Sometimes I think the datastore API *should* have generic sharded counter functionality built in, as this would make programming slightly easier. But I also *like* the lack of such a basic feature, because it shocks many newcomers into finally realizing that the datastore is not in fact a SQL database with a funny name, while also providing a gentle introduction to powerful concepts like sharding. In fact, maybe implementing a sharded counter should be a rite of passage for everyone in the GAE community :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
