mysql-test/extra/rpl_tests/rpl_set_null.test

+# Both of the following tests check that comparison of binlog BI
+# against SE record will not fail due to remains from previous values
+# in the SE record (before a given field was set to null).
+#
+# In MIXED mode:
+# - Insert and update are executed as statements
+# - Delete is executed as a row event
+# - Assertion: checks that comparison will not fail because the update
+#              statement will clear the record contents for the nulled
+#              field. If data was not cleared, some engines may keep
+#              the value and return it later as garbage - despite the
+#              fact that field is null. This may cause slave to
+#              falsely fail in the comparison (memcmp would fail
+#              because of "garbage" in record data).
+#
+# In ROW mode:
+# - Insert, update and delete are executed as row events.
+# - Assertion: checks that comparison will not fail because the update
+#              rows event will clear the record contents before
+#              feeding the new value to the SE. This protects against
+#              SEs that do not clear record contents when storing
+#              nulled fields. If the engine did not clear the data it
+#              would cause slave to falsely fail in the comparison
+#              (memcmp would fail because of "garbage" in record
+#              data). This scenario is pretty much the same described
+#              above in MIXED mode, but checks different execution
+#              path in the slave.
