Possible to use mysql database? (community.nodebb.org)

I'm looking to use nodebb to run debates and will eventually require integration with our customer database - mysql. This would also allow us to develop integration with our favoured cms. I know the word "mysql" is anathema round here but is this possible? It would surely open nodebb up to a much larger market.

Possible, of cause but it'd be heavy effort and a step into the wrong (in my opinion) direction. But you asked whether it's possible...

So... You'd need to implement an appropriate to one of the available (redis, mongodb, leveldb) interfaces: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/tree/master/src/database I guess with sth. like https://github.com/mysql/mysql-js it shouldn't be too hard to do so. But still much work to do (and to maintain) and I doubt that any of the devs around here is willing to do this (at least without :gift:).

I doubt that it'd get much larger since those who insist in SQL-database types are mostly those who are afraid of new (and better in many cases) technology such as node.js.
