i'm not a dev obviously, but imo they should just support sqlite and drop official support for mysql soon after releasing 7.6, and consider maybe depricating it altogether if supporting it in any way constrains the product or costs them dev time. (and certainly removing the gui option is a clear indication where this is headed)
i agree with erland that concentrating on one just one or the other makes best use of their time, and i think sqlite is the right choice b/c i have had many problems not with AV, but windows defender, that i believe cost me two raptor HDs. the cpu/hard drive swapping was so intense, that scans literally killed those drives. (i reported a bug, but the problem has seemed to subside, not sure why) anyway, erland says his plugins (which i don't use, but i will test the one this weekend!) will work on sqlite. so my question is what indispensible plugin or feature do we lose if mysql is no longer supported? frankly, i doubt there is any. someone might already have mysql installed and running for some other reason, and just not like the so called "ineffiency" of running sqlite too, but come on... i think whatever niche cases there are, really don't hold any water. give me a showstopping reason as to why mysql must be maintained, or get over it. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.3b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 45k+ mp3 ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84697 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
