/*
  ha_example is a stubbed storage engine. It does nothing at this point. It
  will let you create/open/delete tables but that is all. You can enable it
  in your buld by doing the following during your build process:
  ./configure --with-example-storage-engine

  Once this is done mysql will let you create tables with:
  CREATE TABLE A (...) ENGINE=EXAMPLE;

  The example is setup to use table locks. It implements an example "SHARE"
  that is inserted into a hash by table name. You can use this to store
  information of state that any example handler object will be able to see
  if it is using the same table.

  Please read the object definition in ha_example.h before reading the rest
  if this file.

  To get an idea of what occurs here is an example select that would do a
  scan of an entire table:
  ha_example::store_lock
  ha_example::external_lock
  ha_example::info
  ha_example::rnd_init
  ha_example::extra
  ENUM HA_EXTRA_CACHE   Cash record in HA_rrnd()
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::rnd_next
  ha_example::extra
  ENUM HA_EXTRA_NO_CACHE   End cacheing of records (def)
  ha_example::external_lock
  ha_example::extra
  ENUM HA_EXTRA_RESET   Reset database to after open

  In the above example has 9 row called before rnd_next signalled that it was
  at the end of its data. In the above example the table was already opened
  (or you would have seen a call to ha_example::open(). Calls to
  ha_example::extra() are hints as to what will be occuring to the request.

  Happy coding!

  code:
  if (records < 2)
    records = 2;
  The reason is that the server will optimize for cases of only a single
  record. If in a table scan you don't know the number of records
  it will probably be better to set records to two so you can return
  as many records as you need.
  Along with records a few more variables you may wish to set are:
    records
    deleted
    data_file_length
    index_file_length
    delete_length
    check_time

  The idea with handler::store_lock() is the following:

  The statement decided which locks we should need for the table
  for updates/deletes/inserts we get WRITE locks, for SELECT... we get
  read locks.

  Before adding the lock into the table lock handler (see thr_lock.c)
  mysqld calls store lock with the requested locks.  Store lock can now
  modify a write lock to a read lock (or some other lock), ignore the
  lock (if we don't want to use MySQL table locks at all) or add locks
  for many tables (like we do when we are using a MERGE handler).

  Berkeley DB for example  changes all WRITE locks to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE
  (which signals that we are doing WRITES, but we are still allowing other
  reader's and writer's.

  When releasing locks, store_lock() are also called. In this case one
  usually doesn't have to do anything.

  In some exceptional cases MySQL may send a request for a TL_IGNORE;
  This means that we are requesting the same lock as last time and this
  should also be ignored. (This may happen when someone does a flush
  table when we have opened a part of the tables, in which case mysqld
  closes and reopens the tables and tries to get the same locks at last
  time).  In the future we will probably try to remove this.
