UNION ALL queries are a subject of optimization introduced in MDEV-334
when creation of a temporary table is skipped.
While there is a check for this optimization in Explain_union::print_explain()
there was no such in Explain_union::print_explain_json(). This resulted in
printing irrelevant data like:
"union_result": {
"table_name": "<union2,3>",
"access_type": "ALL",
"r_loops": 0,
"r_rows": null
in case when creation of the temporary table was actually optimized out.
This commits adds a check whether the temporary table was actually created
during the UNION ALL processing and eliminates printing of the irrelevant data.
There were several places where a statement delimiter missed so
such statements were interpreted as multi-statements and expectedly failed
in PS mode. An appropriate statement delimiters have been added
to fix the issues. Addinitinally, the operators
--enable_prepare_warnings/--disable_prepare_warnings have been added
around statements that use depricated syntax SELECT INTO to don't
miss warnings.
TO_CHAR(expr, fmt)
- expr: required parameter, data/time/timestamp type expression
- fmt: optional parameter, format string, supports
YYYY/YYY/YY/RRRR/RR/MM/MON/MONTH/MI/DD/DY/HH/HH12/HH24/SS and special
characters. The default value is "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS"
In Oracle, TO_CHAR() can also be used to convert numbers to strings, but
this is not supported. This will gave an error in this patch.
Other things:
- If format strings is a constant, it's evaluated only once and if there
is any errors in it, they are given at once and the statement will abort.

Lots of optimizations and cleanups done as part of review
This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
This bug caused crashes of the server when processing queries with table
value constructors (TVC) that contained subqueries and were used itself as
subselects. For such TVCs the following transformation is applied at the
prepare stage:
VALUES (v1), ... (vn) => SELECT * FROM (VALUES (v1), ... (vn)) tvc_x.
This transformation allows to reduce the problem of evaluation of TVCs used
as subselects to the problem of evaluation of regular subselects.
The transformation is implemented in the wrap_tvc(). The code the function
to mimic the behaviour of the parser when processing the result of the
transformation. However this imitation was not free of some flaws. First
the function called the method exclude() that completely destroyed the
select tree structures below the transformed TVC. Second the function
used the procedure mysql_new_select to create st_select_lex nodes for
both wrapping select of the transformation and TVC. This also led to
constructing of invalid select tree structures.
The patch actually re-engineers the code of wrap_tvc().
