Session Tour of the MySQL Source Code Brian Aker Michael (Monty) Widenius Track: Architecture and Technology Date: Wednesday, April 20 Time: 1:30pm - 3:05pm Location: Magnolia TrackBack Some tours are for tourists, while others are better suited to adventurers. This session falls into the latter category. Bring your pith helmet, a machete and a good C++ manual. MySQL Director of Architecture Brian Aker and MySQL Founder Monty Widenius are going to take you into the semi-charted wilds of the MySQL source code. During the tour, they will show you how the major parts of MySQL are implemented. The important sections of code for each sub-system that is covered will be shown and discussed. Attendees of this session will gain a clearer understanding of how MySQL behaves and may be able to modify MySQL to suit their own development needs better. This session is meant for advanced users who have a solid working knowledge of both C++ (or C) and database systems.
