Hello guys, this last weekend i've started a major (re)working on the SQL plugins side. The news in brief are:
- the introduction of support for the SQLite 3.x database software ( http://sqlite.org ) via a new 'sqlite3' plugin. Rob Markovic has pointed it out to me and i've thought it could be interesting. Maybe pmacct+SQLite couple can come to the interest not only for who already knows the software but also to who wishes to deal with a somewhat "lighter" database or who uses pmacct in a tiny/embedded environment (LEAF, OpenWRT, BSD-routers, etc.). - the introduction of a common top SQL-layer, shared by all the SQL plugins. This means the end of their fully disjoint lives. From the user viewpoint, this will change pretty nothing. From an engineering point of view, however, it will greatly affect the maintainability of the code. This should, in turn, traslate in less bugs. Anyone willing to test the new code, can download the fresh archive from the following link: http://www.ba.cnr.it/~paolo/pmacct/pmacct-0.9.5-20051114.tar.gz It contains also the updated documentation. Any bug report will be really much appreciated. Cheers, Paolo
