Bug#57071: EXTRACT(WEEK from date_col) cannot be allowed as partitioning function
There were functions allowed as partitioning functions
that implicit allowed cast. That could result in unacceptable
behaviour.
Solution was to check that the arguments of date and time functions
have allowed types (field and date/datetime/time depending on function).
It was hard to understand what the error really meant.
The error checking in partitioning is done in several different
parts during the execution of a query which can make it
hard to return useful errors.
Added a new error for bad VALUES part in the per PARTITION clause.
Using the more verbose error that a column is not allowed in
the partitioning function instead of just that the function is
not allowed.

auto_increment on duplicate entry
The bug was that when INSERT_ID was used and the storage
engine was told to release any reserved but not used
auto_increment values, it set the highest auto_increment
value to INSERT_ID.
The fix was to check if the auto_increment value was forced
by user (INSERT_ID) or by slave-thread, i.e. not auto-
generated. So that it is only allowed to release generated
values.
timestamp primary key
Since TIMESTAMP values are adjusted by the current time zone
settings in both numeric and string contexts, using any
expressions involving TIMESTAMP values as a
(sub)partitioning function leads to undeterministic behavior of
partitioned tables. The effect may vary depending on a storage
engine, it can be either incorrect data being retrieved or
stored, or an assertion failure. The root cause of this is the
fact that the calculated partition ID may differ from a
previously calculated ID for the same data due to timezone
adjustments of the partitioning expression value.
Fixed by disabling any expressions involving TIMESTAMP values
to be used in partitioning functions with the follwing two
exceptions:
1. Creating or altering into a partitioned table that violates
the above rule is not allowed, but opening existing such tables
results in a warning rather than an error so that such tables
could be fixed.
2. UNIX_TIMESTAMP() is the only way to get a
timezone-independent value from a TIMESTAMP column, because it
returns the internal representation (a time_t value) of a
TIMESTAMP argument verbatim. So UNIX_TIMESTAMP(timestamp_column)
is allowed and should be used to fix existing tables if one
wants to use TIMESTAMP columns with partitioning.
with temporary table and partitions
It was possible to create temporary partitioned tables
via create table ... like ... (which is not allowed with
create temporary table). This lead to a new HA_EXTRA flag
(HA_EXTRA_MMAP) was sent to the partitioning handler,
which was caught on an assert in debug builds.
Solution was to check for partitioned tables when
doing create table ... like ... and disallow it.
Fixed a missed case in the patch for Bug#31931.
Also makes Bug#33722 a duplicate of Bug#31931.
Added tests for better coverage.
Replaced some legacy function calls.
Problem: there was no standard syntax error when
creating partitions with syntax error in
the partitioning clause.
Solution: added "Syntax error: " to the error message
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
