Bug #42760: Select doesn't return desired results when we have null

 values
 
 We should re-set the access method functions when changing the access
 method when switching to another index to avoid sorting.
 
 Fixed by doing a little re-engineering : encapsulating all the function
 assignment into a special function and calling it when flipping the 
 indexes.
