Hi Markus,
Thanks for the kind response. I have forwarded this intro to the Maxscale Google group.
Concerning the MSSQL to MariaDB filter,
Is there an existing API that can be called in our filter to do the conversion or are we coding the regex manually in the filter?

I found an online tool at http://www.sqlines.com/online. It's not accurate though. Please check it out to see if it's the same thing we are trying to achieve with our filter.

Thanks.
Lisa.

Hi,

Great to hear you're interested in MaxScale. You might also want to introduce yourself on the MaxScale mailing list over at Google Groups.

The filters are a good place to start from, they are quite easy to understand while still allowing a lot of room for experimentation. I'm looking forward to hearing more from all the people who are interested in GSoC 2016 and MaxScale.

Hi everyone,

My name is Lisa Brinson and I am a junior Computer science student at Oregon State University.

I wish to participate in an open source project through GSoC 2016.

I am proficient in C and C++ as well as git.

I have looked through the proposed projects and I have developed interest in the Maxscale tasks especially the filters. I have been going through the filter API and have also looked at some sample filters in server/modules/filter directory. I will try to write my first filter(a hello world filter) to get familiar with the API.

I will be submitting 3 proposals for the 3 Maxscale filters hoping one will be selected.

Best regards,

Lisa.
