nxMyDB - Back from the Grave

[neoxed]

After some encouragement from a certain user in the ioFTPD community, I decided to pick up my database module project again. Over the last few days I have rewritten roughly five thousand lines of code. There is still work to be done, but it's partially functional at the moment.

Completed:

• MySQL connection support (with SSL and compression optional)
• Persistent connection pool support for high volume servers
• Write-only support for the user-file and group-file backend (user/group files are updated)
• Reads default.user and default.group for user and group creation
• Module operations: create, delete, rename, lock, unlock, open, write, and close.
• Timer to synchronize the local user and group cache.
• Smart-renames for users and groups when syncing.
• Group rename support.
• Spin-able locking mechanism.

Unfinished:

• Higher precision clock for the updated times.

• Sep 1, 2007 - Post created.
