Description:

Description:
The following SELECT query should return "empty set" and returns ERROR 1048 ('column xx cannot be
null')

select t.a from t,u where t.a=u.b;
ERROR 1048: Column 'b' cannot be null

Tried with all possible myisam/innodb combinations :
t	u		Result
--------------------------------
myisam	innodb		ERROR 1048
innodb	myisam		Empty set
myisam	myisam		Empty set
innodb	innodb		Empty set

With above CREATES but without requiring b to be unique : Empty set.
With above CREATES but without requiring b to be NOT NULL : Empty set.
With above CREATES but with t non empty : Empty set.

Description:
The following SELECT query should return "empty set" and returns ERROR 1048 ('column xx cannot be
null')

How-To-Repeat:
CREATE TABLE t (
a varchar(10) character set latin1 NOT NULL default ''
) TYPE=MyISAM CHARSET=latin1;
CREATE TABLE u (
b varchar(10) character set latin1 NOT NULL default '',
UNIQUE (b)
) TYPE=InnoDB CHARSET=latin1;
select t.a from t,u where t.a=u.b;
ERROR 1048: Column 'b' cannot be null

Fixed by some interim push.
