E-sword Module Database Change
Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 6:46 pm
As has been mentioned before, version 3.7 was to have the beginnings of an e-sword module converter. However, I learned today that within the last couple weeks the e-sword database type has been changed. Originally, they were simply Microsoft JET/Access database files. Now they are in the same database format as Bible Analyzer, SQLite. But this does not mean Bible Analyzer can read e-sword directly, because it can't. There are three reasons, different table names, different markup language (e-sword uses RTF while Bible Analyzer uses HTML), and some e-sword modules are encrypted.
I do not want to convert both e-sword formats, so which do you all prefer, if any? The old JET type modules will likely soon pass into oblivion. Also, I can only convert unencrypted modules. All the modules on the e-sword site are encrypted. Only user made modules are open to conversion.
