Merge fix
partition_mgm did not require have_symlink.
Moved the test case to partition_symlink, which
require have_symlink, and should work on both *nix and
Windows
partitioned table
Post-pushbuild fix
Pushbuild detected a new need for lex initialization in
embedded server.
Fixed test for INSERT DELAYED in partitions_hash.test so that
it works with embedded server.
Problem: the table's INDEX and DATA DIR was taken
directly from the table's first partition.
This allowed rename attack similar to
bug#32111 when ALTER TABLE REMOVE PARTITIONING
Solution: Silently ignore the INDEX/DATA DIR
for the table. (Like some other storage engines
do).
Partitioned tables do not support DATA/INDEX
DIR on the table level, only on its partitions.
RENAME TABLE against a table with DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY overwrites
the file to which the symlink points.
This is security issue, because it is possible to create a table with
some name in some non-system database and set DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY
to mysql system database. Renaming this table to one of mysql system
tables (e.g. user, host) would overwrite the system table.
Return an error when the file to which the symlink points exist.
Disabling and enabling indexes on a non-empty table grows the
index file.
Disabling indexes just sets a flag per non-unique index and does not
free the index blocks of the affected indexes. Re-enabling indexes
creates new indexes with new blocks. The old blocks remain unused
in the index file.
Fixed by dropping and re-creating all indexes if non-empty disabled
indexes exist when enabling indexes. Dropping all indexes resets
the internal end-of-file marker to the end of the index file header.
It also clears the root block pointers of every index and clears the
deleted blocks chains. This way all blocks are declared as free.
partitioned table
Trying INSERT DELAYED on a partitioned table, that has not been
used right before, crashes the server. When a table is used for
select or update, it is kept open for some time. This period I
mean with "right before".
Information about partitioning of a table is stored in form of
a string in the .frm file. Parsing of this string requires a
correctly set up lexical analyzer (lex). The partitioning code
uses a new temporary instance of a lex. But it does still refer
to the previously active lex. The delayd insert thread does not
initialize its lex though...
Added initialization for thd->lex before open table in the delayed
thread and at all other places where it is necessary to call
lex_start() if all tables would be partitioned and need to parse
the .frm file.
"ALTER SERVER can cause server to crash"
While retrieving values, it would erronously set the socket value
to NULL and attempt to use it in strcmp().
Ensure it is correctly set to "" so that strcmp may not crash.
Fulltext boolean mode phrase search may crash server on platforms
where size of pointer is not equal to size of unsigned integer
(in other words some 64-bit platforms).
The problem was integer overflow.
Affects 4.1 only.

ucs2 doesn't provide required by fulltext ctype array. Crash
happens because fulltext attempts to use unitialized ctype
array.
Fixed by converting ucs2 fields to compatible utf8 analogue.
causes the Server to crash.
Accessing partitioned table with an apostrophe in partition options
like DATA DIRECTORY, INDEX DIRECTORY or COMMENT causes server crash.
Partition options were saved in .frm file without escaping.
When accessing such table it is not possible to properly restore
partition information.
Crashed because there was no check for partition info parser failure.
Fixed by escaping quoted text in the partition info when writing it to
the frm-file and added a check that it was able to parse the partition
info before using it
NOTE: If the comment is written by an earlier version of the server,
the corrupted frm-file is not fixed, but left corrupted, you have to
manually drop the table and recreate it.
