[TYPO3-dev] current usage of DBAL, FYI: I gave up

[Steffen Ritter]

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that I gave up my DBAL tests.
With the patch mentioned and a useful configuration I could use fe_user 
and fe_group from another db (which I made typo3 redable by views).
BUT thats where the real big problems startet... There is no Editing in 
BE possible without joining und fe_groups and no page rendering without 
joining fe_sessions on fe_users and so on... In fact, systables on 
another db won't work.
But: we probably should think about altering dbal, with Query Splitting 
and manual joining methods.

FIY: How I did it...
I just created a new database on external db (indeed connected over ssl 
tunnel) and moved my whole t3 database there.
Then I just created my views directly in this database using information 
of another (but on the same server).
This works fine, even Updating of users in BE is possible.
Now I finaly can concentrate on the main task: writing auth service ^^


kind regard

Steffen
