creation of the partitioned table could fail as we created Item-s for
it's list function in thd->mem_root, and then do Item->fix_fields
in the context of other table->mem_root (so that memory alloced
there was alloced in this table->mem_root). As we freed the
table->mem_root before we do thd->free_items, our Item-s had
pointers to the freed memory, that caused the crash

When the DEFINER clause isn't specified in the ALTER statement then it's loaded
from the view definition. If the definer differs from the current user then
the error is thrown because only a super-user can set other users as a definers.

Now if the DEFINER clause is omitted in the ALTER VIEW statement then the
definer from the original view is used without check.

 in index search MySQL was not explicitly
 suppressing warnings. And if the context 
 happens to enable warnings (e.g. INSERT ..
 SELECT) the warnings resulting from converting 
 the data the key is compared to are 
 reported to the client.
 Fixed by suppressing warnings when converting
 the data to the same type as the key parts.

Patch appled after doing a pull from the team tree. Additional tests had to be
fixed

The problem in this bug is when we create temporary tables. When
temporary tables are created for unions, there is some 
inferrence being carried out regarding the type of the column.
Whenever this column type is inferred to be REAL (i.e. FLOAT or
DOUBLE), MySQL will always try to maintain exact precision, and
if that is not possible (there are hardware limits, since FLOAT
and DOUBLE are stored as approximate values) will switch to
using approximate values. The problem here is that at this point
the information about number of significant digits is not 
available. Furthermore, the number of significant digits should
be increased for the AVG function, however, this was not properly 
handled. There are 4 parts to the problem:

#1: DOUBLE and FLOAT fields don't display their proper display 
lengths in max_display_length(). This is hard-coded as 53 for 
DOUBLE and 24 for FLOAT. Now changed to instead return the 
field_length.

#2: Type holders for temporary tables do not preserve the 
max_length of the Item's from which they are created, and is 
instead reverted to the 53 and 24 from above. This causes 
*all* fields to get non-fixed significant digits.

#3: AVG function does not update max_length (display length)
when updating number of decimals.

#4: The function that switches to non-fixed number of 
significant digits should use DBL_DIG + 2 or FLT_DIG + 2 as 
cut-off values (Since fixed precision does not use the 'e' 
notation)

Of these points, #1 is the controversial one, but this 
change is preferred and has been cleared with Monty. The 
function causes quite a few unit tests to blow up and they had
to b changed, but each one is annotated and motivated. We 
frequently see the magical 53 and 24 give way to more relevant
numbers.

  fix for cast( AS DATETIME)+0 in 5.0 and above versions.
  val_real now works using val_decimal for DATETIME Items
  Superfluous val_real() methods deleted

  fix for cast( AS DATETIME) + 0 operation.
  I just implemented Item_datetime_typecast::val() method
  as it is usually done in other classes.
  Should be fixed more radically in 5.0
