Re: Advantages of Using SQL ?

[Matthew Schumacher]

Sometimes this comes down to what you need it to do.  I need a 
centralized user database platform wide so LDAP was the obvious choice 
so I ran that with detail accounting for a while but then I needed to do 
some bit counting and I also needed to calculate usage for the users. 
When it comes to this it is MUCH faster and easier to work with the 
database.  Now I just ask the database for the the usage instead of 
trying to parse a huge text log.

Everybody argue about something and usually its so difficult to come to 
a conclusion. Microsoft says windows is good, linux people say linux is 
better, I say FreeBSD is best :)

Anyhow the hardware is so fast and cheap nowadays that we dont need to 
be so efficient :) It is better to install things the most productive 
way. Usually it is enough...

By the way I would like to finish this with something which I think funny:

I just remembered something when I thought about efficient.
Microsoft always says the newer version of windows works faster and more 
efficiently etc. But yet they require faster cpu's and more memory in 
their system requirements :) When we leave the memory out, I wonder why 
a more efficient system require faster cpu :) there is a problem in this
equation :)
