------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 14 09:07:11 +0000 2007 ------- "That is, even if you do have a 1-character title, in the underlying file it would take up 255 characters - for every record". Yes, so it is with computers, but with todays multi-mega giga capacity hard drives i do not think that is a problem. If length 255, then it would take approx 512 bytes (given the characters are unicode). There are 30 various types of data (title, publisher, year, etc.). If all of them were 255 characters, and we have would have one thousand of records, it would take 1000 * 30 * 512 = 14,6 MiB. Not that much. To summarize - my point is that usability is the ultimate goal. I tried to use OO database to store bibliografical entries for my short (10 page) document, and it showed not a very pleasant thing to work with. I could use something else instead, of course, or modify the database myself, but hey, the goal is to make OO useful to people. For granpa's and grandma's ;) They'll definetely won't go and figure out how to increase the database. Thats my two cents :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
