It sucks I agree :) But why would you need the other two databases if this thing gives you the performance (and better) of MySQL, and the GIS objects of PostGIS? > Assuming that handlerosm isn't tied to the webserver, so that the > replacement of Cherokee with Apache should be no problem!? It is extremely tight to the webserver :) It is a native plugin implementation directly incorporated with the webserver that pools database connections. (And uses it string management.) > How much of work would you estimate would be to replace MonetDB with > MySQL or (even better) PostgreSQL? MonetDB is probably the fastest thing out there; the current scheme of PostGIS isn't able to be used as OSMAPI. The eventual port to PostgreSQL is proposed as paid work for the Dutch OSM grant. But for PostGIS it would mean a hibride database. Stefan _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
