Quite simply, if long term storage utilises and embedded database then
so long as the scripting language can access it then it will be fine.
Only if the database supports concurrent access by multiple processes,
which most don't. You'd be better off supporting a single standard API
to obtain the obvious data such as contacts/calendar/todos (EDS being
the one that I believe that the developers have settled on).
Which leads to a question: is there some way to extend the information
held for each EDS entity so that calendar entries contacts and the like
can have additional (arbitrary) fields?
Cheers,
Jim.
