And then in the future users see a setting to switch to MySQL and think 'hey I heard that - this is the famous open source DB, let's use this' and fail because: - Logitechs QA is not as dedicated to MySQL compared to SQLLite - They still have they virus scanners on causing trouble (even me is getting a support request once a month, which in the end boils down to virus scanner issues). So again unhappy customers for no reason. Keeping MySQL only has drawbacks and very rare pros: (+) you keep a minority happy who insist on using MySQL. (-) you have twice the QA+Development costs (having a big automated testsuite does not prevent this. In the end you need to do the integration test, as the databases DO differ: transaction handling, deadlock escalation, internal query optimization, index usage). And if you consider MySQL as the first choice for huge music collection you just have to care and can't just hope that queries that work well on SQLite will do so on MySQL. (-) third party devs have twice the effort: even if erland decides to support only SQLite. Who will be the first to demand MySQL-support from him ? (-) you get all kind of trouble with virus-scanners again My vote: just drop MySQL and keep away from all the troubles you will have with supporting two databases. By the way: did the server code had some closed source as well? If that's the case using MySQL (as you link the GPL driver) would be a GPL license violation anyway. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84697 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
