I have downloaded the source code from https://downloads.mariadb.org/ the 10.0 Series. I followed these steps : I installed cmake and run cmake . , after that I run make and make install... everything worked ok without any errors, but I don't know how can I run the application. I hope this is not a very stupid question but make run is not working or something like that...

Hi, I'm Sudheera Palihakkara, an undergraduate of Department of Computer Science and Engineering of University of Moratuwa. I'm interested in "Regex enhancements Project" and I need more information to get a clear picture about the project. Can I know what is the regex implementation used in mariadb is it the Henry Spencer's implementation or any newer implementation? And I want to know that is there any developer documentation on this classes present? I did a bit of search but unable to find. thank you. -- *Sudheera Palihakkara.* Undergraduate Department of *Computer Science and Engineering, *Faculty of Engineering, *University of Moratuwa*, Sri Lanka.

Hi, I'm interested in the LDAP authentication plugin. I read the earlier correspondence on this particular topic, so as I understand I need to get well acquainted with the LDAP protocol. Do you have more tips or recommendations as requisites for the same? Best Regards looking forward to a reply Sam

Hello, I'm interested in this project. I have read the other thread about this. I've checked the available regex implementations and I've written a draft application. Is there any potential mentor who would review my application and help to improve it? Thanks in advance. Best whishes, Tamás Kövesdán

[Maria-developers] Fedora test day for replacing MySQL with MariaDB
by Colin Charles 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hi all, By now you must know of the movement to replace MySQL with MariaDB in Fedora-land (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReplaceMySQLwithMariaDB) One important thing is to ensure that MariaDB is a drop-in replacement. Fedora is a fast-moving high quality Linux distribution, so their focus aims are to ensure that MariaDB and MySQL are compatible, data can be migrated easily and there are minimal/no upgrade issues (and if so, they need to be documented) This is why on 30 April 2013, there is a Fedora test day dedicated to this very important task: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-04-30_MariaDB I plan to be on IRC for as long as humanly possible on #fedora-test-day (freenode) and will be watching the process closely. If you would like to participate, this is naturally welcome to help new MariaDB users Thanks! cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed. Feature enhanced. Backward compatible. Download it at: http://www.mariadb.org/ Open MariaDB/MySQL documentation at the Knowledgebase: http://kb.askmonty.org/

Re: [Maria-developers] GTID and replication of mysql database

In rpl_slave_state::record_gtid(), there is this to prevent replicating updates of the mysql.rpl_slave_state table: table->no_replicate= 1; Other than that, I do not know of any special handling needed for the mysql database. Did you have something special in mind? Note that the user should not update mysql.rpl_slave_state manually. Except perhaps to ALTER TABLE ... ENGINE=xxx (which can be replicated). To change the GTID position, use SET GLOBAL gtid_pos='0-1-10', which will update mysql.rpl_slave_state as needed. BTW, yesterday I merged GTID into lp:maria/10.0, so now the code is in the main tree and will be included in the next 10.0.2 alpha release. - Kristian.

[Maria-developers] GSoC 2013 -- the Kerberos authentication plugin project
by QIU Shuang 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi community, This is Shuang Qiu, a student from Shanghai, China, major in Software Engineering. My field of interests is distributed storage (also a little knowledge of information retrieval). I've focused on the MariaDB project for a while and want to make this GSoC a first step into this community :). Based on my experience, I think the Kerberos plugin project meets more my taste (also the full text search one, unfortunately, which has been crossed out from the slate). Although not a very tough task at first glance, but I believe there must be some tricky things behind the scene. I've skip the pointer on MariaDB GSoC2013 home page and have some point unclear. How will we configure the Kerberos server? Do we need some name resolve protocol to discover the Kerberos service? Thank you very much and best regards! Sincerely, Shuang
