Re: [GWhere-discussion] GWhere database support

[Zero - GWhere]

Hi everybody,


I'm working on a generic interface (API) for catalog plugins. The goal of
this interface is to integrate easily some plugins to store database in
GWhere file format (or other file format), in XML or in any SGBD (MySQL,
Oracle, Sybase, BerleleyDB, ...).

The interface is not be stable yet. More ever I must finish the GWhere
plugin to validate this interface of plugin. I hope to publish soon this new
functinality.
In this way it will be easily to store GWhere database in MySQL!!

Nicola, your project in PHP should be a great thing. I can keep you informed
of the evolution of the catalog plugin.
