<br>
The 5.0.0 release info was informative re mysql development. I cannot<br>
find anything else beyond this.<br>
<br>
mysql shows experimental in 5.3.0 that I have running.<br>
<br>
My options:<br>
<br>
1. start with sqlite, then migrate to mysql/maria at the right time.<br>
<br>
2. start with mysql/maria now.<br>
<br>
<br>
My collection is getting close to 100K and I have experience with<br>
mysql/maria and prefer postgresql actually. I have replicated postgres<br>
servers running backends for other apps.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any pointers would be very much appreciated. I am really looking<br>
forward to working with digKam. Migrating from Lr5; another Win app to<br>
leave behind :).<br>
<br>
