Hello
I forgot the DB2, I agree that is not a good idea implement the driver
direct on Bacula code (license problems).
But we have a way (already proposed initially by Kern and now by David). We
can use the libdbi (http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/) to do the work and
perhaps the project "Item 34: Commercial database support Origin: Russell
Howe Date: 26 July 2006" listed on http://www.bacula.org/?page=projects,
will be done.
I started some experiments with libdbi, following:
1. Test the framework libdbi. Understand how they work and limitations
2. Code in Bacula the drivers for libdbi interfacing with the databases
supported by libdbi
3. Create the a libdbi driver for DB2 (and others databases too)
The motivations to use libdbi, are:
LGPL license
Database-independent abstraction layer in C
Multiple databases
If anybody has any questions, please do it.
Important: this idea not discard the already interfacing drivers already
coded in Bacula, but one way to use proprietary databases and connectivity
API in Bacula.
Thanks
