[Opensim-dev] Estates Estates everywhere and nowhere to save

[Teravus Ovares]

My thoughts on this topic are as follows.

I'm finding it to be a frustrating task implementing new database based
functions because of the significant differences in the way each 'plugin'
does the storage and creation.  To implement something in database full, it
needs to be implemented in three different plugins.  In that respect, a flat
file is a plus.

On the negative side, I'm agreed that it does get unmaintainable quickly in
a larger deployment.

If I had to pick one over the other, I'd go with a database or otherwise
centrally located store so that regions could simply reload their
configuration (from the central store) when an estate level change is made.

Best Regards

Teravus
