This bug in Field_string::cmp resulted in a wrong comparison
with keys in partial indexes over multi-byte character fields.
Given field a is declared as
a varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci
INDEX(a(4)) gives us an example of such an index.
Wrong key comparisons could lead to wrong result sets if
the selected query execution plan used a range scan by
a partial index over a utf8 character field.
This also caused wrong results in many other cases.
The INSERT DELAYED should not maintain its own private auto-increment
counter, because this is assuming that other threads cannot insert
into the table while the INSERT DELAYED thread is inserting, which is
a wrong assumption.
So the start of processing of a batch of INSERT rows in the
INSERT DELAYED thread must be treated as a start of a new statement
and cached next_insert_id must be cleared.
can lead to a wrong result.
All date/time functions has the STRING result type thus their results are
compared as strings. The string date representation allows a user to skip
some of leading zeros. This can lead to wrong comparison result if a date/time
function result is compared to such a string constant.
The idea behind this bug fix is to compare results of date/time functions
and data/time constants as ints, because that date/time representation is
more exact. To achieve this the agg_cmp_type() is changed to take in the
account that a date/time field or an date/time item should be compared
as ints.
This bug fix is partially back ported from 5.0.
The agg_cmp_type() function now accepts THD as one of parameters.
In addition, it now checks if a date/time field/function is present in the
list. If so, it tries to coerce all constants to INT to make date/time
comparison return correct result. The field for the constant coercion is
taken from the Item_field or constructed from the Item_func. In latter case
the constructed field will be freed after conversion of all constant items.
Otherwise the result is same as before - aggregated with help of the
item_cmp_type() function.
From the Item_func_between::fix_length_and_dec() function removed the part
which was converting date/time constants to int if possible. Now this is
done by the agg_cmp_type() function.
The new function result_as_longlong() is added to the Item class.
It indicates that the item is a date/time item and result of it can be
compared as int. Such items are date/time fields/functions.
Correct val_int() methods are implemented for classes Item_date_typecast,
Item_func_makedate, Item_time_typecast, Item_datetime_typecast. All these
classes are derived from Item_str_func and Item_str_func::val_int() converts
its string value to int without regard to the date/time type of these items.
Arg_comparator::set_compare_func() and Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func()
functions are changed to substitute result type of an item with the INT_RESULT
if the item is a date/time item and another item is a constant. This is done
to get a correct result of comparisons like date_time_function() = string_constant.
There was a wrong determination of the DB name (witch is
not always the one in TABLE_LIST because derived tables
may be calculated using temp tables that have their db name
set to "").
The fix determines the database name according to the type
of table reference, and calls the function check_access()
with the correct db name so the correct set of grants is found.

Problem:
There was a wrong context assigned to the columns that were added in insert_fields()
when expanding a '*'. When this is done in a prepared statement it causes
fix_fields() to fail to find the table that these columns reference.
Actually the right context is set in setup_natural_join_row_types() called at the
end of setup_tables(). However when executed in a context of a prepared statement
setup_tables() resets the context, but setup_natural_join_row_types() was not
setting it to the correct value assuming it has already done so.
Solution:
The top-most, left-most NATURAL/USING join must be set as a
first_name_resolution_table in context even when operating on prepared statements.
The st_lex::which_check_option_applicable() function controls for which
statements WITH CHECK OPTION clause should be taken into account. REPLACE and
REPLACE_SELECT wasn't in the list which results in allowing REPLACE to insert
wrong rows in a such view.
The st_lex::which_check_option_applicable() now includes REPLACE and
REPLACE_SELECT in the list of statements for which WITH CHECK OPTION clause is
applicable.
To calculate its max_length the CONCAT() function is simply sums max_lengths
of its arguments but when the collation of an argument differs from the
collation of the CONCAT() max_length will be wrong. This may lead to a data
truncation when a tmp table is used, in UNIONS for example.
The Item_func_concat::fix_length_and_dec() function now recalculates the
max_length of an argument when the mbmaxlen of the argument differs from the
mbmaxlen of the CONCAT().
fix: return db name for I_S.TABLES(and others) in original letter case.
if mysql starts with lower_case_table_names=1 | 2 then original db name is converted
to lower case(for I_S tables). It happens when we perform add_table_to_list.
to avoid this we make a copy of original db name and use the copy hereafter.
The bug report revealed two problems related to min/max optimization:
1. If the length of a constant key used in a SARGable condition for
for the MIN/MAX fields is greater than the length of the field an
unwanted warning on key truncation is issued;
2. If MIN/MAX optimization is applied to a partial index, like INDEX(b(4))
than can lead to returning a wrong result set.
