switch from rdf to sqlite #30

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
we don't know how long rdf will be supported and rdf code constantly crashes...

This would break compatibility with Firefox 2 (no sqlite templates there),
so no hurry here.

I looked into this somewhat. There are some problems:
 - SQL sucks for tree structures. It can be made to work, but the results aren't pretty. RDF on the other hand can handle arbitrary graphs.
 - SQLite backed XUL templates aren't really meant to handle tree structures. I found some hacks to make this work for menus. I'd probably have to write a custom tree view for the settings, though.
 - It would basically necessitate a complete rewrite of the extension.

So.. this is probably not gonna happen unless circumstances change (i.e. RDF is 
removed or recursive SQLite templates are added).
