- The testcase create a .frm file consisting of "junk". Unfortunately the "junk" wasn't
written to the .frm file if mysql_client_test was run with -s option to make it run silent.
This most likely caused the file never to be created on windows, and thus the
test case failed.
This fix is cancellation of ChangeSet

Bug 7142 Show Fields from fails using Borland's dbExpress interface
The reason is we can't fix bug#7142 without
breaking of existing applications/APIs that worked fine with earlier 4.1
bug 7142 is fixed in 5.0
create_tmp_field_from_item() was creating tmp field without regard to
original field type of Item. This results in wrong type being reported to
client.
To create_tmp_field_from_item() added special handling for Items with
DATE/TIME field types to preserve their type.
No separate typecode for MEDIUMTEXT/LONGTEXT is added, as we
have no sound decision yet what typecodes and for what types are
sent by the server (aka what constitutes a distinct type in MySQL).
The problem here is that columns that have an especially long type
such as an enum type with many options would be longer than 40 chars
but the type column returned from show columns always was defined
as varchar(40).
This is fixed in 5.0 using info schema.
reset mysql->net.last_error": the solution is to clear
MYSQL->net error before performing COM_CLOSE: if the call
succeeds, the connection is usable for other statements.
More comprehensive fix is to clear MYSQL->net for all
recoverable errors at the time they happen, it will be
implemented in 5.0 as it introduces incompatibility in behavior.
- renamed the tests that use the embedded server (client_test ->
mysql_client_test_embedded, mysqltest -> mysql_test_embedded
and changed some Makefiles and scripts so they are installed in $bindir
(required to be able to run the test suite against the embedded server)
