New (compact) DECIMAL format support at create_defs.pl and print_data.c

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I needed some changes to treat DECIMAL by innodb-recovery-0.3.tar.gz

In the output of create_defs.pl,
I think the (NEW)DECIMAL field has not enough information.

 1. type: FT_CHAR  should be  FT_DECIMAL

 2. decimal_precision: and decimal_digits:


In addition, the space padded output may be verbose in some cases.
So, I have changed print_data.c as,
    bin2decimal((char*)value, &dec, field->decimal_precision,
field->decimal_digits);
//    decimal2string(&dec, string_buf, &len, field->decimal_precision,
field->decimal_digits, ' ');
    decimal2string(&dec, string_buf, &len, 0,0,0);
    print_string(string_buf, len, field);

Best regards,
Yasufumi
