Subject: Re: [Poll] your interest in plugins to be deployed

Oh, while doing that if you can dream up any new
plugins that might be useful, then please create
an issue in our Jira Issue tracker.

Just wanted to bounce this one around before creating an issue.

I would like a mySQL plugin, I see we have a database plugin, but has no
mySQL functionality. Can this be extended, so the database plugin has
options so you choose or configure which database to use, or would a
separate plugin for each type be better?

If I remember correctly the database plugin can work with any configured database (within in the confines of the SQL being used).

However, there are other, possiblby better solutions, for different use cases.

I'm not about to go into detail now, too much testing to be done. Raise an issue and come back to it after the release (unless you have a pressing need of course, in which case I'd be happy to expand).
