Обсуждение: Ideas input sought for this year's SOC page
Hackers, We need to update the SoC page: http://www.postgresql.org/developer/summerofcode ... with new ideas and projects appropriate for PostgreSQL 8.4/8.5. Please make suggestions. Thanks! --Josh

Let me look at what's new on the TODO, but I'd also like to see some of the last SoC projects improved, like xlogdump/xlogviewer and some of the standby stuff. We should also ask Simon if he has anything he'd like to see done, because he usually has some pretty good ideas for projects in the realm of SoC. -- Jonah H.

Thanks! > > --Josh > On last year's summer of code page,http://www.postgresql.org/developer/summerofcode There is the following item: * DDL Functions*: Create a SQL-callable function capable of generating DDL scripts for objects within the database. Is there more information available on this? Has anything like this been implemented? I believe SQL standard does not specify such functions. What functions and parameters? What other functionality is required? I have a usable implementation of this functionality, but it needs some more work before it is released. Here is some info:http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/DDL_Functions Currently it is a part of larger utility package, but I would very much like release it as a stand alone project on pgfoundry. The plan is is to review current functions and move them to a separate namespace before release. This is a good time to make API changes. Suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you Z.

Several our TODO items (http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/wiki/TODO) can be good gSOC project, for example, research on picksplit algorithm for intarray, ltree, text search.

Can we add a project to implement advanced and matrix mathematics in PG, with transparency between arrays and matrices/vectors? A GSL, BLAS, LAPACK set of hooks, with operators? I realize there is the excellent plr project, but to be honest I hate the R programming language and I think we could really use something simpler and implemented more directly. (If I were a real programmer, I would take it on, but I can't see being able to follow through on it.) > > Many of these items could be suitable: > http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/XML_Todo > > > > -- > Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers >

How about optimizing the SQL used by pgsnmpd, as well as extending it to support traps? -- Jonah H.
