Description:
Hi,

While experimenting with a CodeSonar plugin we develop, we noticed a potential bug in file "sql/sql_partition.cc" line 1483 function "set_up_partition_func_pointers":

DBUG_ASSERT(part_info->get_partition_id);
      if (!part_info->column_list)
      {
        part_info->get_part_partition_id_charset= part_info->get_partition_id;
        part_info->get_part_partition_id= get_part_id_charset_func_part;             //HERE
      }
    }

In the marked line, should be set the "get_partition_id" field (instead of get_part_partition_id)?

Regards,
Petru Mihancea

Hi!

Actually, I think that you are right. Not only that, it seems to me that both lines of the code are wrong.

It is also irrelevant that this part of code will be deprecated in the future It is yet unknown as to when exactly.

So, verified ...
