I'm thinking of setting up an address-book on my server, but I'm not sure whether to use LDAP or MySQL.
As I see it, LDAP is actually designed for this, and seems to have a more-or-less standard address-book format. On the other hand, I'm already using MySQL for several things, eg gallery2.
But there doesn't seem to be any standard address-book format for SQL. Another thing, kmail and other mail clients seem to have standard LDAP interfaces.
I don't really like LDAP, but it seems the way to go. Is that right ... ? I'd be interested to hear your views.
