[Spambayes] Modified Classifier storage

[manuel+spambayes at af0.net]

Hi,

I'm looking to store a bunch of storage.Classifiers in a database  
indexed by user (in other words, so that each user gets his own  
classifier). It seems I could do this easily enough by modifying  
mySQLClassifier or similar (though I'd like to use SQLObject so I'm  
not tied to a specific database server), but before I go and mess  
with that, I was wondering if there's an easier way. For example, I  
could probably create a classifier.Classifier instead, and just  
pickle it to and from a database record (one per user), but without  
looking closer at the code I'm unclear if that's completely batty or  
not.

I figured I'll go ahead and modify the SQL Classifiers to just add to  
the record a "user" field, and select the records specific to that  
user (seems  to be the least-likely-to-suck-for-performance option),  
but if anyone has any comments on this, I'd appreciate the input.

By the way, before people tell me stuff like "just run SpamBayes  
separately for each user," I'm using SpamBayes's Bayesian  
classification system for something entirely different, just because  
it seemed among those that suited my needs best. So that suggestion  
isn't an option here. :)

Thanks,
Manuel
