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.

Using MAX()/MIN() on table with disabled indexes (by ALTER TABLE)
results in error 124 (wrong index) from storage engine.
The problem was that optimizer use disabled index to optimize
MAX()/MIN(). Normally it must skip disabled index and perform
table scan.
This patch skips disabled indexes for min/max optimization.
fails randomly.
The problem is that the test was affected by other running
test-suites on the same box. The fix affects the test only,
no code touched.

The function check_one_table_access() called to check access to tables in
SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE was doing additional checks/modifications that don't hold
in the context of setup_tables_and_check_access().
That's why the check_one_table() was split into two : the functionality needed by
setup_tables_and_check_access() into check_single_table_access() and the rest of
the functionality stays in check_one_table_access() that is made to call the new
check_single_table_access() function.
The problem appeared because the same values produced different hash
during INSERT and SELECT for VARCHAR data type.
Fix:
VARCHAR required special treatment to avoid hashing of length bytes
(leftmost one or two bytes) as well as trailing bytes beyond real length,
which could contain garbage. Fix is done by introducing hash() - new method
in the Field class.
The length of the prefix of the pattern string in the LIKE predicate that
determined the index range to be scanned was calculated incorrectly for
multi-byte character sets.
As a result of this in 4. 1 the the scanned range was wider then necessary
if the prefix contained not only one-byte characters.
In 5.0 additionally it caused missing some rows from the result set.
function crashes server".
Attempts to execute prepared multi-delete statement which involved trigger or
stored function caused server crashes (the same happened for such statements
included in stored procedures in cases when one tried to execute them more
than once).
The problem was caused by yet another incorrect usage of check_table_access()
routine (the latter assumes that table list which it gets as argument
corresponds to value LEX::query_tables_own_last). We solve this problem by
juggling with LEX::query_tables_own_last value when we call
check_table_access() for LEX::auxilliary_table_list (better solution is too
intrusive and should be done in 5.1).
