Yup. A BK database is actually a BK repostory with an SQL layer on top of it. So all of the stuff you can do with BK you can do with BK/Database. We can export changes as patches, as flat files, as associative arrays in perl, take your pick.

Cool. I've already tracked down an SQL hacker who is willing to contract with us to write the scripts to get the data out of your Bugzilla database. He said that I need to ask you to do this:
shut down the mysql database grab all the MySQL files and stuff them in a tarball turn on the mysql database again
Then he can set up a mysql instance here and start hacking on the scripts. How's that sound? -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
