Description
Hello people,
I want sugest a important feature. Would be very helpfull if bitlbee connect in a mysql server to authentication. With this, many irc networks like here in brasnet.org will share the nick/pass between services and bitlbee.
About LDAP.. Why not MySQL first? Many services is using mysql like epona and ptlink.. None use LDAP.
Thanks, Mauritz

AFAIK MySQL replication is extemely sensitive for version differences, things like that. Never tried it myself though.
Anyway, for our purposes, MySQL is most definitely not the right thing to do. (See the point about access control.) Shouldn't be hard to add it later though. But remember that BitlBee will want to store everything (buddies, settings, IM-accounts, etc) in the db, not just a password. So your database would need some changes for this anyway.

If you're going to add support for toy databases like MySQL, surely PostgreSQL support should also be added?

Support for both MySQL and PostGreSQL will most likely depend on outside contributions. For now, the focus is on LDAP support.

Just want to share that I wrote a mysql storage engine myself. The code is not synced with latest code base.

NICE
Lowering priority.
AFAIK MySQL's replication support is crap, and that's pretty much the reason we want to implement LDAP support. Adding MySQL support shouldn't be hard though, with the storage abstraction layer in place.
Also, AFAIK with LDAP you can get better access control than with MySQL, which is certainly important for public servers.
