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.

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.

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 for derived tables has been added:

          ``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*.

The grep expression that finds a running "mysqld" program fails if the
"mysqld_safe" is running with the same PID.

Now, excise "ps" output that has the word " grep" or "mysqld_safe" in 
it, to be a little more certain that the matched process is not a false 
positive hit.  This will fail when the path to mysqld contains either
of those two names, which should be acceptable.

Additionally, some text to search could be truncated if very long.  
Expand the number of lines "ps" emits.

When analyzing the possible index use cases the server was re-using an internal structure.
This is wrong, as this internal structure gets updated during the analysis.
Fixed by making a copy of the internal structure for every place it needs to be used.
Also stopped the generation of empty SEL_TREE structures that unnecessary 
complicate the analysis.

from stored procedure. 

Problem: we replace all references to local variables in stored procedures     
with NAME_CONST(name, value) logging to the binary log. However, if the
value's collation differs we might get an 'illegal mix of collation'           
error as we don't pass the collation to the function.

Fix: pass the value's collation to NAME_CONST().

Note: actually we should pass to NAME_CONST() the value's derivation as well.
It's impossible without the parser modifying. Now we always set the 
derivation to DERIVATION_IMPLICIT, the same as local variables have.

Server created "arc" directories inside database directories and
maintained there useless copies of .frm files.

Creation and renaming procedures of those copies as well as
creation of "arc" directories has been discontinued.
Removal procedure has been kept untouched to be able to
cleanup existent database directories by the DROP DATABASE
query. Also view renaming procedure has been updated to remove
these directories.

  (the FRM_ARCHIVE macro is not defined).
  
  2. Renaming procedure has been modified to remove obsolete

A stored procedure involving substrings could crash the server on certain
platforms because of invalid memory reads.
          
During storing the new blob-field value, the cached value's address range
overlapped that of the new field value. This caused problems when the 
cached value storage was reallocated to provide access for a new 
characater set representation. The patch checks the address ranges, and if
they overlap, the new field value is copied to a new storage before it is
converted to the new character set.
