definition at engine

If a single ALTER TABLE contains both DROP INDEX and ADD INDEX using 
the same index name (a.k.a. index modification) we need to disable 
in-place alter table because we can't ask the storage engine to have 
two copies of the index with the same name even temporarily (if we 
first do the ADD INDEX and then DROP INDEX) and we can't modify 
indexes that are needed by e.g. foreign keys if we first do 
DROP INDEX and then ADD INDEX.
Fixed the problem by disabling in-place ALTER TABLE for these cases.

The problem was that killing a query during the optimization
phase of a subselect would lead to crashes. The root of the
problem is that the subselect execution engine ignores failures
(eg: killed) during the optimization phase (JOIN::optimize),
leading to a crash once the subquery is executed due to
partially initialized structures (in this case a join tab).

The optimal solution would be to cleanup certain optimizer
structures if the optimization phase fails, but currently
there is no infrastructure to properly to track and cleanup
the structures. To workaround the whole problem one somewhat
good solution is to avoid executing a subselect if the query
has been killed. Cutting short any problems caused by failures
during the optimization phase.

sql/item_subselect.cc:
  Do not execute a subselect if the session or query has been killed.

NULL column for NULL

The optimization to read MIN() and MAX() values from an
index did not properly handle comparisons with NULL
values. Fixed by giving up the particular optimization step
if there are non-NULL safe comparisons with NULL values, as 
the result is NULL anyway.

Also, Oracle copyright notice was added to all files.

Base Tables

The type inferrence of a view column caused the result to be
interpreted as the wrong type: DATE colums were interpreted
as TIME and TIME as DATETIME. This happened because view
columns are represented by Item_ref objects as opposed to
Item_field's. Item_ref had no method for retrieving a TIME
value and thus was forced to depend on the default
implementation for any expression, which caused the
expression to be evaluated as a string and then parsed into
a TIME/DATETIME value.

Fixed by letting Item_ref classes forward the request for a
TIME value to the referred Item - which is a field in this
case - this reads the TIME value directly without
conversion.

Fix up function return value, it must return a double.

SunStudio
      
SunStudio compilers of late warn about methods that might hide
methods in base classes due to the use of overloading combined
with overriding. SunStudio also warns about variables defined
in local socpe or method arguments that have the same name as
a member attribute of the class.
      
This patch renames methods that might hide base class methods,
to make it easier both for humans and compilers to see what is
actually called. It also renames variables in local scope.

Parallel repair didn't poroperly update index cardinality
in certain cases.

When myisam_sort_buffer_size is not enough to store all
keys, index cardinality was updated before index was
actually written, when no index statistic is available.

(regression)

Problem was that partition pruning did not exclude the
last partition if the range was beyond it
(i.e. not using MAXVALUE)

Fix was to not include the last partition if the
partitioning function value was not within the partition
range.

SET autocommit=1 while XA transaction is active may
cause various side effects, including memory corruption
and server crash.

The problem is that SET autocommit=1 and further queries
attempt to commit local transaction, whereas XA transaction
is still active.

As local and XA transactions are mutually exclusive, this
patch forbids enabling autocommit mode while XA transaction
is active.

  Forbid enabling autocommit mode while XA transaction is

MySQL uses two source layouts when building : the bzr 
layout and the source package layout.
The previous fix for bug 35250 contained 1 change that is
valid for both modes and a number of changes that are valid
only for the bzr source layout.
The important thing was to fix the source package layout.
And for this the change in configure.in was sufficient.
It's not trivial (and not requested by this bug) to support 
VPATH builds from the bzr trees.
This is why the other changes are reverted and the change to
fix the VPATH build for source distributions is left intact.

The test case added in previous patch missed a RESET MASTER on
test start up. Without it, showing binary log contents can
sometimes show spurious entries from previously executed tests,
ultimately causing test failure - result mismatch.

The test file was added in:
revid:luis.soares@sun.com-20100224190153-k0bpdx9abe88uoo2

This patch also moves the test case into binlog_innodb_row.test
file. This way we avoid having yet another test file,
binlog_row_innodb_truncate.test, whose only purpose is to host
one test case. This had been actually suggested during original
patch review, but somehow the binlog_innodb_row was missed when
searching for a file to host the test case.

The problem was that UNINSTALL PLUGIN wasn't performing privilege
checks before removing a plugin. Any user (including users without 
any kind of privileges) could uninstall any plugin.

The solution is to verify if the user has the DELETE privilege for
the mysql.plugin table before uninstalling a plugin.

The problem is that Item_direct_view_ref which is inherited
from Item_ident updates orig_table_name and table_name with
the same values. The fix is introduction of new constructor
into Item_ident and up which updates orig_table_name and
table_name separately.
