[Evolution] addressbook: Berkely DB `addressbook.db` and Sqlite3 DB `contacts.db`

[Paul Menzel <paulepanter users sourceforge net>]

Dear Evolution folks,


looking at the addressbooks there are two databases.

        $ file ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db 
        /home/joe/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db: SQLite 3.x database
        $ file ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/addressbook.db
        /home/joe/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/addressbook.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, 
native byte-order)

Both seem to have been accessed recently. So I wonder why two databases
are needed.

Searching the WWW for Âevolution contacts.db did not give any good
hits. Also searching through the source code did not bring up an
overview either.


Thanks,

Paul
