Description:
sql/client.c relies on format strings for sprintf output length limitation

How to repeat:
see internal info

Suggested fix:
use snprintf

Changed all sprintf() calls to my_snprintf(). All existing format strings include length limitations in 
the format specification, but this protects against anyone inadvertently changing those or adding 
a new translation missing such limitations.

No documentation change needed.
