I think either I just ran into a corner-case configuration error, or my
understanding of how the different components of Bacula interact is
incomplete.  Does the SD actually touch the catalog database directly,
or is all interaction with the catalog through the director?


Reason for asking:  I'm upgrading systems from 3.0.1 to 3.0.3.
Configuring the server went fine.  Configuring one specific client,
which will also have a secondary FD, I figured that if I wasn't building
the director I didn't need to specify a database, so I didn't.  My
configuration directive was as follows:

./configure --prefix=/opt/bacula --enable-build-stored
--enable-static-sd --enable-static-tools --enable-static-fd
--enable-build-dird=no --with-gnu-ld --with-openssl=/usr
--with-subsys-dir=/opt/bacula/working
--with-working-dir=/opt/bacula/working --mandir=/opt/bacula/man
[email protected]
[email protected] --with-smtp-host=smtp.caerllewys.net

This resulted in the following error:

You have not specified either --enable-client-only or one of the
  supported databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, SQLite or DBI.
  This is not permitted. Please reconfigure.

SHOULD building a SD require that a database be specified?  I thought
that all database interaction was confined to the Director, and that
only the director needed to be built against a DB client library.
