Unrelated to the technical side of the MySQL backend, but still interesting: why can't the MySQL backend be integrated in Wt? Assuming Paul is willing to, it'd be as easy as giving him commit permissions to src/Wt/Dbo/backend/mysql in the repository. Is it because of license issues? I don't really see a problem: both Wt and MySQL are GPL 2, and then both Wt and MySQL have a commercial license, so it'd be as easy as this: either you make you application open source (using Wt and MySQL under GPL2), or you make your application proprietary (and then you need to buy Wt *and* MySQL commercial licenses). Or maybe I'm missing something ? -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ witty-interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/witty-interest
