  @file ha_example.cc

  @brief
  The ha_example engine is a stubbed storage engine for example purposes only;
  it does almost nothing at this point. Its purpose is to provide a source
  code illustration of how to begin writing new storage engines; see also
  storage/example/ha_example.h.

  Additionally, this file includes an example of a daemon plugin which does
  nothing at all - absolutely nothing, even less than example storage engine.
  But it shows that one dll/so can contain more than one plugin.

  @details
  ha_example will let you create/open/delete tables, but
  nothing further (for example, indexes are not supported nor can data
  be stored in the table). It also provides new status (example_func_example)
  and system (example_ulong_var and example_enum_var) variables.

  Use this example as a template for implementing the same functionality in
  your own storage engine. You can enable the example storage engine in your
  build by doing the following during your build process:<br> ./configure
  --with-example-storage-engine

  Once this is done, MySQL will let you create tables with:<br>
  CREATE TABLE <table name> (...) ENGINE=EXAMPLE;

  The example storage engine is set up 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 when it is using that
  table.

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

  @note
  When you create an EXAMPLE table, the MySQL Server creates a table .frm
  (format) file in the database directory, using the table name as the file
  name as is customary with MySQL. No other files are created. To get an idea
  of what occurs, here is an example select that would do a scan of an entire
  table:

  @code
  ha_example::store_lock
  ha_example::external_lock
  ha_example::info
  ha_example::rnd_init
  ha_example::extra
  ENUM HA_EXTRA_CACHE        Cache 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 caching of records (def)
  ha_example::external_lock
  ha_example::extra
  ENUM HA_EXTRA_RESET        Reset database to after open
  @endcode

  Here you see that the example storage engine has 9 rows called before
  rnd_next signals that it has reached the end of its data. Also note that
  the table in question was already opened; had it not been open, a call to
  ha_example::open() would also have been necessary. Calls to
  ha_example::extra() are hints as to what will be occuring to the request.

  A Longer Example can be found called the "Skeleton Engine" which can be 
  found on TangentOrg. It has both an engine and a full build environment
  for building a pluggable storage engine.

  Happy coding!<br>

  @brief
  The idea with handler::store_lock() is: The statement decides which locks
  should be needed for the table. For updates/deletes/inserts we get WRITE
  locks, for SELECT... we get read locks.

  @details
  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 are still allowing other
  readers and writers).

  When releasing locks, store_lock() is 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.

  Called from lock.cc by get_lock_data().

  @note
  In this method one should NEVER rely on table->in_use, it may, in fact,
