            == MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG

A MIN/MAX() function with a subquery as its argument could lead
to a debug assertion on debug builds or wrong data on release
ones.

The problem was a combination of the following factors:

- Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() might use the argument
(args[0]) to calculate 'hybrid_field_type' which was later used
to decide how the data should be sent to the client.

- Item_sum::make_field() might use the argument again to
calculate the field's type when sending result set metadata to
the client.

- The argument could be changed in between these two calls via
  Item::set_arg() leading to inconsistent metadata being
  reported.

Here is what was happening for the bug's test case:

1. Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() calculates hybrid_field_type
as MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG based on args[0] which is an
Item::SUBSELECT_ITEM at that time.

2. A temporary table is created to execute the
query. create_tmp_field_from_item() creates a Field_long object
according to the subselect's max_length.

3. The subselect item in Item_sum_hybrid is replaced by the
Item_field object referencing the newly created Field_long.

4. Item_sum::make_field() rightfully returns the
MYSQL_TYPE_LONG type when calculating the result set metadata.

5. When sending the actual data, Item::send() relies on the
virtual field_type() function which in our case returns
previously calculated hybrid_field_type == MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG.

It looks like the only solution is to never refer to the
argument's metadata after the result metadata has been
calculated in fix_fields(), since the argument itself may be
different by then. In this sense, Item_sum::make_field() should
never be used, because it may rely on the argument's metadata
and is only called after fix_fields(). The "default"
implementation in Item::make_field() should be used instead as
it relies only on field_type(), but not on the argument's type.

Fixed by removing Item_sum::make_field() so that the superclass
implementation Item::make_field() is always used.

Free memory allocated by the server for all plugins,
with or without deinit() method.

InnoDB Plugin 1.0.11 has been released with MySQL 5.1.50.

After fix for bug 39653 the shortest available secondary index was used for
full table scan. Primary clustered key was used only if no secondary index
can be used. However, when chosen secondary index includes all fields of the
table being scanned it's better to use primary index since the amount of
data to scan is the same but the primary index is clustered.
Now the find_shortest_key function takes this into account.

Queries involving predicates of the form "const NOT BETWEEN
not_indexed_column AND indexed_column" could return wrong data
due to incorrect handling by the range optimizer.

For "c NOT BETWEEN f1 AND f2" predicates, get_mm_tree()
produces a disjunction of the SEL_ARG trees for "f1 > c" and
"f2 < c". If one of the trees is empty (i.e. one of the
arguments is not sargable) the resulting tree should be empty
as well, since the whole expression in this case is not
sargable.

The above logic is implemented in get_mm_tree() as follows. The
initial state of the resulting tree is NULL (aka empty). We
then iterate through arguments and compute the corresponding
SEL_ARG tree (either "f1 > c" or "f2 < c"). If the resulting
tree is NULL, it is simply replaced by the generated
tree. Otherwise it is replaced by a disjunction of itself and
the generated tree. The obvious flaw in this implementation is
that if the first argument is not sargable and thus produces a
NULL tree, the resulting tree will simply be replaced by the
tree for the second argument. As a result, "c NOT BETWEEN f1
AND f2" will end up as just "f2 < c".

Fixed by adding a check so that when the first argument
produces an empty tree for the NOT BETWEEN case, the loop is
aborted with an empty tree as a result. The whole idea of using
a loop for 2 arguments does not make much sense, but it was
probably used to avoid code duplication for several BETWEEN
variants.

This patch doesn't get rid of the need to acquire the dict_sys->mutex but
reduces the need to keep the mutex locked for the duration of the query
to fsp_get_available_space_in_free_extents() from ha_innobase::info().

The callers should indicate that the dictionary is locked or not using
the trx->dict_operation_lock_mode == RW_X_LATCH mode. Checking explicitly
for system tables is unnecessary.

        'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' behaviour
BUG#55474, BUG#55499, BUG#55598, BUG#55616 and BUG#55777 are fixed
in this patch too.

This is the 5.1 part.
It implements:
- if the table exists, binlog two events: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
  and INSERT ... SELECT

- Insert nothing and binlog nothing on master if the existing object
  is a view. It only generates a warning that table already exists.

Bug#56063 InnoDB Plugin mysql-tests fail on Solaris

The server was not checking for errors generated during
the execution of Item::val_xxx() methods when copying
data to the group, order, or distinct temp table's row.
Fixed by extending the copy_funcs() to return an error
code and by checking for that error code on the places
copy_funcs() is called. 
Test case added.

variable assignments

The assert() that is firing is checking if expressions that can't be
null return a NULL when evaluated.
MAKEDATE() function can return NULL if the second argument is 
less then or equal to 0. Thus its nullability depends not only on 
the nullability of its arguments but also on their values.
Fixed by (overoptimistically) setting MAKEDATE() to be nullable 
despite the nullability of its arguments.
Test added.
Had to update one test result to reflect the metadata change.

The test for bug no 50939 was put in range.test which isn't such a good idea
since it requires partitioning. Fixed by moving the test case to
partitioning_range.test.

           INSERT IGNORE ... SELECT ... UNION SELECT ...

This assert was triggered by INSERT IGNORE ... SELECT. The assert checks that a
statement either sends OK or an error to the client. If the bug was triggered
on release builds, it caused OK to be sent to the client instead of the correct
error message (in this case ER_FIELD_SPECIFIED_TWICE).

The reason the assert was triggered, was that lex->no_error was set to TRUE
during JOIN::optimize() because of IGNORE. This causes all errors to be ignored.
However, not all errors can be ignored. Some, such as ER_FIELD_SPECIFIED_TWICE
will cause the INSERT to fail no matter what. But since lex->no_error was set,
the critical errors were ignored, the INSERT failed and neither OK nor the
error message was sent to the client.

This patch fixes the problem by temporarily turning off lex->no_error in
places where errors cannot be ignored during processing of INSERT ... SELECT.

Test case added to insert.test.
