RE: Re: xplmedianet database
Hi guys,

Where did use of flat files come from? Did I miss something?
It's important to remember the work that SlimDevices are currently
undertaking - they're moving SlimServer to a database back-end, to give
them greater flexibility in querying their data and improving
performance for large libraries.
There should be no issues in developing a relational database that can
be hosted by Access, SQL Server, Oracle, mySQL etc.
Provided that some thought goes into the design process, and the queries
are suitably platform-neutral (i.e. don't use any MS-specific stuff)
then you should end up with support for a number of database back-ends.
Just my thoughts,
Regards,
John
