Database other than Redis and Mongodb

[finid]

@bentael

That's good. Redis is it. I'll abandon MongoDB.

The other issue is that there's no way to switch databases after the initial setup/import, although with @bentael's help, I'm sure we could build an exporter compatible with nodebb-plugin-importer

[bentael]

@julian the import use the abstracted db module.. so you can import to anything.. but yea, after the import is done .. it's going to suck if you decide to switch

Thats why I was thinking about building a db.exportToJson() which would create the same json database output from mongo and redis. And then later db.importFromJson() so you can switch between the two. It would require some effort though.

that file might become one hell of a fat JSON - might run into memory issues trying to write/parse that

haha yeah 600mb json file

my vote for the next addition to our DBAL is csv flat file db.

[baris]

Looks like you can do mongoexport --collection objects --out objects.json in mongo.

@psychobunny probably more.. JSON is verbose

[baris]

If json is verbose I dont know what xml is

[bentael]

@baris i know lol, JSON is verbose comparing to csv for example, but obviously allows more complex structures.
