Pluggable Database support? #18

Open Xe opened 9 years ago

This would allow the mechanism of database access to be isolated from the core and allow things like OlegDB, SQLite, or other things like Cassandra for storage.

This is a pretty complex task as Arata uses SafeCopy for serialization to and de-serialization from the current acid-state data store. Serializing to a table-based data store is a lot different so you can imagine how much thought would need to be put into such a DataStoreExport or similar so that it could be used to export both acid-state data stores and table-based data stores.

This isn't a wontfix, but such an enhancement would require a fair bit of work and is low priority right now.
