Hi,

> Simple way is show table status; there is a column Type : value MRG_MyISAM
is the base table.

No, that's not what I meant -- I meant, the merge
table uses a UNION clause to get signal where it
get it's data from.

Where can I get the sources for the merge table?
That is, what is used in the UNION clause when
creating it.
