question/suggestion
Apology in advance, this is not a bug, just wanted to ask if the following
issue is being considered:
Cloud computing seems to be quickly gaining ground as a deployment
technology for web apps.
From what I see this has not been good for Postgres. Google App Engine
cannot use Postgres and
Amazon's AWS cannot use Postgres.
I am a huge fan of Postgres and huge proponent of full-featured SQL, and
hate most of the web frameworks that inherently "dumb down" the database.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else is worried about this, or if anyone
is trying to bridge the gap between Postgres' architecture and the
architecture of cloud computing.
I wrote a "thought paper" on how this might be accomplished:

yet you propose dumbing down the database even farther, without any hope
of ACID compliance, without any transactional integrity, indeed, without
even really being relational ?
at least, thats what I get from my first read of it.
