[campcaster-dev] MySQL and Campcaster?

    Hi all,

    As we get closer to the first release of the 'Radio Package,' which enables
    interoperability between Campcaster and the Campsite content management
    system, the question comes up again about what it would take to migrate
    Campcaster's storage server to MySQL.

    Doing so would have obvious benefits for interoperability with the other
    projects - not to mention ease of installation - but I'm not sure whether
    this is even possible (if I recall correctly, we need Postgres'
    transactionality, but MySQL has been making progress on this front).

    Can someone - maybe Tomas, Paul, or Holman - give me a better idea of the
    kind of work involved?

    Thanks in advance,

    Migrating Campcaster to MySQL is a medium-sized task, lots of work, but
    there arent really any unknowns to it.

    It also depends if we want to keep postgres as a supported database or
    not. If so, this increases the work a good bit (a couple extra weeks).

    If just moving to MySQL, this is relatively easy. I would estimate 2-3
    weeks probably.
