Version for 4.1. Committed for merge.
If the result table is one of the select tables in INSERT SELECT,
we must not disable the result tables indexes before selecting.
mysql_execute_command() detects the match for other reasons and
adds the flag OPTION_BUFFER_RESULT to the 'select_options'.
In this case the result is put into a temporary table first.
Hence, we can defer the preparation of the insert
table until the result is to be used.
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
The problem was that when a QUICK_SELECT access method is chosen,
test_if_skip_sort_order() discovered that the index being used
by the quick select will not deliver tuples in sorted order.
In this case test_if_skip_sort_order() tried to change the index
used by the quick select, but it didn't properly set the other
members of the quick select, and especially the range flags of
the ranges in QUICK_SELECT::ranges.
The fix re-invokes the function SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select
to correctly create a valid QUICK_SELECT object.
This fixed a bug in prepared statements when used with outher joins
Fixed a bug in SUM(DISTINCT) when used with prepared statements.
Some safety fixes in test scripts to ensure that previous test failures shouldn't affect other tests
Add support for VARCHAR with 1 or 2 length bytes
Enable VARCHAR packing in MyISAM files (previous patch didn't pack data properly)
Give error if we got problems in temporary tables during a SELECT
Don't use new table generated by ALTER TABLE if index generation fails
Fixed wrong call by range_end() (Could cause an ASSERT in debug mode)
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
