Change LAST_EXECUTED time the execution start time, instead of the execution completion time. This ensures the END time always the same or later than the LAST_EXECUTED time.
Problem: when alter to partitioned table,
it does not see it as change of engine.
Solution: If alter includes partitioning, check if it is possible
to change engines (eg. is the table referenced by a FK)
numbers into char fields" and bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of
exponent between Unix and Windows"
Rewrote the code that determines what 'precision' argument should be
passed to sprintf() to fit the string representation of the input number
into the field.
We get finer control over conversion by pre-calculating the exponent, so
we are able to determine which conversion format, 'e' or 'f', will be
used by sprintf().
We also remove the leading zero from the exponent on Windows to make it
compatible with the sprintf() output on other platforms.
1. A bad error message was given when a MERGE table with an
InnoDB child table was tried to use.
2. After selecting from a correct MERGE table and then altering
one of the children to InnoDB, incorrect results were returned.
These bugs have been fixed with the patch for bug 26379 (Combination
of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE corrupts a MERGE table).
For verification, I added the test case from the bug report.
Parser rejects valid INTERVAL() expressions when associated with
arithmetic operators. The problem is the way in which the expression
and interval grammar rules were organized caused shift/reduce conflicts.
The solution is to tweak the interval rules to avoid shift/reduce
conflicts by removing the broken interval_expr rule and explicitly
specify it's content where necessary.

The following clarification should be made in The Manual:
Standard SQL is quite clear that, if new columns are added
to a table after a view on that table is created with
"select *", the new columns will not become part of the view.
In all cases, the view definition (view structure) is frozen
at CREATE time, so changes to the underlying tables do not
affect the view structure.
This bug is actually two bugs in one, one of which is CREATE TRIGGER under
LOCK TABLES and the other is CREATE TRIGGER under LOCK TABLES simultaneous
to a FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK (global read lock). Both situations could
lead to a server crash or deadlock.
The first problem arises from the fact that when under LOCK TABLES, if the
table is in the set of locked tables, the table is already open and it doesn't
need to be reopened (not a placeholder). Also in this case, if the table is
not write locked, a exclusive lock can't be acquired because of a possible
deadlock with another thread also holding a (read) lock on the table. The
second issue arises from the fact that one should never wait for a global
read lock if it's holding any locked tables, because the global read lock
is waiting for these tables and this leads to a circular wait deadlock.
The solution for the first case is to check if the table is write locked
and upgraded the write lock to a exclusive lock and fail otherwise for non
write locked tables. Grabbin the exclusive lock in this case also means
to ensure that the table is opened only by the calling thread. The second
issue is partly fixed by not waiting for the global read lock if the thread
is holding any locked tables.
The second issue is only partly addressed in this patch because it turned
out to be much wider and also affects other DDL statements. Reported as
Bug#32395
Kill of a CREATE TABLE source_table LIKE statement waiting for a
name-lock on the source table causes a bad lock interaction.
The mysql_create_like_table() has a bug that if the connection is
killed while waiting for the name-lock on the source table, it will
jump to the wrong error path and try to unlock the source table and
LOCK_open, but both weren't locked.
The solution is to simple return when the name lock request is killed,
it's safe to do so because no lock was acquired and no cleanup is needed.
Original bug report also contains description of other problems
related to this scenario but they either already fixed in 5.1 or
will be addressed separately (see bug report for details).
