Very complex select statements can create temporary tables
that are too big to be represented as a MyISAM table.
This was not checked at table creation time, but only at
open time. The result was an attempt to delete the
"impossible" table.
But if the server is built --with-raid, MyISAM tries to
open the table before deleting the files. It needs to find
out if the table uses the raid support and how many raid
chunks there are. This is done with an open "for repair",
which will almost always succeed.
But in this case we have an "impossible" table. The open
failed. Hence the files were not deleted. Also the error
message was a bit unspecific.
I turned an open error in this situation into the assumption
of having no raid support on the table. Thus the normal data
file is tried to be deleted. This may however leave existing
raid chunks behind.
I also added a check in mi_create() to prevent the creation
of an "impossible" table. A more decriptive error message is
given in this case.
No test case. The required select statement is way too
large for the test suite. I added a test script to the
bug report.
Allow delete of crashed MyISAM tables
Fixed bug when BLOB was first part of key
Fixed bug when using result from CASE in GROUP BY
Fixed core-dump bug in monthname()
Optimized calling of check_db_name()
