I have some time available for development (was laid off about a week ago :-( ) and thought that a good project to spend some time on would be an SQL backend for GC2/QOF. I know that a while ago, someone named Matthew V.... (?) was working on something in the GC 1.X series, but I haven't seen his name on the devel list in a long time. I know Derek is still interested in an SQL backend. I could either:
1) target SQLite, PostgreSQL or MySQL directly in a QOF back end, or 2) target libdbi or another such layer (how many data layers do we want?) which would give us all three (SQList, PostgreSQL and MySQL immediately), or 3) target ODBC using iODBC which would give us even more databases we could connect to. Is there any current vision for database use? Of the 3 databases I've listed, I've only used MySQL. SQLite would remove the need for an external db server, though embedded MySQL would also remove this. Thoughts?
