I've drifted from the world of DB's a little. However, MonetDB had left an impression on me. I cannot say if the performance figures would carry over to Bacula's use case. Nor say if it is functionally suited. Those disclaimers aside I think it might be worth looking into. http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ http://monetdb.cwi.nl/SQL/Benchmark/TPCH/index.html HTH > attempted to establish a dialog directly with Monty to learn a bit more about > MariaDB, but so far that has not worked. > > We are not very pleased with where MySQL seems to be going (buggy beta > releases, uncertainity with Oracle acquisition, ...). > > If you have a large Bacula installation (100 or more jobs nightly) we highly > recommend PostgreSQL.
