No it doesn't. The idea was that all database information should

stored in the same location. Off the top of my head, I think that
using separate database types would complicate DBManager.py quite a
bit. Currently it just assumes that everything is in the same DB, so
there would need to be extra checks to see which DB holds which
information, and then use the appropriate DB for each case. In fact,
this would probably mean using two DBManager objects, one for jobs
and one for users (currently only one DBManager object is used by
plague-server). I don't know if that is a bad or good thing, I just
think it is pretty complicated compared to the current situation.
Sounds... messy. Hm.
I think the easier thing to do is to write a tool for extracting all
user info from sqlite in order to import it into mysql/pgsql. I'll
try to work on that this weekend.
Gotcha. I think you're right... just trying to keep the future 0.4
-> 0.5 migration pain at a lower level than 0.3 -> 0.4. :)
