Wouldn't recommend it as a project for a beginning backend hacker;
the locking considerations alone are a bit daunting.
That being the case, is there a list anywhere of open/wish list/TODO
items that are suitable for beginning pg hackers? I've been over the
TODO list and found myself fairly daunted by what I see, but would
still like to take a stab at contributing.
A couple of nice visible projects on the TODO list that might be
suitable for beginners:
. Add "include file" functionality in postgresql.conf
. Remove Money type, add money formatting for decimal type
But actually, the best place to start is possibly doing cleanups.
For example, gcc version 4 generates LOTS of compiler warnings. They
need clearing up. Doing that might lead to yuo look at quite a lot of
interesting code, which in turn might lead to more projects.
Plus there are always tests and docs to write ;-)
