I understand what you're are saying about not being forced... but "sticking" to an old version that will eventually be deprecated is not an option for me. As I said in my previous post, what I hope will happen is that a migration path will be available where users of the "old" MySQL versions will be able to move to SQLite with the "least" amount of pain. There might well be other justifiable reasons, but from what I read in other related threads, the main reason that SD is switching to SQLite "appears" to be that users are having problems with Antivirus programs locking MySQL. I don't know why SD was dissuaded from trying to solve that issue. But it "appears to me" that this was an issue that SD could have brought forward to the MySQL developers community and offer development resources to find the underlying reason(s) that are causing the problem. I believe that the whole MySQL user population (not just SD's) would have benefited from such effort. Btw, I'm not upset that the platform is evolving.... What I'm upset about is the "apparent" disregard for existing MySQL users that want to either stick with MySQL and still "gain" functionality or that want to continue to "evolve" to SQLite (gain even more functionality) without loosing the hard work we have done to tune up our libraries to work with the previous versions. -- 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
