Making the SQLite the "default" installation is not an issue for me, but losing complete "official" support for MySQL makes me feel like road-kill. I'm not convinced that antivirus software and underpowered NASes are a major problem. Even those with very little knowledge of computers know that antivirus software, while inconvenient, are a necessity in this day and age. A readme file with SC installation instructions indicating that that a specific folder or file on the user's machine needs to be exempt from being scanned by the antivirus software should suffice. Folks installing SC on NASes on their own, from the start, know what they're getting into. Sometimes a clearly drafted User-Must-Read document where the installation instructions and minimum prerequisites are clearly defined can save a lot of time and money on development For me it is unrealistic to expect software code to prevent user from stepping on their toes. Sometimes giving them a helping hand in the form of a document written in dumb-proof language is all that's needed. Updating said document on a regular basis is also important. I'm not trying to keep new users with little computer skills out, I just feel that all the development resources that are being thrown into SQLite development could have been used to improve the already mature MySQL SC platform to a higher level of performance and function. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64564 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
