Decimals with float, double and decimal now works the following way:
- DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED is used when declaring DECIMALS without a firm number
of decimals. It's only used in asserts and my_decimal_int_part.
- FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS (31) is used to mark that a FLOAT or DOUBLE
was defined without decimals. This is regarded as a floating point value.
- Max decimals allowed for FLOAT and DOUBLE is FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS-1
- Clients assumes that float and double with decimals >= NOT_FIXED_DEC are
floating point values (no decimals)
- In the .frm decimals=FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS are used to define
floating point for float and double (31, like before)
To ensure compatibility with old clients we do:
- When storing float and double, we change NOT_FIXED_DEC to
FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS.
- When creating fields from .frm we change for float and double
FLOATING_POINT_DEC to NOT_FIXED_DEC
- When sending definition for a float/decimal field without decimals
to the client as part of a result set we convert NOT_FIXED_DEC to
FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS.
- variance() and std() has changed to limit the decimals to
FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS -1 to not get the double converted floating point.
(This was to preserve compatiblity)
- FLOAT and DOUBLE still have 30 as max number of decimals.
Bugs fixed:
variance() printed more decimals than we support for double values.
New behaviour:
- Strings now have 38 decimals instead of 30 when converted to decimal
- CREATE ... SELECT with a decimal with > 30 decimals will create a column
with a smaller range than before as we are trying to preserve the number of
decimals.
Other changes
- We are now using the obsolete bit FIELDFLAG_LEFT_FULLSCREEN to specify
decimals > 31
- NOT_FIXED_DEC is now declared in one place
- For clients, NOT_FIXED_DEC is always 31 (to ensure compatibility).
On the server NOT_FIXED_DEC is DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED (39)
- AUTO_SEC_PART_DIGITS is taken from DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED
- DOUBLE conversion functions are now using DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of
NOT_FIXED_DEC
length/dec/charset are still in LEX, because they're also used
for CAST and dynamic columns.

1. fix "MDEV-7041 COLLATION(CAST('a' AS CHAR BINARY)) returns a wrong result"
2. allow BINARY modifier in stored function RETURN clause
3. allow "COLLATION without CHARSET" in SP/SF (parameters, RETURN, DECLARE)
4. print correct variable name in error messages for stored routine parameters

is inconsistent
+ several improvements
Details:
- The subtest with assignment of floating point numbers to
DECIMAL parameters in functions and procedures checks
now that the final DECIMAL value is the same as if we assign
the floating point numbers to columns, user variables etc.
= The impact of math libs or truncation must be the same.
- Remove storage engine variants of this test because the
stored procedure properties tested do not depend on
the storage engine.
Use the fastest storage engine (MEMORY) for any tables
needed.
- reset global sort_buffer_size to startup value
- Partially improved formatting.
