           Summary: allow use of other database backends such as postgres
                    and mysql
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: graham crazysquirrel com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

While I realize that digikam is currently hard coded to use sqlite it would be useful for me (and I suspect others) to also be able to use other database systems such as postgres and mysql.

My primary reason for wanting digikam to be able to use other RDMS (in particular postgres) is so that I can develop a web front end for the digikam database. I would release any front end under a free license (probably an Apache style licence). Java drivers for sqlite are currently difficult to get working (especially on 64bit) and I believe unsupported at present.
