Hi Edwin, > if anybody would be so kind to share how they have experienced running > picolisp in production. fine, not just stories, but also numbers. how
Since we are using PicoLisp in production since 1986, I could perhaps tell a lot if I should remember it all. Concerning numbers, we have several customers running many years. Our oldest customer using the current system has the system running since January 2001 without interruption. The database of that customer is not very big, though (430 Megabytes, 277723 objects). > big have your databases grown? how fast has the picolisp appserver The biggest databases we had for another project, for systems indexing and classifying filer systems of big customers (I should not tell names here). There we had distributed databases (up to 70 interconnected databases) with nearly one billion objects. The larger databases within such a system were around 100-200 GB, more typical was around 20-80 GB. > delivered your queries? did you ever get to see the picolisp database I have never directly measured that speed, that wasn't an issue as all those apps were not oriented for especially many clients. In this context perhaps the results of the database contest in the german c't magazine (http://www.heise.de/kiosk/archiv/ct/2006/13/190) are relevant, where PicoLisp on the second price. > recover from unforeseen system errors like crashes from the operating > system and so? Fortunately, not yet. We tested such situations, however (pulling the plug), and normal power outages happened from time to time whithout any data loss so far. > can you please share your stories? would love to hear them. I'm afraid I'm not a good story-teller, so I hope the above fragments are useful ;-) Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picol...@software-lab.de?subject=unsubscribe
