I'm sure this has cropped up in one guise or another on various threads but I'm not sure theres a specific thread to discuss the technicalities of it so I thought I'd start one.
As xbmc grows and springs up on more and more platforms I was wondering if it would be possible to incorporte an ODBC layer between XBMC and the database. This would allow different platforms to use, should they wish, different database engines and would also allow users to chose their own scale of system to suite their needs, from small scale to power user. I'm sure theres a whole host of SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL devs out their itching to get their media collection onto their favorite db platform. I'd be more than happy to get stuck in on the SQL Server implimentation
