Subject: Re: [FLEx] Re: What's Next?
From: David Baines david_bai...@sil.org > Is the team planning to add support for other database engines, so that FLEx will work with other database engines as well as SQL Server? Well, I'm not Susanna, but I understand the issue, since I have been doing a lot of experimental work on the revised FieldWorks (FW) base code. The architecture I developed allows for changing from one data storage system to another fairly easily. By 'fairly easily' I mean that had this new system been in place all along, then moving from a Windows only specific database system, such SqlServer, to a cross platform database system, such as Firebird, could have been done in less than one day. In fact, believe it could have been done before lunch. :-) > Or has a decision been made to replace one database engine with another? I don't know that there are plans to have users select a data storage system when installing FW, but I understand the plan is to use one that works on both Windows and Linux. I don't think any decisions have been made on any particular data storage mechanism at this time. The new architecture doesn't actually require that decision to be made at this point anyway, since they can be changed fairly easily. Randy Regnier You must Sign in before you can post messages.
