  1. New subscriber - looking for an overview of the code

    Lateef Sagar <lateef_sagar@yahoo.com> — 2025-03-15T20:27:24Z

    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

    Several prominent Postgres hackers provide guidance on a discord server:
