I don't think that there are those plans.

We are talking about the NDOUtils from Ethan which you can use to give
information _from_ Nagios _to_ a database.

We are not talking about getting the nagios configuration _from_ a DB
_to_ nagios...

The NDOUtils are just a way to get data from nagios, NDO <=> NagiosDataOut.

NDOUtils have some very nice boni, like faster access to the information
itself.

f.e. a well placed select to a DB is much faster than parsing a huge
logfile on the filesystem.

Hope that clears up your curiosity ;-)

Hendrik
