type of the result.
There are several functions that accept parameters of different types.
The result field type of such functions was determined based on
the aggregated result type of its arguments. As the DATE and the DATETIME
types are represented by the STRING type, the result field type
of the affected functions was always STRING for DATE/DATETIME arguments.
The affected functions are COALESCE, IF, IFNULL, CASE, LEAST/GREATEST, CASE.
Now the affected functions aggregate the field types of their arguments rather
than their result types and return the result of aggregation as their result
field type.
The cached_field_type member variable is added to the number of classes to
hold the aggregated result field type.
The str_to_date() function's result field type now defaults to the
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME.
The agg_field_type() function is added. It aggregates field types with help
of the Field::field_type_merge() function.
The create_table_from_items() function now uses the
item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function to get the proper field
when the item is a function with a STRING result type.
led to creating corrupted index.
While execution of the CREATE .. SELECT SQL_BUFFER_RESULT statement the
engine->start_bulk_insert function was called twice. On the first call
On the first call MyISAM disabled all non-unique indexes and on the second
call it decides to not re-enable them because all indexes was disabled.
Due to this no indexes was actually created during CREATE TABLE thus
producing crashed table.
Now the select_inset class has is_bulk_insert_mode flag which prevents
calling the start_bulk_insert function twice.
The flag is set in the select_create::prepare, select_insert::prepare2
functions and the select_insert class constructor.
The flag is reset in the select_insert::send_eof function.
clean up SHOW GRANTS so it will show host-names with case as entered.
make REVOKE and friends case-sensitive to make things more intuitive.

Non-definer of a view was allowed to alter that view. Due to this the alterer
can elevate his access rights to access rights of the view definer and thus
modify data which he wasn't allowed to modify. A view defined with
SQL SECURITY INVOKER can't be used directly for access rights elevation.
But a user can first alter the view SQL code and then alter the view to
SQL SECURITY DEFINER and thus elevate his access rights. Due to this
altering a view with SQL SECURITY INVOKER is also prohibited.
Now the mysql_create_view function allows ALTER VIEW only to the view
definer or a super user.
added get_field_default_value() function which obtains default value from the field
(used in store_create_info() & get_schema_column_record() functions)
The parser uses ulonglong to store the LIMIT number. This number
then is stored into a variable of type ha_rows. ha_rows is either
4 or 8 byte depending on the BIG_TABLES define from config.h
So an overflow may occur (and LIMIT becomes zero) while storing an
ulonglong value in ha_rows.
Fixed by :
1. Using the maximum possible value for ha_rows on overflow
2. Defining BIG_TABLES for the windows builds (to match the others)
Multiple-result processing is required during the execution
of CALL statements for stored procedures, however the mysqlslap
client lacked that processing.
