japanese characters.

Fix - removed obsolvete setlocale from my_init.c . In MBCS 
environments it caused unwanted character-to-byte translations
in fputc()  in client code and wrong output as result.

Prevent this by modifying CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.

implicit command which isn't completed immediately.

A string buffers which were included in the 'view' data structure
were allocated on the stack, causing an invalid pointer when used
after the function returned.
The fix: use copy of values for view->md5 & view->queries

1. Replace --sleep by wait_* primitive
2. Vertical output for SHOW SLAVE STATUS
3. Updated result file

- Make send_row_on_empty_set() return FALSE when simplify_cond() has found out
  that HAVING is always FALSE
re-committing to put the fix into 5.0 and 5.1

Visual Studio 2008 Express edition does not include message compiler mc.exe
It is not possible to build MySQL server if only VC2008 Express is installed,
because we use mc.exe to generate event log messages.

This patch removes the mc.exe dependency. Generated files message.h, 
message.rc and MSG00001.bin  are checked into source code repository.
Instructions on how to add or change messages are added to messages.mc

The problem was that the server did not robustly handle a
unilateral roll back issued by the Resource Manager (RM)
due to a resource deadlock within the transaction branch.
By not acknowledging the roll back, the server (TM) would
eventually corrupt the XA transaction state and crash.

The solution is to mark the transaction as rollback-only
if the RM indicates that it rolled back its branch of the
transaction.

fails after the first time
  
Two separate problems : 
  1. When flattening joins the linked list used for name resolution 
  (next_name_resolution_table) was not updated.
  Fixed by updating the pointers when extending the table list
  
  2. The items created by expanding a * (star) as a column reference
  were marked as fixed, but no cached table was assigned to them 
  (unlike what Item_field::fix_fields does).
  Fixed by assigning a cached table (so the re-preparation is done
  faster).
  
Note that the fix for #2 hides the fix for #1 in most cases
(except when a table reference cannot be cached).

Server crashed during a sort order optimization
of a dependent subquery:

SELECT
    (SELECT t1.a FROM t1, t2
      WHERE t1.a = t2.b AND t2.a = t3.c
      ORDER BY t1.a)
  FROM t3;


Bitmap of tables, that the reference to outer table
column uses, in addition to the regular table bit
has the OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT bit set.
The only_eq_ref_tables function traverses this map
bit by bit simultaneously with join->map2table list.
Obviously join->map2table never contains an entry
for the OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT pseudo-table, so the
server crashed there.


The only_eq_ref_tables function has been modified
to traverse regular table bits only like the
update_depend_map function (resetting of the
OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT there is enough, but
resetting of the whole set of PSEUDO_TABLE_BITS
is used there for sure).

Added the missing DROP TABLE

The problem is that the offset argument of the limit clause
might be truncated on a 32-bits server built without big
tables support. The truncation was happening because the
original 64-bits long argument was being cast to a 32-bits
(ha_rows) offset counter.

The solution is to check if the conversing resulted in value
truncation and if so, the offset is set to the maximum possible
value that can fit on the type.

If delayed insert fails to upgrade the lock it was not
freeing the temporary memory storage used to keep
newly constructed blob values in memory.
Fixed by iterating over the remaining rows in the delayed
insert rowset and freeing the blob storage for each row.

No test suite because it involves concurrent delayed inserts 
on a table and cannot easily be made deterministic. 

Added a correct valgrind suppression for Fedora 9.

The problem is that field names constructed due to wild-card
expansion done inside a stored procedure could point to freed
memory if the expansion was performed after the first call to
the stored procedure.

The problem was solved by patch for Bug#38691. The solution
was to allocate the database, table and field names in the
in the statement memory instead of table memory.

This time the inclusion of <stdio.h> before "config.h" enabled legacy large
file support, seek64() and similar, on AIX breaking the compile of "gzio.c"

Merge conflicts in test "create:
- for "create.result", handled correctly by "bzr extmerge" (using "kdiff3"),
- for "create.test", not reported as a conflict, but merged wrong
  (new block at the test end got duplicated), fixed manually.

Test on Linux (Debian, PowerPC) was ok.

Select with a "NULL NOT IN" condition containing complex
subselect from the same table as in the outer select failed
with an assertion.


The failure was caused by a concatenation of circumstances:
1) an inner select was optimized by make_join_statistics to use
   the QUICK_RANGE_SELECT access method (that implies an index
   scan of the table);
2) a subselect was independent (constant) from the outer select;
3) a condition was pushed down into inner select.

During the evaluation of a constant IN expression an optimizer
temporary changed the access method from index scan to table
scan, but an engine handler was already initialized for index
access by make_join_statistics. That caused an assertion.


Unnecessary index initialization has been removed from
the QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::init method (QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::reset
reinvokes this initialization).

            with COALESCE and JOIN

The server returned to a client the VARBINARY column type
instead of the DATE type for a result of the COALESCE,
IFNULL, IF, CASE, GREATEST or LEAST functions if that result
was filesorted in an anonymous temporary table during
the query execution.

For example:
  SELECT COALESCE(t1.date1, t2.date2) AS result
    FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id ORDER BY result;


To create a column of various date/time types in a
temporary table the create_tmp_field_from_item() function
uses the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() method
call. However, fields of the MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDATE type were
missed there, and the VARBINARY columns were created
by default.
Necessary condition has been added.

           derived table cause crash

When a multi-UPDATE command fails to lock some table, and
subsequently succeeds, the tables need to be reopened if
they were altered. But the reopening procedure failed for
derived tables.

Extra cleanup has been added.

                 
When running Stored Routines the Status Variable "Questions" was wrongly
incremented. According to the manual it should contain the "number of
statements that clients have sent to the server"
              
Introduced a new status variable 'questions' to replace the query_id
variable which currently corresponds badly with the number of statements
sent by the client.
            
The new behavior is ment to be backward compatible with 4.0 and at the
same time work with new features in a similar way.
            
This is a backport from 6.0

          ``FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK''

Concurrent execution of 1) multitable update with a
NATURAL/USING join and 2) a such query as "FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK" or "ALTER TABLE" of updating table led
to a server crash.


The mysql_multi_update_prepare() function call is optimized
to lock updating tables only, so it postpones locking to
the last, and if locking fails, it does cleanup of modified
syntax structures and repeats a query analysis.  However,
that cleanup procedure was incomplete for NATURAL/USING join
syntax data: 1) some Field_item items pointed into freed
table structures, and 2) the TABLE_LIST::join_columns fields
was not reset.

Major change:
  short-living Field *Natural_join_column::table_field has
  been replaced with long-living Item*.
