Re: [GSOC 2014] "CREATE OR REPLACE, CREATE IF NOT EXISTS, and DROP IF EXISTS" Project

 

Hi James,

That worklog surely helped me. Now I know what needs to be added for each
object type. I have missed three of them while putting up my proposal.
Also, it seems the CREATE OR REPLACE and IF [NOT] EXISTS issue is hanging
there from a long time.

The follow-up project idea is great! That huge switch-case statement in
mysql_command_execute can be fixed with the mentioned object oriented
approach for command execution.

And that blog of yours really simplifies it all. I will need to go through
that procedure a lot of times during this project.

I am so much excited now after I saw the complete worklog and so many
things to work on.

Thanks a lot,
Sriram
