/**
 * @class NdbDictionary
 * @brief Data dictionary class
 * 
 * The preferred and supported way to create and drop tables and indexes
 * in ndb is through the 
 * MySQL Server (see MySQL reference Manual, section MySQL Cluster).
 *
 * Tables and indexes that are created directly through the 
 * NdbDictionary class
 * can not be viewed from the MySQL Server.
 * Dropping indexes directly via the NdbApi will cause inconsistencies
 * if they were originally created from a MySQL Cluster.
 * 
 * This class supports schema data enquiries such as:
 * -# Enquiries about tables
 *    (Dictionary::getTable, Table::getNoOfColumns, 
 *    Table::getPrimaryKey, and Table::getNoOfPrimaryKeys)
 * -# Enquiries about indexes
 *    (Dictionary::getIndex, Index::getNoOfColumns, 
 *    and Index::getColumn)
 *
 * This class supports schema data definition such as:
 * -# Creating tables (Dictionary::createTable) and table columns
 * -# Dropping tables (Dictionary::dropTable)
 * -# Creating secondary indexes (Dictionary::createIndex)
 * -# Dropping secondary indexes (Dictionary::dropIndex)
 *
 * NdbDictionary has several help (inner) classes to support this:
 * -# NdbDictionary::Dictionary the dictionary handling dictionary objects
 * -# NdbDictionary::Table for creating tables
 * -# NdbDictionary::Column for creating table columns
 * -# NdbDictionary::Index for creating secondary indexes
 *
 * See @ref ndbapi_simple_index.cpp for details of usage.

   * size of 12 bytes plus the actual data storage parts where there is an

   * An example table with 5 attributes: 
   * one 64 bit attribute, one 32 bit attribute, 
   * two 16 bit attributes and one array of 64 8 bits. 
   * This table will consume 
   * 12 (overhead) + 8 + 4 + 2*4 (4 is minimum) + 64 = 96 bytes per record.
   * Additionally an overhead of about 2 % as page headers and waste should 
   * be allocated. Thus, 1 million records should consume 96 MBytes
   * plus the overhead 2 MByte and rounded up to 100 000 kBytes.<br>
