Hi, 
A few months ago there was a lot of activity on nessus-devel about
adding a database backend to Nessus.  I was just wondering what the
status of this effort was.  I haven't seen much activity on NESSUS_SQL
or the -devel list regarding this effort recently, is the effort still
on-going?


Also, regarding the database schema.  The PLUGIN table uses a
VARCHAR(15) for the revision.  It's not clear if this is meant to be
just the number, or if it includes the $Revision stuff as well.  If the
later then it should be a longer string, as '$Revision: x.Y $' is 16
characters.  I would suggest at least 18 (incase Y > 10).

thanks,
