Generalized support for auto-updated and/or auto-initialized timestamp and datetime columns. This patch is a reimplementation of MySQL's "WL#5874: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as DEFAULT for DATETIME columns". In order to ease future merges, this implementation reused few function and variable names from MySQL's patch, however the implementation is quite different. TODO: The only unresolved problem in this patch is the semantics of LOAD DATA for TIMESTAMP and DATETIME columns in the cases when there are missing or NULL columns. I couldn't fully comprehend the logic behind MySQL's behavior and its relationship with their own documentation, so I left the results to be more consistent with all other LOAD cases. The problematic test cases can be seen by running the test file function_defaults, and observing the test case differences. Those were left on purpose for discussion.

=========================
1. The testsuite "funcs_1" is mostly intended for additional (compared
to the common regression tests stored in mysql-test/t) checks
of features (VIEWS, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, STORED PROCEDURES,...)
introduced with MySQL 5.0.
2. There were some extensions of this suite when new information_schema
views were introduced. But in most cases the tests for these views
were stored within the regression testsuite (mysql-test/t).
INFORMATION_SCHEMA views introduced with MySQL 5.1
==================================================
ENGINES (partially tested here)
EVENTS (partially tested here)
FILES
GLOBAL_STATUS
GLOBAL_VARIABLES
PARTITIONS
PLUGINS
PROCESSLIST (full tested here)
PROFILING
REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS
SESSION_STATUS
SESSION_VARIABLES
3. Some hints for maintainers of this suite:
- SHOW TABLES ... LIKE '<pattern>'
does a case sensitive comparison between the tablename and
the pattern.
The names of the tables within the informationschema are in uppercase.
So please use something like
SHOW TABLES FOR information_schema LIKE 'TABLES'
when you intend to get the same non empty result set on OS with and
without case sensitive filesystems and default configuration.
- The name of the data dictionary is 'information_schema' (lowercase).
- Server on OS with filesystem with case sensitive filenames
(= The files 'abc' and 'Abc' can coexist.)
+ default configuration
Example of behaviour:
DROP DATABASE information_schema;
ERROR 42000: Access denied for user ... to database 'information_schema'
DROP DATABASE INFORMATION_SCHEMA;
ERROR 42000: Access denied for user ... to database 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA'
- Try to unify results by
--replace_result $engine_type <engine_to_be_tested>
if we could expect that the results for storage engine variants of a
test differ only in the engine names.
This makes future maintenance easier.
- Avoid the use of include/show_msg*.inc.
They produce "SQL" noise which annoys during server debugging and can be
easy replaced by "--echo ...".
