Datastore works with data sets in the Terabyte size range. MySql Not so much.
GAE DataStore is distributed and dynamically scales for 100's of 1,000s if not millions of reads this second. And doesn't continue to cost you in an hour when no one is using the data. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Aloe Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 12:39 AM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Store data in GAE Hello, Suppose i have defined a database schema in GAE, it has Employee, Department, etc kinds as it could be defined in Relational database. One askes me why don't you just use relational database server like MSSQL, MYSQL, etc to store your data. I was trying to answer this kind of question by telling the advantage of using GAE, this kind of cloud data store. I have mentioned the widely accessibility of GAE from internet as an advantage, but one argue that it is also possible to access the data from MSSQL, MYSQL server once there is an internet connection available. Could you tell the advantage of using GAE data store? or how would you defend if one questions the point of using GAE data store. Hope to hear your good views! Thanks!
