Hi,
This is the third week's report for my project.
Things done in the third week:
* Sketched algorithm and table structure for solving Non-scheduled
routing problem[1].
* Writing a pure pl/pgsql function as a prototype implementing the
non-scheduled routing function to test the algorithm and
efficiency[2].
Things to be finished by next week:
* Finalize algorithm for non-scheduled routing using the prototype.
* Implement Non-scheduled routing core function either in c if necessary.
* Write wrapper SQL functions for Non-scheduled routing function
covering major use cases.
