I'm agree with you Marcel. Qt4 is exactly what we need about to make a new DB interface.

This is want mean that we will delay this task later to have ported digiKam to Qt4/CMake, of course, later 0.9.0 relase.

Other point to talk is about the database structure : if we use new DB backends, we can change something in structure at the same time ?

There are other files in B.K.o witch require database changes, especially to perform search about photograph informations, like aperture for example, or GPS coordinates.

I think we can change database structure at the same time because in all cases, we will need an tool to migrate from sqlite to new DB backend. We just need to take a care about the new structure to be more flexible than the actual.

Question : Marcel, Paco, are you already some experiences about database?

Personaly, i have already managed database used PHP. I know all base of DB management, but i'm not a specialist (:=))).
