Thread: Introducing Myself
Hello all,<br /><br />May be this is notneeded, but I thought I could just introduce myself to the list and why am I here.<br/><br />My name is Vaibhav Kaushal, a good leaner and a really bad student. I bunk classes, don't attend exams andlove to develop. I just completed my engineering course in Information science but with a few subjects still on the list.I am not much of a developer yet but understand the basics. I use both Windows and Linux; Linux being my more preferredOS. <br /><br />I was trying to develop a small web application and selected MySQL because "you know its the mostpopular OSS DB on the Internet" and has a more friendly name (although almost crappy ways of work with awkward SQL syntax,no foreign key support by default and rules allowing silent ignores on the commands, specially the 'check' rule).But then I thought I could look for options; and I got postgresql and i had to change the whole architecture of theapplication! It is just too much feature packed and powerful and fast enough considering what it does.<br /><br />I amhere to learn how it works (it has become my favorite DB almost instantly), and how to make it work even better. I do notunderstand everything what the documents say but I want to know. So if anyone can,<b> please show me the way, at leastto the terms which you people use when developing</b>.<br /><br />I want to change a few things in the inner core ofit. May be my additions would be beneficial to the community. But for that I need to start. Also, I think its time I moveon to the development section of the 9 series of the DB. Am I right? I am new here and need some guidance. I would firstlike to know what it does (<b>what happens from the moment I hit enter on PSQL after a command to the results beingdisplayed</b>) and where are the functions located in the source tree. <br /><br />Thanks a lot.<br />Vaibhav (*_*)<br/>

There's really no such things as a "9 series". You need to understand the version numbering better: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning > what happens from the moment I hit enter on PSQL after a command > to the results being displayed http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/index.html http://www.postgresql.org/developer/ext.backend.html > where are the functions located in the source tree. http://www.postgresql.org/developer/ext.backend_dirs.html Those links should get you started.... -Kevin
Thank you.
