[JDEV] Re: Checking for messages without actually receiving them

[Raditha Dissanayake]

hi David, 

You are right i guess you can do the same with xdb_file too. Taking into 
what you say about transports i guess xdb_file would be more stable in deed. 
However i recommended xdb_sql cause it's easier IMHO to do a db query in PHP 
than to parse the user.xml (and i love xdb_sql :-) )
