sql-ledger and MySQL

[klavs k. <kl...@vs...>]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to sql-ledger - I got pointed to it by my local LUG
(www.sslug.dk).

I can see it only supports postgres, which is very unfortunate for me,
as my only server only has 64mb's of ram, and I'm running mysql (which I
use for my PHP) and a lot of other stuff on it already. This is my
reasoning for not wanting to embark on postgres ( please no flames :-).

I found some links describing that it was "only" a specific type of SQl
statements that didn't work in MySQL and that it also had something to
do with MySQL's lack of transaction support.

With the links I found, I could ofcourse just exchange the sql
statements as described and my version would probably be up and
running.. but I would very much like for whatever change, to be in the
main code, so that I wouldn't have to do the whole thing over again when
1.8.3 emerges, and so on.

Do you have any plans for example, for making SQL-ledger workable with
both databases.. seeing as how MySQL's Innodb gives it transactions
support, there shouldn't be an immediate problem, or?

well anyways, I'm very interested in your work with the sql-ledger and
hope to be able to use it, one way or the other.

Thank you in advance.
