Description:
It could be nice to have mysql create new tables under MERGE when the oldest reaches a predetermined MAXSIZE. As it is now, I have to periodically create new tables and manually add them to the .MRG file as they would become become too big for the filesys.

How to repeat:
It's not a bug

Suggested fix:
No fix. This is merely a suggestion.

Thank you for a feature request. 

Sorry, but any reorganization of tables and table structure is a sole task of the database administrator, not of the server. You can create a set of SQL statements that will drop the MERGE table and create it based on a new set of tables periodically. Nobody will do it for you, really.
