Now when a table is dropped the statistics on the table is removed
from the statistical tables. If the table is altered in such a way
that a column is dropped or the type of the column is changed then
statistics on the column is removed from the table column_stat.
It also triggers removal of the statistics on the indexes who use
this column as its component.
Added procedures that changes the names of the tables or columns
in the statistical tables for.
These procedures are used when tables/columns are renamed.
Also partly re-factored the code that introduced the persistent
statistical tables.
Added test cases into statistics.test to cover the new code.
mysql.column_stat, mysql.table_stat for the type DECIMAL(12,4).
When cached the values from these columns are multiplied by factor 10^5
and stored as ulong numbers now.
Renamed the system variable optimizer_use_stat_tables to use_stat_tables.
This variable now has only 3 possible values:
'never', 'complementary', 'preferably'.
If the server has been launched with
--use-stat-tables='complementary'|'preferably'
then the statictics tables can be employed by the optimizer and by the
ANALYZE command.
the server crashed when running the query with persistent statistics
enabled.
The field KEY::read_stat.avg_frequency must be initialized to NULL
for the keys of temporary tables.
