Hi, I'm Olaf, a computer science student from the Netherlands and I'd like to submit a GSoC proposal to improve the client API. Topics I'd like to work on:
Modern safe C++ API The current C API provides a low-level API to execute queries. I'd like to see (and work on) a modern safe C++ API with for example automatic resource managemant (no manual calls to free). Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) UDS is required for peercred and might provide better performance than TCP, but is unfortunately only available on localhost. Peercred via UDS Peercred allows a process to retrieve the identity of the remote end of a UDS connection. Since no passwords are used, troubles related to passwords are avoided. Zero conf Traditionally, every app required host, user, pass and db arguments to be put in a conf file. This is tedious and can easily be avoided. MySQL supports my.cnf, Drizzle should support something similar but better. I could being working yesterday. ;) Since it's a broad project, I don't know how long it will take. Should be finished before the summer ends. I've got experience with C++, Boost and networking, so I should be a good person to work on this. I'm not going to say I'm the best. Greetings, Olaf _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
