crashes MySQL 5.122
There was a difference in how UNIONs are handled
on top level and when in sub-query.
Because the rules for sub-queries were syntactically
allowing cases that are not currently supported by
the server we had crashes (this bug) or wrong results
(bug 32051).
Fixed by making the syntax rules for UNIONs match the 
ones at top level.

These rules however do not support nesting UNIONs, e.g.
(SELECT a FROM t1 UNION ALL SELECT b FROM t2) 
 UNION
(SELECT c FROM t3 UNION ALL SELECT d FROM t4)
Supports for statements with nested UNIONs will be
added in a future version.

This is to fix mysqldump test failure in PB introduced by the patch
for bug #26215.

  bug #26215: mysql command line client should not strip comments
              from SQL statements
and
  bug #11230: Keeping comments when storing stored procedures

With the introduction of multiline comments support in the command line
client (mysql) in MySQL 4.1, it became impossible to preserve
client-side comments within single SQL statements or stored routines.
This feature was useful for monitoring tools and maintenance.

The patch adds a new option to the command line client
('--enable-comments', '-c') which allows to preserve SQL comments and
send them to the server for single SQL statements, and to keep comments
in the code for stored procedures / functions / triggers.

The patch is a modification of the contributed patch from bug #11230
with the following changes:
- code style changes to conform to the coding guidelines
- changed is_prefix() to my_strnncoll() to detect the DELIMITER
command, since the first one is case-sensitive and not charset-aware
- renamed t/comments-51.* to t/mysql_comments.*
- removed tests for comments in triggers since 5.0 does not have SHOW
CREATE TRIGGER (those tests will be added back in 5.1).

The test cases are only for bug #11230. No automated test case for bug
#26215 is possible due to the test suite deficiencies (though the cases
from the bug report were tested manually).

The HAVING clause is subject to the same rules as the SELECT list
about using aggregated and non-aggregated columns.
But this was not enforced when processing implicit grouping from
using aggregate functions.
Fixed by performing the same checks for HAVING as for SELECT.

Item_in_subselect's only externally callable method is val_bool().
However the nullability in the wrapper class (Item_in_optimizer) is 
established by calling the "forbidden" method val_int().

Fixed to use the correct method (val_bool() ) to establish nullability 
of Item_in_subselect in Item_in_optimizer.

There are two problems with ROUND(X, D) on an exact numeric 
(DECIMAL, NUMERIC type) field of a table:
1) The implementation of the ROUND function would change the number of decimal
places regardless of the value decided upon in fix_length_and_dec. When the
number of decimal places is not constant, this would cause an inconsistent
state where the number of digits was less than the number of decimal places,
which crashes filesort.

Fixed by not allowing the ROUND operation to add any more decimal places than
was decided in fix_length_and_dec.

2) fix_length_and_dec would allow the number of decimals to be greater than
the maximium configured value for constant values of D. This led to the same 
crash as in (1).

Fixed by not allowing the above in fix_length_and_dec.

The fix is a copy of Martin Friebe's suggestion.
added testing for no_appended which will be false if anything,
including the empty string is in result

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.

doesn't recognize it

This is a 5.0 version of the patch, it will be null-merged to 5.1

Problem:

'log' and 'log_slow_queries' were "fixed" variables, i.e. they showed up
in SHOW VARIABLES, but could not be used in expressions like 
"select @@log". Also, using them in the SET statement produced an 
incorrect "unknown system variable" error.

Solution:

Make 'log' and 'log_slow_queries' read-only dynamic variables to make 
them available for use in expressions, and produce a correct error 
about the variable being read-only when used in the SET statement.

all space column names.

The parser has been modified to check VIEW column names
with the check_column_name function and to report an error
on empty and all space column names (same as for TABLE
column names).

The optimizer pre-calculates the MIN/MAX values for queries like
 SELECT MIN(kp_k) WHERE kp_1 = const AND ... AND kp_k-1 = const
when there is a key over kp_1...kp_k
In doing so it was not checking correctly nullability and 
there was a superfluous assert(). 
Fixed by making sure that the field can be null before checking and
taking out the wrong assert().
.
Introduced a correct check for nullability 
The MIN(field) can return NULL when all the row values in the group
are NULL-able or if there were no rows.
Fixed the assertion to reflect the case when there are no rows.

character (one of n, t, r, b, 0, Z or N) and ENCLOSED BY
is empty, every occurrence of this character within a
field value is duplicated.

Duplication has been avoided.

non-optional and non-empty FIELDS ENCLOSED BY".
