RENAME TABLE against a table with DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY overwrites
the file to which the symlink points.
This is security issue, because it is possible to create a table with
some name in some non-system database and set DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY
to mysql system database. Renaming this table to one of mysql system
tables (e.g. user, host) would overwrite the system table.
Return an error when the file to which the symlink points exist.

It's not InnoDB specific bug.
Error is in QUEUE code, about the way we handle queue->max_at_top.
It's either '0' or '-2' and we do '^' operation to get the proper
direction. Though queue->compare() function can return '-2' as
a result of comparison sometimes. So we'll get
queue->compare() ^ queue->max_at_top == 0 (when max_at_top is -2)
and _downheap() function code will go wrong way here:
...
if (next_index < elements &&
(queue->compare(queue->first_cmp_arg,
queue->root[next_index]+offset_to_key,
queue->root[next_index+1]+offset_to_key) ^
queue->max_at_top) > 0)
next_index++;
...
Fixed by changing max_at_top to be either 1 or -1, doing
'* max_at_top' to get proper direction.
storage engine system variables was not validated and
unexpected value was assigned.
The check_func_enum function used subtraction from the uint
value with the probably negative result. That result of
type uint was compared with 0 after casting to signed long
type. On architectures where long type is longer than int
type the result of comparison was unexpected.
command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.
The columns in HAVING can reference the GROUP BY and
SELECT columns. There can be "table" prefixes when
referencing these columns. And these "table" prefixes
in HAVING use the table alias if available.
This means that table aliases are subject to the same
storage rules as table names and are dependent on
lower_case_table_names in the same way as the table
names are.
Fixed by :
1. Treating table aliases as table names
and make them lowercase when printing out the SQL
statement for view persistence.
2. Using case insensitive comparison for table
aliases when requested by lower_case_table_names
if running as root
Every start of a server in the test suite raised that warning.
The cause was an unconditionla add of the --user option to the
server command line. Only the "root" user (effective user id == 0)
must use that option.
Added check for effective user id == 0 before adding --user.
Thanks to Magnus Svensson for the patch.
