I too am concerned about the install complexity and performance when including a DB.
We've had some student teams working on APRS apps, and had "use a database for data store" and "data persistence between runs" as requirements. The ones that performed will generally did _not_ use a DB as the main data store, but used some sort of memory structure internal to the program (and dumped data to the DB either write-only as it came in, or as an "exit" function). Performance with sqlite was generally terrible, and using mysql on a dedicated server with 1Gb ethernet between the client and server was poor at best. There are lots of other performance issues involved (threading, etc), and the code was written for correct operation, not performance. There were no performance metrics assigned. Still, it makes me wonder... -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
