correctly in some cases".
In short, calls to a stored function located in another database
than the default database, may fail to replicate if the call was made
by SET, SELECT, or DO.
Longer: when a stored function is called from a statement which does not go
to binlog ("SET @a=somedb.myfunc()", "SELECT somedb.myfunc()",
"DO somedb.myfunc()"), this crafted statement is binlogged:
"SELECT myfunc();" (accompanied with a mention of the default database
if there is one). So, if "somedb" is not the default database,
the slave would fail to find myfunc(). The fix is to specify the
function's database name in the crafted binlogged statement, like this:
"SELECT somedb.myfunc();". Test added in rpl_sp.test.
The optimizer removes expressions from GROUP BY/DISTINCT
if they happen to participate in a <expression> = <const>
predicates of the WHERE clause (the idea being that if
it's always equal to a constant it can't have multiple
values).
However for predicates where the expression and the
constant item are of different result type this is not
valid (e.g. a string column compared to 0).
Fixed by additional check of the result types of the
expression and the constant and if they differ the
expression don't get removed from the group by list.
The function mi_get_pointer_length() computed too small
pointer size for very large tables.
Inserted missing 'else' between the branches for very
large tables.
This bug appeared after the patch for bug 21390 that had added some code
to handle outer joins with no matches after substitution of a const
table in an efficient way. That code as it is cannot be applied to the case
of nested outer join operations. Being applied to the queries with
nested outer joins the code can cause crashes or wrong result sets.
The fix blocks row substitution for const inner tables of an outer join
if the inner operand is not a single table.
With MySQL 3.23 and 4.0, the syntax 'LIMIT N, -1' is accepted, and returns
all the rows located after row N. This behavior, however, is not the
intended result, and defeats the purpose of LIMIT, which is to constrain
the size of a result set.
With MySQL 4.1 and later, this construct is correctly detected as a syntax
error.
This fix does not change the production code, and only adds a new test case
to improve test coverage in this area, to enforce in the test suite the
intended behavior.

Multi-table delete that is optimized with QUICK_RANGE reports table
corruption.
DELETE statement must not use KEYREAD optimization, and sets
table->no_keyread to 1. This was ignored in QUICK_RANGE optimization.
With this fix QUICK_RANGE optimization honors table->no_keyread
value and does not enable KEYREAD when it is requested.
When only one row was present, the subtraction of nearly the same number
resulted in catastropic cancellation, introducing an error in the
VARIANCE calculation near 1e-15. That was sqrt()ed to get STDDEV, the
error was escallated to near 1e-8.
The simple fix of testing for a row count of 1 and forcing that to yield
0.0 is insufficient, as two rows of the same value should also have a
variance of 0.0, yet the error would be about the same.
So, this patch changes the formula that computes the VARIANCE to be one
that is not subject to catastrophic cancellation.
In addition, it now uses only (faster-than-decimal) floating point numbers
to calculate, and renders that to other types on demand.
An update that used a join of a table to itself and modified the
table on one side of the join reported the table as crashed or
updated wrong rows.
Fixed by creating temporary table for self-joined multi update statement.
