testsuite funcs_1
1. Fix the following bugs
Bug#30440 "datadict" tests (all engines) fail: Character sets depend on configuration
Solution: Test variants charset_collation_* adjusted to different builds
Bug#32603 "datadict" tests (all engines) fail in "community" tree: "PROFILING" table
Solution: Excluding "PROFILING" table from queries
Bug#33654 "slow log" is missing a line
Solution: Unify the content of the fields TABLES.TABLE_ROWS and
STATISTICS.CARDINALITY within result sets
Bug#34532 Some funcs_1 tests do not clean up at end of testing
Solution: DROP objects/reset global server variables modified during testing
+ let tests missing implementation end before loading of tables
Bug#31421 funcs_1: ndb__datadict fails, discrepancy between scripts and expected results
Solution: Cut <engine>__datadict tests into smaller tests + generate new results.
Bug#33599 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS got a new column INDEX_COMMENT: tests fail (2)
Generation of new results during post merge fix
Bug#33600 CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH is now CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH * 4
Generation of new results during post merge fix
Bug#33631 Platform-specific replace of CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH broken by 4-byte encoding
Generation of new results during post merge fix
+ removal of platform-specific replace routine (no more needed)
2. Restructure the tests
- Test not more than one INFORMATION_SCHEMA view per testscript
- Separate tests of I_S view layout+functionality from content related to the
all time existing databases "information_schema", "mysql" and "test"
- Avoid storage engine related variants of tests which are not sensible to
storage engines at all.
3. Reimplement or add some subtests + cleanup
There is a some probability that even the reviewed changeset
- does not fix all bugs from above or
- contains new bugs which show up on some platforms <> Linux or on one of
the various build types
4. The changeset contains fixes according to
- one code review
- minor bugs within testing code found after code review (accepted by reviewer)
- problems found during tests with 5.0.56 in build environment
