I run both 7.3.3 (mysql) and 7.4 (sqlite) pointing at the same library and honestly can't tell the difference. Other than plugins which rely specifically on mysql (which I realise could be a big deal for some people until they're fixed) the db engine shouldn't really matter. In fact, I seem to recall seeing a post here saying that they want to fully abstract it so you could Choose-Your-Own-Engine (tm) but are short on resources to do so right now. The schema change in 8.0 will be a MUCH bigger deal to most people than an engine change.

I still don't get what it is you're expecting to loose - what "tuning" have you done which is MySQL specific? What work are you loosing? -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64564 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
