This is what I'm doing with the embedded-innodb engine (a storage engine for Drizzle that uses the embedded innodb library). Note that ever generating a FRM is roughly akin to making life from the raw chemicals... you may want to store it there too. If the proto was used internally, you could store it there alongside the FRM. This could be a on-disk upgrade path from mysql to drizzle... or, for embedded, from embedded to drizzle. Taking a bunch of data on disk in an embedded engine and being able to query it using SQL can be useful. -- Stewart Smith _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~pbxt-discuss Post to : pbxt-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~pbxt-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
