Hello,

I was looking at whether column names used by EIS feature are consistent with
themselves and with ther parts of the server.

== Database / table / column names ==

There are a few naming conventions arready in use:

1. Old school:
mysql.columns_priv, tables_priv
  Db
  Table_name
  Column_name

2. SQL STANDARD ALL CAPS HELLO FROM 1970S:
information_schema.*  (tables, columns, indexes, index_statistics, etc)
  TABLE_CATALOG (always 'def')
  TABLE_SCHEMA
  TABLE_NAME
  COLUMN_NAME
  INDEX_NAME

3. InnoDB has its own convention:
mysql.innodb_table_stats, innodb_index_stats
  database_name
  table_name
  index_name

4. EITS feature will add:
mysql.column_stats, index_stats, table_stats
  db_name
  table_name
  column_name
  index_name

== Other ==

There are variables @@histogram_size, @@histogram_type.
mysql.column_stats has columns named hist_size, hist_type.


What's your opinion, should we make some renames to make things more
consistent?
 
BR
 Sergei
