Multi-User database

manders2600 · 01-04-2013, 04:24 AM

First off, I want to say a big, "Thank you!" to Kovid for this awesome program, I've been using it for a few years now, and it is fantastic!

Second, I have occasionally heard mentions of a database rewrite, or something that would allow multiple instances of Calibre to interact with the same database, etc, and was wondering if this was still in development?

If not, is there a way to convert the Calibre db to a MySQL db, and have multiple instances of Calibre connect through it that way?

It is still in development.

Awesome!

Out of curiosity, is there active development on this that I can check out (I only see a master branch on github)? I'm trying to teach myself more about databases as a little work-related side-project, and I'd love to take a look, maybe learn some things, maybe contribute.

calibre is not developed in github. Get the source code by following the instructions here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html

The new backed is being developed in the db/* directory.

Ah, cool. I've never used bazaar, but I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks!

Dont worry about the version control system, I am perfectly happy to receive patches via email, the important thing is the code
