[Pdns-users] clarification about mysql or gmysql (?)

[Michel Stol]

Anshuman,

The g in gmysql has nothing to do with GTK+, it stands for 'generic'.
With the generic database backends you can specify which SQL queries that
PowerDNS will use to retrieve it's data.

More information is available here:
