<div dir="ltr">HI!<div><br></div><div>I also think a database is a better approach than a file base system. But you didn't address the first and biggest think to do. Before you can start coding you should really plan your database.</div>
<div>To create a database it is a real big work. You need to plan in advance even for feature are not at the horizon yet. If you plan it correctly you can then include localization as well. </div><div>I was thinking to jump on KStar to help, so maybe this is my cue. I will have to learn how the data are structured and I can help with the database development. But I would like to see some diagram here in the Kde-Edu list.</div>
<div>So that all the KStar team can also have a look and give their opinion.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Marco</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 4:39 AM, Alexander Wolf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alex.v.wolf@gmail.com" target="_blank">alex.v.wolf@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div><div>1) We will not have to ship so many files with Kstars</div><div>2) Loading from database is quicker than doing same from file</div><div>3) Code for load methods will be reduced in size</div><div><br></div>
<div>Cons:</div><div>1) I will have to move all data from files into database by temporary methods </div><div><br></div><div>So I am planning to start coding to replace file system by database on my local branch. </div><div>
<br></div><div>Can you please give your views and suggestion regarding the same ? I am sure that It will be very helpful to me. :)</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>What about localization support for strings (like names of DSO) from those files?</div>
