When substituting system constant functions with a constant result
the server was not expecting that the function may return NULL.
Fixed by checking for NULL and returning Item_null (in the relevant
collation) if the result of the system constant function was NULL.

Passing dubious "year zero" in non-zero date (not "0000-00-00") could
lead to negative value for year internally, while variable was unsigned.
This led to Really Bad Things further down the line.

Now doing calculations with signed type for year internally.

Added function to check for diff and return an error message if the utility is not present.
Previously, the way we did this didn't work on Windows, but did work on *Nix systems.

case.

Added global status variable 'Queries' which represents
total amount of queries executed by server including
statements executed by SPs.
note: It's old behaviour of 'Questions' variable.

Table could be marked dependent because it is
either 1) an inner table of an outer join, or 2) it is a part of
STRAIGHT_JOIN. In case of STRAIGHT_JOIN table->maybe_null should not
be assigned. The fix is to set st_table::maybe_null to 'true' only
for those tables which are used in outer join.

init user->user struct with 
thd->security_ctx->priv_user context
if user->user is not initializied

replace wild_case_compare with my_wildcmp which is multibyte safe function

The problem is that we cannot insert new record into memory table
when table size exceeds max memory table size.
The fix is to use schema_table_store_record() function which
converts memory table into MyISAM in case of table size exceeding.

Note:
There is no test case for this bug, the reason is that
1. The code  that was added already is checked(i.e. works) with existing tests
2. Correct work of schema_table_store_record() is checked with other test cases
   (information_schema tests)
So new code is fully covered with existing test cases.

The MONTHNAME/DAYNAME functions
returns binary string, so the LOWER/UPPER functions
are not effective on the result of MONTHNAME/DAYNAME call.  
Character set of the MONTHNAME/DAYNAME function
result has been changed to connection character set.

- QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT deinitializes its rnd_pos() scan when it reaches EOF, but we 
  need to make the deinitialization in QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT destructor also. This is because
  certain execution strategies can stop scanning without reaching EOF, then then try to do a full
  table scan on this table. Failure to deinitialize caused the full scan to use (already empty) 
  table->sort and produce zero records.

branches/5.0   bug#39483 InnoDB hang on adaptive hash because of out
of order ::open() call by MySQL

Under some conditions MySQL calls ::open with search_latch leading
to a deadlock as we try to acquire dict_sys->mutex inside ::open
breaking the latching order. The fix is to release search_latch.

Fix Bug#36149 Read buffer overflow in srv0start.c found during "make test"

Use strncmp(3) instead of memcmp(3) to avoid reading past end of the string
if it is empty (*str == '\0'). This bug is _not_ a buffer overflow.

Fix of issue# 4

Fixed a timing hole where a thread dropping an index can free the
in-memory index struct while another thread is still using
that structure to remove entries from adaptive hash index belonging
to one of the pages that belongs to the index being dropped.

The fix is to have a reference counter in the index struct and to
wait for this counter to drop to zero beforing freeing the struct.

Fix by retrying gettimeofday() several times if it fails in ut_usectime().
If it fails on all calls then return error to the caller to be handled
at higher level.

Update the variable innodb_row_lock_time_max in SHOW STATUS output only
if ut_usectime() was successful.

LONGTEXT column item has a maximum length of 32^2-1 bytes,
at the same time this is a maximum possible length of any
MySQL item. CAST(longtext_column AS UNSIGNED) returns some
unsigned numeric result of length 32^2-1, so the result of
IF/IFNULL function of this number and some other signed number
will have text length of (32^2-1)+1=32^2 (one byte for the
minus sign) - there is integer overflow, and the length is
equal to zero. That caused assert/crash.

CAST AS UNSIGNED function has been modified to limit maximal
length of resulting number to 67 (maximal length of DECIMAL
and two characters for minus sign and dot).

The bug has been fixed by the same solution as in the CASE

Fix parsing of mysql client commands, especially in relation to
single-line comments when --comments was specified.

This is a little tricky, because we need to allow single-line
comments in the middle of statements, but we don't want to allow
client commands in the middle of statements. So in
comment-preservation mode, we go ahead and send single-line
comments to the server immediately when we encounter them on their
own. 

This is still slightly flawed, in that it does not handle a
single-line comment with leading spaces, followed by a client-side
command when --comment has been enabled. But this isn't a new
problem, and it is quite an edge condition. Fixing it would require
a more extensive overall of how the mysql client parses commands.
