GSoC (week 3)

Hello everyone,

I worked on InnoDB for this whole week. For each index of type
DICT_UNIQUE_HASH, an extra column is added after user defined columns and
before system defined columns.I have created new prtype(precise type) for
hash based columns.I have resolved some of the issues after debugging and
create table operation is working now.

Here is the list of main things I have done during this week.

1.added an extra hash column for each DICT_UNIQUE_HASH index

2.added an extra field in index which is mapped to hash column in a table.

3.modified some functions in row0ins.cc and row0mysql.cc to support a new
index type.


Regards,
Shubham
