In practice this means that handlerton is now created by the server and is passed to the engine. Plugin startups can now also control how plugins are inited (and can optionally pass values). Bit more flexibility to those who want to write plugin interfaces to the database.
There is an existing macros for initializing LEX_STRINGs
with constant strings -> C_STRING_WITH_LEN. Change existing code to use it.

Continued implementation of WL#1324 (table name to filename encoding)
The intermediate (not temporary) files of the new table
during ALTER TABLE was visible for SHOW TABLES. These
intermediate files are copies of the original table with
the changes done by ALTER TABLE. After all the data is
copied over from the original table, these files are renamed
to the original tables file names. So they are not temporary
files. They persist after ALTER TABLE, but just with another
name.
In 5.0 the intermediate files are invisible for SHOW TABLES
because all file names beginning with "#sql" were suppressed.
This failed since 5.1.6 because even temporary table names were
converted when making file names from them. The prefix became
converted to "@0023sql". Converting the prefix during SHOW TABLES
would suppress the listing of user tables that start with "#sql".
The solution of the problem is to continue the implementation of
the table name to file name conversion feature. One requirement
is to suppress the conversion for temporary table names.
This change is straightforward for real temporary tables as there
is a function that creates temporary file names.
But the generated path names are located in TMPDIR and have no
relation to the internal table name. This cannot be used for
ALTER TABLE. Its intermediate files need to be in the same
directory as the old table files. And it is necessary to be
able to deduce the same path from the same table name repeatedly.
Consequently the intermediate table files must be handled like normal
tables. Their internal names shall start with tmp_file_prefix
(#sql) and they shall not be converted like normal table names.
I added a flags parameter to all relevant functions that are
called from ALTER TABLE. It is used to suppress the conversion
for the intermediate table files.
The outcome is that the suppression of #sql in SHOW TABLES
works again. It does not suppress user tables as these are
converted to @0023sql on file level.
This patch does also fix ALTER TABLE ... RENAME, which could not
rename a table with non-ASCII characters in its name.
It does also fix the problem that a user could create a table like
`#sql-xxxx-yyyy`, where xxxx is mysqld's pid and yyyy is the thread
ID of some other thread, which prevented this thread from running
ALTER TABLE.
Some of the above problems are mentioned in Bug 1405, which can
be closed with this patch.
This patch does also contain some minor fixes for other forgotten
conversions. Still known problems are reported as bugs 21370,
21373, and 21387.
'conc_sys' test
Concurrent execution of SELECT involing at least two INFORMATION_SCHEMA
tables, DROP DATABASE statement and DROP TABLE statement could have
resulted in stalled connection for this SELECT statement.
The problem was that for the first query of a join there was a race
between select from I_S.TABLES and DROP DATABASE, and the error (no
such database) was prepared to be send to the client, but the join
processing was continued. On second query to I_S.COLUMNS there was a
race with DROP TABLE, but this error (no such table) was downgraded to
warning, and thd->net.report_error was reset. And so neither result
nor error was sent to the client.
The solution is to stop join processing once it is clear we are going
to report a error, and also to downgrade to warnings file system errors
like 'no such database' (unless we are in the 'SHOW' command), because
I_S is designed not to use locks and the query to I_S should not abort
if something is dropped in the middle.
No test case is provided since this bug is a result of a race, and is
timing dependant. But we test that plain SHOW TABLES and SHOW COLUMNS
give a error if there is no such database or a table respectively.
Fix for BUG#16676: Database CHARSET not used for stored procedures
The problem in BUG#16211 is that CHARSET-clause of the return type for
stored functions is just ignored.
The problem in BUG#16676 is that if character set is not explicitly
specified for sp-variable, the server character set is used instead
of the database one.
The fix has two parts:
- always store CHARSET-clause of the return type along with the
type definition in mysql.proc.returns column. "Always" means that
CHARSET-clause is appended even if it has not been explicitly
specified in CREATE FUNCTION statement (this affects BUG#16211 only).
Storing CHARSET-clause if it is not specified is essential to avoid
changing character set if the database character set is altered in
the future.
NOTE: this change is not backward compatible with the previous releases.
- use database default character set if CHARSET-clause is not explicitly
specified (this affects both BUG#16211 and BUG#16676).
NOTE: this also breaks backward compatibility.
The fix is: if user has privileges to view fields and user has any
(insert,select,delete,update) privileges on underlying view
then 'show fields' and select from I_S.COLUMNS table are sucsessful.
a non-correlated single-row subquery over information schema.
The function get_all_tables filling all information schema
tables reset lex->sql_command to SQLCOM_SHOW_FIELDS. After
this the function could evaluate partial conditions related to
some columns. If these conditions contained a subquery over
information schema it led to a wrong evaluation and a wrong
result set.
This bug was already fixed in 5.1.
This patch follows the way how it was done in 5.1 where
the value of lex->sql_command is set to SQLCOM_SHOW_FIELDS
in get_all_tables only for the calls of the function
open_normal_and_derived_tables and is restored after these
calls.
