Re: [Serusers] problem with compiling the new CVS release

Folks, I have been working on a new database abstraction layer for SER for a while and I'll start commiting it in CVS now. Please excuse me if something is broken temporarily, this is a major improvement that touches all modules that use the database. This change does not affect Ottendorf, of course. The new DB layer will appear in 2.1 The main objectives for doing major changes in the DB API are: 1) Better support for databases that are not based on SQL, like Berkeley db, LDAP, and fas in-memory databases. 2) The new code will no more store fetch all data from the database in one step, it will be possible to get the data row by row (common problem in usrloc) 3) Support for queries over multiple databases with various strategies (i.e. usrloc database can be partitioned). 4) Support for database failover (i.e. if the primary database fails that SER can start using another one, which can be even of different type, i.e. mysql->postgres) I provide you with more details and documentation later once the first version is in CVS.
