Problem was that the partition containing NULL values
was pruned away, since '2001-01-01' < '2001-02-00' but
TO_DAYS('2001-02-00') is NULL.

Added the NULL partition for RANGE/LIST partitioning on TO_DAYS()
function to be scanned too.

Also fixed a bug that added ALLOW_INVALID_DATES to sql_mode
(SELECT * FROM t WHERE date_col < '1999-99-99' on a RANGE/LIST
partitioned table would add it).

  Always include the NULL partition if RANGE or LIST.
  Use the returned value for the function for pruning, even if
  it is marked as NULL, so that even '2000-00-00' can be
  used for pruning, even if TO_DAYS('2000-00-00') is NULL.

When killing a user session on the server, it's necessary to
interrupt (notify) the thread associated with the session that
the connection is being killed so that the thread is woken up
if waiting for I/O. On a few platforms (Mac, Windows and HP-UX)
where the SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE flag is defined, this interruption
procedure is to asynchronously close the underlying socket of
the connection.

In order to enable this schema, each connection serving thread
registers its VIO (I/O interface) so that other threads can
access it and close the connection. But only the owner thread of
the VIO might delete it as to guarantee that other threads won't
see freed memory (the thread unregisters the VIO before deleting
it). A side note: closing the socket introduces a harmless race
that might cause a thread attempt to read from a closed socket,
but this is deemed acceptable.

The problem is that this infrastructure was meant to only be used
by server threads, but the slave I/O thread was registering the
VIO of a mysql handle (a client API structure that represents a
connection to another server instance) as a active connection of
the thread. But under some circumstances such as network failures,
the client API might destroy the VIO associated with a handle at
will, yet the VIO wouldn't be properly unregistered. This could
lead to accesses to freed data if a thread attempted to kill a
slave I/O thread whose connection was already broken.

There was a attempt to work around this by checking whether
the socket was being interrupted, but this hack didn't work as
intended due to the aforementioned race -- attempting to read
from the socket would yield a "bad file descriptor" error.

The solution is to add a hook to the client API that is called
from the client code before the VIO of a handle is deleted.
This hook allows the slave I/O thread to detach the active vio
so it does not point to freed memory.

  Add stub method required for linking.
sql-common/client.c:
  Invoke hook.

  Export hook.

on SHOW CREATE TRIGGER + MERGE table

Problem: SHOW CREATE TRIGGER erroneously relies on fact
that we have the only underlying table for a trigger
(wrong for merge tables).

Fix: remove erroneous assert().


mysql-test/r/merge.result:
  Fix for bug #46614: Assertion in show_create_trigger() 
  on SHOW CREATE TRIGGER + MERGE table
    - test result.
mysql-test/t/merge.test:

    - test case.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  Fix for bug #46614: Assertion in show_create_trigger() 
  on SHOW CREATE TRIGGER + MERGE table
    - unnecessary assert() removed as we may have more than 1 
  tables open e.g. for a merge table.

There is an inconsistency with DROP DATABASE|TABLE|EVENT IF EXISTS and
CREATE DATABASE|TABLE|EVENT IF NOT EXISTS. DROP IF EXISTS statements are
binlogged even if either the DB, TABLE or EVENT does not exist. In
contrast, Only the CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS is binlogged when the EVENT
exists.  

This patch fixes the following cases for all the replication formats:
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS,
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... LIKE,
CREAET TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT.

sql/sql_insert.cc:
  Part of the code was moved from the create_table_from_items to select_create::prepare.
  When replication is row based, CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS.. SELECT is binlogged if the table exists.

"CREATE TABLE TRANSACTIONAL PAGE_CHECKSUM ROW_FORMAT=PAGE accepted, 
does nothing".

Put back stubs for members of structures that are shared between
sql/ and pluggable storage engines. to not break ABI unnecessarily.
To be NULL-merged into 5.4, where we do break the ABI already.

Replication SQL thread does not set database default charset to 
thd->variables.collation_database properly, when executing LOAD DATA binlog.
This bug can be repeated by using "LOAD DATA" command in STATEMENT mode.
        
This patch adds code to find the default character set of the current database 
then assign it to thd->db_charset when slave server begins to execute a relay log.
The test of this bug is added into rpl_loaddata_charset.test 

widely used, in replication (delete_allow_opened) and for named
pipe support. We do not support Win9x anymore.

The problem is that the lexer could inadvertently skip over the
end of a query being parsed if it encountered a malformed multibyte
character. A specially crated query string could cause the lexer
to jump up to six bytes past the end of the query buffer. Another
problem was that the laxer could use unfiltered user input as
a signed array index for the parser maps (having upper and lower
bounds 0 and 256 respectively).

The solution is to ensure that the lexer only skips over well-formed
multibyte characters and that the index value of the parser maps
is always a unsigned value.

mysql-test/r/ctype_recoding.result:
  Update test case result: ending backtick is not skipped over anymore.
sql/sql_lex.cc:
  Characters being analyzed must be unsigned as they can be
  used as indexes for the parser maps. Only skip over if the
  string is a valid multi-byte sequence.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  Add test case for Bug#45010

Problem 1:
When the 'Using index' optimization is used, the optimizer may still - after
cost-based optimization - decide to use another index in order to avoid using
a temporary table. But when this happens, the flag to the storage engine to 
read index only (not table) was still set. Fixed by resetting the flag in the 
storage engine and TABLE structure in the above scenario, unless the new index
allows for the same optimization.
Problem 2:
When a 'ref' access method was employed by cost-based optimizer, (when the column
is non-NULLable), it was assumed that it needed no initialization if 'quick' access
methods (since they are based on range scan). When ORDER BY optimization overrides 
the decision, however, it expects to have this initialized and hence crashes. 
Fixed in 5.1 (was fixed in 6.0 already) by initializing 'quick' even when there's 
'ref' access.

when partition is reoganized.

Problem was that table->timestamp_field_type was not changed
before copying rows between partitions.

fixed by setting it to TIMESTAMP_NO_AUTO_SET as the first thing
in fast_alter_partition_table, so that all if-branches is covered.

                    column on partitioned table
      
      
An assertion 'ASSERT_COULUMN_MARKED_FOR_READ' is failed if the query 
is executed with index containing double column on partitioned table.
The problem is that assertion expects all the fields which are read,
to be in the read_set.
      
In this query only the field 'a' is in the readset as the tables in
the query are joined by the field 'a' and so the assertion fails 
expecting other field 'b'.
      
Since the function cmp() is just comparison of two parameters passed, 
the assertion is not required.
      
Fixed by removing the assertion in the double fields comparision
function and also fixed the index initialization to do ordered
index scan with RW LOCK which ensures all the fields from a key are in
the read_set.
 

Note: this bug is not reproducible with other datatypes because the
      assertion doesn't exist in comparision function for other 
      datatypes.
