ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good character in some locales.
This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from
being used. Now if 0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an error.
Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This solution should
serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with ',' in their enums), but
WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/
That is, mysqldump with their current server, and restore when upgrading to one with
this patch.

The bug could cause choosing a sub-optimal execution plan for
a single-table query if a unique index with many null keys were
defined for the table.
It happened because the code of the check_quick_keys function
made an assumption that any key may occur in an unique index
only once. Yet this is not true for keys with nulls that may
have multiple occurrences in the index.
Two problems here:
Problem 1:
While constructing the join columns list the optimizer does as follows:
1. Sets the join_using_fields/natural_join members of the right JOIN
operand.
2. Makes a "table reference" (TABLE_LIST) to parent the two tables.
3. Assigns the join_using_fields/is_natural_join of the wrapper table
using join_using_fields/natural_join of the rightmost table
4. Sets join_using_fields to NULL for the right JOIN operand.
5. Passes the parent table up to the same procedure on the upper
level.
Step 1 overrides the the join_using_fields that are set for a nested
join wrapping table in step 4.
Fixed by making a designated variable SELECT_LEX::prev_join_using to
pass the data from step 1 to step 4 without destroying the wrapping
table data.
Problem 2:
The optimizer checks for ambiguous columns while transforming
NATURAL JOIN/JOIN USING to JOIN ON. While doing that there was no
distinction between columns that are used in the generated join
condition (where ambiguity can be checked) and the other columns
(where ambiguity can be checked only when resolving references
coming from outside the JOIN construct itself).
Fixed by allowing the non-USING columns to be present in multiple
copies in both sides of the join and moving the ambiguity check
to the place where unqualified references to the join columns are
resolved (find_field_in_natural_join()).
When a merge table is opened compare column and key definition of
underlying tables against column and key definition of merge table.
If any of underlying tables have different column/key definition
refuse to open merge table.
The optimizer takes away columns from GROUP BY/DISTINCT if they constitute
all the parts of an unique index.
However if some of the columns can contain NULLs this cannot be done
(because an UNIQUE index can have multiple rows with NULL values).
Fixed by not using UNIQUE indexes with nullable columns to remove
grouping columns from GROUP BY/DISTINCT.
Depending on the queries we use different data processing methods
and can lose some data in case of double (and decimal in 4.1) fields.
The fix consists of two parts:
1. double comparison changed, now double a is equal to double b
if (a-b) is less than 5*0.1^(1 + max(a->decimals, b->decimals)).
For example, if a->decimals==1, b->decimals==2, a==b if (a-b)<0.005
2. if we use a temporary table, store double values there as is
to avoid any data conversion (rounding).

Checking for NULL before calling the val_xxx()
methods only checks for such arguments that are
known to be NULLs at compile time.
The arguments that may or may not contain
NULLs (e.g. function calls and possibly others)
are not checked at all.
Fixed by first calling the val_xxx() method and
then checking for null in SEC_TO_TIME().
In addition QUARTER() was not returning 0 (as all the
val_int() functions do when processing a NULL value).
