<pre class="k9mail">Hello,<br /><br />i use often Digikam, and i thought having a support of postgresql would <br />be great.<br /><br />Postgresql is a great database, highly flexible, powerful and with <br />plugins like postgis (real spatial plugin), with possibility to use <br />triggers on events, personnalized data structures, and much more.<br /><br />The possibilities are bigger than using a simple database like sqlite, <br />and i think it could help much for improve Digikam.<br /><br />As example, the postgis plugin could help to create a function of <br />research pictures taken within a determined range, based on gps coordinates.<br /><br />Another example could be in a networked environnement, pictures could be <br />stored on a computer, but database could be accessed from another pc by <br />another user who work with the first one by using digikam (collaborative <br />work)<br /><br />Including support of Postgresql could improve functionnalities of Digikam.<br /><br />This could help too to make it more popular, and more accessible.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br /><br /><br />Philolilou<br /><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
