Re: [HACKERS] GSoC 2015: Introduction and Doubt regarding a Project.
Hello Peter, 1. As I did some research on this project, I found *date_trunc() supporting intervals *was suggested last year but not selected as a GSoC project. Is it being floated this year too(as mentioned on the GSoC 2015 wiki page of Postgres)? If yes, what are the exact expected outputs? It seems to me that that would be too small for a GSoC project. I agree, but I saw the project mentioned on the GSoC wiki page of Postgres, and that's why I was curious to know the expected outputs, because if it was considered to be floated as a GSoC project, there must be something more than just what the title depicts. --Hitesh
[HACKERS] GSoC 2015: Introduction and Doubt regarding a Project.
Hello, I introduced myself on the pgsql-students list but just to introduce here too, my name is Hitesh Ramani, I'm a student of Hyderabad Central University, Hyderabad, India. Currently I'm pursuing a project in PostgreSQL as my Post Graduation project hence I've hacked into the Postgres code a lot of times to add some functionalities to it, specifically to the sorting code. I'm also familiar with the query processing and backend internals. I had a few doubts, which I need to ask and start on the proposal as soon as possible because the applications have opened. 1. As I did some research on this project, I found date_trunc() supporting intervals was suggested last year but not selected as a GSoC project. Is it being floated this year too(as mentioned on the GSoC 2015 wiki page of Postgres)? If yes, what are the exact expected outputs? 2. Can I send a proposal for 2 projects to Postgres itself? Out of which one can be taken forward. 3. Does PG Strom take care of sorting as well on the GPUs? Thanks and Regards,Hitesh Ramani
