Perhaps but I assume you're not running Facebook on DropBox :) Certainly there is still interesting use cases for RDBMS's and the engines therein. InnoDB has caught up so much that PBXT no longer has the edge, but I still find it very interesting. Were Paul to have the resources InnoDB does, I suspect PBXT would be significant. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~pbxt-discuss Post to : pbxt-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~pbxt-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
