Hi Sriram.

I read your CREATE OR REPLACE DATABASE code and have some comments:

1) I noticed that you directly mysql_rm_db the database before creating it. Please ask your mentor if it would be better to rename it, obtain a successful create status, then delete the old db.

Currently, if the disk is full, you could lose the original db and also the new one.

2) mysql_rm_db has a side-effect of USE nothing; if the db name matches the current db.

You may want to do mysql_change_db_impl() after the create logic to undo that.

3) This code impacts binary logging/replication, so you need to test that as well.

4) Old comments refer to automatic DDL locking. You should trace how that works (or not) with your code. For example, are you 100% sure another thread cannot create "db" after the mysql_rm_db call?

Let me look into all these issues that you have brought up. Will get back to you on these soon. About test cases, yes, the tests that I have written are very basic, have not gone into the detail but I am going to write thorough test cases as I dig more into the code.

" These DDL methods and logging are protected with the exclusive metadata lock on the schema." Verify?

5) I like your blog effort. Can you add links to github files so it's easier for reviewers to navigate?

Yes, sure I will do that for my blogs no on. Thanks for the review!

Thanks, James.

Hi all, I have created a blog to write the details of the work that I do as part of GSoC'14. Following is the link to my first blog post explaining the details of the work that I have done during the last two weeks.

I will be writing these blog posts every weekend from now on and will share it on the developer mailing list every Monday. Suggestions/reviews are welcome.

Thanks,Sriram -----Inline Attachment Follows-----
