Hi. I have been thinking about this for a while and now that Google Summer of Code is coming I thought I would share this idea. The GCC people have traded their bison/flex parser with a hand written recursive-descent parser for a nice speed up. So it would be interesting to see if PostgreSQL would benefit from the same 'switch'. By the looks of it *) the job could be completed within the time frame and maybe pgbench could serve as the testing framework for the performance measurements. I think it has an academic angle to it -- something fun for the student and maybe a speed up for PostgreSQL :) Just an idea... Keep up the great work you are doing ! Best regards, Jesper *) http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-10/msg01969.html
