digiKam with another database backend than SQLite
Submitted by Holger Foerster on Mon, 2010-03-22 21:00Last summer I saw bug #127321 an thought, this can be done by me (partly at least).
After some (successful) prototypic implementation, most of the time where spent into smooth integration in the existing
project:
- adding a solution for migrating from SQLite to MySQL and vice versa
- add possibiliy to start an own database server
- and bug fixing...
Because only a few persons trying out this work (which resides atm. in a dedicated branch), the most bugs are possible undiscovered.
So if you are brave enough to crash your whole existing database structure (images are not touched), have a little amount of free time or you would like
to have the future right now and you are able to compile your version by yourself: You are the right person :)
