Hi All, This may be a silly question, but are there any plans/is it possible (or even a good idea) to build in SQLite support to FreeRADIUS? To me it seems like a nice lightweight in-between for SQL DB and local file DB type auth - The convenience of integration of SQL with things like PHP/Perl without the overhead of a MySQL daemon or whatever (ie: handy for embedded devices/etc).
From what I can gather, it is theoretically possible now via FreeRADIUS<->ODBC<->SQLite, but it seems like a bit of a messy way to do it.
Thoughts/comments? Cheers, Fenn.

Maybe. The main problem with SQLite is that it's really only for one reader/writer at a time. I think it works with multiple readers and writers, but is probably less efficient.

As always, patches are welcome. :) Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
