Bug #13046	LIKE pattern matching using prefix index doesn't return correct result(2)

Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Optimizer	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1.15-bk Sep 7 / 5.0.13-bk Sep 6	OS:	Windows (Windows XP / SuSE Linux)
Assigned to:	Alexander Barkov	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
If the special characters like '_' , '%' are included within the prefix of the index, LIKE pattern matching doesn't return the correct result. If these characters are not included with in the prefix of the index, the result is fine.

This happens on both 4.1.14, 5.0.13, both MyISAM, InnoDB. Not like the bug#11650, character set doesn't matter.

How to repeat:
mysql> create table t1(c1 varchar(50) not null, index(c1(3)));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('abcdef');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('_bcdef');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('a_cdef');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('ab_def');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('abc_ef');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('abcd_f');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)

mysql> insert into t1 values('abcde_');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> select * from t1 where c1 like 'ab\_def';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
/* Should return 'ab_def' */

mysql> select * from t1 where c1 like 'ab#_def' escape '#';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
/* Should return 'ab_def' */

mysql> select * from t1 where c1 like 'abc\_ef';
+--------+
| c1     |
+--------+
| abc_ef |
+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
/* If the character '_' is not in the first three letters, the result is fine */

mysql> select * from t1 where c1 like 'abc#_ef' escape '#';
+--------+
| c1     |
+--------+
| abc_ef |
+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
/* If the character '_' is not in the first three letters, the result is fine */
