- Added better error messages when trying to open a table that can't be discovered or unpacked. The most likely cause of this is that it does not have any frm data, probably since it has been created from NdbApi or is a NDB system table.
- Separated functionality that was in ha_create_table_from_engine into two functions. One that checks if the table exists and another one that tries to create the table from the engine.
(For 4.1 tables old 'VARCHAR' fields are converted to true VARCHAR in the next ALTER TABLE)
This ensures that one can use MySQL 5.0 privilege tables with MySQL 4.1
1) fix so that missing blob tables don't prevent table from being
dropped
2) decrease size of blob part if record length exceeds max length
3) add test case for table wo/ corresponding blob table
4) init scan counters when sending scan_tabreq
added blob to test to see that blob tables don't show up in show tables
auto increment setting need not fetch blob tables (will otherwise generate error during table creation)
moved addBlobTables out of fetchGlobalTableImpl to get_local_table_info
changed addBlobTables to start from last column and break if all blobs added
also addBlobTables will return -1 if failed (typically getTable)
changed to using get_local_table_info with internal table name where applicable for efficiency
added option to get_local_table_info wether to fetch blob tables or not
getTable always fetches the blobtables
moved addBlobTables to get_local_table_info to always be called, even if main table goes to cache only
