I have just released CodeGen_MySQL_Plugin 0.1.0dev
This package has been around in PEAR CVS for quite a while, now it is finally seeing its first alpha release.
Starting with the upcoming 5.1 release MySQL will provide a
general plugin interface within the MySQL server.
Up to MySQL 5.0 the only way the MySQL server could be extended
without recompiling it was to add UDF modules that provide new
user defined functions on the SQL level. The new generic plugin
interface allows for different kinds of plugins to be implemented
on top of it.
Currently the plugin interface supports the follwing kind of
plugins:
- "daemon" plugins that only hook into server startup and shutdown
- fulltext parser plugins that change the way data is broken into words for fulltext indexes
- storage engine plugins …
