When a too long field is used for a key, only a prefix part of the field is
used. Length is reduced to the max key length allowed for storage. But if the
field have a multibyte charset it is possible to break multibyte char
sequence. This leads to the failed assertion in the innodb code and
server crash when a record is inserted.
The make_prepare_table() now aligns truncated key length to the boundary of
multibyte char.
- Fixed tests
- Optimized new code
- Fixed some unlikely core dumps
- Better bug fixes for:
- #14397 - OPTIMIZE TABLE with an open HANDLER causes a crash
- #14850 (ERROR 1062 when a quering a view using a Group By on a column that can be null
Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT, Version for 5.0.
Extended the unique table check by a check of lock data.
Merge sub-tables cannot be detected by doing name checks only.
Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT, Version for 4.1.
INSERT ... SELECT with the same table on both sides (hidden
below a MERGE table) does now work by buffering the select result.
The duplicate detection works now after open_and_lock_tables()
on the locks.
I did not find a test case that failed without the change in
sql_update.cc. I made the change anyway as it should in theory
fix a possible MERGE table problem with multi-table update.

Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() and create_tmp_field_from_item()
was converting string field to blob depending on byte-wise length instead of
character length, which results in converting valid varchar string with
length == 86 to longtext.
Made that functions above take into account max width of character when
converting string fields to blobs.
1.) Added a new option to mysql_lock_tables() for ignoring FLUSH TABLES.
Used the new option in create_table_from_items().
It is necessary to prevent the SELECT table from being reopend.
It would get new storage assigned for its fields, while the
SELECT part of the command would still use the old (freed) storage.
2.) Protected the CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... SELECT commands
against a global read lock. This prevents a deadlock in
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in conjunction with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
and avoids the creation of new tables during a global read lock.
3.) Replaced set_protect_against_global_read_lock() and
unset_protect_against_global_read_lock() by
wait_if_global_read_lock() and start_waiting_global_read_lock()
in the INSERT DELAYED handling.
