Dropping files might be accepted, but not DBFiles.I've only played with Cloudscape before (Derby's forerunner if you don't know, I'm sure Danny does!). How would people feel about dropping file:
Having no "pure file" support, would mean that users would need a better "remote manager", and since there's nothing like this for JAMES with DB at the moment, it would mean the JAMES wouldn't work out of the box.
support altogether and only using db: repositories then?
DBFiles are great, and from our tests, is the best combination possible. These days, mails are big and have attachments too, and we found no DB till yet that would be able to handle this the right way(with the same hardware like the one used for DBFiels). Having the headers only in the DB is: "taking the best of both worlds" :).However this would mean that dbfile: wouldn't work. I don't want to kill a feature "accidentally" that a lot of people rely on.
Just my 2 euro cents :).
Ahmed.
