Like most things, it depends. If you need ACID properties for your messages, using a database will be a lot easier than building your own special-purpose ACID database. And you probably already have some work invested in making your RDBMS scale, so it doesn't add a new point of failure. But sure, if you have the money for commercial IBM stuff, it works. Some of the open source Java solutions may be viable too. - Perrin _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
