Continued implementation of WL#1324 (table name to filename encoding) The intermediate (not temporary) files of the new table during ALTER TABLE was visible for SHOW TABLES. These intermediate files are copies of the original table with the changes done by ALTER TABLE. After all the data is copied over from the original table, these files are renamed to the original tables file names. So they are not temporary files. They persist after ALTER TABLE, but just with another name. In 5.0 the intermediate files are invisible for SHOW TABLES because all file names beginning with "#sql" were suppressed. This failed since 5.1.6 because even temporary table names were converted when making file names from them. The prefix became converted to "@0023sql". Converting the prefix during SHOW TABLES would suppress the listing of user tables that start with "#sql". The solution of the problem is to continue the implementation of the table name to file name conversion feature. One requirement is to suppress the conversion for temporary table names. This change is straightforward for real temporary tables as there is a function that creates temporary file names. But the generated path names are located in TMPDIR and have no relation to the internal table name. This cannot be used for ALTER TABLE. Its intermediate files need to be in the same directory as the old table files. And it is necessary to be able to deduce the same path from the same table name repeatedly. Consequently the intermediate table files must be handled like normal tables. Their internal names shall start with tmp_file_prefix (#sql) and they shall not be converted like normal table names. I added a flags parameter to all relevant functions that are called from ALTER TABLE. It is used to suppress the conversion for the intermediate table files. The outcome is that the suppression of #sql in SHOW TABLES works again. It does not suppress user tables as these are converted to @0023sql on file level. This patch does also fix ALTER TABLE ... RENAME, which could not rename a table with non-ASCII characters in its name. It does also fix the problem that a user could create a table like `#sql-xxxx-yyyy`, where xxxx is mysqld's pid and yyyy is the thread ID of some other thread, which prevented this thread from running ALTER TABLE. Some of the above problems are mentioned in Bug 1405, which can be closed with this patch. This patch does also contain some minor fixes for other forgotten conversions. Still known problems are reported as bugs 21370, 21373, and 21387.
