Thanks to Martin Friebe for finding and submitting a fix for this bug!
A table with maximum number of key segments and maximum length key name
would have a corrupted .frm file, due to an incorrect calculation of the
complete key length. Now the key length is computed correctly (I hope) :-)
MyISAM would reject a table with the maximum number of keys and the maximum
number of key segments in all keys. It would allow one less than this total
maximum. Now MyISAM accepts a table defined with the maximum. (This is a
very minor issue.)
CHECK TABLE against ARCHIVE table may falsely report table corruption,
or cause server crash.
Fixed by using proper buffer for CHECK TABLE.
Affects both 5.0 and 5.1.
Sometimes special 0 ENUM values was ALTERed to normal
empty string ENUM values.
Special 0 ENUM value has the same string representation
as normal ENUM value defined as '' (empty string).
The do_field_string function was used to convert
ENUM data at an ALTER TABLE request, but this
function doesn't care about numerical "indices" of
ENUM values, i.e. do_field_string doesn't distinguish
a special 0 value from an empty string value.
A new copy function called do_field_enum has been added to
copy special 0 ENUM values without conversion to an empty
string.
In the ha_partition::position we don't calculate the number of
the partition of the record. We use m_last_part_value instead relying on
that it is set in other place like previous calls of ::write_row().
In replication we do neither of these calls before ::position().
Delete_row_log_event::do_exec_row calls find_and_fetch_row() where
we used position() & rnd_pos() calls to find the record for the
PARTITION/INNODB table as it posesses InnoDB table flags.
Fixed by removing HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION flag from PARTITION
a lookup into a BINARY index by a key ended with spaces. It caused
an assertion abort for a debug version and wrong results for non-debug
versions.
The problem occurred because the function _mi_pack_key stripped off
the trailing spaces from binary search keys while the function _mi_make_key
did not do it when keys were inserted into the index.
Now the function _mi_pack_key does not remove the trailing spaces from
search keys if they are of the binary type.
fix binlog-writing so that end_log_pos is given correctly even
within transactions for both SHOW BINLOG and SHOW MASTER STATUS,
that is as absolute values (from log start) rather than relative
values (from transaction's start).

LOCK TABLES takes a list of tables to lock. It may lock several
tables successfully and then encounter a tables that it can't lock,
e.g. because it's locked. In such case it needs to undo the locks on
the already locked tables. And it does that. But it has also notified
the relevant table storage engine handlers that they should lock.
The only reliable way to ensure that the table handlers will give up
their locks is to end the transaction. This is what UNLOCK TABLE
does : it ends the transaction if there were locked tables by LOCK
tables.
It is possible to end the transaction when the lock fails in
LOCK TABLES because LOCK TABLES ends the transaction at its start
already.
Fixed by ending (again) the transaction when LOCK TABLES fails to
lock a table.
Max compressed file size was calculated incorretly causing server
crash on INSERT.
With this patch we use proper max file size provided by zlib.
Affects 5.0 only.
the loose scan optimization for grouping queries was applied returned
a wrong result set when the query was used with the SQL_BIG_RESULT
option.
The SQL_BIG_RESULT option forces to use sorting algorithm for grouping
queries instead of employing a suitable index. The current loose scan
optimization is applied only for one table queries when the suitable
index is covering. It does not make sense to use sort algorithm in this
case. However the create_sort_index function does not take into account
the possible choice of the loose scan to implement the DISTINCT operator
which makes sorting unnecessary. Moreover the current implementation of
the loose scan for queries with distinct assumes that sorting will
never happen. Thus in this case create_sort_index should not call
the function filesort.
INSERT into table from SELECT from the same table
with ORDER BY and LIMIT was inserting other data
than sole SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT returns.
One part of the patch for bug #9676 improperly pushed
LIMIT to temporary table in the presence of the ORDER BY
clause.
That part has been removed.
Problem: separator was not converted to the result character set,
so the result was a mixture of two different character sets,
which was especially bad for UCS2.
Fix: convert separator to the result character set.
ALTER VIEW is currently not supported as a prepared statement
and should be disabled as such as they otherwise could cause server crashes.
ALTER VIEW is currently not supported when called from stored
procedures or functions for related reasons and should also be disabled.
This patch disables these DDL statements and adjusts the appropriate test
cases accordingly.
Additional tests has been added to reflect on the fact that we do support
CREATE/ALTER/DROP TABLE for Prepared Statements (PS), Stored Procedures (SP)
and PS within SP.
