Of course - I should perhaps have sent the email as an "I'd like SQL Server support for the catalog - anyone interested in helping me do it?" email instead of a feature request. > This is the way it is.

Oh I wasn't expecting others to really do it, but since Kern wanted all feature requests submitted as per his template, and I want SQL Server support, I figured I'd submit it. It's something I plan to do, but I haven't had time to do anything but fill in the feature request form. I was more after feedback on how to go about adding support for another database and how much trouble was involved. > It would take knowledge of C coding, knowledge of SQL Server, and > good debugging skills. The C I can handle, the SQL Server I can probably figure out (with the help of freetds etc) and the debugging is mostly a matter of dedicating time to it. I'd love to contribute something back to bacula, and as soon as the opportunity presents itself, I will. -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
