1. When mixing NULL to a character string,
the result takes its charset/collation attributes from the character string, e.g. SELECT func(NULL, _latin2'string') now returns a latin2 result. This is done by introducing a new derivation (aka coercibility) level DERIVATION_IGNORABLE, which is used with Item_null. 2. 'Pure' NULL is now BINARY(0), not CHAR(0). I.e. NULL is now more typeless. mysql-test/r/metadata.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/r/null.result: Testing mixing NULL with a character string with a number of functions. mysql-test/r/ps_2myisam.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/r/ps_3innodb.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/r/ps_4heap.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/r/ps_5merge.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/r/ps_6bdb.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/r/ps_7ndb.result: Fixing test results: CHAR(0) -> BINARY(0) for NULLs mysql-test/t/null.test: Testing mixing NULL with a character string with a number of functions. sql/item.cc: New derivation level. sql/item.h: New derivation level.
