Thread: Topic for a student research project
I\'m currently searching for a topic related to PostgreSQL for a student research project i have to write this semester. Since i really would like to write this in a PostgreSQL context and there are many ongoing projects here on -hackers, i wonder if somebody has a topic of kind \"that needs to be done\" and \"can be done in a student research project\". Perhaps there are some open issues in PITR, replication, XML or others.... The student research project has a duration of 3-4 month and is supervised by a professor from my university. A short brief of me: I am studying in the 7th semester information technology in Aalen, Germany. I have experiences in database programming due to an employment at IBM Germany last year and a long running project for a web company related to a self developed middleware (Perl, C/C++ and Kylix driven) and PostgreSQL as a backend. Linux is my preferred platform for years. Any ideas, suggestions or hints are appreciated. TIA Bernd Helmle

I am currently deleting then reinserting rows that get updated with a pretty stupid algorithm. If you would like to investigate incremental updates, and work with me on that, it would probably be interesting and educational. I think I will be doing most of it in PlPythonU at first, then port it to C later. -- Jonathan Gardner jgardner@jonathangardner.net

I have a talk on monday next week where i had to discuss my topics...do you have any documentation, sources or so that i can use for a first examination? > -- > Jonathan Gardner > jgardner@jonathangardner.net > > -- Bernd
