Coding in MariaDB

hi,

I have the following questions:

-What is the language used for coding in MariaDB?

-As the Oracle package doesn't exist, how MariaDB structure its code ?

-Is there a plugin which can call a Java proc in MariaDB , other than the UDF function (as MariaDB cannot call directly a java proc)?

Thanks

-What is the language used for coding in MariaDB?

If you mean the server, it is written in C/C++.

UDFs must be written in C or a compatible language. Here you can see an example in Go: http://databaseblog.myname.nl/2015/10/a-mysql-udf-written-in-go.html

Stored procedures, functions and triggers must be written in procedural SQL.

-As the Oracle package doesn't exist, how MariaDB structure its code ?

Stored procedures are stored in a database, you can see the database as a namespace. There is no package.

-Is there a plugin which can call a Java proc in MariaDB , other than the UDF function (as MariaDB cannot call directly a java proc)?

No, currently there is no way to write a procedure in an external language. A community member is working on that, but I can't say if MariaDB is interested in this contribution, or when they will consider it.
