Hey:
This is an area where I hope/plan to be able to contribute.
It's my intention is to get a FS working on MySql and Oracle. I have no
experience with PostgreSQL.
About a month ago I asked a few questions as to where to start digging into
code. I then starting looking into what it would take.
I was pulled away for a while so I didn't do near enough research to size the
project. But it is a pretty large effort.
After getting over my own feelings of inadequacy, I decided that I could get
it done if I commited myself fully.
While I will be switching to Subversion from CVS for my internal code control,
this is not what I intend to use it for first.
A small introduction:
I am a developer/consultant. My partners are blueprinters. They provide me
with bandwidth, toys, and a legitimate company for any contracts I/we find for
me. In return, I am taking over their internal IT work. Blueprinting is not
what it used to be. It's all digital now. Consequently, we have 40-50GB of
drawings and growing daily. All the current document management solutions we
have looked at are expensive or don't have versioning. There are many more
details I won't bother to mention.
Anyway, when I stumbled across Subverison I really liked what I saw. So I
made a decision to make it work for me. I hope my future work will benefit
other Subversion users as well.
I want to make it work with MySQL-Max (InnoDB tables mostly) and Oracle. They
both provide transactions and they both provide "TABLESPACES" which allow for
the use of multiple datafiles for a single table. I don't like having files
greater than 2GB if I can avoid it. I will do my best not to exclude use of
other table types in MySQL.
If anyone has any feelings about where I am headed; I welcome them. I won't
be able to dig back in for another week or so.
Sometime after that I will post a document with more meat. Is this an
acceptable way to jump in?
I want to reuse as much of the existing FS code as possible. I'm concerned
that this my require some refactoring of code. I want to minimize any impact
on the existing baseline while also minimizing potental implementation
specific behavior/features/bugs. It seems to me that this goal my be a bit of
a tightrope walk.
Thanks,
Glenn A. Thompson (gat)
PS I have to admit, I'm a little nervous as to how well my code will pass the
peer review :-) Nothing ventured noting gained?!
