Re: [Maria-developers] GSOC 14: Discussion on GIS enhancements to MariaDB
Hi, Abhishek. You can look here for the possible tasks. https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5813 They're lower-medium complexity meaning coding scills. Of course one needs to familiarize oneself with the subject. Best regards.

Spoj: abhi170893 (over 100 problems) The ideas page mentions C as the required skill and I am good at coding in C. Also on the ideas page not much is written about the project. Where can i get more details about it..? what things should i explore first before trying for this project..? the complexity level..? the competition involved..?Do i need to fix bugs first..? If yes, their links..?

[Maria-developers] Intermediate status for test cases merge
Hi! So far I processed 431 test cases from the main suite. Most of them are up to date, a few merged without problems, a few tests fail (bugs reported), a few need extra analysis. There are a few items which I'd like to discuss: - INSERT DELAYED is deprecated in 5.6, do we want to deprecate it too? - SHOW PROFILE is deprecated in 5.6, do we want to deprecate it too? - YEAR(2) is deprecated in 5.6, do we want to deprecate it too? Monty suggests that we shouldn't deprecate it. I find it Ok too. Reasons for YEAR(2) deprecation are not obvious, relevant worklog is private. Relevant revision comment says: YEAR(2) is a subject to deprecation since it has ill design. - EXPLAIN gives NULL in Extra column in 5.6 (empty string in 10.0), do we want behave similarly? - Do we want to merge fix for BUG#60269 - mysql should reject attempts to create system tables in incorrect engine http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=60269 - NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION is default mode in 5.6 now, do we want it be default too? - 5.6 has many updates to default values, do we like to merge them too?

Re: [Maria-developers] Maria DB project aspirant for GSoC 2014 : CREATE OR REPLACE, CREATE IF NOT EXISTS, and DROP IF EXISTS
Hi, Siddharth! First: please send questions like this to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net it's a public mailing list dedicated to MySQL and MariaDB internals, source code, and related things. I am subscribed, so I'll see you mail there, and you may be sure I will, because it won't be accidentally catched by my spam filter, or sorted out in some obscure folder. Furthermore other subscribers will see your question and could reply if I will be not available (e.g. I could be travelling). Thank you.

Do I need to work on something and show? No, this is not required, but if you do it'll be a bonus point for you - you'll get familiar with MariaDB source code and would be able to write a better proposal. Everything you have to do and how you should move forward is written at the GSoC site.

[Maria-developers] TokuDB Performance Regression (MDEV-5777)
I'm very concerned about the regression I reported in https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5777, as users of the MariaDB.org supplied builds of both 5.5 and 10.0 are getting substantially less throughput than the MariaDB 5.5 build supplied by us at tokutek.com. I see that the fix version is now 5.5.37 and 10.0.10, is there a plan for how that will get done? I'll assist if possible, I just don't know how I can. -Tim Callaghan (Tokutek) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
