-------------------
1. I changed the database test1 (dropped + created in SP test)
   to test4.
   Please adjust the SP test cases.
2. There is a difference between my definition of
       innodb_tb4 + memory_tb4
   to the latest table definition used by disha.
   Please adjust the table definition if needed.
3. The data load files are product of the Disha data generation script
   (downloaded ~20 May ?) + modified by Omer
   These load data fit fairly to the table definitions.

4. How to execute the "small" test with 10 rows per table.
   Do NOT set the environment variable NO_REFRESH to a
   value <> ''.
   Start the test for example by
   ./mysql-test-run.pl --vardir=/dev/shm/var \
              --force --suite=funcs_1 --do-test=myisam
   The "result" files fit mostly to this variant.

   Any database not in ('mysql','test') and any tables
   needed within a testcase ( t/<storage engine>_<test filed>.test )
   will be (re)created at the beginning of the test.

5. How to execute the "big" test with many rows per table.
   Replace the directories
     suite/funcs_1/data   and
     suite/funcs_1/r
   with the appropriate ones for the "big" test.
   Set the environment variable NO_REFRESH to a value <> ''.
   Start the test for example by
   ./mysql-test-run.pl --vardir=/dev/shm/var \
              --force --suite=funcs_1 --do-test=myisam

   All databases and tables will be (re)created by the script
   <storage engine>__load.test  .

6. I am not sure of the files
   ./funcs_1/include/create_<whatever>.inc
   are in the moment needed. I included them, because I
   guess my VIEW testcase example needs them.

I guess the pushed files are far away from being perfect.
It is a 8 hours hack.
Please try them, create missing files and come up with improvements.

Good luck !

---------------
1. Changed the structure of the memory_tb3 table to include two
   additional column f121, f122. These columns exist for the table in
   the other storage engines as TEXT. Since memory does not support
   TEXT, Disha did not include them. How ever I am using them in the
   Trigger tests so added them to the memory definition as CHAR(50);.
   Also modifyed the DataGen_modiy.pl file to account for these two
   column when generating the data.
   - checked in a new DataGen_modify.pl (create a 'lib' directory
     under 'funcs_1').
   - checked in a new memory_tb3.txt
2. Added three <storage>_triggers.test files based on Matthias's
   structure above.
3. Added three <storage>__triggers.result files
4. Added the Trigger_master.test file in the trigger dierctory
   Note: This is not complete and is still under work
5. Created a 'lib' directory and added the DataGen*.pl scripts to it
   (exists under the disha suite) but should be here as well).

   Replace the geometry data types by VARBINARY
   The removal of the geometry data types was necessary, because the
   execution of the funcs_1 testsuite should not depend on the
   availability of the geometry feature.
   Note: There are servers compiled without the geometry feature.

   The columns are not removed, but their data type was changed
   VARBINARY. This allows us to omit any changes within the loader
   input files or data generation scripts.
   The replacement of geometry by VARCHAR allows us to use our

   The results of the <storage_engine>_views testcases suffer when
   executed in "--ps-protocol" mode from the open
   Bug#11589: mysqltest, --ps-protocol, strange output,
              float/double/real with zerofill  .
   Implementation of a workaround:
     At the beginning of views_master.inc is a variable $have_bug_11589 .
     If this varable is set to 1, the ps-protocol will be switched
     of for the critical statements.

------------------
1. The results of the datadict_<engine> testcases have been changed in nearly 
   all occurrencies of --error <n> because now for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA only 
   the --error 1044 (ERROR 42000: Access denied for user '..' to database 
   'information_schema') seems to be used.
2. To get identical results when using "--ps-protocol" some SELECTs FROM 
   information_schema has been wrapped to suppress using ps-protocol because 
   there are differences.
3. The test using SELECT .. OUTFILE has been disabled due to bug #13202.
4. Fixed datadict_<engine>.result files after the change that added 2 columns to 
   the VIEWS table (DEFINER varchar(77), SECURITY_TYPE varchar(7)).
