I guess clean separation and APIs are necessary for now. If one need to modify/extend a storage manager for better performance, clean design and APIs are essentials. For my purpose, I'm thinking about a pluggable storage manager mechanism using dynamic loading, because I want to develop my smgr independently from main codebase... -- NAGAYASU Satoshi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenSource Development Center, NTT DATA Corp. http://www.nttdata.co.jp/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
