The patch caused some test failures when merged to 5.5 because,
unlike 5.1, it utilizes Item_cache_row to actually cache row
values. The problem was that Item_cache_row::bring_value()
essentially did nothing. In particular, it did not update its
null_value, so all Item_cache_row objects were always having
their null_values set to TRUE. This went unnoticed previously,
but now when Arg_comparator::compare_row() actually depends on
the row's null_value to evaluate the comparison, the problem
has surfaced.

Fixed by calling the underlying item's bring_value() and
updating null_value in Item_cache_row::bring_value().

Since the problem also exists in 5.1 code (albeit hidden, since
the relevant code is not used anywhere), the addendum patch is
against 5.1.

            result

Row subqueries producing no rows were not handled as UNKNOWN
values in row comparison expressions.

That was a result of the following two problems:

1. Item_singlerow_subselect did not mark the resulting row
value as NULL/UNKNOWN when no rows were produced.

2. Arg_comparator::compare_row() did not take into account that
a whole argument may be NULL rather than just individual scalar
values.

Before bug#34384 was fixed, the above problems were hidden
because an uninitialized (i.e. without any stored value) cached
object would appear as NULL for scalar values in a row subquery
returning an empty result. After the fix
Arg_comparator::compare_row() would try to evaluate
uninitialized cached objects.

Fixed by removing the aforementioned problems.

      
The EXISTS transformation has additional switches to catch the known corner
cases that appear when transforming an IN predicate into EXISTS. Guarded
conditions are used which are deactivated when a NULL value is seen in the
outer expression's row. When the inner query block supplies NULL values,
however, they are filtered out because no distinction is made between the
guarded conditions; guarded NOT x IS NULL conditions in the HAVING clause that
filter out NULL values cannot be de-activated in isolation from those that
match values or from the outer expression or NULL's.

The above problem is handled by making the guarded conditions remember whether
they have rejected a NULL value or not, and index access methods are taking
this into account as well. 

The bug consisted of 

1) Not resetting the property for every nested loop iteration on the inner
   query's result.

2) Not propagating the NULL result properly from inner query to IN optimizer.

3) A hack that may or may not have been needed at some point. According to a
   comment it was aimed to fix #2 by returning NULL when FALSE was actually
   the result. This caused failures when #2 was properly fixed. The hack is
   now removed.

The fix resolves all three points.

multi-table UPDATE IGNORE.
The problem was that if there was an active SELECT statement
during trigger execution, an error risen during the execution
may cause a crash. The fix is to temporary reset LEX::current_select
before trigger execution and restore it afterwards. This way
errors risen during the trigger execution are processed as
if there was no active SELECT.

inited==INDEX

When an error occurs while sending the data in a temporary table there was no
cleanup performed. This caused a failed assertion in the case when different
access methods were used for populating the table vs. retrieving the data from
the table if IGNORE was specified and sql_safe_updates = 0. In this case
execution continues, but the handler expects to continue with the access
method used for row retrieval.

Fixed by doing the cleanup even if errors occur.

          case than in corr index".
      
Server was unable to find existing or explicitly created supporting
index for foreign key if corresponding statement clause used field
names in case different than one used in key specification and created
yet another supporting index.
In cases when name of constraint (and thus name of generated index)
was the same as name of existing/explicitly created index this led
to duplicate key name error.
      
The problem was that unlike all other code Key_part_spec::operator==()
compared field names in case sensitive fashion. As result routines
responsible for getting rid of redundant generated supporting indexes
for foreign key were not working properly for versions of field names
using different cases.

            == MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG

A MIN/MAX() function with a subquery as its argument could lead
to a debug assertion on debug builds or wrong data on release
ones.

The problem was a combination of the following factors:

- Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() might use the argument
(args[0]) to calculate 'hybrid_field_type' which was later used
to decide how the data should be sent to the client.

- Item_sum::make_field() might use the argument again to
calculate the field's type when sending result set metadata to
the client.

- The argument could be changed in between these two calls via
  Item::set_arg() leading to inconsistent metadata being
  reported.

Here is what was happening for the bug's test case:

1. Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() calculates hybrid_field_type
as MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG based on args[0] which is an
Item::SUBSELECT_ITEM at that time.

2. A temporary table is created to execute the
query. create_tmp_field_from_item() creates a Field_long object
according to the subselect's max_length.

3. The subselect item in Item_sum_hybrid is replaced by the
Item_field object referencing the newly created Field_long.

4. Item_sum::make_field() rightfully returns the
MYSQL_TYPE_LONG type when calculating the result set metadata.

5. When sending the actual data, Item::send() relies on the
virtual field_type() function which in our case returns
previously calculated hybrid_field_type == MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG.

It looks like the only solution is to never refer to the
argument's metadata after the result metadata has been
calculated in fix_fields(), since the argument itself may be
different by then. In this sense, Item_sum::make_field() should
never be used, because it may rely on the argument's metadata
and is only called after fix_fields(). The "default"
implementation in Item::make_field() should be used instead as
it relies only on field_type(), but not on the argument's type.

Fixed by removing Item_sum::make_field() so that the superclass
implementation Item::make_field() is always used.

After fix for bug 39653 the shortest available secondary index was used for
full table scan. Primary clustered key was used only if no secondary index
can be used. However, when chosen secondary index includes all fields of the
table being scanned it's better to use primary index since the amount of
data to scan is the same but the primary index is clustered.
Now the find_shortest_key function takes this into account.

Queries involving predicates of the form "const NOT BETWEEN
not_indexed_column AND indexed_column" could return wrong data
due to incorrect handling by the range optimizer.

For "c NOT BETWEEN f1 AND f2" predicates, get_mm_tree()
produces a disjunction of the SEL_ARG trees for "f1 > c" and
"f2 < c". If one of the trees is empty (i.e. one of the
arguments is not sargable) the resulting tree should be empty
as well, since the whole expression in this case is not
sargable.

The above logic is implemented in get_mm_tree() as follows. The
initial state of the resulting tree is NULL (aka empty). We
then iterate through arguments and compute the corresponding
SEL_ARG tree (either "f1 > c" or "f2 < c"). If the resulting
tree is NULL, it is simply replaced by the generated
tree. Otherwise it is replaced by a disjunction of itself and
the generated tree. The obvious flaw in this implementation is
that if the first argument is not sargable and thus produces a
NULL tree, the resulting tree will simply be replaced by the
tree for the second argument. As a result, "c NOT BETWEEN f1
AND f2" will end up as just "f2 < c".

Fixed by adding a check so that when the first argument
produces an empty tree for the NOT BETWEEN case, the loop is
aborted with an empty tree as a result. The whole idea of using
a loop for 2 arguments does not make much sense, but it was
probably used to avoid code duplication for several BETWEEN
variants.
