a int, key(a desc)) engine=MyISAM;
      create or replace table tm (a int, key(a)) engine=Merge union(t);
      insert into t values (1),(5),(3);
       
      # From the underlying table -- OK
      select * from t force index for order by (a) order by a;
      # From the MERGE table -- not OK
      select * from tm force index for order by (a) order by a;
       
      # Cleanup
      drop table tm, t;
