All static row handling is don in myisam/mi_static.c

Static rows are very simple;  All column data is just put after
eachother, where numbers are stored in low-byte format.

myisamchk -dvv filename.MYI

will give you a lot of information of how data is stored.
(Look at recordlength and field map)

Regards,
Monty
