Embedded Databases may be an nice option on standalone systems, but in Multiuser environments like all Uniec-like Systems Like *BSD, Linux et al this is a bad idea. NFS based installations are standard if there are more than one system around, so embedded Databases in $HOME are sentened to death by accidential login on an other Node. This deasease is also the dead of akonadi. But in akonadi it is possible to configure the use of external postgres databases. In Amarok external MySQL is possible, but work neither performant nor stable. PostGres will do better. Also it is not recommended to run 2 fat Database engines. One should enough. So, it may be an good idea to make it choosable, PostGres or MySQL on Server. So, it would be an nessesary option to use external Databases, i.e. on the server. MySQL does not meet any licences requirements anymore, due the evil behavior of it's owners. PostGres ist in those case the clearly better choose. IMHO we should trash MySQL in to the digital trashbin. So, back to work, there is much to code here :D Jojo -- Jürgen Sauer Neue Str. 11 - 28790 Schwanewede - 04209-4653 >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
