Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products. Looks like the default changed from OFF in 5.0 to ON in 5.1+ and this change was not propagated throughout newer manuals.
Description: The documentation is unclear/wrong about what the default value for the engine-condition-pushdown variable is. The correct default value is: ON (in mysql-5.5). This is mentioned the following places in the documentation: ================================================================== 5.1.4 Server System Variables In the section for "engine_condition_pushdown" it says: a. The default value: Default: ON (correct) b. The sentence: "By default, this variable is OFF (0). Setting it to ON (1) enables pushdown" which is wrong. Suggest changing this to: "By default, this variable is ON (1). Setting it to OFF (0) disables pushdown" ================================================================== * 7.13.3. Condition Pushdown Optimization In this section we say: "Condition pushdown is disabled by default" we should say: "Condition pushdown is enabled by default" or even better: "Engine condition pushdown is enabled by default" ================================================================== I also suggest that the following sentences in section 7.8.4.2 "Controlling Switchable Optimizations" being updated: * "The flag for ... condition pushdown was added in MySQL 5.5.3. " ==> suggestion: add the word "engine" * "For information about ... condition pushdown" ==> suggestion: add the word "engine" How to repeat: See description.
