Hi, In a previous thread I was declared as a newbie end user, now I'll behave like that :)
If I'll use the hosting service, I'll want to be able to use mysql and not sqlite, and other experimental solutions. You can say that this is silly of me, but, as an end user, I have the right to be silly. BTW I have bad experience with sqlite. It can happen that the database becomes corrupted somehow, maybe because of not properly handled concurrent accesses, or a ctrl-c in a bad moment, I don't know. And mysql is faster too. As a silly end user I would prefer a separately existing permanency layer. This is not a problem for active record, so I really don't get it why not to use it. (It would be enough to have one database for all the users and let the databasename_tablename structured tablenames solve the rest. Actually the users don't need to know where is the data stored and how, just use the ActiceRecord API, but they need to know that it's fast enough and the data is securely stored.) I'm sorry, I know I was not really constructive... ...end users are always silly...
