Hi Canek,
The place where we specify the type of the database is here:
elisa-core/elisa/core/application.py
db_string = 'sqlite:%s/moovida.db' % config_dir
The sqlite lock is surely a pain in the a** but you just have to close
Moovida in order to tweak the DB.
We do not plan to move to MySQL in the near future. Instead, we are
investigating other ways to store the metadata.
Regards,
Fernando
