Version:	5.1.6	OS:	Any (all)
Assigned to:	Reggie Burnett	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:

 mysql> show variables like '%partition%';  
 +-----------------------+-------+
  | Variable_name         | Value |
  +-----------------------+-------+
  | have_partition_engine | NO    |
  +-----------------------+-------+

Since partitioning is not an engine, it should not have _engine on it's name.

How to repeat:

 mysql> show variables like '%partition%';

Please assign this to me for documentation when a fix is ready. Thanks.

Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 5.1.6-alpha-debug
