Not being an expert on this and excuse me if this is a stupid question ... :) If this essentially replaced a back-end RDBMS - is it easy for people to query the data with other tools? For example, now I have my database of stored configuration I can readily query it via SQL - how do I get the same results with TC (can I?)? Secondly, how does it scale? Are there examples of large - and I suspect someone on the list can fill in volumes statistics - hash databases implemented in TC? We have some users who simply cannot use stored configuration because it kills their installations as a result of not scaling - Nigel at Google I am looking at you... :) Regards James Turnbull -- Author of: * Pro Linux Systems Administration (http://tinyurl.com/linuxadmin) * Pulling Strings with Puppet (http://tinyurl.com/pupbook) * Pro Nagios 2.0 (http://tinyurl.com/pronagios) * Hardening Linux (http://tinyurl.com/hardeninglinux)
