Posibility to let the user choose the database file location #26

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I was wondering if it's possible to let the user choose where to save the
database file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
None

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that I can use some API functions to let the user choose where to
save the SQLLite database (Site File) on his personal PC so the user will
know where he is keeping his data.

This way the user will be more aware of where his information is been
stored, he will be able to take it to another PC and also be able to back
it up.

Gears considers the location of the database file, it's structure, etc an
implementation detail. Will leave this bug open, but unacknowledged. Unclear 
whether
we want to do this.

I must have missed this the first time around.  I can see why the reporter 
would like
to have this behaviour, but I think it's way beyond the remit of Gears.  To a 
certain
extent, Gears uses SQLite as an internal implementation strategy, and it is very
possible that at some point the Gears SQLite databases will not be strictly
interoperable with non-Gears SQLite databases.  Something like this is really 
more
like the discussions we've had in the past about having a Database-like layer to
access mysql or postgresql, this would make perfect sense in that context.

Hello,
This feature is useful also for those with multiboot machines when offline and 
can
not sync with server between alternative boots.
Regards.

Hello,
With configurable database location, it would be possible to use different 
browsers
at same computer.
Regards.
