ok, that doesn't sound too hairy - Thanks for the info (PS: I tried it with bell on Ubuntu Karmic Koala, but ran into trouble because the packaged protobuffer library is older than what drizzle expects (2.03 vs 2.10). I'm not complaining - this is just FYI. If this is considered I bug, I'd be happy to file it, but since it came up I decided to mention it right away.) > > Ideally a user would just be using a version of Drizzle from their > distribution (or a downloaded binary for OSX and Windows). > > Cheers, > -Brian > >> they know which ones they need for their particular scenario. >> Now, assuming the reference documentation for all these plugins >> exists, that still means one needs to read all of it before you know >> what to get and do. >> >> One of the major challenges will be to make it easy for people with a >> DBA role to get up and running so they can try how it fits their use >> case. >> Preferably, without getting trapped in all kinds of build/installation >> issues, and without having intimate familiarity with the "plugin zoo" >> (not meaning this in a derogatory sense, just trying to convey the >> diversity) >> >> Ideally, 5 minutes of reading should be enough to learn what to >> download for the fairly common use case. >> Another 5 minutes to read up on any details on basic >> installation/configuration. >> >> In my experience, it's hard to write something that conveys all you >> need to know in just 5 minutes, but maybe that's just me. >> >> kind regards, >> >> Roland >> >> >> >>> >>> On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 12:58 PM, Brian Aker <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> +++ >>>> >>>> An intoduction to using drizzle would make for a great paper. >>>> >>>> Cheers, >>>> --Brian >>>> >>>> On Jan 1, 2010, at 10:05 AM, Baron Schwartz <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Just to play devil's advocate.
