The problem was that SHOW CREATE EVENT released all metadata locks
held by the current transaction. This made any exisiting savepoints
invalid, triggering the assert when ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT later
was executed.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure SHOW CREATE EVENT only
releases metadata locks acquired by the statement itself.
Test case added to event_trans.test.
when there are no up-to-date system tables to support it:
- initialize the scheduler before reporting "Ready for connections".
This ensures that warnings, if any, are printed before "Ready for
connections", and this message is not mangled.
- do not abort the scheduler if there are no system tables
- check the tables once at start up, remember the status and disable
the scheduler if the tables are not up to date.
If one attempts to use the scheduler with bad tables,
issue an error message.
- clean up the behaviour of the module under LOCK TABLES and pre-locking
mode
- make sure implicit commit of Events DDL works as expected.
- add more tests
Collateral clean ups in the events code.
