Description
Problem 1:
I create a table and populate it with data like this:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
|
CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT NOT NULL, a VARCHAR(20)) ENGINE=MyISAM;
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'2001-01-01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'2001-01-02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'2001-01-03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,' 2001-01-04');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'2001-01-01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'2001-01-02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'2001-01-03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,' 2001-01-04');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'2001-01-01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'2001-01-02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'2001-01-03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,' 2001-01-04');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'2001-01-01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'2001-01-02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'2001-01-03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,' 2001-01-04');
|
Notice, the values with ' 2001-01-04' in the column 'a' have leading spaces
('*space*2001-01-04'), while the other values have no spaces.
Now I run this query:
SELECT id,MIN(a),MAX(a) FROM t1 WHERE a>=DATE'2001-01-04' GROUP BY id;
|
returns the following result:
+----+-------------+-------------+
|
| id | MIN(a) | MAX(a) |
|
+----+-------------+-------------+
|
| 1 | 2001-01-04 | 2001-01-04 |
|
| 2 | 2001-01-04 | 2001-01-04 |
|
| 3 | 2001-01-04 | 2001-01-04 |
|
| 4 | 2001-01-04 | 2001-01-04 |
|
+----+-------------+-------------+
|
Looks fine so far. Notice, the column is VARCHAR and comparison is done as DATE.
Now if I add an index and re-run the query:
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD KEY(id,a);
|
SELECT id,MIN(a),MAX(a) FROM t1 WHERE a>=DATE'2001-01-04' GROUP BY id;
|
it returns empty set. Looks wrong. The result set should not change when a new index is added.
Tracing the code reveals that GROUP_MIN_MAX optimization is applied after adding the index. This is wrong, because comparison is done according to DATE in this example. The index on a VARCHAR column should not be used to optimize DATE operations.
Problem 2:
I create a table with a ENUM column with values ordered in counter-alphabetic order:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
|
CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT NOT NULL, a ENUM('04','03','02','01')) ENGINE=MyISAM;
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'04');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'04');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (3,'04');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'01');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'02');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'03');
|
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4,'04');
|
SELECT id,MIN(a),MAX(a) FROM t1 WHERE a>='02' GROUP BY id;
|
The query returns:
+----+--------+--------+
|
| id | MIN(a) | MAX(a) |
|
+----+--------+--------+
|
| 1 | 02 | 04 |
|
| 2 | 02 | 04 |
|
| 3 | 02 | 04 |
|
| 4 | 02 | 04 |
|
+----+--------+--------+
|
Looks good so far.
Now I add a key and rerun the query:
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD KEY(id,a);
|
SELECT id,MIN(a),MAX(a) FROM t1 WHERE a>='02' GROUP BY id;
|
It returns empty set. This is wrong.
Explain tells that only 9 out of 16 rows are examined, and tracing reveals that GROUP_MIN_MAX optimization is erroneously enabled to optimize this.
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT id,MIN(a),MAX(a) FROM t1 WHERE a>='03' GROUP BY id;
