subselects into account
It is forbidden to use the SELECT INTO construction inside UNION statements
unless on the last SELECT of the union. The parser records whether it
has seen INTO or not when parsing a UNION statement. But if the INTO was
legally used in an outer query, an error is thrown if UNION is seen in a
subquery. Fixed in 5.0 by remembering the nesting level of INTO tokens and
mitigate the error unless it collides with the UNION.
The problem is that some DDL statements (ALTER TABLE, CREATE
TRIGGER, FLUSH TABLES, ...) when under LOCK TABLES need to
momentarily drop the lock, reopen the table and grab the write
lock again (using reopen_tables). When grabbing the lock again,
reopen_tables doesn't pass a flag to mysql_lock_tables in
order to ignore the impending global read lock, which causes a
assertion because LOCK_open is being hold. Also dropping the
lock must not signal to any threads that the table has been
relinquished (related to the locking/flushing protocol).
The solution is to correct the way the table is reopenned
and the locks grabbed. When reopening the table and under
LOCK TABLES, the table version should be set to 0 so other
threads have to wait for the table. When grabbing the lock,
any other flush should be ignored because it's theoretically
a atomic operation. The chosen solution also fixes a potential
discrepancy between binlog and GRL (global read lock) because
table placeholders were being ignored, now a FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK will properly for table with open placeholders.
It's also important to mention that this patch doesn't fix
a potential deadlock if one uses two GRLs under LOCK TABLES
concurrently.

This is a consolidation, to keep the functionality that is shared by all
SQL statements in one place in the server.
Currently this functionality includes:
- close_thread_tables()
- log_slow_statement().
After this patch and the subsequent patch for Bug#12713, it shall also include:
- ha_autocommit_or_rollback()
- net_end_statement()
- query_cache_end_of_result().
In future it may also include:
- mysql_reset_thd_for_next_command().
There were two problems when inferring the correct field types resulting from
UNION queries.
- If the type is NULL for all corresponding fields in the UNION, the resulting
type would be NULL, while the type is BINARY(0) if there is just a single
SELECT NULL.
- If one SELECT in the UNION uses a subselect, a temporary table is created
to represent the subselect, and the result type defaults to a STRING type,
hiding the fact that the type was unknown(just a NULL value).
Fixed by remembering whenever a field was created from a NULL value and pass
type NULL to the type coercion if that is the case, and creating a string field
as result of UNION only if the type would otherwise be NULL.
