Google Summer of Code (Fix aggregate operators & Implement features such as Data Cubes and Skyline)

Hi,

A good project for the Google summer of code would be to solve the aggregate
problems in PostgreSQL. In addition, add some of the more complex operators
such as rollup and etc. These features can help close the gap between
PostgreSQL and popular commercial offerings such as Oracle and DB2.

That seems a tad ambitious, unless the SOCcer has already done some
nontrivial backend work ...

Hi,

Myself and a friend are PhD students at the University of California,
Riverside. We would be interested in such a project if it were available.
We are both experienced developers previously interning at EA Games and
current system administrators for the CS department.

I agree with Tom that this seems ambitious, however if you started looking at
the code now (say for adding the simplest of the new functions you are
thinking about) and submitted a full proposal, we could probably drum up a
mentor to help push the project along.
