[Phpmyadmin-devel] Setting up a development environment

Hello, I have not formally introduced myself since I was accepted in Google Summer of Code, but I hope it is not too late. My name is Dan and I am a first year student at the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania. My proposal was about the SQL parser and analyzer of phpMyAdmin and this summer I am going to rewrite it from scratch. Basically, what I want to achieve is more advanced analysis and better performance. If you want to check out my proposal, you can find it on the blog I set up here [1] and where I am going to write weekly reports about my progress during the summer. I already started working on the library and so far I am pleased with the result, but before proceeding further I would like to test it under appropriate conditions. I was hoping that you could suggest me a way to properly configure an environment that I can use for testing. What I am looking for is a multi-server environment where I can set up and use multiple versions of MySQL, MariaDB and Drizzle that and multiple MySQL modes as well. I tried using multiple virtual machines but having more than 3 or 4 stresses my laptop a lot. So far I believe that multiple Docker instances is what I am looking for. Since phpMyAdmin is so broadly used with so many configurations, I believe that the SQL parser should take into consideration all these factors and that is why I want to test my library under these conditions. I am looking forward for your suggestions. Thank you very much! [1] http://dan.ungureanu.tk/gsoc-2015/ Best regards, Dan Ungureanu
