There was definitely discussion about using a database for image metadata. It's all stuff that got lost after the whole 1.0 release debacle, however. The choice of database should have a lot to do with how the data will be accessed and used. The non-relational options are good for scalability, but they tend to have very weak query languages, which can severely limit the utility of the datastore. On the other hand, SQL is a very powerful query language, but SQL-based solutions may have scalability issues. That said, given that Lightroom uses sqlite, it at least demonstrates that sqlite is a feasible solution for this type of problem (although it's not obvious what kind of optimizations they had to do to keep performance up to par). --xsdg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
