Thread: Hashing Distinct/pgFoundry project?
Beth, Simon, Given that Hashing DISTINCT is a patch on the main PostgreSQL code, does it make sense to set up a pgfoundry project for it? Or should you just use hackers/patches? I'm OK with it either way, just wanted to make sure that you had reasons for wanting to use pgFoundry. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

Ok, and you think it's a better idea than trying to work off the main CVS? Like I said, I don't have any objections, I'm just not sure how some of this stuff should be handled. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
BTW, my project (XMLType) also couldn't be done as contrib module. So, I'd prefer to work with CVS / patches. Maybe it's worth to create pgfoundry project, but anyway it's too early to talk about it (in my case) On 6/6/06, Josh Berkus <josh@agliodbs.com> wrote: > Jonah, > > > > Given that Hashing DISTINCT is a patch on the main PostgreSQL code, > > > does it make sense to set up a pgfoundry project for it?

Yeah, at least at first. We're going through getting the basics done (node creation, basic implementation, and initial addition to the planner), then we'll submit it to -patches. I want it to be about 90% before submitting to -patches. Also, I'd like to use the tasks features on pgfoundry. In the case of this patch, there can't really be any -hackers arguments about it because there's not really any other way to do this. -- Jonah H.

Ahh... Jonah shows his inexperience... just because there is only one way to
do something will not prevent the -hackers crowd from arguing about it ;-D
