Marko Mäkelä cffbb17480 MDEV-28933: Per-table unique FOREIGN KEY constraint names
Before MySQL 4.0.18, user-specified constraint names were ignored.
Starting with MySQL 4.0.18, the specified constraint name was
prepended with the schema name and '/'.  Now we are transforming
into a format where the constraint name is prepended with the
dict_table_t::name and the impossible UTF-8 sequence 0xff.
Generated constraint names will be ASCII decimal numbers.

On upgrade, old FOREIGN KEY constraint names will be displayed
without any schema name prefix. They will be updated to the new
format on DDL operations.

dict_foreign_t::sql_id(): Return the SQL constraint name
without any schemaname/tablename\377 or schemaname/ prefix.

row_rename_table_for_mysql(), dict_table_rename_in_cache():
Simplify the logic: Just rename constraints to the new format.

dict_table_get_foreign_id(): Replaces dict_table_get_highest_foreign_id().

innobase_get_foreign_key_info(): Let my_error() refer to erroneous
anonymous constraints as "(null)".

row_delete_constraint(): Try to drop all 3 constraint name variants.

MariaDB: The innovative open source database

MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.

MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.

MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.

MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
