Hi Robert

You mention using MySQL or PostgreSQL for recovery log. Are there any
problem if we change the recovery log to use PostgreSQL at same host (that
Sequoia connected to)?

Regards
Francis

Hi Stuart, 

The backlog should disappear if you switch the log to write to a more
capable database such as MySQL.  MySQL by contrast can perform 2000 or more
updates per second on a single thread without difficulty.  You correctly
noted, by the way, that there is a single connection.  We use either MySQL
or PostgreSQL in the commercial products based on Sequoia.

The recovery log is written asynchronously, so it does not at least in
theory have too much impact on SQL update rates.  However, Hypersonic is
pretty slow and uses a lot of memory when you have large quantities of data.
Switching to an external database should speed things up at least a bit.

Cheers, Robert
