GSoC (week 1)


Hi,

Here is the list of things I have done during this week.

1. read documentation on how to set up development environment

2. installed PostgreSQL on Ubuntu from source code

3. read documentation on gist index (http://www.sai.msu.su/~
megera/postgres/gist/)

4. went through source code of gist index to understand its implementation

5. found appropriate places in gist index AM to insert calls to existing
functions (PredicateLockPage(),  CheckForSerializableConflictIn() ...etc)
