However, before and after that experiment the data was stored in [[Standard log files|Standard text files]]. He wrote in the forum (Mon 23 Jun 2008 11:34 am) "I did have have a 'branch' of Cumulus in development which used an SQL database to store the data, and a bonus with storing the data this way was a nice spreadsheet-type display to allow you to edit any of the values easily and safely. It could also export the data (or ranges thereof) in various formats, e.g. Excel. But I had a few problems with the database software, so I abandoned it. I may have a go at putting it back in at some point, but that might not be until Cumulus 2."</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="diff-empty diff-side-deleted"></td> <td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td> <td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="diff-empty diff-side-deleted"></td> <td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td> <td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>When Steve Loft started Cumulus 3 (became MX), he conducted a poll in the support forum asking if people preferred text files or MySQL tables to store data. The response was that the majority of people found both useful, together with a suggestion that "SQLite3" was a simpler way to store database tables than MySQL. Anyway, MX has implemented the text files listed for this category, the SQLite3 files with a .db extension listed for this category, and supports MariaDB (or MySQL) on an external database server.</div></td> </tr> </table>
