Based on contributed patch from Martin Friebe, CLA from 2007-02-24.
The parser lacked support for field sizes after signed long,
when it should extend to 2**32-1.
Now, we correct that limitation, and also make the error handling
consistent for casts.

floating point numbers
Some math functions did not check if the result is a valid number
(i.e. neither of +-inf or nan).
Fixed by validating the result where necessary and returning NULL in
case of invalid result.
Problem was that Field_bit used Field::hash() function that did not
know about using null-byte for storing bits.
Resulting in wrong length, which was caught by valgrind.
Solution: created a Field_bit::hash() that uses Field_bit::val_int()
and my_charset_bin-collation function hash_sort.
Also use the store function for platform independs
Server handles truncation for assignment of too-long values
into CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns in a different ways when the
truncated characters are spaces:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore end-space truncation;
2. TEXT columns post a truncation warning/error in the
non-strict/strict mode.
3. VARCHAR columns always post a truncation note in
any mode.
Space truncation processing has been synchronised over
CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns: current behavior of VARCHAR
columns has been propagated as standard.
Binary-encoded string/BLOB columns are not affected.
There were two problems when inferring the correct field types resulting from
UNION queries.
- If the type is NULL for all corresponding fields in the UNION, the resulting
type would be NULL, while the type is BINARY(0) if there is just a single
SELECT NULL.
- If one SELECT in the UNION uses a subselect, a temporary table is created
to represent the subselect, and the result type defaults to a STRING type,
hiding the fact that the type was unknown(just a NULL value).
Fixed by remembering whenever a field was created from a NULL value and pass
type NULL to the type coercion if that is the case, and creating a string field
as result of UNION only if the type would otherwise be NULL.
HOUR(), MINUTE(), ... returned spurious results when used on a DATE-cast.
This happened because DATE-cast object did not overload get_time() method
in superclass Item. The default method was inappropriate here and
misinterpreted the data.
Patch adds missing method; get_time() on DATE-casts now returns SQL-NULL
on NULL input, 0 otherwise. This coincides with the way DATE-columns
behave.
Also fixes similar bug in Date-Field now.
numbers into char fields" and bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of
exponent between Unix and Windows"
Rewrote the code that determines what 'precision' argument should be
passed to sprintf() to fit the string representation of the input number
into the field.
We get finer control over conversion by pre-calculating the exponent, so
we are able to determine which conversion format, 'e' or 'f', will be
used by sprintf().
We also remove the leading zero from the exponent on Windows to make it
compatible with the sprintf() output on other platforms.
command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.
No warning was generated when a TIMESTAMP with a non-zero time part
was converted to a DATE value. This caused index lookup to assume
that this is a valid conversion and was returning rows that match
a comparison between a TIMESTAMP value and a DATE keypart.
Fixed by generating a warning on such a truncation.
Refactoring code to add parameter to pack() and unpack() functions with
purpose of indicating if data should be packed in little-endian or
native order. Using new functions to always pack data for binary log
in little-endian order. The purpose of this refactoring is to allow
proper implementation of endian-agnostic pack() and unpack() functions.
Eliminating several versions of virtual pack() and unpack() functions
in favor for one single virtual function which is overridden in
subclasses.
Implementing pack() and unpack() functions for some field types that
packed data in native format regardless of the value of the
st_table_share::db_low_byte_first flag.
The field types that were packed in native format regardless are:
Field_real, Field_decimal, Field_tiny, Field_short, Field_medium,
Field_long, Field_longlong, and Field_blob.
Before the patch, row-based logging wrote the rows incorrectly on
big-endian machines where the storage engine defined its own
low_byte_first() to be FALSE on big-endian machines (the default
is TRUE), while little-endian machines wrote the fields in correct
order. The only known storage engine that does this is NDB. In effect,
this means that row-based replication from or to a big-endian
machine where the table was using NDB as storage engine failed if the
other engine was either non-NDB or on a little-endian machine.
With this patch, row-based logging is now always done in little-endian
order, while ORDER BY uses the native order if the storage engine
defines low_byte_first() to return FALSE for big-endian machines.
In addition, the max_data_length() function available in Field_blob
was generalized to the entire Field hierarchy to give the maximum
number of bytes that Field::pack() will write.
Fixed the usage of spatial data (and Point in specific) with
non-spatial indexes.
Several problems :
- The length of the Point class was not updated to include the
spatial reference system identifier. Fixed by increasing with 4
bytes.
- The storage length of the spatial columns was not accounting for
the length that is prepended to it. Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and thus increasing the storage
length)
- When creating the key image for comparison in index read wrong
key image was created (the one needed for and r-tree search,
not the one for b-tree/other search). Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and creating the correct kind of
image based on the index type).
The change_to_use_tmp_fields function leaves the orig_table member of an
expression's tmp table field filled for the new Item_field being created.
Later orig_table is used by the Field::make_field function to provide some
info about original table and field name to a user. This is ok for a field
but for an expression it should be empty.
The change_to_use_tmp_fields function now resets orig_table member of
an expression's tmp table field to prevent providing a wrong info to a user.
The Field::make_field function now resets the table_name and the org_col_name
variables when the orig_table is set to 0.
