    Bug#31662: 'null' is shown as type of fields for view with bad definer, breaks mysqldump · 0e700e1e
    unknown authored
    SHOW FIELDS FROM a view with no valid definer was possible (since fix
    for Bug#26817), but gave NULL as a field-type. This led to mysqldump-ing
    of such views being successful, but loading such a dump with the client
    failing. Patch allows SHOW FIELDS to give data-type of field in underlying
    table.
    
    
    mysql-test/r/information_schema_db.result:
      Fix test results: SHOW FIELDS FROM a view with no valid DEFINER
      gives us the field-type of the underlying table now rather than NULL.
    sql/sql_base.cc:
      In the case of SHOW FIELDS FROM <view>, do not require a valid
      DEFINER for determining underlying data-type like we usually do.
      This is needed for mysqldump.
