    Fix for bug#23037 Bug in field "Default" of query "SHOW COLUMNS FROM table" · 29947efc

    To the documentor: The DEFAULT value in SHOW COLUMNS/SELECT FROM I_S.COLUMNS
    was truncated to NAME_LEN (which effectively is 64) characters.
    
    
    mysql-test/r/information_schema.result:
      Update result
      
      Because the length of I_S.COLUMNS.COLUMN_DEFAULT was increased to
      65535 the column changed it's type from varchar(64) to longtext
      The type is longtext if the length is > 65532 (the max varchar len)
    mysql-test/t/information_schema.test:
      test case for bug#23037: Bug in field "Default" of
      query "SHOW COLUMNS FROM table"
      
      Both SHOW COLUMNS and I_S.COLUMNS is TESTED as well the
      value returned by both. Using --replace_regex is unfeasible
      as the repetition value cannot be > 255.
      --replace_regex /A{256}/VALUE/ doesn't work, not to talk about
        /A{65532}/VALUE/
      /(A{255}){255}/VALUE/ is awfully slow. Thus, simple function with
      cursor is used to extract the value.
    sql/sql_show.cc:
      Default value can have TIMESTAMP, CHAR, VARCHAR, ENUM
      VARCHAR can have the longest value, up to 65535. However, because
      of table handler limitations the actual limit is 65532 characters,
      latin1 charset. However, here is used MAX_FIELD_VARCHARLENGTH macro,
      because there could be a storage engine without such limitation.
