Pluggable Database Engines (1 Viewer)

[spinwards]

I would like to be able to move the databases to a separate server which would provide a master catalog for all media in the household.

I could then share not just my media, but a master index which would be accessible from any PC in the house by any number of people at the same time.

By moving to a generic database interface it would be possible to maintain compatibility with sqlite for single MP installs while enabling users with a home network to choose the server DB back end that would suit their needs.

If there is interest by the dev team, I can definitely help to develop this functionality.

Thanks,
Caleb Moore

I like that too.

Hi,

having 3 -4 clients in my household, I definitely like the idea. Please get that going.

The database code is rather static - so if you are interesting in adding Gentle.NET (like TVE3) to MP just go for it. It doesn't matter whether it would be weeks or months until you've finished a patch I'll look at it and adapt the changes needed to support other DBs then.

Cool!

It will take me a few weeks to get up to speed on the project. I will need to study the style guide, the current db implementation, and the Gentle.NET tools before I can make a contribution.

Better get started ...

befor you actualy start coding all these changes i should better tell you that we will "soon" announce "something" brand new which would make all the work you put into it obsolete.

sorry, can not tell you more at the moment.

Well I guess MP won't die instantly from an anouncement

Well I guess MP won't die instantly from an anouncement

but many ppl could be upset if we do not tell them that what they have planed to do might be oudated once they finished it.

its just fair to tell them.

Well, I guess I can tinker with it on my own then. If it becomes obsolete I'll just keep the code to myself
