Re: [Vfs-devel] Update on file storage inside MySQL.

[Abdul-Wahid P. <ee...@we...>]

Hi Tony,

Sorry to take so long to reply. Hecktic week. To make it worse I am
leaving the country at the weekend for a week and have loads of things to
prepare first.

I think the first thing we need to do is get something running so that we
can make a release with a mySQL port. I have nearly finished doing the
class.DBI stuff but don't know if I will be able to finish before I go
away. I might be able to get something done though whilst I am away.


I will let you know when I have finished the class.DBI stuff and then you
can submit your stuff to the CVS.

Seeya,

AW
