Summary 0000707: SQL Error during usage of "Re-build Multilanguage Fields" functionality
Description In MySQL 5.x versions output format of "DESCRIBE" sql statement has changed. In particular it returns "NULL" instead of default column value even for "NOT NULL" fields, that were added to table without specifying actual default value.

That have raised a problem in 3 system places:
1. unit config "Fields" array validator (enable "DBG_VALIDATE_CONFIGS" in "debug.php" and press "Reset Configs Cache" in "System Tools" section.
2. unit config "Fields" array builder (enter table name into "Table Structure" input in "System Tools" section and press "Run" near it)
3. "Re-build Multilanguage Fields" functionality (button in "System Tools" section).

In all mentioned above places NOT NULL fields can have NULL as default value and this can lead to SQL fatal error.

For items "1." and "2." I propose to guess default value using following rule:
 * NULL for fields, that can be NULL
 * empty string for textual fields
 * 0 for numeric fields

For "3." item I propose to omit "DEFAULT ..." statement from "ALTER TABLE ..." database query when we have retrieved "NULL" as default value for "NOT NULL" field.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information In global scale phpMyAdmin displays "None", when "DEFAULT ..." statement was omitted during table creation/column adding. When we have default value, then it is used. When we don't have default value, then default value will be:

    * NULL for fields, that can be NULL
    * empty string for textual fields
    * 0 for numeric fields

We need to updated following places to reflect that:

    * remove "DEFAULT ..." statement from "install_schema.sql" file, when it matches default value auto-assigned from previous list
    * update unit config validator to support ommited "DEFAULT ..." statements
    * update translatable field auto-creator (partially what Sergey posted) to skip "DEFAULT ..." in ALTER TABLE statements, when field's default value matches the one, that MySQL will use automatically


This all can be successfully done based on DESCRIBE results. Omitted "DEFAULT ..." statement is shown differently on DESCRIBE sql only since 5.x version of MySQL. Although omitted "DEFAULT ..." statement was allowed in 4.x version of MySQL too, but DESCRIBE showed actual default value, what MySQL will use for NOT NULL fields and not NULL as 5.x MySQL does.
Tags No tags attached.

2nd patch includes 1st patch.

Additionally following was made:
1. default value comparison of integer columns wasn't working (e.g. "-1" and "0" were assumed to be equals)
2. check for missing virtual field for each calculated field added


Both additions discovered several inconsistencies in unit configs, but they won't be fixed in context of this task. Probably they will be fixed in one of the related tasks.
