[wdvltalk] A few final questions...

2009-03-04 Thread Matthew Macdonald-Wallace

Hi All,

Firstly, Linda: will the archives remain online? I often find myself  
searching them if I have a problem I know has been discussed in the  
past.  If the archives are to be removed by internet.com, is there any  
chance that one of us could take the raw data and publish it somewhere?


Secondly, everyone: I'm working on a project involving MySQL currently  
using ISAM databases.  There may be a future requirement for  
Transactions and so I'm thinking of switching to innodb.  Does anyone  
know if there are any risks associated with making this change?


Thanks,

Matt

If that doesn't work out, mail-archive.com has archives of the list:

I think InnoDB is relatively mature and stable, insofar as MySQL can be 
called a mature and stable DB engine :)


Personally, if you're likely to grow to need transactions etc, I'd use 
PostgreSQL from the outset, but that's just me :)

Basically, the wdvltalk list will be closing at the end of the month; 
take a look at the archives to catch up on all the messages :)


It won't be the end of the wdvltalk community though; I'll set up a 
replacement list soon, and invite everyone to come join it.


Linda said that using the WDVL name for it would be frowned upon (which 
is fair enough) so we'll need a different name, but it'll be the same 
community.  My current favourite is wdag (web developers assistance 
group, as put forward by Matt).

It's not a flame war, it's just that you're wrong and MySQL sucks!

Actually, fair point about the replication; it's a shame that Postgres 
doesn't do it out of the box.


I assume you've looked at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgcluster/ though?

(And http://main.slony.info/ if you were interested in master-slave, 
rather than multi-master).

Yeah, but seing as the latest news on the website dates from 2005  
and it's still not _native_ clustering, I'm still not convinced.   
Especially as MySQL now has functionality for stored procedures and  
(using Innodb) has transaction support.



(And http://main.slony.info/ if you were interested in master-slave,
rather than multi-master).


Still not native... :oP

Agreed, sounds good!

I'm thinking WDAG for Web Developers Advice Group sounds reasonable;

WDAG 

Web Design Advisory Group, a Google Group
and
