Post #274,283 by drewk 11/28/06 9:31:52 PM Reply	I'm really starting to think there's something to my idea The one about a return to mainframe-style programming. The problem with war stories is that they are often applicable only to a small range of problems. And frame apps -- and associated data storage architectures -- were typically written to solve a small range of problems. "Small" frequently meaning "one". === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #274,298 by drewk 11/28/06 11:21:11 PM Reply	It's a solution to a specific problem If small and fast is more important than rich feature support (eg: foreign key constraints, some triggers, some join syntax, etc.), and if you can do all permissions through filesystem configuration and application code, then you can use it. It's great for embedded, standalone and single-user systems. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

I do most of my programming in PHP these days. - (static) - Nov. 27, 2006, 10:34:44 PM EST

We're back to a scalability layer. - (static) - (3) - Nov. 27, 2006, 11:56:01 PM EST

You can do that with PEAR - (drewk) - (1) - Nov. 28, 2006, 12:06:04 AM EST

A few ideas - (admin) - (6) - Nov. 27, 2006, 10:39:30 PM EST

How critical is update ordering? - (drewk) - (5) - Nov. 27, 2006, 11:39:34 PM EST

Critical. - (admin) - (4) - Nov. 27, 2006, 11:39:52 PM EST

That's could be really hard. - (static) - (3) - Nov. 28, 2006, 12:02:19 AM EST

One reason why I lean towards all-in-memory - (admin) - (2) - Nov. 28, 2006, 12:22:31 AM EST

Doable from a database as well... - (ChrisR) - (1) - Nov. 28, 2006, 10:31:08 AM EST

I didn't say it wasn't doable. - (admin) - Nov. 28, 2006, 10:58:05 AM EST

That's what I thought, for the most part. - (admin) - Nov. 28, 2006, 12:09:15 PM EST

Or how about we do this: - (admin) - Nov. 28, 2006, 12:12:41 PM EST

Have you looked at the O'Reilly database war stories? - (tonytib) - (4) - Nov. 28, 2006, 02:16:07 AM EST

Yes, I've seen those before. - (admin) - (3) - Nov. 28, 2006, 12:10:03 PM EST

XBase, of course. - (pwhysall) - (1) - Nov. 28, 2006, 09:15:25 AM EST

I heard that -NT - (tablizer) - Nov. 28, 2006, 05:28:39 PM EST
