- Max_index_length is supported by MyISAM and Aria tables.
- Temporary is a placeholder to signal that a table is a
temporary table. For the moment this is always "N", except
"Y" for generated information_schema tables and NULL for
views. Full temporary table support will be done in another task.
(No reason to have to update a lot of result files twice in a row)

MDEV-8960: Can't refer the same column twice in one ALTER TABLE
Problem was that if column was created in alter table when
it was refered again it was not tried to find from list
of current columns.
mysql_prepare_alter_table:
There is two cases
(1) If alter table adds a new column and then later alter
changes the field definition, there was no check from
list of new columns, instead an incorrect error was given.
(2) If alter table adds a new column and then later alter
changes the default, there was no check from list of
new columns, instead an incorrect error was given.

SQL Standard behavior for DROP COLUMN xxx RESTRICT:
* If a constraint (UNIQUE or CHECK) uses only the dropped column,
it's automatically dropped too. If it uses many columns - an error.
mysql_prepare_create_table fixed so it doesn't let duplicating
constraint names. Syntax for CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS added
and handled in mysql_alter_table.
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function
Patches for server and the Innodb engine.
Server is fixed so it does nothing if no indexes left to alter.
Innodb parser is fixed so it looks for the IF [NOT] EXISTS option in a string.
Another change is that it uses the index name for the internal dictionary.
Prior to that it only used the CONSTRAINT name for it.
includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
Syntax modified to allow statements:
ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP COLUMN
ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP INDEX
ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP FOREIGN KEY
ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP PARTITION
ALTER TABLE CHANGE COLUMN
ALTER TABLE MODIFY COLUMN
DROP INDEX
to have IF (NOT) EXISTS options.
Appropriate implementations added to mysql_alter_table().

TABLES IN INCORRECT ENGINE
PROBLEM:
CREATE/ALTER TABLE currently can move system tables like
mysql.db, user, host etc, to engines other than MyISAM. This is not
completely supported as of now, by mysqld. When some of system tables
like plugin, servers, event, func, *_priv, time_zone* are moved
to innodb, mysqld restart crashes. Currently system tables
can be moved to BLACKHOLE also!!!.
ANALYSIS:
The problem is that there is no check before creating or moving
a system table to some particular engine.
System tables are suppose to be residing in MyISAM. We can think
of restricting system tables to exist only in MyISAM. But, there could
be future needs of these system tables to be part of other engines
by design. For eg, NDB cluster expects some tables to be on innodb
or ndb engine. This calls for a solution, by which system
tables can be supported by any desired engine, with minimal effort.
FIX:
The solution provides a handlerton interface using which,
mysqld server can query particular storage engine handlerton for
system tables that it supports. This way each storage engine
layer can define their own system database and system tables.
The check_engine() function uses the new handlerton function
ha_check_if_supported_system_table() to check if db.tablename
provided in the DDL is supported by the SE.
Note: This fix has modified a test in help.test, which was moving
mysql.help_* to innodb. The primary intention of the test was not
to move them between engines.
