Re: (clug-talk) Query - Database Requirements

[Cameron Nikitiuk]

Sorry...I should have been a bit more accurate in my description.  I 
have been looking at a few projects but one project called Netjuke 
(netjuke.sourceforge.net), which is a cross-platfrom music database that 
runs on MySQL and Postgre.

I think that is what I was meaning in my explanation.  That I would 
store the physical files elsewhere but maintain the details and some 
sort of link in the database itself.  If I am not mistaken I think that 
is how Netjuke works...but I could be wrong.

Any suggestions for RAM and HDD space or anything else I shoud consider?

Hi Cam,
I use postgress(been using it since 1996, but not on the same box) and 
it should not be a problem on a P90 for a home intranet...I just don't 
see whay you'd want to store the *mp3(raw binary) into the 
database(Databases are not filesystems), a simpler use would be to store 
the URL for the files on the database and store the actual files 
somewhere in the system...
