when it should use index Sometimes the LEFT/RIGHT JOIN with an empty table caused an unnecessary filesort. Sample query, where t1.i1 is indexed and t3 is empty: SELECT t1.*, t2.* FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.i1 = t2.i2 LEFT JOIN t3 ON t2.i2 = t3.i3 ORDER BY t1.i1 LIMIT 5; The server erroneously used an item of empty outer-joined table as a common constant of a Item_equal (multi-equivalence expression). By the fix for the bug 16590 the constant status of such an item has been propagated to st_table::const_key_parts map bits related to other Item_equal argument-related key parts (those are obviously not constant in our case). As far as test_if_skip_sort_order function skips constant prefixes of testing keys, this caused an ignorance of available indices, since some prefixes were marked as constant by mistake.
