how hard would it be to allow quotes around the password? (if this ends up disallowing quotes in the password to the database, that's not too bad a cost) I'm trying to think of if there are some fairly minor changes that could be made that would make it significantly easier for a better parser to be written. changng the config is always a problem, but there are some problems that are much larger than others, and if a minor change would make it much easier to move to a standard parser it may be worth making the breakage in a 5.x or 6.x release (where the new capibilities are introduced so that people can see the advantage of the breakage) David Lang > ----- Urspr?ngliche Nachricht ----- > Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Gesendet: Freitag, 16.
