Databases

[Andy Jarrett]

Hi again

Right been thinking about databases.

My personal preference is MySQL due to it friendliness when it comes
to pagination etc. Plus its free + open source which fits into what we
are doing?

Whats everyone elses thoughts?

Make it DB agnostic.

[Dan Wilson]

I agree with both of you in a way...

The goals of this project are lofty and wide. We need to start getting some code delivered and get the momentum of this project moving forward. Supporting all databases is definitely the right overall direction for the project. Supporting only MYSQL is probably the right direction right now.

I am in favor of adding as many limitations to the project as necessary to start delivering some code.  We are all intelligent engineers and when the project has some concrete code, we can easily refactor to provide such important characteristics as DB agnosticism, a plugin architecture, n+1 configurability...




Thoughts?

I think thats the plan.

I meant for more initial development thats all I suppose.

Some people have existing infrastructure that they'll want to
utilize. With that said, MS SQL and other DB's should also be
supported. I do think that MySQL should be the first supported DB for
this project, but not the only one.
