Provided as-is, and without warranty, this "plugin" may destroy your server, soul, scalp, house, and life. Please use it with caution.

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 The flat file databases are unused when you put the MySQL adaptor in place, and they are untouched (and indeed not deleted) by it, the MySQL adaptor only queries the MySQL tables for membership information, without trying to force you into using it fulltime by deleting anything, etc. Once you unconfigure the MySQL adaptor, Mailman should revert back to your existing flat file databases. Of course, I could have missed something, etc. so do back up your flat file databases before installing the MySQL adaptor, and then you can just migrate back to them by restoring the backups. Either way, you have come up with a good question for an FAQ on the SQL adaptor :-) K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: simboforge (simboforge) Date: 2005-03-11 22:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1226150 neat. just what i was looking for. i have a couple of live lists running on version version 2.1.5. i am a bit leary about unzipping this distrobution over the top of my working mailman as i am not sure how to backup the existing flat file databases. i would prefer to experiment with dropping the adapter into my existing installation. any pointers as to where to start? thx ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2004-12-13 18:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Oh, btw. v1.57 hasn't been tested yet, so it might kill your server, eat your dog, and stick your wife in the oven. Be careful using it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kev Green (kyrian) Date: 2004-12-13 18:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99923 Version 1.57: 2004/12/13 * Merge in Daniel Shriver patch/code for a flat table architecture.
