Bug #47551	ndb_select_count usage does not say where the table names go

Description:
[ja155679@asator03:test] /test/install/mysql-5.1-telco-7.0/bin/ndb_select_count                    
Usage: /test/install/mysql-5.1-telco-7.0/bin/ndb_select_count [OPTIONS]

(none of the options mention table names)

Online documentation:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-programs-ndb-select-count.html
ndb_select_count [-c connect_string] -ddb_name tbl_name[, tbl_name2[, ...]]

How to repeat:
./bin/ndb_select_count

Suggested fix:
Usage: /test/install/mysql-5.1-telco-7.0/bin/ndb_select_count [OPTIONS] table_name [table_name2]...

I'm a bit confused by the argument specification in select_count.cpp
as "database", "parallelism" and "lock" all seem to be mandatory?

  { "database", 'd', "Name of database table is in",
    (uchar**) &_dbname, (uchar**) &_dbname, 0,
    GET_STR, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
  { "parallelism", 'p', "parallelism",
    (uchar**) &_parallelism, (uchar**) &_parallelism, 0,
    GET_INT, REQUIRED_ARG, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
  { "lock", 'l', "Read(0), Read-hold(1), Exclusive(2)",
    (uchar**) &_lock, (uchar**) &_lock, 0,
    GET_INT, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 },

Hi,

Issues with the docs that you want me to fix should be filed as Server:Docs; otherwise, I might never see them.

Lead for Docs bugs should be Stefan Hinz. 

Updated category and lead.

I've corrected the 'Usage' shown in the documentation: http://lists.mysql.com/commits/89637

Now for the part of this that needs to be fixed in the app itself...

Set Assignee/Category/Status/Lead to Unassigned/Server:Cluster/Verified/BOcklin.
