But then it would make more sense to write a real search plugin.
I don't think Erland's SQL plugin is currently made for it and then you'd have to live with all the changes to the database that happen on the server side all the time. iPeng can't be tailored to one server version like the SB firmware is, it has to support a full range of server versions and Logitech have the nasty habit of doing all kind of changes even in minor releases. > > You're certainly right about server query performance being suboptimal. > There's the hope that SQLite might be faster, but each time I try a > version of 7.6 it's not perceptibly so (but, to be fair, I've optimized > MySQL performance a bit) I believe SQLite is faster on slower systems. Generally, 7.6 has become much faster but that's more due to optimized queries and stuff like artwork handling and scanner being rewritten than sheer database performance. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87095 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
