My name is Pranjal and I am a 4th year student at IIIT Hyderabad. I am interested in working on the project MDEV-8100 <https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-8100> "Table functions (aka SQL functions returning tables)". I read the description of the task and it is quite clear to me. In the comments it is advised to consider creating TABLE datatype for the task. Is this task along with creation of TABLE datatype doable in the given timeline?

I think it is difficult to tell with certainity at this point. AFAIU the sub-task of adding a table datatype is a nice to have, but should be put at the end of the schedule: - It depends on other tasks and no other tasks depend on it - There are scenarios where MDEV-8100 is usable even if TABLE datatype is not implemented. I personally would strongly prefer to see work for "MDEV-8100 without TABLE-datatype" finished than unfinished "MDEV-8100 with table datatype".
