Hi, Binod! First: please send questions like this to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net it's a public mailing list dedicated to MySQL and MariaDB internals, source code, and related things. I am subscribed, so I'll see you mail there, and you may be sure I will, because it won't be accidentally catched by my spam filter, or sorted out in some obscure folder. Furthermore other subscribers will see your question and could reply if I will be not available (e.g. I could be travelling). Thank you. On May 26, Binod Bista wrote:

Hi Sergei,

Thanks for the info. Just to interrupt, is there a page you recommend for anyone starting out in MariaDB development? Particularly any database or MySQL internals material that help understand the codebase.

That depends on what you're trying to do. There are two books: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596009571.do http://www.packtpub.com/mysql-51-plugin-development/book There's MySQL internals manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/index.html There's MariaDB Knowledge Base that includes pages about MariaDB internals: http://kb.askmonty.org/ There're numerous blog posts and presentations about specific topics. Regards, Sergei
