Description: Using range partitioning with a case statement as the partition function puts records in the wrong partition. i.e If you have partitions a,b, and c and try to insert a record that should go into c it goes into b instead. How to repeat: CREATE TABLE partition_test ( a varchar(1) default NULL ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 PARTITION BY RANGE(CASE a WHEN 'a' THEN 1 WHEN 'b' THEN 2 WHEN 'c' THEN 3 END) ( PARTITION a VALUES LESS THAN (2), PARTITION b VALUES LESS THAN (3), PARTITION c VALUES LESS THAN (4) ); Then INSERT INTO partition_test(a) values ('c'); record will go into partition b (partition_test_b.MYD file) instead of the expected partition c. Suggested fix: Fix so partitioning works as expected.
