Feature Requests Merge NCM and NPM Databases

Implemented

over 4 years ago

Merge NCM and NPM Databases

NCM now uses two databases to store its data -- NPM/Core db and NCM db. The suggestion is to store all NCM data in the NPM/Core database. The expected benefit is simpler db management; issues connected with node synchronization should disappear.

Please provide your comments.

Hi NetEng33,
We totally understand your concerns -- they are similar to other users.
A substantial part of the merge would also be performance optimization and testing.
I believe that we can find a way that will work for everyone.
Regards,
Jiri

I agree with the idea of having a "Core" database and then also having seperate databases for each of the modules. I don't mind NPM being the core database. I would like to see NCM, NTA, SAM, VNQM, etc. There is a lot in these databases that can be stored in the Core database and referenced there. I do a lot of custom content and need to perform tasks in the databases for this content. It would be nice to have a Core database, so that I do not have to update multiple tables across multiple databases to change the same data.
