"freeing items"

The calculation of the table map log event in the event constructor
was one byte shorter than what would be actually written. This would
lead to a mismatch between the number of bytes written and the event
end_log_pos, causing bad event alignment in the binlog (corrupted
binlog) or in the transaction cache while fixing positions
(MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write_cache). This could lead to impossible to read
binlog or even infinite loops in MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write_cache.

This patch addresses this issue by correcting the expected event
length in the Table_map_log_event constructor, when the field metadata
size exceeds 255.

Multiple-table DELETE from a table joined to itself may cause
server crash. This was originally discovered with MEMORY engine,
but may affect other engines with different symptoms.

The problem was that the server violated SE API by performing
parallel table scan in one handler and removing records in
another (delete on the fly optimization).

When a user selected an unsupported character set for an
IBMDB2I table, error 2501 or 2511 may have been returned,
giving the appearance of an internal programming error.

This patch consolidates these errors into a single descriptive
error message for the common case of an unsupported character
set.

The new error number is 2504 and indicates a user error.
The errors 2501 and 2511 remain to indicate cases of internal
programming errors.

on cp932 and sjis environment.
Problem: case conversion erroneously changes the second bytes
of multi-byte sequences because single-byte functions were
called in a mistake.
Fix: call multi-byte aware functions instead.

removed few sprintf's

'INSERT ... SELECT' statements

Merge

'INSERT ... SELECT' statements
            
The code that produces result rows expected that a duplicate row
error could not occur in INSERT ... SELECT statements with 
unfulfilled WHERE conditions. This may happen, however, if the 
SELECT list contains only aggregate functions.
Fixed by checking if an error occured before trying to send EOF
to the client.

A backport of fix for "BUG40092 - Storage engine API uses
time_t datatype".

Starting from MSVC C++ 2005 (v8), the default size of time_t
is changed from 32-bit to 64-bit. As the result, the binaries
built with pre-v8 MSVC C++ do not work with the binaries
(storage engine plugins) built with v8 or after (server
crashes).

Fixed storage engine API to use datatype with known size
(ulong) instead of time_t.

1. Replace waiting of SQL thread stop by waiting of SQL error on slave and stopped
SQL thread.
2. Remove debug code because it already implemented in MTR2.

EXPLAIN EXTENDED of nested query containing a error:

   1054 Unknown column '...' in 'field list'

may cause a server crash.


Parse error like described above forces a call to
JOIN::destroy() on malformed subquery.
That JOIN::destroy function closes and frees temporary
tables. However, temporary fields of these tables
may be listed in st_select_lex::group_list of outer
query, and that st_select_lex may not cleanup them
properly. So, after the JOIN::destroy call that
st_select_lex::group_list may have Item_field
objects with dangling pointers to freed temporary
table Field objects. That caused a crash.

This patch adds corrections to the original patch
submitted 2009-04-08 (http://lists.mysql.com/commits/71607):

- fixed that the original patch didn't work because of an
  incorrect condition;
- added a test case.

my_error() was invoked in reset_slave()'s with purge_relay_logs()-failing branch
without passing sql_errno to it.

Fixed with setting sql_errno= ER_RELAY_LOG_FAIL in the purge_relay_logs()-failing branch.

                                    table corruption


Moved the testcase from the file myisam.test to the new testfile 
mysiam_debug.test
 

This is a "null" merge because the fix is
already in 5.1

Error happens because sp_head::MULTI_RESULTS is not set for SP
which has 'show table status' command.
The fix is to add a SQLCOM_SHOW_TABLE_STATUS case into
sp_get_flags_for_command() func.

per-file comments:
  tests/mysql_client_test.c
the test for bug 37956 isn't relevant anymore.
The query there 'select point(?,?)' doesn't produce an error.

                       
Killing the insert-select statement corrupts the MyISAM table only
when the destination table is empty and when it has indexes. When 
we bulk insert huge data and if the destination table is empty we 
disable the indexes for fast inserts, data is then inserted and 
indexes are re-enabled after bulk_insert operation
                        
Killing the query, aborts the repair table operation during enable
indexes phase leading to table corruption.
                      
We now truncate the table when we detect that enable indexes is
killed for bulk insert query.As we have an empty table before the 
operation, we can fix by truncating the table.
