When a CSV file contained comma separated elements
that were not enclosed in quotes, it was causing the
mysql server to crash.
The old algorithm that parsed the content of a row in
mysql 5.0 was assuming that the values of the fields
in a .CSV file will be enclosed in quotes and will be
separated by commas.
This was causing the old algorithm to fail when the
content of the file resembled the following
3,"sans quotes"
The CSV engine that is part of mysql 5.0 was expecting
the above to be
"3","sans quotes"
The above is just one example of where the engine was
failing for what would be recognized as a valid .CSV
file content otherwise.
The proposed fix changes the old algorithm being used
to parse rows from the .CSV file to handle two separate
cases
1) When the current field of the row is enclosed in quotes
2) When the current field of the row is not enclosed in
quotes

The bug is a combination of two problems:
1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.
2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.
It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.
This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.
Problem: Temporary buffer which is used for quoting and escaping
was initialized to character set utf8, and thus didn't allow
to store data in other character sets.
Fix: changing character set of the buffer to be able to
store any arbitrary sequence of bytes.

mmapped pages were not being invalidated when writes occurred to the

Force explicit invalidation and not rely on implicit invalidation.
Handlerton array is now created instead of using sys_table_types_st. All storage engines can now have inits and giant ifdef's are now gone for startup. No compeltely clean yet, handlertons will next be merged with sys_table_types. Federated and archive now have real cleanup if their inits fail.
cursors. This should fix Bug#11813 when InnoDB part is in
(tested with a draft patch).
The idea of the patch is that if a storage engine supports
consistent read views, we open one when open a cursor,
set is as the active view when fetch from the cursor, and close
together with cursor close.
The idea of the patch
is that every cursor gets its own lock id for table level locking.
Thus cursors are protected from updates performed within the same
connection. Additionally a list of transient (must be closed at
commit) cursors is maintained and all transient cursors are closed
when necessary. Lastly, this patch adds support for deadlock
timeouts to TLL locking when using cursors.
+ post-review fixes.
Now we use TABLE::timestamp_field_type instead of
TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now for determining
if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field during this operation.
We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time() instead of
handler::update_timestamp().
