No one said queuing systems are new. If you intend to mistake an instance for a class, then you shall only address your mistake. Indeed, a purely in-memory system is fast. In the relational database world this is generally called a "temporary table", and it can be used to efficiently process information between phases that require persistence. I am not planning to explain everything about RDBMS technology that people might do well to understand. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
