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.
