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
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.
Change string->float conversion to delay division as long as possible.
This gives us more exact integer->float conversion for numbers of type '123.45E+02' (Bug #7740)
not default_charset_into. It fixes the
problem that in some cases numbers where
treated as CHAR(N), not as BINARY(N), e.g.
wrong 'charsetnr' when sent to the client side.
2. IFNULL didn't aggregate argument charsets
and collations, so IFNULL(1,'a') produced
a CHAR(N). Now produces a BINARY(N).
3. SELECT PROCEDURE ANALIZE now returns
BINARY columns, which is much better than it worked
previously: CHAR with the default character set.
But in the future it's worth to fix the fields
'Field_name' and 'Optimal_fieldtype' to use UTF8,
and 'Min_value' and 'Max_value' to inherit their charsets
from the original items. But it is not important,
and BINARY(N) is OK for now.
4. Tests were fixed accordingly. No new tests were
made, as the old onces cover everything.
