The pain of having to re-rate the tracks that I have rated and having to re-create new browsing shortcuts that I have already created with MySQL-"dependent plugins". If you believe that the transition to the new db will be completely painless and that all users' libraries will be re-scanned and migrated without "any" issues when the SQLite version is released, I have a bridge to sell you. radish;433605 Wrote: > > They are solving it, this is the solution :) And there are other > reasons, as have been mentioned, such as performance improvements for > people who want the server to run on lighter-weight hardware like a NAS. This is not reason enough to drop the existing MySQL support. The NAS users "might" be the source of most of the issues, but not the larger user base. Unless the NAS vendor supports SC out of the box... you should "expect" issues when running "applications" on a platform that was not designed to do so. radish;433605 Wrote: > > 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? All the customization I made with the MySQL-dependent plugins. With the SQLite engine I will end up loosing performance in my server as I'd would have to run another db engine. Do not assume that I'm using my server and the db engine "exclusively" for SC. No vendor should assume that their product has sole ownership of the user's platform where is going to run. -- 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
