Hi Andre,

Thanks, many people were involved in bringing this resource to life, I belive we all smile when someone likes it! Don't we all love when it works! :-)

Indeed!   I love finding stuff out about other cultures, too.

remember for each query you do, Apache has to start the revolution engine, load the stack, load the database stack, perform the operations, build the response and shut everything down. This all happens very quickly.

Yes.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Coding databases in Rev is not like doing SQL databases at all, you need to code your software in smart ways, like build indexes and really think about your search and cross-reference routines. If possible the heavy duty job should be done on database insert/removal/ modification. Like when something changes the database, you recalculate all kinds of things to speed up your queries. Usually a database has more queries than it has modifications so if you make the modifications slower (due to extra computation) to make the queries faster, people will be happy.

That's quite interesting. The project I'm considering presently needs to be cross-platform and I'd rather not have to worry about shelling (in *nix) or using MySQL or similar that require the user to setup the database. Normally I'd just go for altSQL as it's a perfect solution - but not so much for *nix. I may well change how I see this but in the meantime your comments have given me considerable food for thought. The index idea is very cool.
