/*
  MyISAM MERGE tables

  A MyISAM MERGE table is kind of a union of zero or more MyISAM tables.

  Besides the normal form file (.frm) a MERGE table has a meta file
  (.MRG) with a list of tables. These are paths to the MyISAM table
  files. The last two components of the path contain the database name
  and the table name respectively.

  When a MERGE table is open, there exists an TABLE object for the MERGE
  table itself and a TABLE object for each of the MyISAM tables. For
  abbreviated writing, I call the MERGE table object "parent" and the
  MyISAM table objects "children".

  A MERGE table is almost always opened through open_and_lock_tables()
  and hence through open_tables(). When the parent appears in the list
  of tables to open, the initial open of the handler does nothing but
  read the meta file and collect a list of TABLE_LIST objects for the
  children. This list is attached to the handler object as
  ha_myisammrg::children_l. The end of the children list is saved in
  ha_myisammrg::children_last_l.

  Back in open_tables(), handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_ADD_CHILDREN_LIST) is
  called. It updates each list member with the lock type and a back
  pointer to the parent TABLE_LIST object TABLE_LIST::parent_l. The list
  is then inserted in the list of tables to open, right behind the
  parent. Consequently, open_tables() opens the children, one after the
  other. The TABLE references of the TABLE_LIST objects are implicitly
  set to the open tables by open_table(). The children are opened as
  independent MyISAM tables, right as if they are used by the SQL
  statement.

  When all tables from the statement query list are open,
  handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_ATTACH_CHILDREN) is called. It "attaches" the
  children to the parent. All required references between parent and
  children are set up.

  The MERGE storage engine sets up an array with references to the
  low-level MyISAM table objects (MI_INFO). It remembers the state of
  the table in MYRG_INFO::children_attached.

  If necessary, the compatibility of parent and children is checked.
  This check is necessary when any of the objects are reopend. This is
  detected by comparing the current table def version against the
  remembered child def version. On parent open, the list members are
  initialized to an "impossible"/"undefined" version value. So the check
  is always executed on the first attach.

  The version check is done in myisammrg_attach_children_callback(),
  which is called for every child. ha_myisammrg::attach_children()
  initializes 'need_compat_check' to FALSE and
  myisammrg_attach_children_callback() sets it ot TRUE if a table
  def version mismatches the remembered child def version.

  The children chain remains in the statement query list until the table
  is closed or the children are detached. This is done so that the
  children are locked by lock_tables().

  At statement end the children are detached. At the next statement
  begin the open-add-attach sequence repeats. There is no exception for
  LOCK TABLES. The fresh establishment of the parent-child relationship
  before every statement catches numerous cases of ALTER/FLUSH/DROP/etc
  of parent or children during LOCK TABLES.

  ---

  On parent open the storage engine structures are allocated and initialized.
  They stay with the open table until its final close.

    This function adds a TABLE_LIST object for a MERGE child table to a
    list of tables in the parent handler object. It is called for each
    child table.

    The list of child TABLE_LIST objects is kept in the handler object
    of the parent for the whole life time of the MERGE table. It is
    inserted in the statement query list behind the MERGE parent
    TABLE_LIST object when the MERGE table is opened. It is removed from
    the statement query list at end of statement or at children detach.

    All memory used for the child TABLE_LIST objects and the strings
    referred by it are taken from the parent
    ha_myisammrg::children_mem_root. Thus they are all freed implicitly at
    the final close of the table.
