MySQL 5.6 的排序进行了优化.  同样的sql , 在5.5 跟5.6 上可能得到不同的结果:


CREATE TABLE `TestCase2` (
  `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `aValue` decimal(19,2) NOT NULL,
  `accuracyClassType_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  `productType_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `FKF58064BD791396` (`productType_id`),
  KEY `FKF58064BDED5076` (`accuracyClassType_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=17 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `TestCase2` (`id`, `aValue`, `accuracyClassType_id`, `productType_id`)
VALUES
(1,2.00,3,2),
(2,3.00,3,2),
(3,4.00,2,3),
(4,5.00,2,3),
(5,6.00,2,3),
(6,8.00,2,3),
(7,10.00,2,3),
(8,12.00,2,3),
(9,16.00,2,3),
(10,20.00,2,3),
(11,6.00,2,4),
(12,8.00,2,4),
(13,10.00,2,4),
(14,12.00,2,4),
(15,5.00,2,2),
(16,6.00,2,2);
select * from Testcase2 order by aValue desc;
# as you can see mysql has added a fallback sorting because aValue is not unique, which is ok 
# the first four id's of the results are: 10, 9, 14, 8 

select * from Testcase2 order by aValue desc limit 4;
# as expected the result id's (based on the order by) are : 10, 9, 14, 8 

select * from Testcase2 order by aValue desc limit 3;
# which surprisingly results in the following id's based on the order by: 10, 9, 8 ???????
# expecting id's: 10, 9, 14 (see query with limit 4)[19 Mar 2014 13:34] Miguel SolorzanoThank you for the bug report.

mysql 5.5 跟 5.6 两个版本对排序的实现: 
Mysql 5.5 willl 
- allocate buffer space for 1000 rows 
- scan the table, inserting each row into the buffer 
- sort the buffer, this requires about 10.000 comparisons 
- return the first 3 (or 4) rowsMysql
5.6 will 
- allocate buffer space for 3 (or 4) rows 
- scan the table, maintaining a collection of 3 (or 4) "winners"   this requires about 2000 comparisons 
- sort final set of "winners", this requires about 6 comparisons 
- return the result

sql 标准里对于重复值的排序字段, 应该出哪行记录是没有定义的,  这就完全取决于代码的实现了. 




我们的升级测试,可能会涉及到 5.5 与5.6 的结果对比,  这里可能会引起疑问. 


这是正常的. 如果确实需要严格的排序,实现5.6 跟5.5 同样的显示结果. 


需要修改sql 语句, 在排序子句中加上  一个唯一字段.
