Re: [Maria-developers] [Commits] Rev 2827: Ported the fix for bug #57024 (a performance issue for outer joins). in file:///home/igor/maria/maria-5.3-mwl128-bug57024/

Igor, Why not take the opportunity to change the format of all comments to Doxygen format. It doesn't make sense to have two formats for comments, and I've seen you adding new comments in new code in Doxygen format. Timour On 10/06/10 14:08, Sergey Petrunya wrote:

Hello Igor,

Please find some minor comments below. Ok to push after they are addressed.
