During these two weeks I worked relatively lesser number of hours and had to take a couple of days off. So, I am combining the work done during the two weeks to a single blog post.
During the two weeks I concentrated mostly on feature enhancements. Two major features were implemented during the period. First of them is the ability to specify the routine level privileges and I noticed that this feature is missing when I went though the MySQL GRANT syntax. Even though this sounded easier when I started working on it, it took two full days to complete the feature. This was mostly due to the code quality of the related code segments. So, I'd put server_privileges.php file as one of the key places where refactoring can help.
The second major feature is the UI to define partition definitions. Existing create table UI has only a text area to define the partition definition. Someone who is not familiar with partition syntax would not be able to do this with the old UI. The new UI allows specifying partitioning parameters and parameters for each partitions. Additionally, I worked on making the metro theme compatible with the 4.5 version. I had accumulated commits for this for sometime. During the two week I did the final touches and the pull request was merged.
