The previous variant where it was a specific ha_partition method
only worked for the partition handler. It was unfortunately called also
for the NDB handler and in this case it called a random method in the
NDB handler with random input.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
large table gives server crash": make sure that when a MyISAM temporary
table is created for a cursor, it's created in its memory root,
not the memory root of the current query.

sql_table.cc, handler.h:
Fixed bug #14540.
Added error mnemonic code HA_ADMIN_NOT_BASE_TABLE
to report that an operation cannot be applied for views.
view.test, view.result:
Added a test case for bug #14540.
errmsg.txt:
Fixed bug #14540.
Added error ER_CHECK_NOT_BASE_TABLE.
Handlerton array is now created instead of using sys_table_types_st. All storage engines can now have inits and giant ifdef's are now gone for startup. No compeltely clean yet, handlertons will next be merged with sys_table_types. Federated and archive now have real cleanup if their inits fail.
"SELECT ... FOR UPDATE executed as consistent read inside LOCK TABLES"
Do not discard lock_type information as handler::start_stmt() may require knowledge.
(fixed by Antony)
The alias structure now is a bit more simple and just uses a pointer to replace with the currect name. The giant case statement should go away in the next patch.
cursors. This should fix Bug#11813 when InnoDB part is in
(tested with a draft patch).
The idea of the patch is that if a storage engine supports
consistent read views, we open one when open a cursor,
set is as the active view when fetch from the cursor, and close
together with cursor close.
The idea of the patch
is that every cursor gets its own lock id for table level locking.
Thus cursors are protected from updates performed within the same
connection. Additionally a list of transient (must be closed at
commit) cursors is maintained and all transient cursors are closed
when necessary. Lastly, this patch adds support for deadlock
timeouts to TLL locking when using cursors.
+ post-review fixes.
