Still Alive?

Hi guys,
I would like to receive some information about the state of the
project McKoi: I have seen in some old posts to the list  the project
is supposed to be still alive, but since the announcement from Toby of
an incoming release, everything seems death calm.
I tried contacting Toby directly couple of weeks ago, but since then I
had no response.

I've been working for a while in an organization which makes use of
McKoi for some  embedded systems: we're quite happy of the
performances and the project manageability itself.
Anyway, since we need to would like some assurances about the vitality
of the tools we're going to use, we are considering switching to some
other systems (such as SQLite or similar), although we wouldn't.

Hope I will get a positive response from the list.

Cheers.
John

Re: Still Alive?

hi,

as i know, mckoi is not under active development at the moment. just have a look at the last release.
you should switch to a other projekt like hsqldb, h2 or derby. they seems to be very active (have a look at the
derby mailing list).
for an overview of java database systems have a look at http://java-source.net

once mckoi was my first choice, but now i prefer derby.

cheers

Re: Still Alive?

Hi John,

Sorry to say that I gave up on McKoi many months ago after
it corrupted the database a couple of times and there seemed
to be no help or response on the mailing list. I tried Derby or
JavaDB but finally ended up with hsqldb because of support
for boolean data types. I have been completely satisfied with
it and can recommend it for embedded as well as server use.
