Mark et all Yesterday I installed CouchDB on My Windows 10 64bit, I have not got a noteself to connect to it yet. There seems to be a gap in the instructions on how to configure a tiddlywiki DB. This would allow me to look at the database structure that NoteSelf is using and thus determine if MySQL would be a practical re-invention.
As You (mark says) One way to look at this tiddler in DB is that the title is the key and rest is a blob this is in keeping with the concept of a skinny tiddler. Loads as needed. On Couch DB there is a docker image which I intend to try on my Synology NAS but if you have a host that supports Docker you could build an internet facing CouchDB. Unfortunately I only have a highly asymetric Internet connection with a small speed up to the internet so I am not in a position to host much from inside my LAN out to the internet, thus a desire to get a DB back end for TiddlyWiki hosted on the internet. I have a wholesaler/re-seller hosting service on cpanel Regards Tony On Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 11:39:30 PM UTC+10, Mark S. wrote: > > > > On Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 1:07:39 AM UTC-7, Jed Carty wrote: >> >> SQL is optimised around having a known number of columns with a known >> type in each column which isn't a good match for tiddlywiki because >> tiddlers can have any number of custom fields they would all be stored as a >> single text blob anyway. >> >> > You would only need to put a handful of fields into actual SQL fields and > roll the rest into some sort of blob.
