Mark Schoonover: Drizzle Report Vol 1 No 1
The Drizzle Report is a weekly synopsis on drizzle development. This first report will contain more than just a weeks worth of development in order to catch up.
What has been removed from the initial MySQL source tree can be found at the MySQL Differences wiki page. Some of the highlights were the removal of the mysql database, TINY/MED/LONG BLOB, TINY/MED/LONG TEXT thespatial data types, and FULLTEXT indexes. Certain keywords were removed too like ENGINES, CLIENT and CONTRIBUTORS. Even drizzleadmin has been stripped down to just ping and shutdown.The long-standing MySQL ACL has been ripped out, and initial PAM authentication has been started.
Monty Taylor reports RIP: errmsg.sys, in its place is gettext which is a standard for outputting strings.
Comparing drizzle to SQLite has been commonplace. An initial attempt at comparing the tw! o architectures can be found on the Drizzle compared to SQLite wiki page.
Drizzle features have been gleaned from Brian Aker's OSCON 2008 video and are now listed on the Drizzle Features wiki page. Brian has also been interviewed on FLOSS Weekly #35 and Linux Cast. Be sure to listen in.
More information on Drizzle can be found on the Drizzle wiki. IRC and mailing list are also available. If there's something additional you'd like to see in the Drizzle Report, just let me know.
