[kdepim-users] KAddressbook and a DB Backend

[Christian Frommeyer]

Hi,

after having trouble lately with too long processing times for storing a 
simple change in a stored address I decided to store my addresses (380 
addresses taking 1.5 MB) in a database mostly for performance reasons, 
but as well to share the information with my wife. My first Idea was to 
use ldap as Backend. This prooved to be a bit tricky but I manged to 
set up ldap and Kontact to work together. Just to find out that kontact 
cannot save all data to ldap which result in data loss (without 
warning). As the major reason to use kaddressbook is the flexibility to 
handle addresses with more post/email-addresses/phone numbers/etc its 
not an option to use just a subset.

Now I'm searching for a diffrent way to bring all the data from kontact 
to a database. I read a discussion from 2004 about a possible mysql 
interface, but it looks like this was never implemented/released. Has 
someone heard of s.th. the like or more information how i could knitt 
an interface myself?

Regards Chris
