Most DBs have licenses incompatible with MPL. I think the mozilla/NSS developer community doesn't want NSS to depend on a DB that isn't as readily reusable and redistributable as the rest of NSS is under MPL.
Certainly. What do you or other NSS responsable have to say about Keith Bostic's message ? Or maybe you're discussing it in private ...
There are also some technical requirements for a replacement DB. It should pass the ACID test.
(for anybody needing more details : http://www.archwing.com/technet/technet_ACID.html)
I don't believe the current db passes that test. Many people were using mysql without the atomicity.
Do you mean that if several process are to access it, then it becomes an absolute requirement ?
Perhaps some work will need to be done in NSS to add begin/end transaction calls (not now present) once we find the suitable candidate.
Well if operations are not atomic now, why do we require them to be after ? Can't we handle some of the atomicity inside NSS ?
