Data Source question

Hello,

since I am a single person and using it privately, I am using RDM free. However, as an IT-guy, I have multiple devices at home and a server-landscape with multiple VMs, Labs, etc.

I am managing that from RDM, and I have two computers I am using, a Windows PC desktop and a Macbook. Both running RDM locally.

Now, I am aware that SQLite is not supported nor recommended to be put on the SMB share. However, from the single user standpoint, there is for me no downside, even if it can do single writes only. I can't make changes on both instances at once.

I am trying the Personal Hub, however I see no benefit for me, except one downside: my data is online (nevermind the security aspect here now).

I was hoping that it would be a "live" kind, but I still have to refresh the database, for entries to become visible. Don't know how it would respond to conflicts, but that really isn't an issue, I don't have 1500 entries and I must use refresh manually...

So, long story short: is there a way to stop the nagging line that SQLite is not supported and recommended on shared drives?

Thanks

Kosta

Hello Kosta,

We understand the concerns you have raised regarding the shared SQLite data source. We currently have no plans to support accessing SQLite data sources from a network path, however, due to potential challenges regarding corruption when the file is accessed from multiple sources. While it is not your scenario, it is not possible for us to validate this.

If you prefer not to use a cloud data source, we suggest considering an XML file as an alternative. However, please note that XML files do not support licensed versions. Therefore, if you eventually decide to switch to a licensed version, you will need to migrate to a different data source. Both SQLite and Hub Personal data sources are compatible with licensing.

For more information on selecting the appropriate data source type, please consult the following resource: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/windows/getting-started/checklist-individuals/select-data-source-type/

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

Best regards,

Richard Boisvert

Hello,

thank you for the information.

However still, I am missing an answer to my main question:

Can this be turned off?

Thanks
