Converting BIT to a string (an intermediate step in conversion) does
not yield an ASCII numeric string, so we skip that step for BIT and
get the integer value directly from the item.
This site in sql/item_strfunc.cc may be ripe for refactoring for
other types as well, where converting to a string is a waste of time.
used.
Sorting by RAND() uses a temporary table in order to get a correct results.
User defined variable was set during filling the temporary table and later
on it is substituted for its value from the temporary table. Due to this
it contains the last value stored in the temporary table.
Now if the result_field is set for the Item_func_set_user_var object it
updates variable from the result_field value when being sent to a client.
The Item_func_set_user_var::check() now accepts a use_result_field
parameter. Depending on its value the result_field or the args[0] is used
to get current value.
when X.509 subject was required for a connect, we tested whether it was the right
one, but did not refuse the connexion if not. fixed.

Remove the code that cleared "read fields set" for merged scans. That code
was based on assumption that "We're going to just read rowids", while
actually QUICK_RANGE_SELECT code would also need key part values to check
that retrieved record(s) fall within the scanned intervals.
server to crash".
Crash caused by assertion failure happened when one ran SHOW OPEN TABLES
while concurrently doing DROP TABLE (or RENAME TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE
or any other command that takes name-lock) in other connection.
For non-debug version of server problem exposed itself as wrong output
of SHOW OPEN TABLES statement (it was missing name-locked tables).
Finally in 5.1 both debug and non-debug versions simply crashed in
this situation due to NULL-pointer dereference.
This problem was caused by the fact that table placeholders which were
added to table cache in order to obtain name-lock had TABLE_SHARE::table_name
set to 0. Therefore they broke assumption that this member is non-0 for
all tables in table cache which was checked by assert in list_open_tables()
(in 5.1 this function simply relies on it).
The fix simply sets this member for such placeholders to appropriate value
making this assumption true again.
This patch also includes test for similar bug 12212 "Crash that happens
during removing of database name from cache" reappeared in 5.1 as bug 19403.
A date can be represented as an int (like 20060101) and as a string (like
"2006.01.01"). When a DATE/TIME field is compared in one SELECT against both
representations the constant propagation mechanism leads to comparison
of DATE as a string and DATE as an int. In this example it compares 2006 and
20060101 integers. Obviously it fails comparison although they represents the
same date.
Now the Item_bool_func2::fix_length_and_dec() function sets the comparison
context for items being compared. I.e. if items compared as strings the
comparison context is STRING.
The constant propagation mechanism now doesn't mix items used in different
comparison contexts. The context check is done in the
Item_field::equal_fields_propagator() and in the change_cond_ref_to_const()
functions.
Also the better fix for bug 21159 is introduced.
The problem was that the error handling was using a too-small buffer to
print the error message generated. We fix this by not using a buffer at
all, but by using fprintf() directly. There were also some problems with
the error handling in table dumping that was exposed by this fix that were
also corrected.
