Exactly that. If you used SQLlite as a message store you'd have serious scaling issues. > After all, email servers store their messages in databases so they > don't get corrupted. Which ones? I'm not aware of any mail server other than Archaeopteryx that use an SQL database as a message store. [Exchange / Sharepoint use SQL-Server and Domino used DB2 - but "sort of", they have deep hooks into that product]. And nobody use a database like SQLlite as a message store [I tried, used SQLite to store many serialized objects, it works quite badly for that purpose] > Also, point #4 isn't bogus.

Disagree, a developer creating tools and plugins should use the applications API & services not sneak into its data store. But at this point this is theoretical and off-topic. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
