Ah I see what you mean it's a very good analogy. I guess I view JackRabbit differently.
Not being at the beginning of the project (joining 6 months ago) I came to it from a different angle. Having worked with RDBMS for the last 15 years does make you a bit biased. I've always seen it as a much better data dictionary minus the storage bit. I think there will be an adoption problem if I ask my client's to drop their RDBMS vendor in favour of a relatively new storage and retrieval technology. Then there's the problem with all those dba's... ;) Simon -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Guggisberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 June 2005 12:12 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jackrabbit Wiki] Update of "PersistenceManagerFAQ" by edgarpoce On 6/9/05, Simon Gash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think that's right either.
