Hello devs,I am a coding enthusiast. I have downloaded code in a Ubuntu VMWare machine and I am able to compile the code.
I am looking for a course / site that can give me an overview of the code like:1. How is the code organized and which file/folder has these components?     * Core RDBMS engine components,      * additional DB components,      * DB Rule based security components       * DB Storage components    * Index storage
2. Is there a code sample that can demonstrate DB engine changes (like a sample to change SELECT to SEL or SLCT, or adding a new mathematical operator)
Thanks
Lateef

There's probably something like that, offered by someone out on the
internet.

I'd suggest you start with the official information, as described in the
documentation:

https://www.postgresql.org/developer/
https://www.postgresql.org/developer/coding/
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_information
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/tree/master/src

Several prominent Postgres hackers provide guidance on a discord server:
