Elsewhere, you have some changes to do some SQL integration; would there
be any value to having one of the alternative be to stow this data via
an SQL engine?
There may be a downside to such... It's probably not a nice thing to
introduce a dependancy on either:
a) requiring a DB server to be installed on each host running
cfengine, or
b) introducing a deep dependancy on a central DB server, where failure
of that could cause all of cfengine to fall over
I suspect that between a) and b), this would be a terrible idea, and
that it's *way* better to use a DBM variation.
On the other hand, there might well be value in providing a way to dump
out the contents of a host's DBM data with a view to loading it some
place central for analysis.
