If a query with implicit grouping contains in MIN/MAX set function in the
select list over a column that is a part of an index then the query
might be subject to MIN/MAX optimization. With this optimization the
server performs a look-up into an index, fetches a value of the column C
used in the MIN/MAX function and substitute the MIN/MAX expression for this
value. This allows to eliminate the table containing C from further join
processing. In order the optimization to be applied the WHERE condition
must be a conjunction of simple equality/inequality predicates or/and
BETWEEN predicates.
The bug fixed in the patch resulted in fetching a wrong value from the
index used for MIN/MAX optimization. It may happened when a BETWEEN
predicate containing the MIN/MAX value followed a strict inequality.
