message:
  Fix for Bug#43138: DROP DATABASE failure does not clean up message list.
  
  The problem was that the high-level function mysql_rm_db() invoked
  low-level mysql_rm_table_part2(), which reported low-level error
  (Unknown table) if SE refused to delete a table. Also when
  mysql_rm_table_part2() reported an error, it didn't add corresponding
  warning into the list (because it is used from other places where such
  behaviour is required).
  
  The fix is to
    1. Remove no_warnings_for_error usage from sql_table.cc
    2. Improve internal error handler support in THD, so that
       a stack of error handlers is allowed.
    3. Create an internal error handler (Drop_table_error_handler)
       to silence useless warnings.
    4. Use the handler in DROP DATABASE and DROP TABLE statements.

  Additional patch for Bug#38347 (ALTER ROUTINE privilege

  The problem was that information_schema.test,

  failed with the first patch. That happened due to limitation in check_access():
  it allows only SELECT_ACL privilege for INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables.
  
  The patch is to request only SELECT_ACL privilege for INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables.

This patch implements: 

WL#4264 "Backup: Stabilize Service Interface" -- all the
server prerequisites except si_objects.{h,cc} themselves (they can
be just copied over, when needed).

WL#4435: Support OUT-parameters in prepared statements.

(and all issues in the initial patches for these two
tasks, that were discovered in pushbuild and during testing).

Bug#39519: mysql_stmt_close() should flush all data
associated with the statement.

After execution of a prepared statement, send OUT parameters of the invoked
stored procedure, if any, to the client.

When using the binary protocol, send the parameters in an additional result
set over the wire.  When using the text protocol, assign out parameters to
the user variables from the CALL(@var1, @var2, ...) specification.

The following refactoring has been made:
  - Protocol::send_fields() was renamed to Protocol::send_result_set_metadata();
  - A new Protocol::send_result_set_row() was introduced to incapsulate
    common functionality for sending row data.
  - Signature of Protocol::prepare_for_send() was changed: this operation
    does not need a list of items, the number of items is fully sufficient.

The following backward incompatible changes have been made:
  - CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS is now enabled by default in the client;
  - CLIENT_PS_MULTI_RESUTLS is now enabled by default in the client.

Post merge fix for embedded server.

The flag EXTRA_ACL is used in conjugation with our access checks, yet it is
not clear what impact this flag has.
This is a code clean up which replaces use of EXTRA_ACL with an explicit
function parameter.
The patch also fixes privilege checks for:
- SHOW CREATE TABLE: The new privilege requirement is any privilege on
  the table-level.
- CHECKSUM TABLE: Requires SELECT on the table level.
- SHOW CREATE VIEW: Requires SHOW_VIEW and SELECT on the table level
  (just as the manual claims)
- SHOW INDEX: Requires any privilege on any column combination.

A fix and a test case for Bug#34898 "mysql_info() reports 0 warnings
while mysql_warning_count() reports 1"

Review the patch by Chad Miller, implement review comments
(since Chad left) and push the patch.

This bug is actually not a bug. At least according to Monty.
See Bug#841 "wrong number of warnings" reported back in July 2003
and closed as "not a bug".
mysql_info() was printing the number of truncated columns, not
the number of warnings.
But since the message of mysql_info() was "Warnings: <number of truncated
columns>", people would expect to get the number
of warnings in it, not the number of truncated columns.

So a possible fix would be to change the message of mysql_info()
to say Rows changed: <n>, truncated: <m>.

Instead, put the number of warnings there. That is, remove the
feature that thd->cuted_fields (the number of truncated fields)
is exposed to the client. The number of truncated columns can be
calculated on the client, by analyzing SHOW WARNINGS output,
and in future we may remove thd->cuted_fields altogether.
So let's have one less thing to worry about.

  A patch for Bug#39255: Stored procedures: crash if function
  references nonexistent table.
  
  The problem is not reproduced in 6.0. Adding a test case.

           redefining trigger
      
The 'table->auto_increment_field_not_null' flag is only valid within
processing of a single row, and should be set to FALSE before
navigating to the next row, or exiting the operation.
      
This bug was caused by an SQL error occuring while executing a trigger
after the flag had been set, so the normal resetting was bypassed.
The table object was then returned to the table share's cache in
a dirty condition.   When the table object was reused, an assert
caught that the flag was set.
      
This patch explicitly clears the flag on error/abort.


Backported from mysql-6.0-codebase  revid: 2617.52.1

The fix for Bug #38124 introuced a bug. If the value given 
for a set_var exceeded the length of the temporary buffer,
we would read behind the end of the buffer.  Using 
c_ptr_safe(), instead of c_ptr(), ensures that we won't
read beyond the buffer limit

                get_table_share, drop_open_table
            
In the partition handler code, LOCK_open and share->LOCK_ha_data
are acquired in the wrong order in certain cases.  When doing a
multi-row INSERT (i.e a INSERT..SELECT) in a table with auto-
increment column(s). the increments must be in a monotonically
continuous increasing sequence (i.e it can't have "holes"). To
achieve this, a lock is held for the duration of the operation.
share->LOCK_ha_data was used for this purpose.
            
Whenever there was a need to open a view _during_ the operation
(views are not currently pre-opened the way tables are), and
LOCK_open was grabbed, a deadlock could occur.  share->LOCK_ha_data
is other places used _while_ holding LOCK_open.
            
A new mutex was introduced in the HA_DATA_PARTITION structure,
for exclusive use of the autoincrement data fields, so we don't
need to overload the use of LOCK_ha_data here.
            
A module test case has not been supplied, since the problem occurs
as a result of a race condition, and testing for this condition 
is thus not deterministic.   Testing for it could be done by
setting up a test case as described in the bug report.

                  
When assigning the new string value to the variable, the
Item::str_value member was used.  This is not according to
the protocol.  str_value is an internal member used for
temporary assignments, and is not consistently set for all
string operations.  It is set for constant strings, so it would
work in these cases, but not for string functions (concat,
substr, etc.)
                  
The correct approach is to use Item::val_str(..) to evaluate
and retrieve the string.

  Bug #34481 A typo in HugeTLB error Message.

Bug #47274 assert in open_table on CREATE TABLE <already existing>

The problem was an assertion during execution of CREATE TABLES. 
This assertion would occur if INSERT DELAYED or REPLACE DELAYED
were used to update a table containing an AUTO_INCREMENT column
and if the inserted row had a user-supplied value for that column.
Any CREATE TABLE statement (including CREATE TABLE SELECT and
CREATE TABLE LIKE) trying to create the same table and 
which followed the INSERT/REPLACED would cause the assertion.

The problem was only noticeable on debug builds of the server
and not present in the mysql-5.1 tree.

The cause of the problem was that the code for delayed insert did
not properly reset the TABLE->auto_increment_if_null flag after 
The flag is used to indicate that a non-null value of an auto_increment field
has been provided by the user or retrieved from a current record.
Open_tables() contains an assertion that tests this flag, and this
was triggered by CREATE TABLE.

This patch fixes the problem by resetting the auto_increment_if_null
field to FALSE once INSERT/REPLACE DELAYED has updated the table, 
similar to what is done already for regular INSERT statements.

Test case added to delayed.test.
