[0] Before I take a shot at your questions, I have to say 'Great Idea!'. I work with huge decision matrix databases and it can be a pain to switch to a console, connect to the database, and query the matrix just to find out which values I need to include in the code.
[1] Ideally, I would think that the database connection would be user customizable - as in specifying a web browser or file manager. I know that as only a dabbler SQL, sqlite has been just fine for my purposes. If you must pick one interface, though, I think postgresql is fine. [2] It seems like most of the config files are stored in plain text config file format, AKA: [header] option1=value1 option2=value2 On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 8:17 AM, Mike Thorn <mth...@iqguys.com> wrote: > Hello all: > > I'm working on a database query plugin written in Vala and have a couple of > questions regarding the general process of working with the geany community. > > First, when is the right time to request that my plugin be added to the > geany-plugins repo?
