Problem was that the partition containing NULL values
was pruned away, since '2001-01-01' < '2001-02-00' but
TO_DAYS('2001-02-00') is NULL.

Added the NULL partition for RANGE/LIST partitioning on TO_DAYS()
function to be scanned too.

Also fixed a bug that added ALLOW_INVALID_DATES to sql_mode
(SELECT * FROM t WHERE date_col < '1999-99-99' on a RANGE/LIST
partitioned table would add it).

There were a problem since pruning uses the field
for comparison (while evaluate_join_record uses longlong),
resulting in pruning failures when comparing DATE to DATETIME.

Fix was to always comparing DATE vs DATETIME as DATETIME,
by adding ' 00:00:00' to the DATE string.

And adding optimization for comparing with 23:59:59, so that
DATETIME_col > '2001-02-03 23:59:59' ->
TO_DAYS(DATETIME_col) > TO_DAYS('2001-02-03 23:59:59') instead
of '>='.

The problem was that creating a DECIMAL column from a decimal
value could lead to a failed assertion as decimal values can
have a higher precision than those attached to a table. The
assert could be triggered by creating a table from a decimal
with a large (> 30) scale. Also, there was a problem in
calculating the number of digits in the integral and fractional
parts if both exceeded the maximum number of digits permitted
by the new decimal type.

The solution is to ensure that truncation procedure is executed
when deducing a DECIMAL column from a decimal value of higher
precision. If the integer part is equal to or bigger than the
maximum precision for the DECIMAL type (65), the integer part
is truncated to fit and the fractional becomes zero. Otherwise,
the fractional part is truncated to fit into the space left
after the integer part is copied.

This patch borrows code and ideas from Martin Hansson's patch.

INSERT ... SELECT ...

Problem was that when bulk insert is used on an empty
table/partition, it disables the indexes for better
performance, but in this specific case it also tries
to read from that partition using an index, which is
not possible since it has been disabled.

Solution was to allow index reads on disabled indexes
if there are no records.

Also reverted the patch for bug#38005, since that was a workaround
in the partitioning engine instead of a fix in myisam.

(temporary) TABLE, crash

Problem: if one has an open "HANDLER t1", further "TRUNCATE t1" 
doesn't close the handler and leaves handler table hash in an 
inconsistent state, that may lead to a server crash.

Fix: TRUNCATE should implicitly close all open handlers.

Doc. request: the fact should be described in the manual accordingly.

view manipulations
      
The bespoke flag was not properly reset after last call to 
fill_record. Fixed by resetting in caller mysql_update.

If the SQL Thread fails to execute an event due to a temporary error (e.g.
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK) and the option "--slave_transaction_retries" is set the SQL
Thread should not be aborted and the transaction should be restarted from the
beginning and re-executed.

Unfortunately, a wrong interpretation of the THD::is_fatal_error was preventing
this behavior. In a nutshell, "this variable is set to TRUE if an execution of a
compound statement cannot continue. In particular, it is used to disable access
to the CONTINUE or EXIT handlers of stored routines. So even temporary errors
may have this variable set.

To fix the bug, we have done what follows:

   DBUG_ENTER("has_temporary_error");

-  if (thd->is_fatal_error)
-    DBUG_RETURN(0);
-
   DBUG_EXECUTE_IF("all_errors_are_temporary_errors",
                   if (thd->main_da.is_error())
                   {

view that has Group By
      
Table access rights checking function check_grant() assumed
that no view is opened when it's called.
This is not true with nested views where the inner view
needs materialization. In this case the view is already 
materialized when check_grant() is called for it.
This caused check_grant() to not look for table level
grants on the materialized view table.
Fixed by checking if a view is already materialized and if 
it is check table level grants using the original table name
(not the ones of the materialized temp table).

When killing a user session on the server, it's necessary to
interrupt (notify) the thread associated with the session that
the connection is being killed so that the thread is woken up
if waiting for I/O. On a few platforms (Mac, Windows and HP-UX)
where the SIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE flag is defined, this interruption
procedure is to asynchronously close the underlying socket of
the connection.

In order to enable this schema, each connection serving thread
registers its VIO (I/O interface) so that other threads can
access it and close the connection. But only the owner thread of
the VIO might delete it as to guarantee that other threads won't
see freed memory (the thread unregisters the VIO before deleting
it). A side note: closing the socket introduces a harmless race
that might cause a thread attempt to read from a closed socket,
but this is deemed acceptable.

The problem is that this infrastructure was meant to only be used
by server threads, but the slave I/O thread was registering the
VIO of a mysql handle (a client API structure that represents a
connection to another server instance) as a active connection of
the thread. But under some circumstances such as network failures,
the client API might destroy the VIO associated with a handle at
will, yet the VIO wouldn't be properly unregistered. This could
lead to accesses to freed data if a thread attempted to kill a
slave I/O thread whose connection was already broken.

There was a attempt to work around this by checking whether
the socket was being interrupted, but this hack didn't work as
intended due to the aforementioned race -- attempting to read
from the socket would yield a "bad file descriptor" error.

The solution is to add a hook to the client API that is called
from the client code before the VIO of a handle is deleted.
This hook allows the slave I/O thread to detach the active vio
so it does not point to freed memory.

on SHOW CREATE TRIGGER + MERGE table

Problem: SHOW CREATE TRIGGER erroneously relies on fact
that we have the only underlying table for a trigger
(wrong for merge tables).

Fix: remove erroneous assert().

In STATEMENT based replication, a statement that failed on the master but that
updated non-transactional tables is written to binary log with the error code
appended to it. On the slave, the statement is executed and the same error is
expected. However, when an "expected error" did not happen on the slave and was
either ignored or was related to a concurrency issue on the master, the slave
did not rollback the effects of the statement and as such inconsistencies might
happen.

To fix the problem, we automatically rollback a statement that should have
failed on a slave but succeded and whose expected failure is either ignored or
stems from a concurrency issue on the master.

There is an inconsistency with DROP DATABASE|TABLE|EVENT IF EXISTS and
CREATE DATABASE|TABLE|EVENT IF NOT EXISTS. DROP IF EXISTS statements are
binlogged even if either the DB, TABLE or EVENT does not exist. In
contrast, Only the CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS is binlogged when the EVENT
exists.  

This patch fixes the following cases for all the replication formats:
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS,
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... LIKE,
CREAET TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT.
