ORDER BY COUNT(*) LIMIT. PROBLEM: With respect to problem in the bug description, we exhibit different behaviors for the two tables presented, because innodb statistics (rec_per_key in this case) are updated for the first table and not so for the second one. As a result the query plan gets changed in test_if_skip_sort_order to use 'index' scan. Hence the difference in the explain output. (NOTE: We can reproduce the problem with first table by reducing the number of tuples and changing the table structure) The varied output w.r.t the query on the second table is because of the result in the query plan change. When a query plan is changed to use 'index' scan, after the call to test_if_skip_sort_order, we set keyread to TRUE immedietly. If for some reason we drop this index scan for a filesort later on, we fetch only the keys not the entire tuple. As a result we would see junk values in the result set. Following is the code flow: Call test_if_skip_sort_order -Choose an index to give sorted output -If this is a covering index, set_keyread to TRUE -Set the scan to INDEX scan Call test_if_skip_sort_order second time -Index is not chosen (note that we do not pass the actual limit value second time. Hence we do not choose index scan second time which in itself is a bug fixed in 5.6 with WL#5558) -goto filesort Call filesort -Create quick range on a different index -Since keyread is set to TRUE, we fetch only the columns of the index -results in the required columns are not fetched FIX: Remove the call to set_keyread(TRUE) from test_if_skip_sort_order. The access function which is 'join_read_first' or 'join_read_last' calls set_keyread anyways.
