when used in a VIEW.
The problem was that wrong function (create_tmp_from_item())
was used to create a temporary field for Item_func_sp.
The fix is to use create_tmp_from_field().
This bug is a symptom of the way handler's tables are managed. The
most different aspect, compared to the conventional behavior, is that
the handler's tables are long lived, meaning that their lifetimes are
not bounded by the duration of the command that opened them. For this
effect the handler code uses its own list (handler_tables instead of
open_tables) to hold open handler tables so that the tables won't be
closed at the end of the command/statement. Besides the handler_tables
list, there is a hash (handler_tables_hash) which is used to associate
handler aliases to tables and to refresh the tables upon demand (flush
tables).
The current implementation doesn't work properly with refreshed tables
-- more precisely when flush commands are issued by other initiators.
This happens because when a handler open or read statement is being
processed, the associated table has to be opened or locked and, for this
matter, the open_tables and handler_tables lists are swapped so that the
new table being opened is inserted into the handler_tables list. But when
opening or locking the table, if the refresh version is different from the
thread refresh version then all used tables in the open_tables list (now
handler_tables) are refreshed. In the "refreshing" process the handler
tables are flushed (closed) without being properly unlinked from the
handler hash.
The current implementation also fails to properly discard handlers of
dropped tables, but this and other problems are going to be addressed
in the fixes for bugs 31397 and 31409.
The chosen approach tries to properly save and restore the table state
so that no table is flushed during the table open and lock operations.
The logic is almost the same as before with the list swapping, but with
a working glue code.
The test case for this bug is going to be committed into 5.1 because it
requires a test feature only avaiable in 5.1 (wait_condition).
This actually, fix for the patch for bug-27354. The problem with
the patch was that Item_func_sp::used_tables() was updated, but
Item_func_sp::const_item() was not. So, for Item_func_sp, we had
the following inconsistency:
- used_tables() returned RAND_TABLE, which means that the item
can produce "random" results;
- but const_item() returned TRUE, which means that the item is
a constant one.
The fix is to change Item_func_sp::const_item() behaviour: it must
return TRUE (an item is a constant one) only if a stored function
is deterministic and each of its arguments (if any) is a constant
item.
were accidentally removed during a previous rototill of this
code. Fixes bug#27692.
While it can be argued we should strive to provide a 'secure by
default' installation, this happens to be the setup currently
documented in the manual as the default, so defer changes that
improve security out of the box to a co-ordinated effort later
on.
For now, make a note about the test databases and anonymous user
in mysql_install_db and recommend that mysql_secure_installation
be ran for users wishing to remove these defaults.

It's not possible to use WaitForSingleObject to wait
on a CRITICAL_SECTION, instead use the TryEnterCriticalSection function.

caused a few tests to fail because the thd->extra_lock wasn't being set to
NULL after the table was unlocked. This poses a serious problem because later
attempts to access thd->extra_lock (now a dangling pointer) will probably
result in a crash (undefined behavior) -- and that's what actually happens
in some test cases.
The solution is to set the select_create::m_plock pointee to NULL, which
means that thd->extra_lock is set to NULL when the lock data is not for a
temporary table.
When CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE .. SELECT is invoked from a stored function
which in turn is called from CREATE TABLE SELECT causes a memory leak
because the inner create temporary table overrides the outter extra_lock
reference when locking the table.
The solution is to simply not overrride the extra_lock by only using the
extra_lock for a non-temporary table lock.

This bug reveals two problems:
- the problem on the client side which was described originally;
- the problem in protocol / the server side: connection context
on client and server should be like after mysql_real_connect()
and be consistent. The server however just resets character
set variables to the global defaults.
The fix seems to be as follows:
- extend the protocol so that the client be able to send
character set information in COM_CHANGE_USER command;
- change the server so that it understands client character set
in the command;
- change the client:
- reset character set to the default value (which has been
read from the configuration);
- send character set in COM_CHANGE_USER command.
