- Moved the definitions of the classes to store data from persistent
statistical tables into statistics.h, leaving in other internal
data structures only references to the corresponding objects.
- Defined class Column_statistics_collected derived from the class
Column_statistics. This is a helper class to collect statistics
on columns.
- Moved references to read statistics to TABLE SHARE, leaving the
the reference to the collected statistics in TABLE.
- Added a new clone method for the class Field allowing to clone
fields attached to table shares. It was was used to create
fields for min/max values in the memory of the table share.
A lso:
- Added procedures to allocate memory for statistical data in
the table share memory and in table memory.
Also:
- Added a test case demonstrating how ANALYZE could work in parallel
to collect statistics on different indexes of the same table.
- Added a test two demonstrate how two connections working
simultaneously could allocate memory for statistical data in the
table share memory.
