MySQL Plugins

[Arnold Daniels]

Hi,

Can somebody tell me a bit more about writing plugins. The documentation 
in the manual is focusing on the full-text plugin, but that can't be the 
only thing you can do with it. What types of plugins can you create?

I've been working on a LOAD XML INTO patch with Erik Wetterberg last 
year. We created a working prototype, but didn't continue from there. My 
C++ skill ware very rusty back than, but are just about up to quality 
now, so I want to continue that project. I think it would be nice if 
could be written as a plugin. The current patch consist of a piece of 
YACC code and some C to implement the statement.

Thank you,
Arnold
