Gentlemen: Andy has taken a large bite of work - tool handling in LinuxCNC - and has made very quick progress on it. He deserves all the support from us he can get; we do not have enough folks taking a larger-than-average bite and actually deliver on it.
I also note that part of that work is conceptual - a data model for tool information - and he has chosen particular tool to represent this design. I think discussions of tool X versus tool Y are less than useful and distracting to the cause, and I suggest to leave the choice to the folks doing the actual work. If someone wants to contribute to the work, I am sure this will be welcome, but personal itches and peeves are less than helpful here. I also suggest to read the toolstore discussion notes I just posted; you will find that the relevant semantics lies in the API, and how that is implemented behind the API is an entirely different question, meaning any adamant SQL vs no SQL discussion started here is completely meaningless for the goals we want to achieve. - Michael Am 25.06.2013 um 14:46 schrieb EBo <e...@sandien.com>: > On Jun 25 2013 6:22 AM, andy pugh wrote: >> On 25 June 2013 12:05, EBo <e...@sandien.com> wrote: >> >>> ouch... requiring a SQL database seems more than a little overkill I >>> would think. >> >> Sqlite is fairly, err, lite. > > well... how lite is lite?
