</div>I'll test using separate databases for images and thumbnails, in the meantime<br>
could you explain the rationale for using different databases in mysql for<br>
tables and thumbs?<br>
<br>
Because I was thinking on this the last week and made no sense to me, either it<br>
should be possible to have different types of databases i.e. images on mysql<br>
and thumbs on sqlite, or it should be all in one database, so I'm curious of<br>
this one<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I like to keep thumbnails separate for the sole reason of slim backups. <br>Explanation:<br>I run a sql backup every week, and having 1.3GB as thumbnails, it is a bit heavy. The image DB has 130MB only (contains 56k images at the moment, interestingly, the bulk data is copyrights). So I don't do backups on thumbnails. Should I loose them, digikam will rebuild them in 2 hours.<br>
Digikam foresees the dual DB system in the settings: you can specify two schema names. And, by the way, when using sqlite it uses to DBs as well.<br><br>Gerhard<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
