[U2] Shards

2011-07-14 Thread Jerry Banker 




Strange I was reading this article on sharding 
(http://technoroy.blogspot.com/2008/07/shard-database-design.html) and I 
starting thinking as I read. We can do this in UniBasic using UniVerse and 
distributed files, what's the big deal. Granted I may not be as up on this as 
some of the newbees but I have a few years of decyphering technical newspeak 
and it looks like some of the things that a shard is, is already being done 
in U2. Distributed files, where you can set up tables to be accessed separately 
or together, has been around since PI days. Like data, being stored together 
with a single read and single write is a mainstay of any of the Pick databases.

Yeah.  We had good experience using that functionality at a prior shop.
Wish they would come to Unidata.
