Practical part of thesis was porting DB schema to mysql. Then I met my thesis leader (not Miroslav, other one). He told me, that porting DB schema as practical part and describing differences between oracle and mysql as theoretical part will not pass because there was thesis with similar theoretical part done recently. So we decided to include performance analysis (performance diffs) to theoretical part. I can't do performance analysis without spacewalk in mysql (or at least part of it), so porting to mysql is prerequisite. In my opinion, I can do performance diffs analysis on oracle+postgres instead of oracle+mysql and help with porting to postgres. But this should be decided and approved by both thesis leaders. > > > Best regards, > -- > gurjeet[[email protected] > EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com > > singh.gurj...@{ gmail | hotmail | indiatimes | yahoo }.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel >
