.,.IF AOL WAS A CAR..,,
1. The AOL car would have a TOP speed of 40 MPH yet have a 200 MPH Speedometer.
2. The AOL car would come equipped with a NEW and fantastic 8-Track tape player.
3. The car would often refuse to start and owners would just expect this and try again later.
4. The windshield would have an extra dark tint to protect the driver from seeing better cars.
5. AOL would sell the same model car year after year and claim it's the NEW model.
6. Every now and then the brakes on the AOL car would just "lock-up" for no apparent reason.
7. The AOL car would have a very plain body style but would have lots'a of pretty colors and lights.
8. The AOL car would have only one door but it would have 5 extra seats for family members.
9. AOL car mechanics would have no experience whatsoever in car repair.
10. If an AOL car owner received 3 parking tickets AOL would take the car off of them.
11. The AOL car would have an AOL Cell phone that can only place calls to other AOL car cell phones.
12. AOL would pass a new car law forbidding AOL car owners from driving near other car dealerships.
13. Younger AOL car drivers would be able to make other peoples AOL cars stall just for fun.
14. It would not be possible to upgrade your AOL car stereo.
15. AOL cars would be forced to use AOL gas that cost 20% more and gave worse mileage.
16. Anytime an AOL car owner saw another AOL car owner he would wonder, M/F/age?
17. It would be common for AOL car owners to divorce just to marry another AOL car owner.
18. AOL car owners would always claim to be older or younger than they really are.
19. AOL cars would come with a steering wheel and AOL would claim no other cars have them.
20. Every time you close the door on the AOL car it would say,"Good-Bye."

Alain, have you run postgreSQL with the -F option and compared them then?
I'd venture to say that if you did so, you'ld find PostgreSQL a bit more
desireable on the speed factor. Just remember, when you do so, you loose
some recovery possibilities -- as you're relying on the OS to sync data
from memory to disc.

Subsidiary question : why is mySQL excluded from RDBMS
comparison on postgress www site ?
I believe it's fairly stated: mySQL is not an RDBMS, so it
is not listed. A similar question: Why is Filemaker excluded?
FoxPro?
They all have a speedy, flat file, structure, glued together
in such a way that relational-like interactions are available.
Maybe because it's much faster ;)
The speed of not having some relational feature that you
desparately need, but is not availabe, is approximately
zero. :-)
I like it for simple structures, simple db's, but as soon as
you're trying to manage 30-40 tables, mySQL starts to get
in its own way. For running SQL to a flat db? It's much
better than PostgreSQL. 200 Tables? Don't even think about
it, get an RDBMS.
Sure, MySQL doesn't support transactions, rollbacks, ...
Foreign keys...
I've compared both engines and MySQL is much faster.
Yup. Different design goals.
However I'll need transaction to ensure reliability
for the database updates. I've thought at using PostgreSQL
for updates, and MySQL for select, the database being
dumped from PostgreSQL and reloaded into MySQL every
night. Probably with specific queries and scripts rather
than a dump to get a MySQL-compliant dump file.
Has anyone an experience about a similar solution ?
We are in the midst of nightly dumps of mySQL -> PostgreSQL,
in order to gradually migrate to a more robust solution...
however, it seems like your proposed idea _could_ work, with
some decent scripting. Fast for simple scans, too...
basically, you'd need text dumps, which are then re-wrapped
to mySQL-friendly insert (or whatever) statements.
HTH,

Get Paid to Surf the Web
Did I tell you about AllAdvantage.com?
http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=bil601
Every day, AllAdvantage.com's revolutionary Viewbar? service generates cash
for our members. As of today, we're paying members in the US, UK, Canada,
France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and various US Territories to surf
the Web with the Viewbar? service, and we'll keep adding more and more
countries. AllAdvantage.com has made getting paid to surf the Web an
international phenomenon!
Maybe I haven't told you yet, but I get paid to surf the Web.
Really!
I recently joined AllAdvantage.com, a new company that pays
its members to surf the Web - and they've been paying out hundreds of
thousands of dollars
to members since July.
What's the catch? There is no catch. Membership is totally
free and private. To earn money you agree to download a small message
window -- called a
Viewbar - on your desktop. The Viewbar delivers information about products
and
services available online.
AllAdvantage.com is for real:
Their Web site was the 12th most-visited property on the
Web in October. Last month, more than 30 AllAdvantage.com members earned
well over US$1,000 EACH and the top earner pulled in over US$4,400!
The company has more than 3 million members worldwide,
but there are still 75 million active online users (in the US and Canada
alone) who are
still waiting to hear about AllAdvantage.com and become members. Be sure
you're the
first to tell them about it!
The sooner you join, the sooner you'll get paid. Please use my
referral ID number (bil601), because I get paid when you sign up and surf.
Be
sure to tell all your riends who use the Internet -- the more referrals we
get, the more
money we can earn. You can sign up with AllAdvantage.com right away at
http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=bil601
This is a really great deal with no strings attached!
