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
