Hi, Alpha version 5.05 of the BLOB streaming engine for MySQL has been released.
You can download the source code from http://www.blobstreaming.org/download. Documentation has also been updated . The BLOB Streaming Engine is a MySQL storage engine which enables the storage and streaming of BLOB data in and out of a MySQL database. For more details see: http://www.blobstreaming.org/documentation What's new in 5.05: * A 'C' API has been added for client applications. It provides all the basic functions needed to connect to the BLOB streaming engine and upload and download BLOBs efficiently. * A test client application has been added to the project to demonstrate the use of the new API. * Added discover table support for the engine's system tables. * Simplified the configuration: To configure the engine all you have to do is provide the path to the MySQL source tree (after building MySQL). All build options are taken from the MySQL build. * And of course there are assorted bug fixes, details of which are listed in the Changelog. Of special interest to other engine developers may be the way that I implemented 'discover tables'. I have created a very generic function that takes a structure similar to that used by schema plug-ins and generates the required 'frm' file. Implementation is contained in the file BSDiscover.cc and you can see how it is used in ha_mybs.cc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry Leslie -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
