Subject: mysql as a backend
Date: 09 Nov 1999 09:31:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m17ljr7esc.fsf@halfdome.holdit.com> (raw)


has anyone done any work on hooking up a database like mysql as a back end?

I was thinking of a few approaches:

1) put a wrapper around a mysql commandline invocation

2) write a Perl program that would ensure clean input/output using DBI/DBD
   but with an easily parseable command interface, then wrap that

3) like 2, but make the interface NNTP to Perl to Mysql, and use standard
   nntp: driver

Any thoughts?  Am I crazy?
