Hello All!   
      
   I considering looking at the migration of the internal mbse database    
   processing to a RDB system and would   
   like to use MySQL / Mariadb.   
      
      
   Why you ask?   
   Well the issue of sharing the DB with other parallel mbse systems running is    
   the primary requirement but   
   the efficiency of it over the internal one is another although not so much -    
   at least until DB files get   
   screwed due to corruption or other.   
      
      
   I have not purchased at great expence a Raspberry Pi 3B+ along with a spare    
   HDD sitting on a dock.   
   Still have to work out how to get it to boot to it as their instructions do    
   not work but at least I can   
   mount it to /home/mbse if nothing else.   
      
      
   How solution is to run often a rsync to the various directories within (but    
   not ~/bin) but that may   
   require a very frequent process that would take up a lot of Lan bandwidth.   
      
   The best idea would be to use a common RDB system as I have Mariadb on my    
   server, MySQL on a very rairely   
   used Mac Pro dual xeon quad core system (2008) that I was thinking of selling    
   but could possibly just use   
   it for a MySQL server (Parallel) or do Parallel on the Pi does depend on    
   performance a bit.   
   No I am not assuming the Pi will do a good job so will more than likely stick    
   to the server as it is   
   always up 24/7.  The problem is if it gets sick :(  Hence the reason for using    
   the Pi as a back up   
   system.   
      
      
      
   Has anyone done any examinations of the mbse code base to see what programs    
   use what DBs, what the   
   structure of each is and where in the code of each program the DB processing    
   is done or does it use a   
   modular approach to call specific routines in one module?   
      
      
   Any advanced help would be very welcome,   
      
   Even more so with my eyesight :(
