No database required

Open pathiaki opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I'd like to see Mailwatch NOT require a database. Yes, it may lose some functionality, but spinning up a database for a non-virtual mail system is just unnecessary overhead. I'm servicing small/medium businesses with only single domains. There's nothing necessary beyond MailScanner, Postfix, Dovecot, etc.... Spinning up any database is just overhead for these customers.

Thank you!

You can use mailscanner without Mailwatch. There is no requirement to use Mailwatch unless you want the graphical interface

I just want Mailwatch as the GUI to Mailscanner. I'd like to see it usable without spinning up MySQL or any other database. Or, allow it to use my existing PostGreSQL database. (Optimally, NOT using a database for it is probably best.)

Next version will come with full PDO support, and will support out of the box MySQL (with all flavours), PostgreSQL and SQLite

Nice. I'm glad the mailwatch project is headed in this direction.
MySQL is shrinking and PgSQL seem to be skyrocketing given it's ability to have NoSQL data along with type RDB SQL data.

Good job going in this direction!
