But it does still require manual intervention, and there are still the macro issues of whether you really want people to have to acquire some DBA skillz to read their mail. I was *not* proposing this approach. I remain of the opinion that mysql is also too heavyweight for this, though. If the akonadi folk don't like sqlite, maybe they should be looking into something like bdb. Embedded databases are simply different critters from database servers, and trying to pretend that code designed as the latter can be used as the former is not going to lead to anything but pain. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
