When building the UPDATE query to send to the remote server, the
federated storage engine built the query incorrectly if it was updating
a field to be NULL.
Thanks to Bjrn Steinbrink for an initial patch for the problem.

Changes to a test with a update to a table with 1001 columns, the last being a blob.
On HP, the test worked properly, but on other OSs, there's a problem with using the
blob column in an update where clause. The field method val_string(String *, char *)
should work, but doesn't seem to deal with blobd, and for some reason, cannot get
the correct value of the blob column from the byte pointer in update_row, "*old_data"
which is a byte pointer to the row in mysql format, that will be replaced with
"*new_data" (which conveniently has a field pointer to use to get values from).
Will document this.
Konstja and Georg, change sets 1.1806, 1.1805. These changes has been successfully
tested on both my own workstation (Suse 9.0) and production.mysql.com.
Patch #2, all coding style changes per Kostja's review
(as requested to keep style changes separate from functionality changes),
as well as changes to the test suit to no longer use hard-coded port
values in foreign table creation statement
This patch contains all that my previous patch (1.1814) contained, with the addition of using cli_fetch_lengths for
handling binary data (Bar noted this on the review of 1.1814, Guilhem suggested using cli_fetch_lenghts by
making available via removal of static in method definition and declaration in mysql.h, but
Konstantin had some reservations, but he said to commit the patch using this anyway,
and I suppose this can be discussed. I abandoned 1.1814 because Monty made a couple
fixes to my code as well as formatting changes, and I thought it would just be easier
to hand-edit my changes into a fresh clone and then make a patch.
The reason for using cli_fetch_lengths is so that I can correctly get the length of
the field I am setting into the field. I was previously using 'strlen' but Bar pointed out this
won't correctly get the length of binary data and is also less effecient. Upon testing,
it was in fact verified that binary data in a blob table was being inserted correctly,
but not being retrieved correctly, all due to not having the correct value for the
field:
(*field)->store(row[x], strlen(row[x]), &my_charset_bin);
was changed to:
(*field)->store(row[x], lengths[x], &my_charset_bin);
lengths being a unsigned long pointer to the values of the field lengths from a
MYSQL_ROW.
Since the server doesn't have the function "mysql_fetch_lengths" available, I tried
to use "result->lengths", but this isn't set, so I finally successfully used
cli_fetch_lenghts, which does give the correct lengths, and now the binary data gets
retrieved correctly.
I've also run the code through indent-ex and am using Brian's vimrc to ensure correct formatting!
This code passes the entire test suite, without any errors or warning on both my
workstation and build.mysql.com
-New tests and results
logging_ok:
Logging to logging@openlogging.org accepted
ha_federated.h:
removed quote_data and type_quote (now in the Field class)
ha_federated.cc:
moved quote_data and type_quote to field class
field.h:
new methods quote_data and needs_quotes declared
field.cc:
new field class methods quote_data and needs_quotes (per Monty's request)
federated.test:
more tests, joins, index tests
have_federated_db.require:
new name of federated system var
federated.result:
new test results for federated handler
have_federated_db.inc:
changed name of variable in test due to change in vars
sql_analyse.cc:
over-ridden append_escaped to take (String *, char *, uint) per requirements of 'create_where_from_key' method in federated handler.
mysql_priv.h:
define over-ridden append_escaped to take arguments from 'create_where_from_key' method in federated handler
ha_federated.cc:
implemented "create_where_from_key" to deal properly with two-byte prefix and multi keys. Initial testing shows it works, but I still need to move quoting to field class and also look at changes per Segei's suggestions.
