[Maria-docs] Documentation on Contributing to MariaDB
by Daniel Bartholomew 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

All, I've started a project to consolidate and clarify information on contributing to MariaDB. My first step was to take this page: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/how-can-i-contribute-to-mariadb and move all of its redundant information to this page: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/contributing-to-the-mariadb-project The How Can I Contribute... page still holds a function as part of the MariaDB FAQ so I think it should stay where it is and just serve as a pointer. My plan is for the "Contributing to the MariaDB Project" page to become the primary starting place for information on contributing. To that end, I've given it a shorter slug: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/contributing (the longer slug still works). Currently most of the information on the contributing page is specific to developers, but I intend to expand the non-developer-specific parts over the coming days. As the non-developer parts are expanded there will come a point where the page will need to be split into sub-pages, but the contributing slug will always point at the landing page for contributing. All articles about contributing will also link back to this main contributing page. Let me know if you have questions or want to help (there are several contributing topics which could use an article of their own, I'll post a list later). I'll also post updates on progress from time-to-time. Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

[Maria-docs] MariaDB 5.1.51
by Daniel Bartholomew 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

All, I've created the download, release notes, and changelog pages for MariaDB 5.1.51: http://askmonty.org/wiki/MariaDB:Download:MariaDB_5.1.51 http://kb.askmonty.org/v/mariadb-5151-release-notes http://kb.askmonty.org/v/mariadb-5151-changelog Apart from the CentOS packages, the mirrors should now have all of the files for this release. There was an issue with the signing key used on the CentOS packages. The issue has been fixed and the updated packages are seeding now. If you can't wait, the osuosl.org mirror is the primary one and is always up-to-date. Please let me know if anything is missing from the release notes or changelog, or if there are any errors. If you have editing rights, feel free to make the corrections or additions directly; otherwise, please let me know of needed changes here or on IRC. Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

[Maria-docs] minor feature not mentioned in pbxt docs
by Federico Razzoli 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

PBXT supports FOREIGN KEYS. When a row is deleted/updated in the parent table, InnoDB (and XtraDB) may perform one of the following actions: RESTRICT | CASCADE | SET NULL | NO ACTION The action "SET DEFAULT" (which is standard SQL) is not supported by InnoDB, but it's supported by PBXT. I think that this should be mentioned by the documentation. Also, maybe it should be stated that if the parent table is InnoDB the child table can't be PBXT and vice versa. Federico
