Project description
Treemap is a space-constrained visualization of hierarchical structures. It is very effective in showing attributes of leaf nodes using size and color coding. Treemap enables users to compare nodes and sub-trees even at varying depth in the tree, and help them spot patterns and exceptions.
Treemap was first designed by Ben Shneiderman during the 1990s. For more information, read the historical summary of treemaps, their growing set of applications, and the many other implementations. Treemaps are a continuing topic of research and application at the HCIL.

Although MySQL is a powerful and fast database server, there are certain tasks that cannot be done with it so easily.
If you've ever tried to * calculate the median of any values,
* calculate the skewness and kurtosis of a distribution of value
* retrieve the effective length of the longest value in a STRING column,
* get the longest value from a STRING column,
* calculate the faculty of a value,
* calculate linear regression parameters (intercept, slope, correlation coefficent) of any values, directly from MySQL, you'll already know what I am writing about.
In fact, these tasks can only be performed in MySQL with ugly workarounds or require the use of additional programming on the client side.
This is where UDFs (User Defined Functions) come into play. UDFs are a nice and simple way to enhance your MySQL server's functionality with custom functions.
As you've already guessed, the aim of this page is to provide you with UDFs for some common tasks that can't be done in MySQL without UDFs that easily or not at all.
Nice if you need to do median, but not sure about stability yet. mysql-udf | MySQL extension functions |

Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp. may unveil their long-delayed merger announcement as early as Tuesday, said people familiar with the matter, in the latest move by airlines to grapple with high fuel prices and a softening economy. The deal could value Northwest at roughly $3 billion, these people said, though terms were still being negotiated. That would be well below Northwest's market value of more than $4.6 billion as of Feb. 1, reflecting the industry's worsening prospects in recent weeks.
